Let It Bleedby: Rolling Stones October 23, 2002 Best Selling > Music > Oldies |
||
|
This album, like Black and Blue, saw the Stones effectively reduced to a 4-piece. Keith has to work that much harder and it shows in some strong songs.
"Gimmie Shelter" is not only, in my opinion, the best Stones song ever, but also one of the best songs ever. It is simply stunning. "Love In Vain" has a nice feel to it, although I rarely warm to Stones covers (apart from the adolescent charm of the early covers on their first and third albums). "Country Honk" is an uptempo country track that feels right and not contrived, while "Live With Me" showed the Stones with a snarl and contempt that was was still convincing when they were in their mid 20's. "Let It Bleed" is another great track and was written in the period when Jagger's lyrics ... Read More: >>More Details |

"21 today"-A great mix of rockers and ballads. Cliff and the Shads or Cliff with the orchestra. "Forty days" is a great Chuck Berry song, which just belts along. "Tough enough" and "Shame on you" recreate the "Me and my Shadows" feel. The ballads seem stronger than on the previous album ("Listen to Cliff!"). "50 tears for every kiss" "The night is so lonely" "A mighty lonely man"(superb), "How wonderful to know" and "Outsider" could have all been released as singles. "Catch me" is very evocative of the early 60's. All in all, a lovely little album this...giving Cliff his first chart-topping album and deservedly so. "32 minutes ... Read More: >>More Details |

This compilation presents a foot-tapping set of Cliff's rock n roll work from the 50s and 60s. It mainly contains studio recordings, most of which I'd expect serious Cliff fans to own already, but there are three live tracks that make this CD worth getting: That'll Be The Day, Oh Boy Medley, and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On. The live tracks really put you in the period, with Cliff and band playing over hysterically screaming fans. However, the live tracks are scattered through the play list, giving the listener bursts of 50s Cliff hysteria, when really it would work better if the live tracks were together in sequence. The inclusion of Elvis numbers gives a nod to Cliff's early British Elvis ambitions.
Overall I'd say this is a good basic primer ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Singles Collection: The London Yearsby: Rolling Stones November 01, 2002 Best Selling > Music > Oldies |

This fabulous and very reasonably priced collection contains all The Rolling Stones' Decca (UK) and London (USA) single A- and B-sides. If they originally appeared on 45 in mono (the vast majority) they're in mono here - apart from Honky Tonk Women for some reason. The 2002 remasters finally do justice to this material on CD - they sound fabulous.
The 60s A-sides (with the arguable exception of their debut, Come On) are uniformly brilliant, surprisingly varied and superbly produced, especially after they began recording in the USA; the B-sides, with only 1 or 2 exceptions, are good to excellent. There is surprisingly little overlap with albums (especially UK ones) and where there is, several tracks are in otherwise unobtainable mono. Really, until ... Read More: >>More Details |

Love Songsby: Cliff Richard June 15, 1981 Best Selling > Music > Oldies |

I was looking for Cliff's version of Twelfth of Never in my very old LP collection and found this - it proved to be nostalgic for some classics which don't turn up any more on his compilation albums.

I read great things about 'Born To Be With You' and, in truth, this is Phil Spector's triumph rather than Dion's, ironic given the large as life promotion of the singer on the cover. Dion shows what a good voice he has, but it's the updated 'wall of sound' that catches the attention. I would comment too that in all of this, the songs themselves seem to have been forgotten. The title track is an over-reverential take on an old song. Dave Edmunds also recorded this at around the same time. He was going through his Spector imitation phase, and while his brand was inferior, he made a better version because he didn't forget the power of the song as it was intended to be performed.
'Make The Woman Love Me' is a much better recording, but the remaining songs are generally ... Read More: >>More Details |

12 X 5by: The Rolling Stones May 17, 1999 Best Selling > Music > Oldies |

This album of early stones songs played live is one for any stones fans collection. Songs like time is on my side remind us of the early blues which were the rolling stones. The beautiful songs on this album are performed superbly and keith richards shows his genius even at this early age. It is a wonder to behold and a great, tight album with no bad songs.

Not many could make such a potentially depressing string of material so memorable.
As an early interval from their Rock n' Teenage Agst rollercoaster success, the Evs took time to accompany baseman Floyd 'Lightning' Chance into the studio and tape a dozen heartrending songs, mostly from age-old traditional sources. They loved [of course]; pleaded to see mother 'before God takes her away...'; were 'a long time gone'. They pondered over 'an old mother....rocking alone...', then sang of "That Silver Haired Daddy..."....and even of the murdered Rose Connolly.... But nothing...nothing breaks your heart more than "Put My Little Shoes Away". As it fades, to end the whole affair, you just want to play it all over again. Because it's just beautiful.... An early girl friend ... Read More: >>More Details |

...and only the true Elvis-ologist will be able to endure every minute of it. (Note: I'm writing this at the end of a working week in which I committed myself to playing a disc per day). At first it was only his interpretation that had obviously declined since the early '60s - as a fellow musician once remarked, it was now "all power, not enough sensitivity". But by 1975 he sounded ready for retirement - over-dramatised versions of "Hurt" and "Unchained Melody" can't conceal the loss of pitch-accuracy. Another problem is his choice of material - it may have been more "personal" to him than before, but does that make it any more attractive to the rest of us? Each disc is overburdened with self-pitying country ballads - and how many tear-in-my-beer songs does the ... Read More: >>More Details |
