The Sisters Are Back Together Again!

+ The shape of things to come........

Well it's 1977,Saturday Night Fever is out and the disco era is in full swing. On their second time around the Sledge's have jumped ship to the Munich scene,but it's not Giorgio Moroder and Pete Ballotte;they've hooked up with producers Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay,who was also the keyboard ...

Arif Mardin

Wounded Bird Records, 2008

Arif Mardin:A Too Often Undiscovered Talent

+ jazzman

If you'll excuse the fractured metaphore Arif's 'Journey' has aged like fine wine,not fine cheese. Yes-this is the same Arif Mardin who gave Chaka Khan the otherworldy production on her classic albums Chaka,Naughty and What Cha' Gonna Do for Me several years later. But in 1975 Arif was up in the ...
  
  











  



  
Everything's Ok21 reviews
Al Green

Blue Note Records, 2005

GREAT SOUL ALBUM

+ R. Kelly's Collaboration Would Help
+ Great to hear him again

Al Green returns with one of the best soul albums I heard in a long time. His voice sounds like it is still the seventies and the music is beautiful. His version of You Are So Beautiful grips to me and Green makes it his own. Magic Road is a great song that has some funk in it. This is a true soul ...
  
  











  



  
The Sisters2 reviews
Sister Sledge

Wounded Bird Records, 2007

The Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves!

The year is 1982 and after being produced by Chic then Narada Michael Walden the Sledge's decide to give a stab at the production themselves. The result is this very soulful album that,for the date is very strong based in late 70's funk-pop and even makes a go of the gestating hip-hop movement with ...
  
  











  



  
Love Somebody Today13 reviews
Sister Sledge

Wounded Bird Records, 2007

I'm so glad this has been reissued

+ The Sisters Reaching Their Peak?Doubt It
+ A childhood favorite

Sometimes good things come to those who wait. I was so glad to see that this had been recently reissued and quickly ordered a copy. The previous version is still on sale here somewhere for $49.99. That might sound like a lot but believe it or not, it was once selling for $99.99. This was the ...

Pacific Ocean Blue - Legacy Edition43 reviews
Dennis Wilson

Sony Legacy, 2008

Pacific Ocean Blue is a gem

+ Great music

This album is much better than I expected. The melodies, harmonies, and production techniques exhibit Wilson's immense talent. I found the music very relaxing and enjoyable. I recommend this to people with an open mind about music.
  
  











  



  
Bow Wow1 review
Johnny "Guitar" Watson

Shout Factory, 2006

one of his best

Johnny Guitar Watson's last (and one of his best) albums. Released in 1994, right before he died onstage during a concert in Yokohama, Japan, of a heart attack. This CD runs the gamut from funk, soul, and blues, and is one of the best albums Johnny made from beginning to end. The recent copy I ...
  
  











  



  
Zawinul3 reviews
Joe Zawinul

Mosaic Contemporary, 2007

Zawinul: the real explorer

+ World Music Visionary

Don't believe the critics. This record is wonderful. Music for earth and other elements, for the cosmos and the universe. Zawinul is a genius. He's also one of the most important musician of all the time of humanity. This is the truth.
  
  











  



  
When the Boys Meet the Girls3 reviews
Sister Sledge

Wounded Bird, 2007

Best of Latter Period Sledge

+ Do you remember me...
+ Still Family

Right up there with "All American Girls," the hooks on the track, "When the Boys Meet The Girls" (along with some of the best call-response arrangemnts ever) are the best of their career. This Niles Rodgers produced album is a long time coming in being available on CD!!
  
  











  



  
Old Socks, New Shoes...New Socks, Old Shoes3 reviews
The Jazz Crusaders

Verve, 2008

Their best album

+ New Socks?Old Shoes?Who Cares:This Is Great!
+ One of My First Albums and STILL One Of My Favorites

Back in the day, they were the Jazz Crusaders. Then, I suppose, to broaden their appeal, they became the Crusaders. Call them what you wish, but this was among the best music they ever made. Joe Sample, Wilton Felder, Wayne Henderson and Stix Hooper made some bold, brassy music. The Crusaders ...
  
  











  



  
Circle of Love2 reviews
Sister Sledge

Wounded Bird Records, 2007

Once A Family,Always A Family!

+ Yes!

In 1975 these teenaged sisters cut this album. Kathy,Debbie,Kim and Joni sure have their sisterly harmonies down pat,and they know just what to do with their voices. The music on this album is definately rooted in early-mid 70's Philly soul and Motown The title track is a superb example-upbeat and ...

I Sing the Body Electric16 reviews
Weather Report

Sony, 1990

I love this album...you might not

+ A beginning and an end
+ This my favorite Weather Report Album

Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul were arguably the two geniuses most responsible for Miles Davis's development from the mid-sixties into his electric period that revolutionized jazz in the seventies. Shorter constantly pushed the music forward with his adventurous compositions for Davis's "second ...
