Tom Waits
At this stage of the game, any new Tom Waits record is an event. Listening through the music of his entire career is daunting, to say the least, but it's a journey no one else, with the possible exception of Bob Dylan, has taken before. If one listens to the official recordings, from 1973's Closing Time, featuring the songs of an itinerant Beat ...

Robert Plant & The Honeydrippers
A telling thing about Robert Plant at his peak is how he would sneak on-stage with Rockpile and sing Elvis songs, or how Swan Song signed Dave Edmunds when his retro-rock was about the furthest thing from the monolithic Zeppelin of Physical Graffiti. Plant always harbored deep, abiding love for early rock & roll, a fact that was often obscured by ...

by
Iggy Pop
With New Values and Soldier, not to mention plenty of touring, Iggy Pop proved that if he wasn't the most stable man in rock & roll, he wasn't the burned-out waste case who hit the skids after the collapse of the Stooges, either. In 1981, both Iggy and his record company wanted him to deliver a hit, and Party was a typically eccentric attempt on ...

by
Various Artists
The automobile became a dominant force in post-World War II culture in America, and along with the primary transfer of goods moving from trains to trucks, being "on the road" became a metaphor for a state of mind, a kind of transitional freedom. What one drove became a huge part of one's individual definition of self. So it comes as no surprise ...

It's Only Love 1955-1959 follows the pattern of JCI's It's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years. These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these ...

Iggy Pop
Pop Music is an inconsistent compilation from an inconsistent era -- namely 1979 through 1981. During those three years, Iggy only recorded a handful of good songs, and while it stands to reason that a collection would be able to present all of those cuts in one strong record, Pop Music isn't it. There are a handful of classics here, particularly ...

It's pretty hard to argue with the title on the strength of this definitive collection of 30 tracks released on four local labels from 1956-1964. Cookie & the Cupcakes were also a definitive regional band -- their two minor hits showed up on the national pop (but not R&B) charts, which shows they had plenty of appeal to white teenagers in ...

Lip-locking radio staples like "Love Is All Around" (Troggs), "When a Man Loves a Woman" (Percy Sledge), and "Happy Together" (Turtles) are applied liberally among more obscure sentimental favorites such as "I (Who Have Nothing)" by Ben E. King. However ...
