Jay-Z
If The Black Album is Jay-Z's last, as he publicly stated it will be, it illustrates an artist going out in top form. For years Shawn Carter has been the best rapper and the most popular, a man who can strut the player lifestyle with one track and become the eloquent hip-hop everyman with the next, an artist for whom modesty is often a sin, and ...

Tish Hinojosa
Tish Hinojosa continues to move into the mainstream with Destiny's Gate without losing the magic of Culture Swing. With a beautiful voice reminiscent of Joan Baez and Emmylou Harris, she seems to have perfected her unique blend of Mexican folk and country music. "I Want to See You Again" stands out as one of her finest songs. Chris Woodstra, All ...

Original Off-Broadway Cast
Original off-Broadway cast album from William Finn's sequel to his previous off-Broadway show, March of the Falsettos, and one of the most impressive musical scores in years, a fact confirmed when the combined shows came to Broadway under the title Falsettos and won a Tony for best score.

by
Nina Simone
This album was apparently a bit of a pastiche of leftovers from sessions for Nina Simone's four previous albums on Philips. But you'd never guess from listening; the material is certainly as strong and consistent as it is on her other mid-'60s LPs. As is the case with most of her albums of the time, the selections are almost unnervingly diverse, ...

On the one hand, yes, this is just one more Melodians best-of, no better or worse than any of the many others on the reggae market. On the other hand, it shares only one track with a similarly titled collection on the Mango label and, amazingly, only two with a much more generous previous collection on Trojan (titled Rivers of Babylon: Best of ...

Nina Simone recorded seven albums for the Philips label between 1964 and 1966. It was the period in her career in which her reputation was cemented as a world-class artist, and one in which she gained fame for her contributions to the civil rights movement as well.

Audio Two
Aided by Stetsasonic's Daddy O on a pair of cuts ("Make It Funky" and "Top Billin'"), Audio Two's full-length debut is a patchy affair, just like the albums that would follow from the Brooklyn duo. Neither Gizmo Dee nor his brother Milk are proficient rappers with above average lyrical capabilities, but the way they play off each other is ...

Could this be the record that launches a thousand production careers? Variations on The Black Album began multiplying like rabbits soon after its release in November 2003, with DJ Danger Mouse's masterful Gray Album -- in which samples from the Beatles' White Album power the productions behind Jay-Z's raps -- getting a large share of the publicity ...

Nina Simone
This second of two Nina Simone compilations issued in 2005 (and third in two years), For Lovers focuses on Simone's crucial tenure on the Verve imprint. It's not a thorough examination of her career by any stretch, but it does feature what many consider to be ideal performances of two of her most well-known songs: "I Loves You, Porgy" and "Black ...

Rather than the customary single lead contrasted by twin harmonies, The Melodians divided lead duties between Tony Brevette and Brent Dowe, with Trevor McNaughton harmonizing with the singer who wasn't featured on a particular track.

Havens' third Verve album was an ambitious double LP, using about a couple dozen backing musicians in various combinations on instruments ranging from conga and sitar to steel guitar and organ. Though recorded for the most part in the studio, it also included several live recordings from a July 1968 concert. As with many double albums, it perhaps ...

One of 1979's overlooked P-funk goodies was Mutiny on the Mamaship, the debut album by George Clinton disciples Mutiny. Parliament/Funkadelic's influence is impossible to miss on this very derivative LP, which can hardly be called innovative and certainly won't win any awards for its originality. Some reviewers slammed Mutiny leader Jerome Brailey ...
