NORAH JONES - Little Broken Hearts (2012)

Norah Jones has set a May 1 release date for Little Broken Hearts (Blue Note/EMI), her stunning new album produced by Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton). Jones has also revealed the album cover and track listing of the 12-song set, which features original songs co-written by Jones and Burton. Jones drew the inspiration for the album cover from the vintage movie posters that adorn Burton's Los Angeles studio. "Brian has this great collection of Russ Meyer posters in his studio," explains Jones, "and this particular one, called Mudhoney, was right over the couch where I sat every day. I always was looking at it and thinking `that's so cool I want to look like her!' I remember staring at the poster the whole time we made the record. It's a great visual." Little Broken Hearts is the fascinating next step in the artistic evolution of one of the music world's most consistently intriguing singer-songwriters. Jones first emerged on the world stage 10 years ago this month with the February 2002 release of Come Away With Me, her self-described "moody little record" that introduced a singular new voice and grew into a global phenomenon, sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards and signaling a paradigm shift away from the prevailing synthetic pop music of the time. Come Away With Me has just become the #10 best-selling album of the Soundscan era. The album has sold 25 million copies worldwide. Since then, Jones has released three more critically acclaimed and commercially successful solo albums--Feels Like Home (2004), Not Too Late (2007), and The Fall (2009)--as well as two albums with her country collective The Little Willies. The 2010 compilation ...Featuring Norah Jones showed her to possess an incredibly versatile voice by collecting her collaborations with artists as diverse as Willie Nelson, Outkast, Herbie Hancock, and Foo Fighters. Jones previously collaborated with Danger Mouse on his acclaimed 2011 album ROME, a valentine to classic Italian film score music that also featured Jack White. - amazon.com

HUMBLE PIE - Natural Born Bugie: The Immediate Anthology (2000)

A showcase for former Small Faces' frontman Steve Marriott and one-time Herd guitar virtuoso Peter Frampton, the hard rock outfit Humble Pie formed in Essex, England in 1969. Also featuring ex-Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley along with drummer Jerry Shirley, the fledgling group spent the first several months of its existence locked away in Marriott's Essex cottage, maintaining a relentless practice schedule. Signed to the Immediate label, Humble Pie soon issued their debut single "Natural Born Boogie," which hit the British Top Ten and paved the way for the group's premiere LP, As Safe as Yesterday Is. After touring the U.S. in support of 1969's Town and Country, Humble Pie returned home only to discover that Immediate had declared bankruptcy. The band recruited a new manager, Dee Anthony, who helped land them a new deal with A&M; behind closed doors, Anthony encouraged Marriott to direct the group towards a harder-edged, grittier sound far removed from the acoustic melodies favored by Frampton. As Marriott's raw blues shouting began to dominate subsequent LPs like 1970's eponymous effort and 1971's Rock On, Frampton's role in the band he co-founded gradually diminished; finally, after a highly charged U.S. tour which yielded 1971's commercial breakthrough Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore, Frampton exited Humble Pie to embark on a solo career. Natural Born Bugie: The Immediate Anthology features 34 tracks by hard rock outfit Humble Pie, originally recorded for the Immediate label in 1969. - allmusic.com

KINGDOM COME - Live & Unplug ged (1996)

During the late '80s, few metal bands were as controversial as Kingdom Come. With a Led Zeppelin resurgence in full bloom around this time but Page-Plant-Jones refusing to reunite for a tour, a void was created, and groups like Kingdom Come were more than happy to fill it. With a sound that was a carbon copy of the mighty Zep, Kingdom Come scored a hit with their 1988 self-titled debut, before sinking into obscurity shortly thereafter. But throughout the '90s and early 21st century, singer Lenny Wolf kept the group afloat -- touring and issuing all-new studio albums (with a rotating cast of supporting players). And to show how extensive the "unpled craze" of the '90s was, Kingdom Come even got in the act, issuing Live & Unpled in 1996. All these years later, Wolf's Robert Plant-esque vocals are as strong as ever, as heard on the electrified versions of "What Love Can Be" ("Since I've Been Loving You," anyone?) and "Do You Like It," while their biggest hit, "Get It On," is mysteriously absent. But it's the second disc that longtime fans will probably be buying the set for, as Wolf croons his way through a surprise cover of the Beatles' "And I Love Her" and such originals as "You're Not the Only." But one complaint -- it just doesn't make sense why this set couldn't have been issued as a single-disc set, as it is comprised of only 15 tracks (with "You're Not the Only" repeated twice). And since it's a German import, Live & Unpled isn't exactly cheap, either.

