Steely Dan Sunday: “Glamour Profession” (1980)
Two things that became apparent to me when first hearing “Glamour Profession” at the time when Gaucho first appeared
Post Tagged with: "new release"
Garbage – Not Your Kind of People (2012)
Garbage shows it can still swirl alt-rock, post-pop and electro-dance beats in a highball glass of lip-busting attitude on this, their first album in seven years. The difference here is the band’s newfound sense of angsty consequence.
Jens Wendelboe Big Band – Fresh Heat (2012)
Jens Wendelboe is putting together some terrific stuff with his big band and Fresh Heat is the latest in what should be a regular occurrence on the jazz release calendar.
Maria Neckam – Unison (2012)
At times, jazz vocalist Maria Neckam’s music sounds like Joni Mitchell during her mid-70s jazz excursion but with a Annette Peacock stream-of-conscienceness flow and Bjork-like modern sensibility, delivered with pipes as pure as Suzanne Vega.
Paul and Linda McCartney – Ram (1971; 2012 reissue)
An overlooked precursor to the current handmade-pop phenomenon, Ram was initially criticized for everything that makes it sound unexpectedly bold, fascinatingly unedited and utterly misjudged today.
Homer – Homer (1972; 2012 reissue)
Under different circumstances, there is no doubt Homer would have been major players in the hard-rock league.
Allan Harris and Takana Miyamoto – Convergence (2012)
While many a pianist/vocalist duo has surely been influenced by the twin mid-1970s collaborations of Bill Evans and Tony Bennett, it’s another thing entirely to take those albums head on.
Bob Wayne – Till the Wheels Fall Off (2012)
There could be no better way to open Bob Wayne’s upcoming album than with the title track, “Till the Wheels Fall Off.” If you don’t know anything about Wayne going into this song, you’ll know everything you need to know about him once it’s over.
The Meldavians – Farewell Arigemon (2012)
The Meldavians represent the coming together of three major talents all out of North Carolina: vocalist and acoustic guitarist Melissa Reaves, guitarist Scott Sawyer and keyboardist Dave Fox.
Forgotten series: Message To Love: The Isle Of Wight Festival – The Movie (1995)
It hasn’t received anywhere near the same notoriety as the much better known rock festival documentaries Woodstock and Gimmie Shelter
