After rushing their second album Don't Look Back, Boston took eight years to complete the album Third Stage. The long delay is even more surprising considering that their sound didn't change at all; even though only songwriter/guitarist Tom Scholz and vocalist Brad Delp remained from the original lineup, they were the ones responsible for Boston's ...
Since there was a Pure Funk and Pure Disco, it makes sense that a Pure '70s would follow. It couldn't be called "Pure Rock," since a lot of this simply doesn't rock at all -- "American Pie," anyone? However, all 20 songs on this collection (mostly culled from the Polygram vaults) reek of the '70s, and that's why this is a fun listen. Yes, it's ...
Since Tom Scholz is such a slow worker, there were only four Boston albums between the group's 1976 debut and this Greatest Hits collection in 1997. That may mean that there isn't much music to compile, as the reliance on their biggest-selling album, Boston, suggests, but that doesn't matter for most casual fans, since Greatest Hits gathers all of ...
Composer John Williams and director Steven Spielberg have long had one of the most symbiotic relationships in Hollywood. They've helped each other become the best known, most successful, and most powerful men in their respective fields. Spielberg has hired Williams to score nearly every movie he's ever made. Meanwhile, at the end of the 20th ...
The Best of 70's Supergroups is a thoroughly entertaining 14-track collection that contains a wealth of album-rock and hard rock hits, including such radio staples as "More Than A Feeling," "Evil Woman, " "Come Sail Away, " "Taking Care of Business, " "American Woman, " "Black Magic Woman, " "Green-Eyed Lady, " "Sweet Home Alabama" and "We're an ...
Following up a well-received set of Bach's Brandenburg Concerti, Martin Pearlman and the Boston Baroque have recorded his Orchestral Suites. Pearlman presents them in what is believed to be their original order of composition: starting with the less familiar No. 4 and No. 1, then No. 3 with its "Air on the G string," and, finally, No. 2. The ...
Boston is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and deservedly so. Because of the rise of disco and punk, FM rock radio seemed all but dead until the rise of acts like Boston, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen. Nearly every song on Boston's debut album could still be heard on classic rock radio decades later due to the strong vocals of Brad ...
Pops Roundup presents a Walt Disney view of the west in which soaring strings and horns evoke images from western movies rather than the actual west. The dynamic music features all-new arrangements of classic western songs as well as themes from television, films, and Broadway shows. Woodblocks create the clippity-clop of horses' hooves, and other ...
Nice collection of '70s hits, both pop and A.O.R. Features such huge hits as Boston's "More Than a Feeling," LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade," and Michael Murphey's "Wildfire." As you can see from those three highlights, the track listing is pretty diverse, perfect for listeners who want to re-create the experience of listening to the radio before it ...
The production on Boston's long-awaited fourth album, Walk On, which this time took Tom Scholz a full seven years to complete, is certainly state of the art and is overflowing with detail. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