TRACKS: 01. Living Out Of Touch 02. Blood On The Band 03. I Dont Care 04. What Love Can Be 05. Always On The Run 06. Do You Like It 07. Thank You All 08. Hope Is On Fire 09. Friends 10. And I Love Her 11. You'll Never Know 12. Rather Be On My Own 13. Can't Let Go 14. Janine 15. You're My Secret 16. You're Not The Only I Know (Version 1) 17. You're Not The Only I Know (Version 2)

STEVE HOWE - Not Necessarily Acoustic (1994)

Recorded in intimate club performances in late 1993, this live and nearly unpled collection ably spans three decades of Howe's releases. Lead vocals are always a weak spot for him, and so he wisely constrains most of this album to solo instrumentals. The result is a headphone treat, as if you're sitting right in front of his amp and his famed collection of guitars. Of special interest is his one vocal and guitar piece, a seamless medley of each movement from Tales from Topographic Oceans; it's as close to a Tales demo session as fans will ever get. Because Howe's albums are a pastiche of already ripened styles -- a "Meadow Rag" here, a steel guitar twang in "Cactus Boogie" there, and a flamenco-tinged "Mood for a Day" to top it off -- the material on Not Necessarily Acoustic has hardly dated, and it sounds less like a retrospective than a unified new album. The one unfortunate omission is that while the concerts had a nod to his psychedelic days with Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle," there's nothing from that era on this disc. - allmusic.com

TRACKS: 01. The Valley Of Rocks 02. Heritage 03. Arada 04. Country Mix: a. White Silver Sands b. Green Bay Polka c. Steel Guitar Rag 05. Excerpts From Tales From Topographics Oceans 06. Bareback 07.

ERIC JOHNSON - Alien Love Child: Live And Beyond (2000)

Eric Johnson is an American musician, songwriter, and vocalist from Austin, Texas. Best known for his electric guitar skills, Johnson is also a highly proficient acoustic, lap steel, resonator, and bass guitarist as well as an accomplished pianist and vocalist. Eric Johnson’s stature as one of the premier guitar players in contemporary music is his artistic trump card, backed by a Grammy Award and five nominations, platinum album, Top 10 hits like “Cliffs Of Dover,” praise from critics and the esteem of his peers. But the full hand of his talents marks him as well as a gifted songwriter, dynamic live performer, singer, pianist, song interpreter, and creator of a rich and diverse musical legacy.

Live and Beyond, captured at Austin's famed Antone's blues club, finds quietly persuasive guitar hero Eric Johnson and his two-man band, Alien Love Child, at the peak of their powers. While the blues-based, primarily instrumental material will find favor mainly with guitar worshippers, several cuts are more than mere showcases for Johnson's groove-laden, flavorful yet delicate playing, and the band's tight, fluid jams. "Once a Part of Me," with Malford Milligan of Storyville joining in on vocals, is slow, sensual, and Clapton-esque, while the standout "Boogie King," a tribute to John Lee Hooker, is aggressively progressive. Johnson's strengths do not lie in his vocals and lyrics; ultimately, it's songs like the effortless, Hendrix-like "Elevator Sky Movie," where Johnson reaches his impressive apogee. - amazon.com

TRACKS: 01. Zenland 02. Last House On The Block 03. Rain 04. Enzo Shuffle 05. Once A Part Of Me 06. Don't Cha Know 07. The Boogie King 08. Elevator Sky Movie 09. Shape I'm In 10. World of Trouble

ANGELICA - Angelica (1997)

Angelica is an intriguing blend of opera and rock spearheaded by songwriter/composer Clif Magness and lyricist Carole Bayer Sager. The project features four sopranos -- Julia Bonilla, Anita DeSimone, Sewell Griffith and Rebecca Semrau - who are supported by a wide array of professional studio musicians, including bassist Nathan East, pianist David Foster, the Boys Choir of Harlem and guitarists Steve Vai, Eric Johnson and Dweezil Zappa. Essentially, the album is opera songs performed with rock spirit - big beats, big chords, big dynamics and pure intensity. Magness has rearranged selections from Verdi's Carmen, Mozart's The Magic Flute, Puccini's Madame Butterfly and Gianni Chicchi, and Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, as well as several selections from Schubert, Gounod and Franck, for a rock band, keeping the actual arrangements and feeling of the original composition. Occasionally it works, occasionally it doesn't, but Angelica is never less than intriguing, and adventurous listeners - particularly fans of prog-rock - might want to give it a try.

TRACKS: 01. O Mio Babbino Caro (featuring Sewell Griffith/Clif Magness) 02. Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring (featuring The Boys Choir Of Harlem/David Foster) 03. Madam Butterfly: Un Bel Di (featuring Sewell Griffith) 04. The Magic Flute: Der Holle Rache (Queen Of The Night) Steve Vai 05. Adriana Lecouvreur: Io Son L'umile Ancella (featuring Rebecca Semrau) 06. Ave Maria (featuring Lori Stinson/Eric Johnson) 07.

