By the time of the release of This Love Is Real, it seemed that Chicago soul producer Carl Davis had the hit formula for Jackie Wilson down pat. He'd recruit Motown's James Jamerson, Earl Van Dyke, Benny Benjamin, and the rest of the Funk Brothers and combine their dynamic interplay with a top-notch song from his stable of talented songwriters. It had worked with Wilson's comeback hit "Higher and Higher and was still working some three years later. The effervescent single "(I Can Feel Those Vibrations) This Love Is Real" charted on Billboard in late 1970, becoming a steppers classic. The pop ballad "Love Is Funny That Way" broke the R&B Top 20. Wilson's impressive vocal prowess is showcased on "Let This Be a Letter (To My Baby)" and "Love Uprising," both written by the Chi-Lites' Eugene Record. The ethereal "Think About the Good Times" features an outstanding instrumental break that features fluid wah-wah guitar, dazzling bass runs, and otherworldly sound effects supplied by engineer Bruce Swedien.

KROQ:FM Devotees Album (1978-79) Colection of Fan Tributes to Devo (Rhino LP)
"This LP was compiled from tapes sent in by KROQ listeners during the summers of 1978 and 79. KROQ, Rhino Records (2) and Devo would like to thank all the mutants who entered the Devotees contest."
Not all that bad. Done by fans who entered a contest back in 78-79. I actually like several of the covers of Mongoloid. Some of the tracks even outstrip DEVO's own early work. I mean some of DEVO's earlier recordings before Brian Eno stepped in were down right primitive. (Crawdaddy)
Having own it on vinyl ever since it came out in 1979, I can only attest to the comments made here and on other sites. It is weird, it is not always even rock'n'roll, but it still swings - sort of ... :-) It's quite amazing that such a tribute album could come out this early - even at all! - for the glory of THIS group. Heck, DEVO is just a bunch of nerds in plastic suits who cannot even play right?!? Nowadays there are tribute records being issued every day, it seems, and they are quite often uninteresting, either because the covers do not add much but often remove some of the elements that make that artist - whoever och whatever it is - as great as he/she/it is. HERE though, they all do their own thing completely, it's even another ballpark - or should that be skate park? - and it is still great! If you are a DEVO fan and have not heard it - check it out!

Devo - Pioneers Who Got Scalped: The Anthology
Heading into the new millennium, there was no truly definitive Devo compilation on the market, so Rhino attempted to remedy the situation with the double-disc Pioneers Who Got Scalped: The Anthology -- and did a pretty good job, without quite pulling it off. When faced with a choice, the compilation takes the collector-oriented route by including the rarer version; as a result, buyers get a couple of early Booji Boy-label recordings, and several single and dance remixes. More problematic, though, is the anthology's attempt to present a balanced overview of Devo's career. While admirable in intent, the fact is that the group's oeuvre grew steadily weaker as time passed, and since disc one runs all the way through their first (and best) four albums, disc two is a pretty bumpy ride. Not that it's worthless -- devotees will be thrilled with the inclusion of quite a few songs that had only previously appeared on movie soundtracks, and it also rescues a few worthwhile singles from obscurity. But it pales next to the first disc in terms of songwriting, musical invention, and edgy humor; plus, where the band's early covers reinvented rock standards as comments on alienation, latter-day items like "Bread and Butter" and "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" are nothing more than novelties. So the bottom line is, you've got to be a hardcore Devo enthusiast to fully appreciate Pioneers Who Got Scalped. If you are, it's a fantastic package; if you want a more basic overview, you're better off with the somewhat disorganized Greatest Hits or the import collection Hot Potatoes. It's kind of a shame, though, that in spite of the generally fine job done compiling Pioneers, there still isn't a Devo anthology that distills all the best moments from their crucial early years, and throws in just the right (small) number of later singles.

The Resonars - The Resonars '97
It's still impossible to believe that Tucson's Matt Rendon is the Resonars, all the Resonars, sounding for all he's worth on this exhilarating record like there are at least half a dozen guys expressing themselves on vocal harmonies alone. Rendon -- who of course writes almost everything, too -- is as enthused on percussion as he is resplendent on (many) guitars, and his production timing is sharp and complementary to all contributing tracks (even if a couple cuts on the A-side sound a teeny bit clipped at the end). But it is his upper register, some say Hollies-esque voice, that makes The Resonars resonate, particularly in terms of sheer memorability factor. At least half these songs could be singalong drive-time darlings, yet they are not necessarily pop songs. The harmonious legacies of the Byrds, the Mamas & the Papas, and even a whiff or two of the Who are what come streaming to mind on the most addictive cuts, "So Below," "Queen Tonight," and "Dark on You Now." It is, as Rendon says himself, the strength of "harmony as the lead" that really makes this sound splash and swoop in the youthful and reassuring tradition of Peanut Butter Conspiracy and the Beach Boys. Hopefully, the world will be awake enough to recognize the brilliant "sparkle on the water" aesthetic of harmony and its character in Rendon's signature sweet piece, "Crawl out My Window," which is as much an ode to young unsanctioned love as it is a musical approach to life literally guided by voices. A swell and utterly lovable big project by one really talented guy. (Allmusic)

