Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown: The Devil to Pay

Read "Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown: The Devil to Pay" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

John Mayall may remain the so-called 'Godfather of British Blues," but if that's so, then Kim Simmonds is certainly his consigliere. After all, Simmonds did mentor three members of Foghat, among other stalwarts of the the British blues boom of the late Sixties. And like Mayall, Simmonds has followed a similar path of regular touring and ...

The Chris Robinson Brotherhood: Betty's Blends Volume Two - Best from the West

Read "The Chris Robinson Brotherhood: Betty's Blends Volume Two - Best from the West" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Even before the final fracture of the Black Crowes, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood proved their prolific nature and hearty work ethic. To date they've produced three studio albums, accompanied by regular roadwork, that's now given birth to two live collections in what looks to be a series of such titles under the aegis of Betty Cantor-Jackson, ...

Chick Corea & Bela Fleck: Two

Read "Chick Corea & Bela Fleck: Two" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The collaboration of pianist/composer Chick Corea and banjoist/composer Bela Fleck is a magnificent meeting of the minds, one as unlikely as jazz of any era is likely to see and hear. The ever-so-serious and often precious approach of the former is largely contrasted by the playful, though occasionally cute-to-a-fault latter, but the complementary nature of their ...

Jerry Garcia: Broadway: Act One: October 28th, 1987

Read "Broadway: Act One: October 28th, 1987" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The deliciously relaxed air of the music on these three discs belies the precision in the musicianship as much as it does the operations necessary for a two week run on a Broadway theater. And all this attention to detail, well-served as it is, gives the lie to the moment of serendipity from which it sprung:an ...

The Who Live at Shea Stadium 1982

Read "The Who Live at Shea Stadium 1982" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The Who Live at Shea Stadium 1982 Eagle Vision 2015 It's equal parts courageous and foolish for The Who to release this document of their 'farewell' tour from over four decades ago as the group celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2015. Business enterprise aside, the band as it was constituted at ...

Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers Deluxe Edition

Read "Sticky Fingers Deluxe Edition" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

In combination with the 2015 'Zip Code' tour, on which the band played the album in its entirety more than once, the reissue of the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers (Rolling Stones Records, 1971) is a valiant and fully-justified effort to restore the significance of the album, the importance of which has suffered over time in comparison ...

Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4

Read "Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

There's a theory a nascent jazzlover could build an estimable collection of the music simply by picking and choosing from the discography of Miles Davis and the various musicians with whom he's collaborated over the years. Likewise, the mercurial alterations of style enacted by the man with the horn reflect the evolution of the music itself, ...

Jimi Hendrix: Freedom-Atlanta Pop Festival

Read "Jimi Hendrix: Freedom-Atlanta Pop Festival" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Jimi Hendrix' performance at the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in Bethel, NY may be his most iconic single live performance, but as the conclusion of the August 1969 event, it was offered in front of approximately half the 300-400,000audience he faced at the Atlanta Pop Festival roughly a year later. Contained on two-disc ...