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM & STEVIE NICKS - Buckingham Nicks (1973)

While it will be hard to find, this lone album cut by a young and ambitious (and still romantically attached) Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham a short two years before joining Fleetwood Mac is well worth digging out for your turntable. There are a few CD versions floating around, but they were no doubt burned from vinyl copies anyway, so don't be fooled. With the Mac's highly lucrative 1997 reunion there was serious talk of a re-release, but apparently it was just talk. Considering what the duo was to later accomplish, Buckingham Nicks is an engaging listen and served as a proving ground of sorts for both artists' songwriting chops and for Buckingham's skills as an emerging studio craftsman. It was a good enough resumé for Fleetwood Mac, who re-recorded the beautifully cerebral "Crystal" when the duo joined them for 1975's self-titled comeback album. The high-octane rockabilly of "Don't Let Me Down Again" became a staple of the band's concert sets well into the 1980s. Crisp, ringing acoustic guitars and a bottom-heavy rhythm section (using the talents of Waddy Wachtel, Jim Keltner, and Jerry Scheff) framed the pair's songs in a sound something akin to FM-ready folk-rock. Lesser known tracks like the glistening opener, "Crying in the Night," from Nicks and Buckingham's lonely-guy lament, "Without a Leg to Stand On," are on a par with their later mega hits. At the same time, the misogyny of Buckingham's "Lola, My Love" is a real eye-roller and the orchestral overtones of "Frozen Love" show that the two were over-reaching themselves just a bit. Buckingham-Nicks was a stiff however and the couple had lost their deal with Polydor. But 1975, of course, proved to be one of their better years. - allmusic.com

STREETWALKERS - Live (1977)

Streetwalkers were an English rock band formed in late 1973 by two former members of Family, vocalist Roger Chapman and guitarist John "Charlie" Whitney. They were a five piece band which evolved from Chapman and Whitney's previous touring band Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers. The band was managed by Michael Alphandary and Harvey Goldsmith and were best known for their live performances and their album Red Card (1976). By 1977 their potential to become more important in UK rock history was diminished by changing musical taste, due to the growing influence of Punk rock and New Wave music on European culture. The band had success in USA and Europe, particularly Germany.

After Vicious But Fair did nothing in the U.S., Mercury passed on this live double set, which British Phonogram made available to the half-dozen or so Streetwalkers fans in America. There's not much to recommend here, the sound quality is awful, and the vinyl pressing frequently fuzzes into a ball of distortion when the band plays in unison. Chapman tears off a few soulful moments, and when the band doesn't sound like a bunch of prog-rock hacks, it can rock. This is only for the truly fanatical. - cduniverse.com

HUMBLE PIE - Performance: Rockin' The Fillmore (1971)

Recorded while Peter Frampton was still in the band, Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore captures an early performance by Humble Pie where Steve Marriot's lyricism and ideas where balanced by Frampton's searing lead guitar. This is hardly as engaging as As Safe Yesterday Is, which had studiocraft along with songcraft, but as a document of a band at a pivotal point in their existence, this is valuable and at times insightful.

There is a story that, during the mixing of the album, the band presented what they thought to be the finished product to their manager, Dee Anthony. Upon listening to it, he made one comment: "Great, but where's the audience?" It turned out that Marriott and drummer Jerry Shirley were stoned and had forgotten to include the sound of the audience in the mix - so it was back to the mixing desk. Shortly before the album's release, guitarist Peter Frampton left due to growing friction between Marriott and him. His departure hurt Marriott greatly, though he would never admit it to the other band members. The album's steady sales helped Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore to become the band's first RIAA gold record, and its popularity helped the band's previous album, Rock On, to reach gold album status as well.

TRACKS: 01. Four Day Creep 02. I'm Ready 03. Stone Cold Fever 04. I Walk On Gilded Splinters 05. Rolling Stone 06. Hallelujah (I Love Her So) 07. I Don't Need No Doctor

JACK WHITE - Blunderbuss (2012)

Jack White, often credited as Jack White III, is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, multi-instrumentalist and occasional actor. He was best known as the guitarist, pianist and lead vocalist of The White Stripes until they split in February 2011, as well as a member of The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. Blunderbuss is the debut solo album by Jack White, released on April 24, 2012 through White's own label Third Man Records in association with XL Recordings and Columbia Records. The album was written, recorded and produced entirely by White in 2011. The first single from the album, "Love Interruption" was released on January 30 through White's website and Third Man Records website.

Produced by Jack White and recorded at his own Third Man Studio in Nashville, Blunderbuss has been described by White as "an album I couldn't have released until now. I've put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas."

