Steve Goodman
This posthumous compilation, released on Goodman's own Red Pajamas label, spans two discs: the first highlighting his best studio cuts, with the second disc exclusively devoted to live tracks. About half of the songs are previously unreleased material or unreleased live recordings. This is probably overkill for the casual fan who just wants the ...

Fats Waller
During his 21-year recording career, Thomas "Fats" Waller waxed so many hundreds of songs that only a dedicated few have heard them all even once, let alone often enough to understand the true nature of his legacy. While longtime collectors can attest to the awesome breadth and depth of Waller's massive discography, your average citizen needs and ...

Live Wire
(2000)
more music like this
by
Steve Goodman
Recorded during a circa 1980 tour on which Goodman was accompanied by a fine four-piece band and two background singers, Live Wire nicely overcomes a hazard often resulting from such circumstances: While the band is clearly there, they're mixed low enough most of the way through that they don't interfere with Goodman's own voice and guitar. And in ...

Ray Conniff
Arranger Ray Conniff's particular brand of easy listening maintained a dedicated fan base that was similar to Mitch Miller's. As arrangers, both Conniff and Miller were never shy about covering a quality song. It didn't matter who wrote it, what decade it came from, or what style of music it was. A good song is a good song. Case in point: Both of ...

Nelson Riddle
DRG Records' 2006 two-fer CD Sing a Song with Riddle/Hey Diddle Riddle combines the most esoteric LPs in Nelson Riddle's catalog; one of them so esoteric that it never even got released the first time around. Riddle recorded both albums in 1959 for Capitol. The more unusual of the two might seem to be the first one, Sing a Song with Riddle. Here, ...

The Complete Bobby Rydell on Capitol

by
Bobby Rydell
Bobby Rydell's mid-'60s period with Capitol Records was a brief one, following a string of big hits for the Cameo label. His Capitol years might not have been considered, except that his Cameo hits have never appeared on a legitimate CD, which has resulted in a legion of frustrated fans. After all, only two of the 25 songs here made the Top 100, ...

As a label, the U.K.'s Proper does a pretty decent job of assembling a great cross-section of tracks, decent sound, and fairly annotated notes (though labels names seldom if ever appear either in liner notes or in track notations, only catalog number...hmmmm) all for a really great price. Hardcore fans of most artists will either have most or all ...

The belter moved over to Newark, NJ-based Savoy midway through the decade and continued to prosper: "Candy," "Ramblin' Blues," and the intense "Blues Early, Early" rate with her finest cuts. "Ring Dang Dilly" and "Tell Me Who" rock with the seemingly effortless swing peculiar to New York's R&B scene at the time, thanks to the presence of saxists ...

Danny Aiello
Given the track record of actors-turned-singers, it's easy to be suspicious that Danny Aiello's 2004 album I Just Wanted to Hear the Words is nothing but a vanity project, which he himself admits in the liner notes. But in those very liner notes he argues against that idea, claiming that he's been singing for years, long before he became an actor, ...
