Peggy Lee
Any compilation that properly anthologizes the chart history of Miss Peggy Lee is forced to sprint through 24 years, including a pair of decades that were the most culturally tumultuous of the 20th century. Such is the peril of attempting to summarize Lee's career by way of her hits, though for introductory purposes this disc is an excellent one ...

Peggy Lee
Except for four hit-making years for Decca in the middle of the '50s, Peggy Lee spent the balance of her career with Capitol. And though her many LPs were among the best recorded at the label, most still lay unreleased by the late '90s. Capitol rectified the situation somewhat with the release of its four-disc treatment, Miss Peggy Lee. Including ...

by
Bette Midler
Bette Midler's first songbook album focused on songs popularized by Rosemary Clooney, and it became a surprising hit after being latched onto by vocal fans as well as adult contemporary audiences. Befitting her image, the record wasn't a reverent tribute; Midler and musical partner Barry Manilow modernized the arrangements of Clooney's bigger hits ...

Released in 1988, Guitar may be the most important and ironically one of the least-known entries in Frank Zappa's voluminous discography -- which spans over seven-dozen LPs as of this writing. His proficiencies as a composer and instrumentalist have long been lauded. However, anthologies of this nature provide an outlet for the remarkable breadth ...

After releasing the '90s rock masterpiece To Bring You My Love, Polly Jean Harvey deflected the immense pressure of a follow-up by teaming with guitarist John Parish for this 1996 collaboration. Often mistakenly credited as an appearance on Parish's record (an artist who had never released a major-label solo record during his long career as a ...

by
Peggy Lee
In her prime, Peggy Lee may have been the most prominent seductress in popular music, based solely on her interpretation of "Fever." She could also sing some fairly legitimate jazz, as evidenced by her takes of "Alright, Okay, You Win" and "Why Don't You Do Right?" They are included on this well-programmed 11-tune set, which can legitimately be ...

by
Bad Company
The title of Stories Told & Untold refers to the fact that this contains some old songs, and some new -- but these aren't old recordings, mind you. Instead, it's the 1996 lineup of Bad Company, featuring Robert Hart on vocals, who also contributes several originals to the lineup as well. Those originals naturally aren't as good as the hits, but ...

Although the misleading title doesn't indicate it, Classikhan can be seen as a follow-up to the Echoes of an Era album Chaka Khan made with her all-star cast of jazz musicians in 1982. The disc is neither a best-of nor a bunch of re-recordings. Instead, it's a set of jazz standards and traditional pop that she recorded with the London Symphony ...

Fever & Other Hits is an 10-track, budget-line collection featuring a smattering of Peggy Lee's '50s and '60s hits -- "Fever," "Is That All There Is?," "Hallelujah, I Love Him So," "Alright, Okay, You Win" -- but it's far from being a definitive overview. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Like the previous volume of this admirable Ace Records series devoted to songs by the great composers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, this isn't so much a best-of survey as a representative sampling of what the pair were up to during this part of their career. There are a few sizable-to-modest-sized hits here, like Jay & the Americans' "Only in ...

Record-buying etiquette suggests that if Peggy Lee's The Singles Collection is overly long (in fact, it's a four-disc box set), The Best of the Singles Collection will then logically include all of her best recordings and become the obvious choice for listeners wishing to test the waters. That's not quite the case, however, and it's mostly due to ...

La La Land's Acetate is an imprint that knows what it likes. And what it likes, as heard in these 15 acts, 20 songs, and 60 minutes, is bands that crank up guitars and play classic riffing rock ‘n' roll! There's a lot of patron saint Johnny Thunders; it's a squalling six-string line that goes, historically, from Chuck Berry to Rolling Stones ...

Intelligent, evocative, understated, and mature are words that come to mind when describing this 1975 recording. The album is the reflection of a middle-aged woman pondering her present life while romanticizing the past, knowing full well that, in the words of the last song, "We're longing for a simpler time that never was." Written and produced ...

Michael Veitch faced a perplexing problem when he embarked on his sophomore album: How can one stand out as distinct among the plethora of singer/songwriters who populate the New England region? His response to this difficult question proved simple -- record new material live. This stripped-down approach accomplishes two things: It allows the ...

Surprised these guys are still around. I remember seeing them in 1988 at the Palomino in their home L.A., opening for the late Screaming Jay Hawkins. They had a big buzz going, playing dirty rock 'n' roll that mixed the Dolls/Heartbreakers, Stones, Stooges, Aerosmith, and AC/DC. They soon signed to Capitol and released a neutered eponymous LP in ...

On her seventh album, a varied collection of standards and novelty numbers, Ann Hampton Callaway is joined once again by jazz heavyweights: Kenny Barron on piano, Rodney Jones on guitar, Ben Wolfe on bass, and Lewis Nash (or Neal Smith) on drums. Callaway's voice falls somewhere between jazz and Broadway, which can be a liability on weighty ...
