This CD brilliantly outlines what happened when the restless youth of Spanish Harlem collided with the 1960s, and created controversial sparks. Indeed, to this new breed of Hispanic Harlemites, the mambos and cha-chas of their parents' generation were a drag. Instead, they tuned to psychedelic fashions, wild parties, hip culture and the R&B of their time. The result was intoxicating. For a brief period, from 1966 to 1969, a multitude of Latin soul/boogaloo bands soaked raw Hispanic rhythms neck-deep in African-American rhythm & blues. It was a glorious moment that sadly stopped as soon as the '60s slid into the '70s. This CD illustrates some of the Latin soul era's finest moments. Culled from the Fania family of labels -- Fania / Tico / Cotique / Alegre -- it evokes a time when everyone in New York City was doing the boogaloo. (The Soul Detective)

Love - Reel to Real ’74 [Deluxe Edition] '15
“Rich in soulful, unconventional details, masterful singing, crunchy-guitar rock, straight-up Stax-grounded soul, eccentric psychedelia and contemporary funk.”
– David Fricke, Rolling Stone
Armed with a major label budget and a powerful, intuitive band, he dug deep into the blues, soul, and rock grooves that first inspired him, reaching out to a new audience with his fierce and forward-thinking personal vision. The album features Arthur’s beloved Black Beauty band: drummer Joe Blocker, guitarist Melvan Whittington, and bassist Robert Rozelle — who Lee referred to as “cats who can play funky and rock" — augmented by guitar-ace John Sterling and cameo appearances by legendary guitarists Harvey Mandel and “Buzzy” Feiten.
To a palette of stinging guitars, explosive brass (arranged by Arthur Lee), deep funk bass and clavinet, splashes of spacey synthesizer, and dream-team female backing vocals, Arthur Lee brought his funkiest and most soulful collection of songs, channeling the most visceral vocal performances he ever committed to tape.
Bonus tracks include 11 revelatory, previously-unreleased tracks from the original sessions, including alternate takes and mixes, live-in-studio rehearsals, and 4 newly-discovered Arthur Lee originals: “Do It Yourself,” “I Gotta Remember,” “Somebody,” and “You Gotta Feel It.” These songs (three fully-produced rockers, and a spare, Imagine-era John Lennon-by-way-of Sly Stone studio sketch) were previously unknown to all but their original participants, and present a major addition to Arthur Lee’s catalog. Other bonus track highlights include the guitar fury in the extended, alternate mix of “Busted Feet,” the eccentric and darkly-comic single mix of “You Said You Would,” and an impromptu studio rehearsal of Forever Changes outtake “Wonder People (I Do Wonder).” This ultra-rare bonus material fills out the picture of a fearless, agile and very funky ensemble, led by a masterful singer- songwriter at his feral, exultant best.

Ethan Johns & The Black Eyed Dogs - Silver Liner '15
Although primarily a producer and engineer, one whose diverse clients have included Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Laura Marling and Ryan Adams, British-born Ethan Johns can also be frequently found on the other side of the desk too, playing with the likes of John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris and Fish, both in the studio and on the road. From time to time, he also does his own stuff, too.
Having released his debut album in 2012, following up with the conceptual, Adams-produced The Reckoning, Silver Liner is now his third, recorded live with a core band consisting of bassist Nick Pino, drummer (and producer) Jeremy Stacey and pedal steel legend BJ Cole and put down over the space of just ten days. All self-penned material, it embraces both homegrown folk and Americana, the influences often clearly out in the open, case in point being the title track which (featuring Gillian Welch on backing) even Neil Young might be persuaded it was one of his own forgotten tracks from the After The Goldrush-era archives, right down to whiny vocal and trademark fiery guitar solo.
Young’s also firmly in evidence on the strummed, loping, desert-parched eight-and-a-half minute Six And Nine with its memorable “I set ’em up just to knock ’em down” refrain, while the spoken passages on the equally lengthy, noir-tinged, slow-tempo jazzy Open Your Window have a touch of the Lou Reed about them and, backed by a string section, piano ballad It Won’t Always Be This Way strains The Eagles’ Desperado through a Randy Newman filter.
By contrast, although the cascading chords are almost identical to those on My Darling Clementine’s Going Back To Memphis, the chugging, accordion-accompanied I Don’t Mind mostly recalls Slim Chance and, from the same era, the doleful, waltzing The Sun Hardly Rises harks to the British folk-rock of early Richard Thompson. However, largely down to Cole’s pedal steel and Johns on mandolin, it also has the same vein of roots country that runs throughout the album, at its thickest on the keening Juanita that features both Welch and Bernie Leadon and suggests John Wesley Harding vintage Dylan holed up in some cantina on the Tex-Mex border.
Returning to folk notes, the album plays out on the intricate fingerpicked acoustic guitar of the night sky atmospherics of Dark Fire and the slightly bluesier I’m Coming Home, neither of which would be out of place in a Bruce Cockburn collection.
So, yes, it will remind you of other artists, but Johns’ seasoned, engaging voice and his way with melodies ensure that it isn’t in their shadows.

