It's perfectly reasonable to state that the Beatles' Let It Be Super Deluxe Special Edition is the iconic group's third attempt to release music from their (three weeks of) January 1969 recordings. Originally set to be released as an album titled Get Back Don't Let Me Down and 12 Other Songs (as emblazoned on a contemporary ...

Read "Springtime in New York 1980-1985: The Bootleg Series, Volume 16 (5CD)" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Generally speaking, revelations abound within the various installments of The Bootleg Series, Bob Dylan's ongoing archive initiative, and Volume 16 is no exception. But in listening to Springtime in New York, 1980- 1985, the epiphanies come in slow bursts, flashing over the course of the five CDs to generate a cumulative momentum that reaches a flash-point ...

Sam Cooke: Legend

Read "Sam Cooke: Legend" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Sam Cooke Legend Abkco 2021 With a running time of seventy minutes, the documentary on singer/composer/producer Sam Cooke is far shorter than the bonus material included on the DVD of Legend.

The Biscodini Organ Trio: Lockdown

The collective light touch tendered by this guitar/keyboard/drums ensemble taps the potential of the format in such a way both the material and ...

Read "The Wild Exciting Sounds of Marshall Crenshaw: Live in the 20th & 21st Century" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Live in the 20th & 21st Century is not the first collection of Marshall Crenshaw in concert. The Wild Exciting Sounds of Marshall Crenshaw follows collections titled (with equally sardonic wit) My Truck is My Home (Razor & Tie, 1994) and I've Suffered For My Art...Now It's Your Turn (King Biscuit, 2001), among others.

Chrissie Hynde: Standing In The Doorway: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan

Read "Standing In The Doorway: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The existence of Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan might well have been inevitable, if only because she and The Bard share some patently obvious personality traits, not the least of which are a staunch independence and a healthy, if wickedly wry, sense of humor. But even conceptions of the greatest clarity don't necessarily lead to so ...
