Keith Urban
Keith Urban's sophomore issue on Capitol is an early yet devastatingly original piece of work that pointed the way toward the album's Be Here and Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy thing in 2004 and 2006, respectively. Urban is partially responsible for the diverse musical traditions that make their way into the contemporary country music scene of the ...

by
Gerald LeVert
On Love & Consequences, Gerald LeVert makes a few overtures to hip-hop, but he remains, in his heart, a sensitive loverman -- which is both a good and bad thing. LeVert is a powerful, soulful vocalist who can deliver love ballads as well as any of his contemporaries, but he doesn't always exhibit much musical imagination. "No Sense" may have ...

Take Your Shoes Off
(1999)
more music like this
by
Robert Cray
It's evident right from the start that Robert Cray's aiming for a Memphis soul groove on Take Your Shoes Off. Willie Mitchell of Hi Records fame co-wrote and did the horn arrangements for the lead-off cut, "Love Gone to Waste," and Jim Pugh's burbling organ would have fit snugly into the mix of an early '70s Al Green record. The blues is not ...

by
Chic
Chic was very much in its prime when it recorded its third album, Risqué, which contained hits that ranged from "My Feet Keep Dancing" and "My Forbidden Lover" to the influential "Good Times." That feel-good manifesto is one of the first songs that comes to mind when one thinks of the disco era and the Jimmy Carter years, but Chic's popularity ...

Quicksilver Messenger Service
Released legally 36 years after the fact, the double-disc set At the Kabuki Theatre presents a recording of Quicksilver Messenger Service's 1970 New Year's Eve performance in San Francisco; the sound quality is surprisingly good, because the show was broadcast live that night by local radio station KMPX, resulting in a relatively clear recording. ...

If you knock the WWF for trying to cash in where they can, it may not do you any good. Vince McMahon not only turned professional wrestling into a ratings bulldozer, but the music industry also felt a touch of his wrath. What can you say about WWF Music Vol. 5 except for that the diehard wrestling fanatic will certainly appreciate it. But the ...

Chic
To the rock critics who dismissed Chic's music as disposable and mindless back in the late '70s: it might seem like a stretch to say that Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards had as great an impact as Gamble & Huff, George Clinton, and the folks at Stax Records. But in fact, Chic's music was that influential -- and its disco/funk/soul innovations ...

There was a need for a smartly selected two-disc Chic compilation. The Definitive Groove Collection plugs that gap. Ardent disco fanatics who aren't quite crazed enough to obtain all the albums, and yet not completely sated by a single-disc anthology, would do well to pick it up. As with a lot of the other volumes in Rhino's The Definitive Groove ...

Refreshing, wide-eyed optimism best describes this debut recording from Emilia. The first track, "A Good Sign," is an uptempo celebration of life, delivered with sincerity and an engagingly happy sing-along chorus. "Big, Big World," the title song, is gentle and arranged as a pseudo-procession tune, as if Emilia is taking her first cautious steps ...

It's good to have this four-CD box set of everything Ian & Sylvia did in the studio for Vanguard, as their valuable contributions to folk and folk-rock are (several decades later, anyway) underrated. There are a few things that could have been added to the package to make it more definitive, though. The set includes all of their first six albums, ...

As the extraordinarily stark and emotional, crystal-clear voiced Toronto native emerges as the new standard of neo-soul/jazz in the early 2000s, much ado will be made of her greatest professional calling card -- winning second place in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition. But that's just window dressing to two ...

Although this edition of Classic Masters doesn't quite do justice to a band that was at their core an album band, it nevertheless provides a good summary of their five albums for Capitol. Understandably, it concentrates on their first album, with no less than five of these 12 songs deriving from that platter, but it chooses from the other four ...

This 11-track collection drawn from Quicksilver Messenger Service's run at Capitol Records in the late '60s and early '70s has been released several times before, and it's a somewhat disappointing disc for all the reasons that the band itself was somewhat disappointing. Originally formed as a vehicle for Dino Valenti, who in all truth was an ...

There are many who can claim that since Kris Kristofferson never had much of a singer's voice, his songs were always better served by someone else's interpretation. This view is dead wrong, however. While Kristofferson may not possess a golden throat, that doesn't mean he isn't a great singer. He is. No one sings his material -- with the possible ...
