Rory Gallagher: Crest of A Wave: The Best of Rory Gallagher
by Doug Collette
Even a died-in-the-wool Rory Gallagher aficionado may wonder if there is really a need for another anthology of the man's work. But the late Irish blues-rocker never did get the attention he deserved and remains an unsung hero of the blues-rock genre even to this day. Certain previous anthologies, even the sumptuously-packaged, 5.1 SuperAudio formatted Big ...
Grateful Dead: Grateful Dead: Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 4: Cal Expo '93
by Doug Collette
The Grateful Dead archive series Road Trips was conceived to include highlights of a given period in this iconic band's history, and Volume 2 Number 4 presents a streamlined take on two shows from the Cal Expo in 1993. In stark contrast to the cookie cutter amphitheatres the group was finding itself forced to play to ...
The Church: Insinuating and Addictive
by Doug Collette
The prolific output of The Church is in direct proportion to its devoted fans' appetite for the music. How else would this veteran Australian quartet be able to work so independently and successfully for over two decades, with only a single foray into the mainstream via 1988's “Under The Milky Way Tonight"? The quality of the ...
Jerry Garcia Band: Pure Jerry: Jerry Garcia Band - Bay Area 1978
by Doug Collette
Bereft of extensive historical content (or tchotchkes such as the guitar picks that were included in previous Pure Jerry titles) this double-disc composite of four 1978 shows makes a statement solely through the music. Everyone involved in the Jerry Garcia Band lineup, including its prestigious leader, sounds deeply immersed in the group camaraderie which, in turn, ...
John Mayall: Tough
by Doug Collette
John Mayall looks alternately dignified and defiant in the photos that adorn Tough. The music, however, is permeated with a consistent resolve. Displaying his usual emotionalism, the Godfather of British Blues offers an album largely comprised of covers recorded with an almost entirely new band. The wisdom of his concept(s) becomes apparent on the very first ...
The Beatles: Masterful in 2009
by Doug Collette
As with most news concerning The Beatles, the announcement of the release of remastered and repackaged CDs of the group's entire discography seemed at first something to celebrate. Second thoughts arose when details of the exercise were divulged. But over-cerebralization gets in the way of enjoying the music. The nature of the marketplace, and diversities of ...

by Doug Collette
The Allman Brothers Band US Cellular Pavilion at Meadowbrook Gilford, NH Aug. 24, 2009 In celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, The Allman Brothers Band would seem to be playing it safe, at least judging from setlists relying almost solely on staples of their repertoire. But if their ...

Various Artists Fillmore:The Last Days Rhino 2009 The growing wave of reminiscence around the 40th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock festival may be just the beginning of a nostalgia tide for this golden era of rock.

Phish at The Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, New York
by Doug Collette
Phish Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs, New York August 16, 2009 It's a long way from Fenway Park to Saratoga Springs New York, not so much in geographical terms, but in the progress Phish has made in recapturing their group chemistry since beginning their 2009 summer tour. ...
