Read My Lips

Read My Lips (1989) more music like this

by Lou Ann Barton

Lou Ann Barton didn't have the best of luck in her early career. Incongruously signed to a major label for 1982's Old Enough, she delivered a fine debut that was utterly out of step with the times. Shunted to a tiny indie in her adopted hometown of Austin, she recorded 1986's oddly poppy Forbidden Tones, an album of John Hiatt and Beatles covers ...

Old Enough

Old Enough (1982) more music like this

by Lou Ann Barton

The debut album by Austin-based blues-rock singer Lou Ann Barton didn't sound like many major-label releases of 1982. Produced by Atlantic Records veteran Jerry Wexler (with, worryingly, some help from ex-Eagles schlockmeister Glenn Frey) and recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Old Enough is a solid piece of soulful Texas-style ...

Live! Simply the Best

Live! Simply the Best (1991) more music like this

by Irma Thomas

Irma Thomas has long been an institution in New Orleans-based R&B. This live CD is both a strong introduction to her powerful voice and a summation of her career up to 1990, mixing together remakes of some of her mid-'60s recordings with more current material. Cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd, Thomas sounds inspired and in her prime throughout ...

Mr. Jealousy

Mr. Jealousy (1998) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Luna fans (the most likely audience for this soundtrack to an obscure late-'90s comedy) will come for the otherwise unavailable tracks by their urban guitar heroes, but it's the supplemental assortment of sophisticated European pop that will hold their interest. Luna's swoony cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" is predictably magnificent, and ...

Sweet Soul Queen of New Orleans: The Irma Thomas Collection

Sweet Soul Queen of New Orleans: The Irma Thomas Collection (1996) more music like this

by Irma Thomas

This 23-track collection of early and mid-'60s sides largely duplicates the material on EMI's Time Is on My Side collection, with some additions and subtractions. The EMI set has a very slight edge, although for most listeners either compilation will do the job. It's too bad somebody doesn't take the plunge and issue an 80-minute CD documenting ...

The Well

The Well (2001) more music like this

by Jennifer Warnes

Jennifer Warnes became a household name in the '70s with her hit "Right Time of the Night" and scored equally big with the Righteous Brothers' Bill Medley on "The Time of My Life" from the film Dirty Dancing. She also wowed critics and fans alike with Famous Blue Raincoat, her album of Leonard Cohen songs. In all, she's sold over 35 million ...

Finger Poppin' and Stompin' Feet: 20 Classic Allen Toussaint Productions for Minit... (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Allen Toussaint is a giant of American popular music, but his work was primarily behind the scenes as a songwriter, producer, arranger, and sessionman. Even as a leader, his songs and recordings became better-known through interpretations and assimilations from such artists as Glen Campbell, Lowell George, and Bonnie Raitt, instead of his darkly ...

Country for True Lovers

Country for True Lovers (2003) more music like this

by Eleni Mandell

Eleni Mandell takes a different approach with this album, offering up a batch of gin-soaked, traditional honky tonk numbers that bring to mind previous singers like Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, and Patsy Cline. The introductory "Another Lonely Heart" has the singer giving a credible performance that nails each tear-at-your-heartstrings note. Greg ...

Let the Good Times Roll, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

Let the Good Times Roll, Vol. 1 is a fine sampling of 20 classic New Orleans R&B tracks.

Credit must also be given for the inclusion of ...

Lone Star: The Best of Freddy Fender (1999) more music like this

by Freddy Fender

After serving time in Louisiana's Angola Prison on a trumped-up marijuana charge, Freddy Fender hit his stride with a spate of recordings for Cajun producer Huey P. Meaux, molder of hits for the Sir Douglas Quintet, Barbara Lynn, Roy Head, and others. Although he had recorded rock & roll for Imperial Records and Spanish-language versions of rock ...

Baby (2005) more music like this

by The Detroit Cobras

While plenty of acts in the current nuevo garage universe strive to capture the lean, funky snazz of classic R&B sides, the Detroit Cobras have a different way of going about it than most -- instead of trying to write songs that sound like vintage soul tunes, they just dig up vintage soul tunes you (probably) haven't heard of and infuse 'em ...

The Minit/Instant Story (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

This 52-song collection doesn't entirely overlap EMI's Minit Records Story box set, which has a few rarities and obscure tracks, but it's a good overview of some of the best and most interesting of the label's output, and also the sheer diversity of the company's output, from the hard blues of Jessie Hill to the smooth, near-pop stylings of Allen ...

Take Care of Business: The Constellation Masters 1963-1966 (1998) more music like this

by Dee Clark

Subtitled "The Constellation Masters 1963-66," this picks up the second phase of Clark's solo career after his hit-making days at Vee-Jay. These sides find him moving in a more soulful direction, making hard Southern and Motown-inflected soul with the best of them on "Crossfire Time," "I'm Going Home," "Come Closer" and "That's My Girl." Although ...

The Toussaint Touch (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is a good if rather scattershot compilation of early Allen Toussaint productions for various artists, focusing solely on his 1960-65 work, when he was at the helm of the best rock and soul recordings to come out of New Orleans. About half of the 22 tracks are devoted to the most well-known artists in his charge, including a few well-known ...
