Robbie Robertson
Robbie Robertson was once asked why he waited 11 years after the breakup of the Band to release a solo project, and he replied, "I wasn't so sure I had something to say." One can hear a bit of this thinking in Robertson's self-titled solo debut; it's obvious that he didn't care to revisit the country- and blues-flavored roots rock that had been ...

by
Bon Jovi
From the opener, "Runaway," which rode to glory on Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band-mate Roy Bittan's distinctive keyboard riff, to the sweaty arena rock of "Get Ready," which closes the album, Bon Jovi's debut is an often-overlooked minor gem from the heyday of hair metal. The songs may be simple and the writing prone to all the clichés of the ...

System of a Down
In most cases, bands put out these odds and sods collections for die-hard fans, to fulfill a record deal, or to stall while they're taking seven years to record a follow-up. Steal This Album!, on the other hand, definitely does not fit any of those ideals. First, it's almost impossible to think of this as an "outtakes" record. System of a Down ...

by
Bruce Springsteen
For years, decades even, Bruce Springteen was legendary for the amount of recordings he did not release. Every time he cut an album, he recorded a surplus of songs and left some out, not always on the basis of quality, but often because they simply didn't suit the mood of the record. It was inevitable that dedicated fans and collectors would ...

The Mars Volta
When Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala silenced At the Drive-In in the midst of its popular emergence, there was no question that the two artists would return with new music as exciting as their previous band. However, there was plenty of discussion in corners and over drinks about what , exactly, that music would sound like. It was ...

by
Ray Stevens
The eclectic career of gospel/country/comedy artist Ray Stevens creates a big challenge for anyone attempting to make a representational "best-of" album. He jumped from genre to genre as often as he switched labels, leaving compilers with mountains of unrelated song subjects and complicated licensing issues. When the 2005 Box Set was announced, ...

Honor Among Thieves

by
Edwin McCain Band
Edwin McCain's major-label debut is more polished than his independent record, but his acoustic-based mix of folk, pop, soul, and jazz remains compelling on Honor Among Thieves. The professional production brings out the pop elements of McCain's music and, consequently, makes it more accessible. Sara Sytsma, All Music Guide

by
Eighteen Visions
Given Eighteen Visions' rather brief discography, you can't help but wonder a bit about the existence of a best-of collection. Still, either way, it's a fine album, filled to the brim with incredibly intense and anger-charged heavy metal. In fact, calling Eighteen Visions heavy metal is probably a misnomer since the group isn't your typical heavy ...

The Sound of Animals Fighting isn't so much a band as it is Equal Vision Records' version of 4AD's old in-house studio party This Mortal Coil: the band -- who appear in creepy-cute animal masks in all of their photos and use pseudonyms derived from same -- has no fixed lineup, but includes members of RX Bandits, Circa Survive, Chiodos, Days Away, ...

Local Band Does O.K.

more music like this
by
Umphrey's McGee
The material on Umphrey's McGee's first studio album, Local Band Does O.K., is progressive in the sense that -- like early Phish -- it places an emphasis on complexly interlocking, deftly executed instrumental parts. It is music that is obviously challenging to play and seems to make a point in reveling in itself, though it is decidedly not ...

Supposedly the Tom Petty Band playing surf music for their own pleasure, the Blue Stingrays keep their identities secret and have never played a show. This record, perhaps their only release (though the CD claims they put out three other, impossible-to-find records in the ?60s, which is probably as true as their claim of inventing surf music), is ...

The Lords of the New Church took the punk/new wave types of sounds and combined them with heavy metal influences into a gothic-sounding but very accessible texture. The resulting music is showcased on this compilation disc, which includes tracks from the various LONC albums and some rarities. The group did plenty of cover cuts but made them all ...

Keb Darge/Cut Chemist
It would be easy to understand rockabilly fans raising an eyebrow when the beat-obsessed blokes at BBE put together a rock & roll compilation. Surprisingly though, Lost and Found: Rockabilly and Jump Blues resurrects a host of long-lost '50s jump tunes, with precious little overlap with music that already appears on CD. The two curators, Keb Darge ...

Corporate hellcat and musical wunderkind Michelle Shocked followed up her pivotal Short Sharp Shocked (1988) with Captain Swing (1989) -- the second entry in what she planned as a trilogy.

Sleeping in Traffic, Pt. 1 is Beardfish's third album, but the Swedish outfit's first for a major progressive rock record label, namely InsideOut.

A 50-track, two-disc anthology of Lou Monte's RCA Victor recordings might seem like overkill considering that he scored only one Top Ten hit for the label.
