The Man and His Music

by
Sam Cooke
When this 28-song compilation (two LPs/one CD) originally appeared, it was the first serious exploration of Sam Cooke's catalog ever done. What's more, a lot of care went into the selection, if not the packaging -- despite the fact that it has no annotation, or even release dates on its 28 songs, The Man and His Music is still the only ...

by
Rod Stewart
Storyteller: The Complete Anthology is a flawed but effective four-disc box set covering Rod Stewart's career from its start up through the 1980s. Although most of Stewart's biggest hits and best-known songs from his first two decades are on Storyteller, the collection is poorly paced, containing too much hesitant early material and not enough ...

Otis Redding
Otis Redding's third album, and his first fully realized album, presents his talent unfettered, his direction clear, and his confidence emboldened, with fully half the songs representing a reach that extended his musical grasp.

King Curtis
71 songs spread among three CDs, covering King Curtis's tenure at Capitol from 1962 until 1965. This wasn't the most productive period in Curtis's career, but it was his first chance to make records on more than a piecemeal basis under his own name; the result is a dazzling array of sounds and songs. Hidden among the country covers and abortive ...

Otis Redding
This is a wonderful two-disc overview of Otis Redding's brief career, and it hits most of the high points, including such classics as "Respect," "Try a Little Tenderness," "Pain in My Heart," and "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." Also included are Redding's near-definitive version of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and the gorgeous (and ...

The Ultimate Otis Redding is a single-disc economy item designed for those who only want a small sample of Otis Redding's greatness.

Eric Burdon and the Animals
Polygram Special Markets' The Best of Eric Burdon and the Animals contains a selection of ten highlights (eight on cassette) from the Animals' late-'60s recordings for MGM. At the time, these were credited to "Eric Burdon and the New Animals" instead of the Animals, which is appropriate -- this is clearly the work of a different band, one with ...

Sam Cooke
This 23-song CD stands in Sam Cooke's output roughly where those four posthumous LPs (beginning with Dock Of The Bay) stand in Otis Reddings catalog, with the major difference that Cooke's work included far fewer leftovers and sides that were justified simply by being available -- he seemed to throw a special effort into almost everything that ...

John Patton
Grant Green always brought out the best in Big John Patton. Almost any record that featured the guitarist and organist was dominated by their scintillating interplay, and it always sounded like they were trying to top each other's blistering, funky solos. Patton and Green rarely sounded better than they did on Got a Good Thing Goin', a 1966 ...
