Paul McCartney
Released after the studied, meticulous Flowers in the Dirt, the live acoustic concert album Unplugged was a breath of fresh air, and it remains one of the most enjoyable records in McCartney's catalog. Running through a selection of oldies -- not only his own, but Beatles and rock & roll chestnuts -- McCartney is carefree and charming, making ...

Tom Jones
For many acts, the casino circuit is the kiss of death creatively, but in the case of Tom Jones the exact opposite is true -- amidst the neon lights, craps tables, and slot machines, he's at the top of his game, feeding on the energy and excitement to command the stage with a power and eroticism that are virtually unmatched. Recorded in Las Vegas ...

Ramsey Lewis
Although Ramsey Lewis' career with Chess stretched from the mid-'50s to the end of the 1960s, it was only in the mid-'60s that he made a significant dent in the pop market. Accordingly, this 18-track collection is not so much a representative sampling of his Chess output as it is a heavy dip into his most popular mid-'60s recordings. Although the ...

Elvis Presley
This four-CD set is nothing less than essential, with just a couple of important caveats to consider, mostly based on its age. Released in 1980, Elvis Aron Presley -- which is often referred to informally as "The Silver Box" -- was the first attempt at a serious boxed set devoted to Elvis Presley. In keeping with the many other "firsts" in his ...

by
Elvis Presley
The back cover of Elvis R&B -- one of six thematic Elvis comps released during 2006 -- states that this compilation could very well be called Presley's personal playlist, since he loved R&B most out of all music. This is true, since Elvis did indeed love R&B, but that doesn't mean that the 20 tracks on Elvis R&B are all R&B, even when they're R&B ...

Although all of these 25 cover versions were recorded in the '60s, none of them were released at the time. Unfortunately, info as to the exact dates of the individual tracks has been lost, though Stax scholar Rob Bowman's liner notes figure that most of them were cut between 1965-1968, with some possibly dating from 1962-1964. Putting all of them ...

Many critics and listeners think of Elvis Presley's pre-comeback, mid-'60s recording period as a creative graveyard filled with awful soundtrack songs. While he definitely did record too much soundtrack dreck during this period, Presley also managed to sneak some rock & roll gems out of the studio during the time. Most of this material was ...

Due largely to the inclusion of trumpeter Ron Haynes -- a one-time Donald Byrd protégé -- the fourth entry by Ramsey Lewis' smooth jazz supergroup is reminiscent of Byrd's seminal 1970s recordings. While merely hinting at Byrd's proto-disco inventions, Urban Knights IV is nonetheless a modern update of the trumpeter's work with the Blackbyrds. ...
