From "A" to "F"

 

Aerosmith: Just Push Play Aerosmith

Just Push Play, then hold on to the railing as Steven Tyler and the boys once again show their credentials as the most durable American rock band in the kingdom. The single "Jaded" has already impacted, making way for "Beyond Beautiful," "Fly Away From Here," and the title track.


 

                             Bananafishbones: Viva Conputa 

Bananafishbones: My Private Rainbow   

They live in Bavaria, they're just able to mix every kind of musical tendence and make it sound special. Bananafishbones: Just a very special and not very usual gift.

The Blues Band: Best of The Blues Band   

Since their founding in 1979, The Blues Band has remained one of Britain's best kept secrets in so far as America is concerned. It was formed by 60s legends Paul Jones, Tom McGuinness (both ex-Manfred Mann), and Dave Kelly.

The Blues Band: The Official Bootleg Album / Ready 

Tracks Include: "Talk to Me Baby", "Flatfoot Sam", "Two Bones and a Pick, Diddy Wah Diddy", "Twenty Nine Ways", "Find Yourself Another Fool", "Treat her Right", "Can't Hold On", etc.

The Blues Band: Wire Less      

 

James Brown James Brown: Star Time   (4 Discs)

It's impossible to imagine a better summation of funk than this set. James invented R&B along with Ray Charles and then went on to invent soul and with "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" issued in the funk generation. This collection showcases the genius of James Brown and the funk as demonstrated by an unbelivable collection of musicians including the great Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Phelps Collins, Cash Waddy, Clyde Stubblefield, Fred Wesley, Jimmy Nolan, The Brecker Brothers, Kenny Burrell, Billy Cobham (drums on "King Herion") and many many others that you wouldn't believe.

Chicago (Miramax Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Rodney Crowell Eric Clapton, B.B. King: Riding With The King

Is there room enough for two blues giants on one album? Eric Clapton gives an unequivocal yes, trading hot riffs with friend
and lifelong mentor B.B. King on "Key to the Highway," "Worried Life Blues" and the smooth shufflin' title track.

Coldplay: A Rush of Blood to the Head Coldplay

Great mix of rocking, fast-paced songs and slow, mellow love songs. A Rush of Blood to the Head shows the gorgeous musical progression of Coldplay. After the assured and aesthetically perfect debut (Parachutes), the British quartet delivers a masterful follow-up.



Rodney Crowell Rodney Crowell: The Houston Kid

After several years without an album, and a move away from the major record labels, Crowell decided to do things his way. By producing an album funded with his own money on a small label long known for its devotion to artists away from the pretense of popular music, Crowell emerges with what may be one of the best releases of the year - an autobiographical collection of songs that depict scenes from a hardscrabble childhood spent on the wrong side of the tracks. Songs that represent a deeply personal journey on what it means to live a life filled with the effects and consequences of alcohol and domestic abuse, finally getting to the point where forgiveness brings the redemption that allows life to be lived in the present.

 

Dylan Bob Dylan: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Perhaps the greatest folk album ever. Dylan's message is still strong as it was yesterday.

 

The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

David Bowie: Hours The White Duke is truly back! And what a gorgeous homecoming it is. In Hours, he incorporates trip-hop, ambient, synth-pop, glam, and a couple other styles. David Bowie has indeed mastered the art of rejuvenalization and pushing the boundaries of musical genius to infinite dimensions. Another classic from an artist who is still essential.

   Captain Beefheart: The Dust Blows Forward [BOX SET]

Wendy Carlos (a.k.a. Walter Carlos): A Clockwork Orange Wendy Carlos has been setting the standard by which all other electronic music is judged ever since her first release, Switched On Bach, in 1968. More recently Beauty In The Beast (1986) exploded the possibilities of alternate tunings and showed itself to be years ahead of the rest of the pack. And now Wendy bursts forth again, this time utilizing all of her resources -- alternate tunings, digital orchestrations, real live singers, and of course her own composing skill. The depth of field, the density of content, and the uncanny accuracy of her "synthesizing" (you can't tell real from synthesized) make this a recording to be studied for years to come.

Fastball:  Painting the Corners: The Best of Fastball [Enhanced]

Fastball: The Harsh Light of Day 

Austin-based trio Fastball provides music for the Third Millennium. Harsh Light of Day would have fit in quite nicely between The Beatles' Rubber Soul and Revolver... Best song: "You're an Ocean".

Fastball: All the Pain Money Can Buy 

Best songs on the album: Scalzo's witty "The Way" and Zuniga's droning "Fire Escape" ("I don't want to be President, Superman, or Clark Kent...").
