    Weldon "Juke Boy" Bonner - The Struggle
    1967, Arhoolie 1045, LP - OOP

    Poet laureate of the late '60s/early '70s blues scene. If it wasn't for bad luck, he'd have had no luck at all. Excellent guitar, harp and vocal work.

    Easily in my top five Blues cd's - Junior Wells- "Come on in This House" .........and four tracks in shooting for #1.
    Telarc does some fine stuff with jazz and classical and Blues it seems. (Supposed to be an SACD available as well).
    This is one of those "you are there" recordings soundwise and Junior was definitely up for this performance.

    Sheffield Labs: The Moscow Sessions CD-26



    Sinatra: "Reprise"


    NO COMPRESSION ON THESE. The Sheffield labs recordings are so dynamic and the arrangements, as usual, on the Sintra disc are spectacular.

    Spent some quality time with Rhino's reissue of....

    d10554rdf9t.jpg

    Still a bit of tape hiss audible during the quietest passages, but a vast improvement over the original redbook release, plus Rhino put both LP's on one disc, whereas the original was on two. Also the singles versions of "Make Me Smile" and "24 or 6 to 4" are an added bonus.

    Overall a very nice job on the best release from one of the 70's bands that brought horns to rock.
    More later,

    Mapleshade Records: "Mapleshade Music Festival"

    This is by far the best sounding 13 tracks of music from Mapleshade. . . it is jawdroppingly, astoundingly, amazing!!! It covers Blues, R & B, Jazz and an a cappella gospel track. This disc really blew me away. . . my rig never sounded so good.

    Did I say the best sounding from Mapleshade. . . let me rephrase that, it is by far the besting sounding 13 tracks I've ever heard. I brought my wife in to listen to one of the tracks by Drink Small Quartet's "Stormy Monday Blues" and she said, "It sounds like the singer is so in the room that he is spitting on me as he is singing!"

    If you haven't heard this disc then by all means you should consider buying it. Here is Mapleshade's Site

    One of the nice things about Mapleshade is that if you but 4 discs they cost you like $9.40 apiece.


    David Bowie: "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust"

    This is by all means a rock & roll masterpiece.

    Elton John- Captain & The Kid

    7269072.jpg

    This 2006 sequel to Elton John's revered 1975 outing, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC & THE BROWN DIRT COWBOY, finds the erstwhile Reginald Dwight (the Captain) looking back on the decades between the two albums with his longtime writing partner, Bernie Taupin (the Kid). Continuing the earlier record's autobiographical themes, THE CAPTAIN & THE KID is highly charged with emotion (see "Tinderbox" for a close examination of John and Taupin's up-and-down professional relationship), and the British pop icon unveils some of his most powerfully moving and beautifully spare vocal and piano performances in years, which can be sampled on the poignant, achingly minimal single "The Bridge." This introspective atmosphere stands in sharp contrast to John's giddy turn on the Scissor Sisters' Bee-Gees-like "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'," which topped the U.K. charts shortly before THE CAPTAIN's release, and helped to prove that he remains a vital and dynamic musician more than 30 years into his incredibly accomplished career.

    Lisa Loeb & the Nine Stories - Tails

    197331.jpg


    Soft folk pop, catchy beats, soothing vocals. One of her better efforts. Even though it's 12 years old I can see what all the fuss was about for her back then. Lyrics are a bit sophmoric compared to others of this genre of singer/songwriter/folk pop. A pretty decent recording striking a nice balance of folk tendencies w/ great choruses and some big guitar based riffs. Very enjoyable

    Not bad. But i'm hoping the rest of the CD is better- Come Away With Me was like lightening in a bottle.

    from Naxos' American Classics series:
    Samuel Barber: Orchestral Works Vol. 1, Symphonies Nos 1 & 2.

    An award winning recording at a bargin basement price. In the last few years, Naxos has been doing some great stuff. The only CD of theirs I have been disappointed w/ is their recent recording of Bernstein's West Side Story (sounded worse than some high school productions.)

    Yes - "Close to the Edge"

    Yes - "Fragile"

    It was like I was hearing it for the first time. I heard things I never heard before the thousands of times I listened to these two LPs and then CDs. I'm really diggin this rig!

    The inner detail being presented with these new RD0198 is blowing me away.

    I was messmerized (sp). . . it's late!