The J.B.'s & Fred Wesley - The Lost Album Featuring Watermelon Man (2011) '72
Pinch us, we're dreaming – a lost album from The JBs! The set's a treasure for any fans of the funky James Brown sound of the early 70s – and it features material originally recorded for release as the first full length album by The JBs in 1972 – but never issued at the time! A few cuts here made it onto other records and singles in different versions, but others are completely fresh – and heard here for the first time ever – really helping expand our understanding of the group at this point in their career. Dave Matthews did a lot of the arrangements for the set, and there's a surprising amount of jazz in the mix, too – lots of full horn passages that show Fred Wesley leading the group with a damn hard-swinging sound – mixed in with just the right degree of soul you'd expect, but in ways that are different than some of the later JBs jams. Titles include "Transmograpification", "Use Me", "Everybody Plays The Fool", "Sweet Loneliness", "Watermelon Man", "Secret Love", "You've Got A Friend", and "Seulb". CD also features 4 bonus non-LP singles – "Funky & Some", "JB Shout", "Back Stabbers", and "Alone Again Naturally" – all killer funky 45s from the early 70s! © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The J.B.'s & Fred Wesley - The Lost Album Featuring Watermelon Man (2011) '72
The phrase "lost album" doesn't bring about the same excitement that it did when Chris Bell's heart-shattering I Am the Cosmos was finally assembled and released in 1992 -- even though there are labels literally dedicated to releasing music of the unknown and unheard variety (and do a fine job to boot). Simply put, we've come to expect "lost albums," because this is the age where anything and everything is supposed to be available, isn't it? Fred Wesley's Lost Album was never really lost; it was simply unreleased, save for a few tracks issued as singles. In hearing it, one can only ask why. The Lost Album Featuring Watermelon Man is billed to the J.B.'s & Fred Wesley; it is, for the most part, a jazz album -- and a fine one. While James Brown handpicked some selections and asked his arranger David Matthews to compose others and write arrangements, Wesley contributed tunes and charts as well. The sessions were actually recorded in New York in 1972 with top-flight session players including Michael and Randy Brecker, Joe Farrell, Eddie Daniels, Hugh McCracken, Seldon Powell, and others. While a righteously funky cover version of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" opens the set -- with Brown on drums (his only appearance at these sessions) -- it's followed by the loveliest, most beautifully conceived cut on the entire album, Wesley's ballad "Sweet Loneliness." With a lilting, colorful chart, his trombone offers a multi-timbred lyricism, and the bridge, while brief, is electrifying.
Covers of popular tunes were de rigueur during the era, and a good number of them can be heard here, including fine jazz arrangements of Carole King's "You've Got a Friend," Bill Withers' "Use Me" (which is so slippery, and Wesley's trombone so greasy, it actually adds to the funk quotient of the original), and the gorgeous soul-jazz of "Everybody Plays the Fool." Both these tunes add a backing female vocal chorus to contrast with Wesley's deep grooving, swinging bone. The track planned to be the B-side of "Watermelon Man" as a pre-release single (which was never previously issued) is a faithful jazz rendering of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)." Who would have thought the tune had so much soul? The real scorchers are Matthews' Count Basie-esque "Seulb," a backwards vamp blues with killer work from Michael Brecker, and "Transmograpification," with an extended imaginative solo by Wesley. Familiar James Brown & the J.B.'s set nuggets such as "J.B. Shout," "Get on the Good Foot," "Funky & Some," and "Back Stabbers" feature wonderful interplay among the horns -- especially Randy Brecker and Wesley. The trombonist is certainly front and center on every cut here, making it a grand statement for him. The Lost Album has been beautifully remastered and its sequence extended including other material from these sessions. It nonetheless fleshes out Wesley's history and reveals him to be as serious a jazz cat as he was a funk kingpin as musical director of the J.B.'s' funkified presentation. Ultimately, this is one of those "lost albums" that not only meets expectations, but easily exceeds them. (Thom Jurek, Allmusic)