TRACKS: 01. Missing Pieces 02. Sixteen Saltines 03. Freedom At 21 04. Love Interruption 05. Blunderbuss 06. Hypocritical Kiss 07. Weep Themselves To Sleep 08. I'm Shakin' 09. Trash Tongue Talker 10.

VICTORIA WILLIAMS - Loose (1994)

Victoria Williams's endearingly sweet folk narratives gained a national audience when Pearl Jam had a hit with her "Crazy Mary." The childhood remembrance was the featured track on SWEET RELIEF, an all-star collection compiled to aid Williams when medical bills stemming from her strle against muscular dystrophy stacked up. From 1994's LOOSE, her first album released post-benefit, it's not hard to tell why even jaded rockers might line up to her rescue. Williams radiates an aura of unconditional love and innocent wonder on a touchingly earnest set of songs about her country neighbors and faithful pups. In her fluttering childlike voice, even a song titled "U R Loved" is cynic-proof. The highlight of the album is clearly Williams's soaring orchestral recording of "Crazy Mary," both simple and thunderous, uplifting and melancholy--a perfect sample of the rich tapestry that is Victoria Williams. - cduniverse.com

RYKARDA PARASOL - Our Hearts First Meet (2006) & For Blood and Wine (2009)

Often compared to Nick Cave, Nico and the Velvet Underground, and Johnny Cash, Parasol weaves intricate tales infused with raw, visceral lyrics, dark meaning and simmering atmosphere. The end result is a highly stylized aesthetic of both sound and imagery. Rykarda Parasol describes her dark sound as "Rock Noir". A unique deep gender-bending voice, Parasol's stories are narratives derived from her personal life. Often compared to literary notables as well as musical ones, Parasol's education is in literature and fine art. Her words and imagery are as much related to art, literature, and theatre as they are to music. Musically, she draws on American rock, soul and southern influences as well as Northern European styles both modern and ancient. A San Francisco native, Parasol and has also lived in Texas, Los Angeles, and presently splitting her time in Paris, France and San Francisco. She is the product of Swedish mum and Israeli father, a Holocaust survivor. She has written and self-produced / self-released two highly acclaimed albums.

SANDY DENNY - A Boxful Of Treasures (2004)

Sandy Denny (1947 – 1978), born Alexandra Elene Maclean Denny, was an English singer and songwriter, perhaps best known as the lead singer for the folk rock band Fairport Convention. She has been described by Allmusic's Richie Unterberger as "the pre-eminent British folk rock singer". After briefly working with British folk band the Strawbs, Denny joined Fairport Convention in 1968, remaining with that band until the end of 1969. She formed the short-lived band Fotheringay in 1970, releasing one album with them (another unreleased album would surface some three decades later), before focusing on a solo career. Between 1971 and 1977, Denny released four solo albums: The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, Sandy, Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, and Rendezvous. She is also noted as the only guest vocalist on a Led Zeppelin studio album, when she shared a duet with Robert Plant for "The Battle of Evermore" on Led Zeppelin IV (1971). Music publications Sunday Express, Uncut and Mojo have each called Denny Britain's finest female singer-songwriter. Her composition "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" has been recorded by many artists as diverse as Judy Collins, Nina Simone and Cat Power.

The most comprehensive portrait of one of England's finest singer/songwriters. A deluxe five CD long format box-set. Includes such previously unreleased gems as 'Silver Threads & Golden Needles' (outtake from 'Fotheringay'), 'Losing Game' ((Duet with Jess Roden), 'She Moves Through The Fair' (live duet with Dave Swarbick), plus many alternate takes & demo versions, with & without Fotheringay, Fairport Convention, & more. 56-color booklet with a forward by Richard Thompson plus pieces & remembrances from Jim Irvin (MOJO), Joe Boyd, John Renbourn, Linda Thompson, Pete Townshend, & more.

FLYING COLORS - Flying Colors (2012)

When your band Dream Theatre or Deep Purple takes a rest, what is a man to do? Stroke your blond hair and cradle your guitar? Trim your beard and twiddle your drum sticks? Well, no. Late in the year 2010, guitarist Steve Morse and drummer Mike Portnoy decided to start a new band. For facts’ sake, it was around this time that Portnoy and DT parted ways. But the prog-metal powerhouse and the hard rock fret flyer made for an impressive, if slightly unusual, pairing. The Flying Colors band started to stretch its wings with the addition of Neal Morse, the keyboard player from the spectactularly nerdy-named Spock’s Beard; bass player Dave LaRue; and lead vocalist Casey McPherson. In nine intensive days at the beginning of last year the album Flying Colors was finally recorded. With touches of Yes and early Genesis but with a hard rock edge, there are some superb examples of super-talented musicians and songwriters getting everything right. But this comes with a caution: Flying Colors swings violently from skilled nerdgasm-inducing prog-rock to top 40 bothering derivative euphoria, and usually back again. - geeksofdoom.com

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - Out Of The Game (2012)

After delivering the powerful, yet stripped down and subdued All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu in 2010, Wainwright returned to the studio with the intention of returning to the ornate pop of his early days. The resulting Out of the Game, which was produced by Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Duran Duran), and feature 12 new songs that the artist describes as the most "danceable" material in his repertoire to date.

