Fats Domino – Out Of New Orleans (1993) [Box Set]

Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans (1993) [Box Set]

An amazing piece of work — a massive eight-CD boxed set that contains every one of Fats Domino’s 1949-1962 Imperial waxings. That’s a tremendous load of one artist, but the legacy of Domino and his partner Dave Bartholomew is so consistently innovative and infectious that it never grows tiresome for a second.

Toto – Toto IV (1982) [1994, Sony MasterSound, 24-Karat Gold Disc Remastered]

Toto - Toto IV (1982) [1994, Sony MasterSound, 24-Karat Gold Disc Remastered]

It was do or die for Toto on the group’s fourth album, and they rose to the challenge. Largely dispensing with the anonymous studio rock that had characterized their first three releases, the band worked harder on its melodies, made sure its simple lyrics treated romantic subjects, augmented Bobby Kimball’s vocals by having other group members sing, brought in ringers like Timothy B. Schmit, and slowed down the tempo to what came to be known as “power ballad” pace. Continue reading “Toto – Toto IV (1982) [1994, Sony MasterSound, 24-Karat Gold Disc Remastered]”

Billy Fury – A Thousand Stars: The Best of Billy Fury (2014)

Billy Fury - A Thousand Stars: The Best of Billy Fury (2014)

His unmistakable strain of Rock ‘n’ Roll resulted in no less than 27 charting UK Singles, and this compilation includes all of them, including Top-3 smashes: Halfway To Paradise, Jealousy, Like I’ve Never Been Gone and When Will You Say I Love You.

The Shadows ‎– The Early Years (Expanded Edition): Their Complete Studio Recordings 1959-1966 (1991) [2013, Reissue, Box Set]

To be fair, this six-CD set is really for completists only, since the price tag is likely to put off anyone else. But if you’ve been hooked on the beautiful guitar work of Hank Marvin and the surprisingly muscularity of the band, delving deeper is a very good idea. Not only do you get all the big hits — like “Apache,” “F.B.I.,” and “The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt” (or even the wonderfully named “I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Arthur”) — you get literally everything.

Gregg Allman – Southern Blood (2017)

Gregg Allman - Southern Blood (2017)

“My Only True Friend,” from Southern Blood, Gregg Allman’s final album, is a cipher, much like the man himself — private, reserved, and complex. Though twin, ringing, blues-drenched guitars introduce it, the song just as quickly morphs into a ballad: “You and I both know, this river will surely flow to an end/Keep me in your heart…I hope you’re haunted by the music of my soul…But you and I both know, the road is my only true friend….” The blues guitars cascade in again, adding resonance. This is the only track here that Allman co-wrote, but it’s fine enough to join the shortlist of his classics — “Midnight Rider,” “Melissa,” “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More,” etc. Continue reading “Gregg Allman – Southern Blood (2017)”

UFO – A Conspiracy of Stars (2015) [Limited Edition]

UFO - A Conspiracy of Stars (2015) [Limited Edition]

UFO has endured a myriad of lineup changes and stylistic shifts over its long career, but the band has always served as a haven for quality musicianship, and Conspiracy of Stars does little to tarnish that reputation.

Label: Virgin | EU | Cat#: 7243 8 13081 2 7 | Genre: Progressive Rock

Following the meltdown of the original King Crimson lineup, Ian McDonald and Michael Giles brought brother Peter Giles back, which helps to account, in some ways, for the resemblance of this album to the 1968 Giles, Giles & Fripp recordings — though the songs here tend to go on at some length, combining prog rock’s traits of length and multiple sections with some of the lighter feel of the GG&F days.
