Tommy Talton: Seven Levels
by Doug Collette
Tommy Talton has the distinction of co-leading the band Cowboy, one of the select few acts on the Capricorn Records roster during the heyday of Southern rock that did not sound like the Allman Brothers Band. Emphasizing vocal harmonies and concise song structure with a decidedly folky feel, Talton, along with Scott Boyer, co-fronted an ensemble ...
Jimi Hendrix: Bold As Love ( 4CD + Blu-ray)
by Doug Collette
Recent history suggests the Jimi Hendrix estate would seem to be approaching the iconic guitarist's three original studio albums in reverse order. Electric Ladyland (Reprise, 1968) was issued in suitably extravagant form in 2018, fifty years after its original release. Now, Bold As Love (Reprise, 1967), simultaneously follows and predates the previous entry in the man's ...
The Who: Who Are You
by Doug Collette
Besides being the last studio album issued prior to drummer Keith Moon's passing in 1978, Who Are You holds the distinction of being the most enervating release in the British quartet's discography, even more so than the previous album, The Who By Numbers (MCA, 1975).Featuring as it does only one outside musician, the late ...
Mike Mizwinski: Sometimes By Surprise
by Doug Collette
The 53-plus minutes of deep introspection rendered tangible in a baker's dozen tracks by Mike Mizwinski and company transcends its most overt influences. In fact, the clear-cut echoes of Bob Dylan's “Tangled Up In Blue" on this opener, “Out at the Lake" pique the curiosity to hear more, if only to take note of the esteemed ...
Smooth Elevator: Moving Target
by Doug Collette
With a band name that bespeaks fluid motion in the general direction of ascent, Smooth Elevator has set a high bar for itself. But the international trio of guitarist Will Bernard, bassist Danilo Gallo and drummer Gioele Pagliaccia wisely recorded Moving Target live in the studio, fresh from live dates, and, in so doing, captured the ...
Ronnie Wood: Fearless: The Anthology 1965-2025
by Doug Collette
If the Ronnie Wood anthology Fearless proves anything, it is that the predominant virtues of the peripatetic British musician are largely intangible. Not that the guitarist, songwriter and singer is not talented in those various roles, but that his most salient attributes, at least as depicted here, as those of a convivial individual who invariably contributes ...
Wolfgang Muthspiel: Tokyo
by Doug Collette
Even a mere cursory perusal of Wolfgang Muthspiel's discography reveals how his playing has evolved over the years, populating a body of work that is roundly eclectic, but nonetheless focused. That very summary might well also apply to this third outing with the aforementioned high-profile rhythm section of bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade (ECM, ...
Matt Schofield: Many Moons Vol. 1
by Doug Collette
The blues boom that exploded in England during the mid-to-late 1960s bequeathed more than a few guitar heroes to the world, including, but not limited to, Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. But none of those fretboarders or their contemporaries and descendants has been any more loyal to the genre than Matt Schofield.
Marshall Crenshaw: From "The Hellhole"
by Doug Collette
In something of a reflection of its sardonic title, Marshall Crenshaw's From “The Hellhole" is not an album of all-new, never-before-recorded original material. It consists instead of revamped versions of recordings the Detroit native 'completed' for release in various forms in recent years (not the least of which is the now out-of-print #392: The EP Collection ...
Dino Saluzzi: El Viejo Caminante
by Doug Collette
El Viejo Caminante is a natural and logical extension of Dino Saluzzi's Albores (ECM, 2020). On that solo album, the bandleader used his instrument (the bandoneon--an accordion-like instrument with origins in Germany) to mesmerize and during this companion piece/sequel, Saluzzi's interplay with his two bandmates is comparably hypnotizing. As such, the album belies the ...
