Despite his statement in the liner notes that " In an era where it is best to play it safe, I chose to take a risk..., there isn't much surprising or risky about young guitarist Joe Bonamassa's fifth studio album. Most of his previous releases have mixed blues covers with his own originals, all played with a rocker's attitude, volume & less-than-subtle approach. This one follows suit & even though he goes on to say that he wanted to make a blues album, not a rock album that has blues on it, ...

Cocker fans will not be disappointed with this collection of great songs. After a slow start, he belts out the old time classics as only Joe Cocker can.

Issued in 2009, the 40th anniversary of { Woodstock, the most famous rock music festival in history, Joe Cocker's performance at the festival turns out to be one of the defining moments of his career thus far. Who knew? Cocker's turn on the stage came on Sunday afternoon, August 17, 1969. He had issued his brilliant debut album, With a Little Help from My Friends, the previous February, & his sophomore follow-up -- not as dynamic a recording but a more consistent one overall -- would be issued ...

Mad Dogs & Englishmen was just about the most elaborate album that A&M Records had ever released, back in 1971, a double LP in a three-panel, fold-out, gatefold sleeve, with almost 80 minutes of music inside & a ton of photos, graphics, & annotation wrapping around it. A live recording done in tandem with a killer documentary film of the same U.S. tour, it was recorded at the Fillmore East, where the movie was a cross-country affair, & the two were, thus, completely separate entities -- al ...

Joe is one of Irelands best Showband singers (an Irish Tom Jones). Opening with the brilliant " Make me an island" ("take me & break me, make me an isl&, I'm yours") on to the staple Danny Boy. Then comes his best known & many peoples favourite " Good Looking Woman". after " Here we go again the album drifts & the comes back to life with "I love you more & more" & the last 11 songs are excellent.

Producer Joe Meek is primarily identified with the pre-Beatles era of British rock. However, he did make records until just before his death in early 1967, & he did make some recordings that were in the British Invasion-generated "beat group" style. This 20-track anthology of such material is not definitive, as it doesn't include some bands in the genre that he worked with, like the Riot Squad, David John & the Mood, & the Buzz. However, it's a decent sampling of Meek's efforts with mid-'60s ...

Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson's debut as a leader is a particularly strong & historic effort. With major contributions made by trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist Mc Coy Tyner, bassist Butch Warren, & drummer Pete La Roca, Henderson (who already had a strikingly original sound & a viable inside/outside style) performs six generally memorable compositions on this CD reissue. Highlights include the original versions of Dorham's " Blue Bossa" & Henderson's " Recorda Me." It's highly recommended. ...

In his first few years as a recording artist, Joe Jackson evolved from in-your-face, guitar-based New Wave to classy, keyboard-driven pop, & this collection of his BBC recordings from 1979-1982 lets you hear that evolution in action. Jackson & his original band sound gutsy as all get-out on the early cuts, while his Mark II group creates a captivating swirl of keyboard textures & Latin percussion, but perhaps the most memorable moments are the ones where the guitar-rock tunes get radically ...

Joe Cocker - Ultimate Collection (1968 - 2003)

Calling something "The Ultimate Collection" is fraught with problems -- usually of omission. Certainly over these two discs -- containing a total of 30 tracks -- there are plenty of fine moments from some of Joe Cocker's earliest material, such as "The Letter, With a Little Help From My Friends, Delta Lady, She Came In Through the Bathroom Window, etc. Also present are virtually all of his later hits and some that should have been: Up Where We Belong, You Are So Beautiful, Many River