Rufus says it's "the most pop album I've ever made" while Mark Ronson believes "it's the best work of my career." Influences, as ever, were all encompassing. Mark says `Out of the Game' "has a real 70's, Laurel Canyon spirit" while Rufus cites "all the greats- Elton, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, basically the brash and beautiful. It's also very Rufus." - amazon.com

LEVON HELM & THE RCO ALL STARS - Live At The Palladium NYC - New Year's Eve 1977 (2006)

In November 1976, the Band called it quits with a well-publicized Thanksgiving Day farewell concert, but Levon Helm made it clear to anyone who cared to listen he thought the group was foolish to throw in the towel, and within a year Helm was on the road with a band designed to show fans how much he had to offer. The RCO All Stars certainly lived up to their name, featuring Helm on drums and vocals, Mac Rebennack (aka Dr. John) on piano, Paul Butterfield on harmonica, Steve Cropper and Fred Carter, Jr. on guitars, Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass, and a horn section featuring Howard Johnson, Tom "Bones" Malone, Lou Marini, and Alan Rubin. While the group's sole studio album showed the supergroup's songwriting chops were not all one might hope for, they certainly had chops and swing to spare, and this live recording of the All Stars on-stage as 1977 was about to fade into 1978 in New York City testifies to their power as a live act. While Helm takes the lion's share of the vocals, he has the good sense not to hog the spotlight, with Rebennack and Butterfield singing some leads, and the musicians are in fine fettle throughout as the horn section blows up a storm, Helm's drums strut like a bantam, Rebennack's keys add rollicking color, and Cropper throws some razor-sharp solos into the mix. And while the song selection here, like on the studio album, is good but not great (the best numbers are the most recognizable covers, in particular "Good Night Irene," "Milk Cow Boogie," and the Band's "Ophelia"), playing before an enthusiastic audience the All Stars give these numbers just enough juice to make the difference. Helm obviously meant the RCO All Stars to be a band that would rock the party, and on this disc you can hear them do just that; fans of any of the acts on board will have a great time with this album. - allmusic.com

TRACKS: 01. Ain't That a Lotta Love 02. Washer Woman 03. A Mood I Was In 04. Milk Cow Boogie 05. Ties That Bind 06. Goin Back to Memphis 07. Blues So Bad 08. Born in Chicago 09. Rain Down Tears 10. Got My Mojo Working 11. Sing Sing, Sing 12. Ophelia 13. Good Night Irene

Singer and guitarist Warren Haynes has served in some of the most devoted, generation-spanning live acts of all time—The Allman Brothers band, The Dead and Gov’t Mule.

WALTER TROUT - Blues For The Modern Daze (2012)

Walter Trout is the rockin’ blues guitar master who’s been plying his craft to adoring audiences for years. Some might call him rock, and they wouldn’t be wrong, but Trout’s blues roots run deep and wide, and the electric virtuoso never misses an opportunity to show them. Blues for the Modern Daze is everything fans of Trout have come to expect — and nothing less. Trout touts his celebrated archetypal blues-rock guitar: burning, overdriven licks that run wild across fields of modern blues tracks. “In terns of subject matter,” says Trout, “the state of the world is perfect for writing blues songs.” The album reflects this sentiment, with a sort of melancholy underpinning throughout. “Lonely” is a commentary on our obsession with electronic relationships, while ignoring personal connections. “Sky is Fallin’ Down” is a duck-and-cover blues number on the end of the world. ”Blues for my Baby” is a nice, slow number with Walter’s endlessly precise blues licks as he channels the great B.B. King. The title track is particularly poignant, beginning in a country blues style open tuning, building tension and ultimately tearing into wailing vocals and stinging overdriven electric riffs. Much of the album dutifully reflects the “Modern Daze” title, both in the spirit of the blues’ progress up until now, and as the subjects of many tracks reflect the problems many of us are facing. Trout conjures up a great deal of the past, with selectively placed acoustic and Mississippi country blues stylings, while keeping the topics firmly contemporary. With most of the 15 tracks averaging 6 minutes, and the album clocking in around an hour & twelve minutes, there’s plenty of Trout to go around. - americanbluesscene.com

