Jimi Hendrix: Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision
by Doug Collette
Dyed-in-the-wool cynics, Jimi Hendrix fans or not, may well perceive Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision as a thinly-veiled means to camouflage the reality that the late guitar hero's vault may have been archived to its fullest possible extent. But the film at the heart of the collection acts as a prism of sorts, shedding ...
Dave Edmunds: Swan Songs: The Singles 1976-1981
by Doug Collette
Extended as is Joe Marchese's essay in the twelve-page booklet enclosed with Swan Songs, it is nonetheless as breezy and free-flowing as the content spread across the two compact discs. Consisting of cuts originally issued 45-rpm singles on the label imprimatur of Led Zeppelin (referenced in the main title of the package), the cumulative impact of ...
Louis Stewart & Jim Hall: The Dublin Concert
by Ian Patterson
When Jim Hall decided to spend the 1982 Christmas holidays in Ireland, did he really think that one of the most influential jazz guitarists in history could pass through incognito? The master of modern jazz guitar who had played with Chico Hamilton, Jimmy Giuffre, Ben Webster, Ella Fitzgerald, Sonny Rollins and Art Farmer, who was celebrated ...
JD Souther: You're Only Lonely
by Doug Collette
JD Souther might well be considered the unsung hero of country rock as we know it. Forget for the moment the ill-conceived and woefully mis-executed David Geffen vanity project that was Souther, Hillman and Furay: his early alliance in Longbranch Pennywhistle, with the late Glenn Frey, co-founder of the Eagles, led to Souther's collaborations with that ...
Feats Don't Fail Me Now (Deluxe Edition) (3CD)
by Doug Collette
Inside the twenty-page booklet enclosed within the Feats Don't Fail Me Now (Deluxe Edition), an erudite essay by esteemed author/biographer Dennis McNally gives due recognition to artist Neon Park's outlandish front cover image for Little Feat's fourth longplayer. As with the other imagery of this artist that adorns the group's various longplayers, it is a thought-provoking ...
Book of Queens
by Doug Collette
Released in 2023 with next to no fanfare, the very gestation of the Eric Krasno/Stanton Moore Project's first effort carries a cachet all its own. Recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York, and mixed by Jim Scott (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Wilco), Book of Queens is tribute to women in music wherein the nine covers ...
Catch A Fire: 50th Anniversary Edition (3 CD)
by Doug Collette
Bob Marley and the Wailers' Catch A Fire 50th Anniversary Edition is a logical extension of the 2001 Deluxe Edition of the title. Whereas that latter double-CD package included this seminal reggae record in both its original and overdubbed form, this latest exhumation from the vault includes the studio album as originally released, the complete concert ...
String Planes
by Dan McClenaghan
Collin Sherman takes the 'A' train to his day job in Manhattan. Billy Strayhorn, the writer of the tune “Take the 'A' Train" that was made famous by the Duke Ellington Orchestra, must be smiling. Do the seeds of Sherman's compositions germinate during these forty-five-minute rides? Possibly, though his music has no resemblance to Ellington's or ...
James Emery: Inside Outlier
by Glenn Astarita
Emerging in the 1970s, renowned guitarist James Emery quickly became a name to drop in the jazz scene, synonymous with that 'new jazz smell' of innovation. A founding member of the String Trio of New York, his career has been an outstanding potluck of collaborations, bringing to the table dishes seasoned with the genius of Anthony ...
Gary Clark, Jr.: JPEG RAW
by Doug Collette
In contrast to Gary Clark Jr.'s thunderous stage performances, the keen impact of which permeate Live (Warner Bros., 2014) and Live in North America 2016 (Warner Bros., 2017), his studio albums, including JPEG RAW, are ambitious eclectic pieces of work the force of which grow inexorably with repeated listening. Its title an acronym for ...
