Spotlight Kid, the/Clear Spotby: Captain Beefheart December 03, 1990 Best Selling > Music > Blues |

I wondered why these two albums had been packaged on one cd. Now I know: they complement each other so well. Now, depending where you get your information from, the albums have either been placed in reverse chronological order, or they haven't. I don't really care. It doesn't really matter. Nevertheless, I listened to The Spotlight Kid a few times first.
Yes, The Spotlight Kid is quite bluesy (for want of a better word). It's slower and less manic than Safe As Milk, and way, way, way less complicated than Trout Mask Replica. That's not a bad thing though. This time around you can listen to the Captain actually sing once again! He's still about as madcap as you can be, but you don't have to twist your mind into unfeasible shapes ... Read More: >>More Details |

How come all this extra stuff has sat in boxes in some
darkened cupboard for the last 35 years ??? It's not as though the original LP had no spare space. Well anyone thinking of dabbling with drugs should listen to this. I'm not an advocate of putting out anything and everything that an artist ever recorded but this 2CD set is a real education. There is everything here from truely stellar brilliance to slow and dull mediocrity ; fortunately much more of the former. All these years later we are reminded of what a talent PFK was but how he squandered his talents. A very tragic tale. >>More Details |

A beautiful mixture of music from Mali, the most recognisable African music,and the superb guitar of Ry Cooder. If you only listen to one track try track 5, Amandrai. Put a do not disturb sign on your door, Turn off the lights, sit back and be smothered in the lovely slow and smooth playing. Any music lover cannot fail to enjoy it. Also try Niafunke and The River also by Ali Faka Toure >>More Details |

With respect to my fellow reviewer, this album is not really fifties blues. It was recorded in the mid-sixties and was, as other reviews describe, a fine contemporary work. And, had it been recorded this year, it would still sound current. It has a vitality and presence which passes the test of time with honours. And so, it is blues - very good blues - which does not need to be slotted into a specific era.
What a band! Four brilliant musicians at the top of their game. Has there ever been a finer drummer in blues than Fred Below? Jack Myers was a very influential bassist with a fresh approach to a classic form; Buddy Guy was in excellent form on these sessions; and Junior Wells leads them to many peaks throughout the album. He is 'his own ... Read More: >>More Details |

Back in the dark days of the early 1970s, as a callow youth just having started college, and already set in my musical tastes (basically Bowie and nothing else), I roundly poopooed my younger brother's propensity for what I thought was plain "Weird" Music (Van Der Graaf Generator, Colosseum, The Groundhogs et al), whilst at the same time sneaking a listen whenever he wasn't around.
What was I thinking of? With the benefits of age, experience and a solid burst of nostalgia, also via the fantastic medium of Compact Audio Disc, I have revisited all the old haunts of my youth (in a musical respect), and have been surprisingly delighted by the quality of the work passing through my ears. None better than The Groundhogs, in actual fact. ... Read More: >>More Details |

In spite of an atrocious version of Oh no not my baby the Manfreds made important music.They would receive publishers demos of all the new Dylan songs becaue Dylan rated them.
Doo Wah Diddy Diddy was I suppose the comedy side of a group who had started as The Mann Hugg Blues Brothers but they topped the U S chart with this one and it made more sense than their cover of Maxine Brown's uptown soul song. Spltting into other factions like Paul Jones' solo career the Earth Band and McGuiness Flint made sure that Manfred Mann was never forgotten. Though Manfred was not the singer another South African scored in the 70s -John Kongos-who was a singer It was I suppose a first time for a big selling band to replace its original singer and still ...

this is GENIUS. I know it seems hard to get into but it's not really. Once you, yes dare i say it, 'get it' then you will listen to hard zappa, varese, meshuggah, like it was abba. but that is to take away from this slice of magnificent music. listen, I'm just sparing you my brothers review which will, like other reviews, indicate this as the best album ever made. For those that have difficulty on these pages, grow up. and if you want to sing along, buy clear spot.
I wanted to be cool and say i have a captain beefheart album and be cool but not actually like the music etc >>More Details |

What can I say about Volume One of the Nuggets compilation that hasn't already been said, this album after all is still one of the most important purchases I have ever made.
The cheap price tag of this collection on its own is quite frankly daft, but with the array of quality songs from relatively unknown bands being quite literally immense on this compilation, as a starting point you can't really do much better. So in short, you have no excuse, you need to have this compilation in your collection now. Originally compiled and released in 1972 on the Sire Record label, by Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman with help from Lenny Kaye, Nuggets is a superb gateway to the 1960's Psychedelic and Garage scenes. I play at least 5 songs from this ... Read More: >>More Details |