TRACKS: 01. Saw My Mama Cryin 02. Lonely 03. The Sky is Fallin' Down 04. Blues for my Baby 05. You Can't go Home Again 06. Recovery 07. Turn Off Your TV 08. Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous 09. Never Knew You Well 10. Puppet Master 11. Money Rules the World 12. All I Want is You 13. Brother's Keeper 14. Blues for the Modern Daze 15. Pray for Rain

LEVON HELM - Levon Helm & The RCO All-Stars (1977) & American Son (1980) [2008]

Released shortly after the unexpected comeback success of 2007's Dirt Farmer, Levon Helm And The RCO All-Stars / American Son is a two-albums-on-one-CD set that reissues Levon Helm's first two solo records. Released in 1977, Levon Helm And The RCO All-Stars maintains the loose, rangy feel of the Band's The Last Waltz sets, featuring a number of vintage old R&B and early rock-and-roll songs. American Son (1980), Helm's best known solo record, is a country-tinged collection of soulful rockers recorded in Nashville as the drummer and actor was filming a major part in the film Coal Miner's Daughter. The All-Stars were a dream aggregation of of Levon Helm's favourite musicians, including names like Mac Rebennack (aka Dr. John), Paul Butterfield, Booker T. Jones, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Steve Cropper, Tom Malone, Alan Rubin and the two old-timers Henry Glover and Fred Carter from the Hawks-period. Only one track, "Blues So Bad", was written by Levon himself. The songs, recorded partly at Shangri-La and partly at Levon's own RCO studio in Woodstock, were mostly good-time, bar-band rhythm and blues, disappointing Band fans that still were hoping for material more like the early Band albums. Levon Helm and the RCO All Stars stopped at #142 on the album chart, despite several innovative attempts to promote the album, including a mega release party and some very memorable live dates with the All-Stars.

TRACKS:
Levon Helm & The RCO All-Stars (1977) - 01. Washer Woman 02. The Tie That Binds 03. You Got Me 04. Blues So Bad 05. Sing, Sing, Sing (Let's Make A Better World) 06. Milk Cow Boogie 07. Rain Down Tears 08. A Mood I Was In 09. Havana Moon

ERIC CLAPTON - Complete Clapton (2007)

Disregard the title of this 2007 compilation: there is no way that any double-disc, 36-track set could be called The Complete Clapton, not when Eric Clapton has had a career that's spanned over four decades. This doesn't even attempt to cover as much ground as his landmark four-disc 1988 box set Crossroads, which began with his first band the Yardbirds and then followed his winding journeys through John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie, and Derek & the Dominos before settling into his solo records. Of course, The Complete Clapton covers the nearly 20 years that have elapsed since the release of Crossroads, a time frame which includes the blockbuster success of his 1992 Unpled, its all-blues 1994 follow-up From the Cradle, and many soft adult contemporary hits from the late '90s. All these phases are touched upon on The Complete Clapton, but the set lops off all of Clapton's earliest recordings, beginning with five Cream staples ("I Feel Free," "Sunshine of Your Love," "White Room," "Crossroads," "Badge") and Blind Faith's "Presence of the Lord" before delving into his solo career. This turns The Complete Clapton into a portrait of Clapton the classic rocker, as it focuses almost entirely on radio staples -- including tracks like "I've Got a Rock & Roll Heart," "Forever Man," and "It's in the Way That You Use It" that didn't make the cut on Crossroads -- that still are played frequently years after their original release. As such, this set doesn't pack many surprises, but it does hit the obvious highlights well and serves as a good hits package for the casual and curious fan, and in that sense, it works as a good companion piece to Clapton's autobiography, which was published the same week this was released in October 2007. - allmusic.com

TONY JOE WHITE - Collected (2012)

Tony Joe White is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known for his 1969 hit "Polk Salad Annie"; "Rainy Night in Georgia", which he wrote but was first made popular by Brook Benton in 1970; and "Steamy Windows", a hit for Tina Turner in 1989. "Polk Salad Annie" was also recorded by Elvis Presley and Tom Jones.

Tony Joe White has accomplished much in the years since he emerged from his home in Louisiana’s swamp country and the hardscrabble circuit of Texas honky-tonks. His music is part of America’s soundtrack – sparse and elegant, filled with shadows, sadness and beauty. Nobody else writes songs like these – songs that evoke both the mysteries of the place were he was raised and the spirits that haunt us all in our most private, lonely moments. Nobody sings them like White either. That dark baritone, scarred and sweet, brings these songs to life like none other. Even so, others have memorably interpreted his songs, from Brook Benton’s unforgettable take on “Rainy Night in Georgia” in 1970 to Tina Turner’s intensely soulful rendition of “Steamy Windows.” Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Dusty Springfield, Etta James – iconic artists in their own right have honored “the Swamp Fox” by cutting his tunes. Others have joined White, with Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Michael McDonald, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne among those who have paid tribute as guests on recent, theme-oriented projects such as The Heroines and Uncovered.

