Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)
(1966)

by
The Rolling Stones
The first hits compilation of the Rolling Stones is still one of the most potent collections of singles that one can find. Listening to it in 1966 or today, one can understand how, almost prematurely for the 1960s -- as most of the material here dates from 1964 or 1965 -- the Stones set themselves up as the decade's most visible rock & roll rebels ...

Forty Licks

by
The Rolling Stones
Forty Licks, like Elvis' 30 #1 Hits, is a career-spanning compilation that wouldn't have happened without the unprecedented, blockbuster success of Beatles 1. Where Elvis' set is hurt by the simple fact that there are too many damn Elvis comps on the market, the Rolling Stones benefit greatly from the fact that there has not been any set that ...

The Rolling Stones
The evolution from blues to rock accelerated with the Rolling Stones' second American LP. They turned soul into guitar rock for the hits "It's All Over Now" and "Time Is on My Side" (the latter of which was their first American Top Ten single). "2120 South Michigan Avenue" is a great instrumental blues-rock jam; "Around and Around" is one of their ...

Greatest Hits [Expanded]

by
Molly Hatchet
Molly Hatchet's career, for many, boils down to Flirtin' With Disaster and assorted other songs from their uneven albums. Originally released in 1990, Greatest Hits does a fine job of summarizing the highlights, and the 2001 reissue goes even further, adding three tracks that weren't on the original 12-track collection, along with liner notes from ...

Johnny Winter
The most important thing to know about this Live Bootleg Series by Johnny Winter is that these are officially released tapes by him and he produced these recordings. These are not bootlegs in the sense of the word we have used it since the 1960s. That said, on this first volume, Winter goes back into his personal archive and pulls out various ...

Gasoline Alley

by
Rod Stewart
Gasoline Alley follows the same formula of Rod Stewart's first album, intercutting contemporary covers with slightly older rock & roll and folk classics and originals written in the same vein. The difference is in execution. Stewart sounds more confident, claiming Elton John's "Country Comfort," the Small Faces' "My Way of Giving," and the Rolling ...

The Best of Rod Stewart [Mercury]
(1976)
more music like this
by
Rod Stewart
Originally released in the '70s, Mercury's The Best of Rod Stewart was expanded to a generous 18 tracks in 1998. Many of those added tracks were not proper hits -- they were album track favorites that may not have been big on the charts, but were of the consistently high quality that Rod was turning out in the early '70s. That means that this is a ...

The Chambers Brothers
The first of a handful of early live albums by the group, recorded in concert at the Ash Grove in Los Angeles and the Unicorn in Boston in 1965. The Chambers Brothers were purely an R&B outfit at the time (their psychedelic stylings being a couple of years in the future), and a good one, although they're a little bit surer on the more basic blues ...

Mercury/Chronicles' 2005 double-disc set Gold expands and rejiggers the previous best Rod Stewart double-disc set, 1992's Mercury Anthology. This 35-track compilation contains all but five of the songs from that 32-track comp -- the live cuts with the Faces have been cut out -- in nearly the same sequencing. So, anybody who already has that set, ...

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils left A&M Records in 1978, and in lieu of the obligatory best-of compilation, which would follow a little later, the label put out the double-LP live album It's Alive. By this time the lineup was an eight-piece, with lots of guitars and a full-time keyboardist (Russell Chappell) and mandolin player (Jerry Mills). The ...

The Rolling Stones
There's a certain part of the collectors market that has a fondness for box sets that recreate the original singles and EPs British Invasion bands released during the '60s. These, to put it mildly, are not designed for practical listening -- very few listeners like to load up their multi-disc player with CDs running two tracks -- but that's kind ...

Just as I Am/Still Bill

Bill Withers
Bill Withers' first two albums were arguably his best works, his most personal and unaffected music with a distinctive sound by virtue of their lean production, especially his debut, Just As I Am. At the turn of the 1960s into the 1970s, he was a unique presence, as we're reminded by this Raven Records two-LP-on-one-CD package. Withers' first ...

By the time Flirtin' with Disaster reached stores, the Hatchet were already bona fide forces to be reckoned with on the Southern rock circuit, with a fan base nearly on par with contemporaries like Skynyrd and the Allmans (who they covered on their eponymous debut LP). With a Frank Frazetta album cover that clearly sent a message that the band ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart's volume of 20th Century Masters is heavy on hits, and the songs that aren't hits are staples of Stewart's classic early-'70s repertoire. It is true that not every great song Rod recorded during this time is here -- he recorded so much great music in the first half of the '70s that it couldn't be condensed to 12 songs -- but it does ...

Concentrating on the earliest and for many best incarnation of the group, ...

The Faces earned a reputation as one of the rowdiest live acts of their day, cheerfully stopping sloppy but energetic renditions of their songs to kick soccer balls into the audience or lead booze-soaked sing-alongs. It's mystifying, then, that their only official live release, Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners, is such a lackluster mess. ...
