Original Soundtrack
After two critically acclaimed but only moderately selling albums, los Lobos were hired to record songs for the film biography of Hispanic '50s rocker Ritchie Valens, resulting in this soundtrack album, which, in addition to eight los Lobos recordings, features tracks by Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and others. Los Lobos' remake of the title ...

The Best of Marshall Crenshaw: This Is Easy
(2000)

by
Marshall Crenshaw
Co-compiler Gary Stewart and project assistant David Gorman waste no time at all before addressing the question that has plagued rock critics and fans since 1981: "how can we rationalize the continued underappreciation of Marshall Crenshaw?" It's not just that Crenshaw is a cult favorite and critics' pet; he's also steeped in rock & roll ...

Marshall Crenshaw [Bonus Tracks]
(2000)
more music like this
by
Marshall Crenshaw
In retrospect, 1982 was a brief, exhilarating moment in between the fall of disco and the rise of MTV, when the eternal verities of real rock & roll broke through once again. The punk and new wave music of the late '70s had given way to power-pop, a return to catchy, relatively unadorned guitar rock. In that context, it was easy to see Marshall ...

Marshall Crenshaw [1982]
(1982)
more music like this
by
Marshall Crenshaw
On the cover of his self-titled LP, Marshall Crenshaw -- complete with crew-cut, thick glasses and unfashionable suit -- looks like nothing so much as the second coming of Buddy Holly, or possibly an Americanized Elvis Costello; listening to the record itself does little to alter those first impressions, and even if his subsequent LPs failed to ...

The Definitive Pop Collection
(2006)

by
Marshall Crenshaw
Once you've made the perfect pop album, it's hard to say what to do for an encore, and this is the dilemma that's dogged Marshall Crenshaw's career, at least from a commercial standpoint. Crenshaw's self-titled debut album, released in 1982, was a grand-slam collection of 12 superb songs, delivered with fresh-faced passion and sincerity and ...

For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson
(1995)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Tribute albums are difficult things to pull off at the best of times, so it's no surprise that not quite everything works on this 23-track set. Part of the problem is that Harry Nilsson wrote some amazing songs in his time -- but he also wrote some that were not quite so amazing. Another part of the problem is that some of these songs don't lend ...

Downtown
(1985)
more music like this
by
Marshall Crenshaw
Marshall Crenshaw entered the studio to begin work on his third album, Downtown, but for the first time, he was without the familiar backing of Chris Donato on bass and brother Robert Crenshaw on drums (though he does appear on two tracks). Following the dense, sonic thunder of the commercially disappointing Field Day, this album employed the ...

Life's Too Short
(1991)
more music like this
by
Marshall Crenshaw
Marshall Crenshaw entered the '90s, following his departure from Warner Bros., with a new label, his hardest rocking album to date, and hope of a rejuvenated career. Backed for the most part by the rhythm section of Kenny Aronoff (drums) and Fernando Saunders (bass), Life's Too Short adds to the muscle that Crenshaw had been building in recent ...

What's in the Bag?
(2003)
more music like this
by
Marshall Crenshaw
If you had to pick the single most dominant lyrical theme in the history of postwar pop music, it would probably be love, and on his first few albums Marshall Crenshaw wrote better songs about girls -- longing for them, and trying to win them over -- than anyone of his generation. Two decades on from his instant classic debut, Crenshaw still has ...

Marshall Crenshaw
Following his critically acclaimed 1982 debut and successful single "Someday, Someway," Marshall Crenshaw returned with the following year's greatly anticipated Field Day. Crenshaw doesn't fall prey to the sophomore jinx, delivering nine more brilliantly crafted pop/rock originals and a terrific cover of the Jive Five's "What Time Is It?" Though ...

Good Evening

Marshall Crenshaw
While Marshall Crenshaw's first two releases were self-contained efforts, built around his voice, guitar, and songwriting, and the rhythm section/backing vocals of Chris Donato and brother Robert Crenshaw, his third, Downtown, brought an assortment of studio hands on board without really sacrificing what makes him special. Following a return to a ...

Various Artists
Volume 4 of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's was for the new wave diehards -- Volume 5 is for the doubters. This is the installment for neophytes, or for the doubters who don't believe that new wave was a spectacular singles era. That doesn't mean that everything here is terrific, or every listener will like everything here, but it ...

Mary Jean & 9 Others

more music like this
by
Marshall Crenshaw
Marshall Crenshaw's first three records, though each with their own distinct personality, were an irresistible combination of masterful pop and vibrant, timeless rock & roll. His fourth effort, Mary Jean & 9 Others, has many of these same ingredients, while at the same time lacking the impact of its predecessors. And though there isn't really a ...

If you've been paying any attention at all, you know Merle Haggard ranks among the best singers country music has ever produced. What you might not realize is that he's also one of the genre's finest songwriters.

Adios Amigo: A Tribute to Arthur Alexander

Various Artists
Among musicians, Arthur Alexander was always considered one of the greatest R&B songwriters. Both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones covered his songs, "Anna (Go To Him)" and "You Better Move On" respectively, early in their careers. But they weren't the only ones -- throughout the years, his work was a rich source material for many blues, soul, ...

Marshall Crenshaw
Marshall Crenshaw's second live album, with its Henny Youngman-inspired title, is in all ways a smaller-scale affair than its predecessor, 1994's Live: My Truck Is My Home. Crenshaw is captured performing a club date at the refurbished Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, on February 16, 2001, and his format is unplugged; the instrumentation consists of ...

One Step Beyond: The Best of New Wave
(2002)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Released by Rhino's budget-line Flashback division -- so, there is packaging that leaves a lot to be desired, as well as a rather short track list -- One Step Beyond: The Best of New Wave takes a fairly arbitrary look at new wave. And, in a couple instances, it goes well outside new wave's time frame: Dramarama's "Anything, Anything (I'll Give You ...

18 New Wave Classics, Vol. 2

more music like this
by
Various Artists
Much like the first volume of the series, 18 New Wave Classics, Vol. 2 doesn't offer a wholly appropriate selection of new wave singles; it takes a few too many liberties with the style's end (around 1984), but it does still contain a mostly enjoyable selection of '80s material. Non-new wave from the Smiths ("Girlfriend in a Coma"), Erasure ( ...

Far from the collection of scraps and throw-aways its humble title would suggest, The 9 Volt Years: Battery Powered Home Demos & Curios (1979-198?) is instead a showcase for Marshall Crenshaw at his most engaging and refreshing. Whereas some of his studio LPs have suffered from overproduction, the bare-bones ambience of these 15 cuts -- home ...

Marshall Crenshaw
Crenshaw's first studio effort for the indie Razor & Tie imprint also marks a return to his earlier, stripped-down approach of his debut album. Playing most of the instruments himself (including drums), there's a far more organic feel to the tunes presented here than his last major-label efforts. In addition to solid Crenshaw pop originals like ...

Priority's Rock of the '80s series may only contain nine songs on each disc, but every volume is filled with first-rate new wave and mainstream pop songs that are well worth the price.

Our Town

Marshall Crenshaw
This release (only available in the U.K.) takes three great songs from Crenshaw's finest album Field Day and presents them in remixed versions, here trading Steve Lillywhite's punky, souped-up sound for the warmer, yet still rocking production approach of John Luongo. While the wonderfully desperate, almost manic urgency of the earlier versions is ...