GOOD, PINSENT & KEELOR - Down And Out In Upalong (2012)

It doesn't get any more Canadian than this, an unlikely collaboration among one of the country's most beloved actors, Gordon Pinsent, and two of its most beloved musicians, Blue Rodeo's Greg Keelor and the Sadies' Travis Good. It began with Pinsent reciting his poetry for a documentary film on his life, and the idea sprouted to set some of that work to music. With Keelor and Good adapting it to the kind of hazy acoustic sounds fans of Keelor's solo albums will recognize, Down & Out in UpAlong plays like a visit to those grizzled uncles your parents preferred you stayed away from. Pinsent's words vividly evoke memories of his Newfoundland youth, especially "Shadows in the Sun" and "Peter Easton," but there's also room made for Good to inject some downhome picking, as on rollicking instrumental "Super Chicken." As a raconteur, Pinsent has few peers in Canada, and Down & Out in Upalong proves that he can hold his own in the music world as well.

TRACKS: 01. Upalong 02. She's Gone Again 03. Desperate Thing 04. Peter Eastern 05. Let Go 06. Easy Ridge 07. Old Part Of Town 08. Super Chicken 09. Night Light 10. Seagrass 11. Shadows In The Sun

JOHN GRANT - Queen Of Denmark (2010)

John Grant used to front the Czars, whose failure to translate acclaim into sales no doubt further fuelled his supersized self-loathing. However, after descending into a personal hell of booze, drugs and giving up music for waiting tables, the Coloradan has emerged with a colossus. Backed by superfans Midlake, these are songs of impossible love, near-suicide and redemption, with an air of vastness and contemplation recalling Dennis Wilson's masterpiece, Pacific Ocean Blue. With pianos and flutes, songs such as I Wanna Go to Marz and Where Dreams Go to Die combine a surreal, David Lynch, sideways look at capitalist America with choruses most artists could only dream about. The jauntier Silver Platter Club and JC Hates Faggots brutally poke fun at rich jocks and Grant's time as a gay child in a religious household respectively. But the emotionally wringing ballads – the witheringly honest Queen of Denmark and Jeff Buckleyesque Caramel – most sest a man whose time has come.

TRACKS: 01. TC And Honeybear 02. Marz 03. Where Dreams Go To Die 04. Sigourney Weaver 05. Chicken Bone 06. Silver Platter Club 07. It's Easier 08. Outer Space 09. JC Hates Faggots 10. Caramel 11. Leopard And Lamb 12. Queen Of Denmark

JOHN McVIE'S ''GOTTA BAND'' WITH LOLA THOMAS - S/T (1992)

This is the first and only solo album of McVie's. McVie is of course the bassist and fouding member of Fleetwood Mac. He's very underrated because of his humble personality, however he's obviously one of the best bassists this world has seen. He has been called "the best blues bassist in all of music." He has an amazing tone, and he purposely stays in the background supporting the vocalist(s). This album also marks the first time we hear McVie sing, however it is only backing vocals. Singing and playing bass at the same time is no easy task. McVie sang once with Fleetwood Mac, which was background on "Say You Love Me" on The Dance album. Though Lola Thomas is clearly unknown, she is a fine vocalist. If you're a bassist, or simply a fan of Fleetwood Mac, this album is certainly a good buy. It hasn't been reissued, and I doubt it will be. This album is extremely rare. - amazon.com

John McVie's "Gotta Band" with Lola Thomas is the only solo album to date by the British Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie, released in 1992. American singer Lola Thomas provided vocals throughout, backed by McVie and a crew of session musicians including Fleetwood Mac guitarist Billy Burnette and former Rolling Stone Mick Taylor.

TRACKS: 01. Evidence 02. Now I Know 03. Lost What You Had 04. Shot Down By Love 05. Step Aside 06. You Left Me Lonely 07. The Bigger The Love 08. All That I Was Guilty Of... 09. One More Time With Feeling 10. The Way I Do

LEVON HELM - Electric Dirt (2009)

Not that anyone's keeping score, but as Band alumni records go, Levon is pulling way ahead of the pack with his second keeper in as many tries in the '00s. ELECTRIC DIRT finds the Arkansas legend building on its critically acclaimed predecessor, DIRT FARMER, and bringing the democratic ebullience of his weekly Midnight Ramble live sessions (held in his barn) to record. Ramble stalwarts Larry Campbell and Amy Helm (Levon's daughter) appear all over the album (Campbell as producer and multi-instrumentalist; Amy Helm providing genetically in tune harmonies), while a loose, New Orleans vibe pervades courtesy of Allen Toussaint's horn arrangements (covers of the Grateful Dead's "Tennessee Jed", Randy Newman's "Kingfish" and other album standouts). The album, naturally, belongs to Helm, who is in stunningly assured vocal form (remarkable for a throat cancer survivor) and whose slack rustic groove remains irresistible (who else can make a mandolin sound like funk instrument). Helm--never considered one of the Band's chief songwriters--reveals his songcraft chops with ELECTRIC DIRT'S emotional centerpiece, "Growing Trade," an instant classic co-written with Campbell that rates with the Band's best. - cduniverse.com

