The Duprees
This 18-track compilation is missing a few songs that are on other Duprees anthologies, such as Ace's 31-track Their Complete Coed Masters, and even Rhino's 18-song The Best of the Duprees. Where this has a possible edge on the competition is the inclusion of three late-'60s songs from Heritage singles, where the other comps include only 1962-1964 ...

Agent Provocateur
(1984)
more music like this
by
Foreigner
It took Foreigner three years to release a follow-up to its 1981 blockbuster, 4. Perhaps that wait wasn't long enough, because Agent Provocateur is a prime example of the best and worst traits of AOR: a handful of remarkable songs padded by toothless filler. Despite contributing a few killer riffs to Foreigner's '70s canon, guitarist/keyboardist ...

by
LL Cool J
Released at a time when hip-hop's anxieties about crossover success were at a fever pitch, Walking With a Panther found LL Cool J trying to reinvent his sound while building on the commercial breakthrough of Bigger and Deffer. Even though the album succeeded on both counts, it did so in a way that didn't sit well with hip-hop purists, who began to ...

by
Engelbert Humperdinck
Hip-O's sprawling 44-track Gold compilation may be more Engelbert Humperdinck than most folks can handle, but it's as definitive a collection as one could hope for. The legendary crooner was blessed with one of the smoothest sets of pipes to ever wrap themselves around a ballad, and Gold has plenty of slow dances to offer, including "Release Me," ...

by
Hank Williams
A real treat for Hank-o-philes who really drooled over the few gritty demo recordings that appeared on the extensive box set The Complete of Hank Williams. Leading off with the previously unreleased "Tennesee Border," ten of the 18 cuts here come from early '49 appearances on Shreveport, Louisiana's KWKH; and the rest are demo recordings made to ...

Moments to Remember: The Golden Hits of the 50's and 60's
(2006)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Shout Factory's three-disc set of vocal pop hits from the '50s (and early '60s) is a valuable collection, both because it includes a wealth of chart-toppers and because it unearths quite a few of the nuggets that rarely make it to anthologies of this sort. As a summation of '50s pop, it's an excellent overview, providing an extended look at the ...

Robert Goulet
Two of Robert Goulet's best early albums, My Love Forgive Me and Sincerely Yours, were combined on this single-CD reissue by Collectables. Although the sound and the packaging could be a little better, this still is a fine way for collectors to pick up these two records on disc. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

The Gene Ammons Story: Gentle Jug

more music like this
by
Gene Ammons
This single CD reissues the two-LP set of the same name. Included are two sessions originally cut for Prestige's subsidiary Moodsville (Nice an' Cool and The Soulful Mood of Gene Ammons), which are purposely relaxed and strictly at ballad tempos. Fortunately, Ammons (who had a distinctive, huge tone) was long a master at interpreting ballads, and ...

Dick Haymes
In 1955, Capitol Records signed Dick Haymes and attempted to do for him what it had done for Frank Sinatra a few years earlier, resurrect his career. Due to a combination of personal and business problems, Haymes had fallen far from his mid-'40s peak, when he was a major rival to Sinatra among the new crop of solo singers emerging from the big ...

The 50's Remembered: Pop Vocalists Era - Female

by
Various Artists
A multi-volume retrospective of the pop vocalists era (although neither volume is individually designated from the other; a curious twist or perhaps a mere oversight), the second entry into the series features a 16-track collection of sides from female singers who recorded with success primarily for Decca and Kapp Records. Again, like the first ...

A better purchase than Sonny Boy (OJC 348) which has four of this set's six numbers plus "The House I Live In" from an earlier date. None of the Sonny Rollins' originals (which include "B. Swift," "B. Quick" and "Ee-Ah") on this release caught on. With pianist Kenny Drew, bassist George Morrow and drummer Max Roach completing the quartet, Rollins ...

Accomplished violinist and drummer as well as vocalist, Chicagoan Della Griffin wears just her singing hat on her inaugural album for the Muse label. She plays it safe by sticking with a play list of recognizable Tin Pan Alley standards which she delivers in her Billy Holiday/Dinah Washington-influenced singing style. Influenced, but not an ...

After emerging in the Broadway musical Camelot, Robert Goulet enjoyed considerable success on Columbia Records as a seller of LPs in the early '60s, but the label never managed to break a single that might have catapulted him to another level of popularity. When the Beatles hit in 1964, his sales began to flag. Having released Without You in the ...

The first of three exceptional discs spotlighting Gene Ammons' ballad artistry, Gentle Jug combines two original Prestige/Moodsville albums by the tenor great: 1961's Nice 'n Cool and 1962's The Soulful Moods of Gene Ammons. And while the ballad work of, say, Dexter Gordon and Ben Webster is of a very high order, Ammons takes top honors for his ...

by
Jaki Byard
Although Jaki Byard was a very eclectic pianist, this is a surprisingly conventional set. On most selections he is joined by bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Walter Perkins (in 1964) for fairly straight-ahead renditions of standards and obscurities. A few of the numbers add Booker Ervin on tenor and trumpeter Richard Williams, and of these by far ...

Humperdinck was discovered in 1967. This is his second album; the year is still 1967. Included here is his chart topping gold record, "The Last Waltz" plus such Englebert standards as "Two Different Worlds" and "Am I that Easy to Forget." Humperdinck's voice is a touch higher (and thinner) here than the velvet tones we all know so well from his ...
