One the finest bands of players that rock music could hope to have within it's ranks...Humble Pie. Steve Marriott, Peter Frampton, Greg Ridley and Jerry Shirley. A hard rock band that could blend...
I love this CD. It brings back so many memories of when I was much younger. Those younger more carefree days of just being a kid and not having all the worries of being an adult. Too many memories...
No one loved the Beatles more. I too watched the Ed Sullivan Show in '64 and it transformed my life (I became a starving professional rock musician in the 70s and finally found a real day job)....
I always liked this CD - it was one of my favorites! I can't say there's a song on this album I don't like. My favorite, though, has to be "Chateau Lafitte 59 Boogie"! I fell in love with this band...
Other than "Fool For The City," this may be Foghat's finest all-around album. The true gem here is "Road Fever," with a classic and unrestrained Lonesome Dave performance on "Road Fever"..."I'm...
"Westies" was released a mere month after it's predecessor "Captain Fantastic" and unfortunately it shows in the rather rushed tone of the album. Major changes were in the works for Elton's band...
This was a real disappointment but it did turn up a few gems. "Billy Bones and the White Bird" was a great rocker with thundering drums, a must-have for any Elton John fan. "Island Girl" was a...
When I was 12 a friend introduced me to Rick when she played "Working Class Dog" for me on her record player. I have loved his music - and had a crush on him - ever since. All during my...
Rick Springfield, while being a good artist with lots of hit records to his credit, does not have enough powerful, memorable recorded material to fill two discs. Songs like "Carry Me Away,"...
Anderson has always tried to re-invent his sound. BUT, with this one the style was so different borderline,Broadway musical ,almost silly. The playing is great,when the other guys are allowed to...
>Lay off....I simply can't understand why people get on Ian for writing something a little lighter than was usual after yelling at him for confusing them with "A Passion Play".
When I first heard "Horse With No Name", of course the music of Neil Young sprang immediately to mind. And why not? Neil's vocal influence is clear and present, as are the CSN harmonies.
Though America may draw you in with instantly accessable pop/folk don't be fooled, this is just a sad imitation of Neil Young. When America was ripping him off Neil was making some of the best...
The ARS was never as popular as the Allmans, Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, or the Outlaws, but they made some real good music. A bit more pop-oriented than the others, and this one...
ARS had a run of about 5 recordings in the mid '70's that were some of the most exciting stuff being done this side of the Allman Brothers. This record was released with great expectations and it...
A pretty good debut for the band, but not among their best releases. Yet, MAGIC CHRISTIAN MUSIC was just putting their toe in the water. Songs like CRIMSON SHIP, MIDNIGHT SUN, and possibly...
Good debut from Mal Evan's (Beatles roadie's) discovery. Actually this is a compilation of the Iveys album and the then current soundtrack to the Peter Sellers film of the same name. Good stuff for...
The Band provided a new model for rock music with Big Pink. They combined what they learned from working with Dylan with their own take on Americana (even though they were mostly Canadians) to come...
I really wanted to like this CD because I'm a big fan of Robbie Robertson but I just couldn't. The music is too dated. I bought this CD because I had a flash of nostalgia for The Band. Big...
Ah, the brown album. There is so much one could say about this utterly perfect album. It lyrics conjure visions of lonely country sides, and brisk cold winds. It's music defies categorization. It's...
I just never really got these guys. I remember when they hit the scene and everybody when banannas about the purity of the music and the "back to basics" stuff. Yeah I know that Dylan loved them...
Some of the music and sentiments are a little too corny and pat, but overall this is an amazing effort. There's really nothing else like this from that era, with the possible exception of "Will The...
Don't be tricked by the title and the familiar cover design. This is not the entire original recording. Up on Cripple Creek, one of the best cuts on the original album, is missing from this one....
There are some very pretty songs on this album but an incredible sadness comes through it all. I think the Band were in a bad period when they made this -- all three lead singers were shooting...
THIS ALBUM IS RECOMMENDED FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS.....ON ROCK OF AGES I BELIEVE ONLY ONE OF THEIR ORIGINAL SONGS OFFERED HERE TURNS UP. Robbie, Rick, Richard, Garth, and Levon played something...
While I grew up on Dylan, Hendrix, The Stones, Janis et al. I had the very rare privelege of missing out on the Band during the 60s & 70s. I was quite aware of their albums but never got round to...