TRACKS: 01. Tennessee Jed 02. Move Along Train 03. Growing Trade 04. Golden Bird 05. Stuff You Gotta Watch 06. White Dove 07. King Fish 08. You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had 09. When I Go Away 10. Heaven's Pearls 11. I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free

LEVON HELM - The Midnight Ramble Sessions, Vol. 1 & 2 (2005)

Mark Lavon "Levon" Helm, is an American rock multi-instrumentalist and actor who achieved fame as the drummer and frequent lead and backing vocalist for The Band. Helm is known for his deeply soulful, country-accented voice, and creative drumming style highlighted on many of The Band's recordings, such as "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek", "Ophelia" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". His 2007 comeback album Dirt Farmer earned the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album in February 2008, and in November of that year, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #91 in the list of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. In 2010, Electric Dirt, his 2009 follow-up to Dirt Farmer, won the first ever Grammy Award for Best Americana Album, an inaugural category in 2010. In 2011, his live album Ramble at the Ryman was nominated for the Grammy in the same category and won.

Levon Helm passed peacefully this afternoon. He was surrounded by family, friends and band mates and will be remembered by all he touched as a brilliant musician and a beautiful soul.



Heroic blues and R&B jams direct from Band drummer Levon Helm’s Woodstock digs. Heroic, because the iconic, gravely voiced Helm was fighting his way back from throat cancer and these sessions chronicle his strles and successes. Guest vocalists add stylistic variety, and Dr. John’s appearance on “Borrowed Time” is a knockout. You could do a lot worse that sitting around this barn, having a few drinks and reveling in the vibes that helped to shape American music from the 60s on. Store bought copies have DVDs. Of course, after the Ramble Sessions, Helm went on to record his first solo album in 25 years, the acclaimed Dirt Farmer (followed by Electric Dirt). Much of this is blues, but you’ll hear Dylan’s Basement Tapes favorite, “Don’t Ya Tell Henry,” below.

VOL 1:
01. Sad Hours 02. Oh Baby 03. I’m Ready 04. Blow, Wind, Blow 05. Blues With A Feeling 06. The New Scratch My Back 07. I Ain’t Lyin’ 08. I ‘m Crazy About You Baby 09. Boom Boom, Out Go The Lights 10. Forty Days & Forty Nights 11. I Want To Take You Downtown 12. Everything Gonna Be Alright / Wrapped Up In Love Again 13. California Blues

TED HAWKINS - The Final Tour (1998)

Ted Hawkins' story is one of the most interesting -- and tragic -- in the history of R&B. Who'd have thought that a fifty-something street singer who performed 1960s-type soul in Venice Beach, CA, would have signed with Geffen's DGC label after decades of obscurity? That's exactly what happened, but tragically, a 58-year-old Hawkins died from a diabetes-related stroke just when things were really looking up for him. Recorded live at three 1994 concerts and released in 1998, The Final Tour shows how great Hawkins was sounding during the last months of his life. Nothing slick or elaborate happens on this album -- it's just the charismatic Hawkins and his acoustic guitar, drawing on Sam Cooke's influence but always sounding like his own man. Those familiar with Hawkins' Rounder output will be familiar with heartfelt originals like "Bad Dog," "Bring It on Home Daddy," and "Revenge of Scorpio," all of which demonstrate that he was as superb a composer as he was a singer. Hawkins is equally captivating on interpretations of Brook Benton's "I Got What I Wanted" and "All I Have to Offer You Is Me," a hit for country great Charley Pride that easily lends itself to Hawkins' brand of acoustic R&B. Soul lovers who haven't experienced the joys of Hawkins' music should make a point of obtaining this magnificent album. - allmusic.com

GRAVELROAD - Psychedelta (2012)

GravelRoad are the no bullshit saviors of Mississippi Delta Blues. Want Proof? When blues great T-Model Ford was looking for a band, GravelRoad fit that bill. They play with guts, smiles, and slides and that beautiful dragging left foot on the kick pumping the pulse of too many Delta legends to mention. While their roots are deeply steeped in Delta mud, they also fearlessly explore new territory on their own. They call it Psychedelta, some call it acid blues, a heavier more evocative exploration than classic blues; it’s blues gone Donnie Darko; blues that tips it’s hat to the Flaming Lips, blues for the 21st century. - knickknackrecords.com