Unless one considers "Planet Waves," Dylan's 1974 studio album with the Band playing backup, to be a Band album, "Cahoots" has no competition for the title of the worst Band album ever. Yes, the...
I can't believe what an idiot I am. I overlooked this album from one of my favorite bands, THE Band because I figured it was late in their career and the magic was gone. All I can say now is that...
Islands was the Band's last studio album released in 1976. Reading through the liner notes on the new remastered cd, one finds out that this wasn't supposed to be taken as an album proper as it was...
AS CREAM HAD GOODBYE THE HAWKS HAVE ISLANDS...the very name and photos on back and front cover also implying a huge gap betWEen Robbie and the 4 who would go on to tour and record together as The...
I think the fact that the average rating for this album is 4 stars is a bit of an inflation. Don't get me wrong, I own all their recordings and love The Band just as much as anybody else, but this...
I think this CD is a good example of the famous Jeff Beck tone. I recommend it to those who want to dive into that world of guitar tone and having a whole album contain material that makes you...
While Jeff Beck's offering here as well as his "virtuosity" have been touted by many realms of guitar aficionadom, I can't really say that the album here (or really much of his work) represents the...
The first super band althou that is not realy true,it should be THE CREAM,but with two thirds of Cream,completed with Steve Winwood(Spencer Davies,Traffic)and Rick Grech(Spooky Tooght).Ginger Baker...
Blind Faith's first and last album, more than 30 years old and counting, remains one of the jewels of the Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, and Ginger Baker catalogs, despite the crash-and-burn history...
David Bowie never stays with one musical style for very long; however, I think this may be the first time he has revisited a previous approach. His interest in R&B/dance music began with the Young...
Definitely listenable and worth picking up, but it was all downhill from here....
This was actually the first Bowie album I ever bought (!), and I still like it, despite listening to his much more adventurous and creative music that preceeded this album. This was Bowie's...
David Bowie always walked a thin line between commercially acceptable and just plain commercial. This is the first time he fell off and became just plain commercial. A disco-esque record, it's...
Listening to this album brings back those long lost days of youth and, like a fine wine, leaves a silky, if somewhat bittersweet, finish on my memory's tastebuds.
This is a somewhat disappointing follow-up to Browne's superior first album, and not as good as his third, Late for the Sky. If you don't have those 2, I would start there first. Half the songs...
this is my favorite album of all time!!! JB has a wisdom and an established sense of self even at such a young age. There is not a bad song on this album...especially insightful is Looking Into...
So Jackson, who was clearly listening to a lot of Bob Dylan records at the time, decided he wanted to be like a certain critically acclaimed, commercially successful living legend/cynical street...
a good start, but not as powerful as what was soon to come
Jackson Browne's fans typically claim his debut album to be a masterpiece, more or less at the same level as "Late For The Sky". In actuality though, it's quite a way off from that level....
It's decent, but much like Browne's career it all sounds the same
Most fans laud this as Browne's masterpiece, but I'll take The Pretender instead, thank you very much. Like most of Jackson's other albums, this is a mellow soft-rock album that concerns death,...
I owned this album on vinyl when I was in college back in the 1970s, and haven't thought about it much since then. Recently I overheard a co-worker playing it in her office and I sat down to...
Great Album from a great artist. Highlights include The Title Track , "Rosie " , " Nothin' But Time " , " The Load Out / Stay ", " Love Needs a Heart " and " Cocaine " . I reccommend the DVD Audio...
A great introduction to Jackson Browne, if not an accurate one
First things first: "Running On Empty" and "The Load-Out / Stay" are probably deserving of their ubiquity on classic-rock radio. They're the closest this record comes to the standards Browne set on...
This album may have sounded great back in 1978, but 20 years later it clearly has not aged well. To hear Jackson Browne sing the line "that's a big 10-4/from your back door" is downright painful....
This album is best described as his early quirky days as a solo artist. I only bought this album for the hit song from 1981 "Trouble". I'm looking forward in buying his latest CD "Gift of Screws"....
I admit that I originally bought this cd for the song"TROUBLE" After jumping through the other tracks I always would return to the fore mentioned song. It took me a while but I finally dared...
I remember when Trouble came out, I thought it was such a great song- then I got Law And Order- what a mess! This is something Lindsey should have made for his friends- as exoerimental as some of...