Rick Nelson - The Complete Epic Recordings 1977-1978
Rick Nelson: The Complete Epic Recordings offers a long-overdue look at a neglected period of a true rock legend’s career.
Rick Nelson s short, late- 70s tenure at the Epic label was an exceptionally creative and productive period for him, but you wouldn t know it by what has been released, especially in this country. He recorded three albums worth of material, but only one, 1977 s Intakes, was released during his lifetime; the tracks he laid down the next year met a much less kind fate.
The first, the Al Kooper-produced Back to Vienna, was never released as an album at all; the next, originally titled Rockabilly Renaissance, a startling return to his rockabilly roots and a forerunner to the cow-punk and alt-country movements to come, was released in 1986, the year following his death, in watereddown, overdubbed form as The Memphis Sessions. Some of the unreleased material leaked out on the 18-track 1993 CD release Stay Young the Epic Recordings, but much of his work for Epic remained buried in the vaults witness the fact that 11 of these 41 tracks see their first American release right here (and another 12 tracks make their American CD debut)! In fact, NONE of these three albums has ever been on CD in this country, and, even better, Memphis Sessions has been remixed under Richard Weize s supervision to eliminate the posthumous studio dubbing that adulterated Rick s original vision. Produced and annotated by renowned Rick Nelson expert James Ritz and featuring photos from the period, Rick Nelson: The Complete Epic Recordings offers a long-overdue look at a neglected period of a true rock legend’s career.

The Small Faces - Darlings of Wapping Wharf Launderette: The Immediate Anthology 1967-1968
This is the anthology Small Faces fans have been waiting for--
a two-disc remastered set of every studio track (plus outtakes)
the band cut for Immediate in 1967-68. The sound quality, taken
from long-lost master tapes only just found in 1999, is among
the finest I've ever heard for any release EVER, past or present.
It is so stunning that the songs sound like you're hearing them for the first time; the phasing on the title track to "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" alone is worth the price of the whole set.
(Michael Topper , Shindig)
Here's the question for Small Faces fans: Is it better to own the original Immediate albums or to invest in the splendid double-disc set, The Darlings of Wapping Wharf Launderette? The question is a tricky one, since Darlings contains all of their Immediate recordings, meaning all of Autumn Stone (or There Are But Four Small Faces, as it's known in its American incarnation), plus all of the landmark Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. Granted, Ogden's is divided cleanly in half, with the first side appearing on disc one and the second on disc two, which may irritate listeners who like to hear the concept album uninterrupted. Nevertheless, it's hard not to view Darlings as a real bargain, since it gathers all the singles, albums, B-sides, plus some outtakes and alternate mixes and versions from the group's most creative period. And, hearing them in this setting, it's hard not to be stunned by the depth of the group's songwriting and restless musicality, which holds its own with peers like the Kinks and the Who. So, the question may indeed be an easy one, after all -- if you want to be stunned by the Small Faces' peak, there's no better place to turn. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine , Allmusic)

Buddy & Julie Miller- Written In Chalk '09
Buddy and Julie Miller have been making records separately for over 20 years. During that time, however, despite playing on one another's recordings, this is only the second one they've made collaboratively. Written in Chalk is steeped in American music tradition. Whether it's country, blues, boozy swing, or rock, this husband-and-wife duo lays it all down with authenticity, great humor, and honest emotion. They recorded the set at their home studio in Nashville, with help from old friends like Brady Blade, Matt Rollings, Chris Donohue, John Deaderick, Jay Bellerose, Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, and the McCrary Sisters, as well as some new ones, including Larry Campbell and Robert Plant. Julie wrote eight of these dozen songs. They are among the most sophisticated and emotionally resonant of her career -- and that's saying plenty. The album opener is the devastatingly beautiful reminiscence "Ellis County," with Buddy's lead vocal looking back to "...when all we could afford was laughter/And two mules instead of a tractor...where there was nothing left to throw out/When there was a light that wouldn't go out...." With Campbell's fiddle adding the high lonesome of Appalachia in the track, one can imagine Levon Helm singing this song, but it's so much more effective with Buddy and Julie. Julie Miller also writes about heartbreak in a singular way. She avoids clichés and, when singing her own songs, doesn't need to over-emote because the truth of them lies in her lyrics and soft expression. Instead, she inhabits her lyrics fully, and one can feel the weight in them as they come up from the depths of the pierced heart of her protagonists and resonate in the mournful grain of her voice.
Julie helps out on two such songs, "Don't Say Goodbye," the single most devastating song on the record, and the resigned loneliness of "Chalk." In her song "Long Time," Julie's blues-drenched vocal brings to mind a young Rickie Lee Jones, but without the sass and swagger. For Julie Miller, these lyrics and her melody carry all the power they need; her delivery allows them to assert themselves -- and they do authoritatively. The smoky, boozy trumpet solo by Kami Lyle is another highlight. The pair wrote "Gasoline and Matches," which offers an honest and humorous view of a mismatched couple who nonetheless find themselves knitted inseparably together. The evocation of taut finger-popping jump jazz and blues suggests the loungey early stylings of Tom Waits, but the guitaristry belongs to Buddy alone. Plant duets with Buddy on a gritty, slithering bluesy version of Mel Tillis' "What You Gonna Do Leroy." His rootsy vocal is in perfect keeping with Gurf Morlix's lap steel and Stuart Duncan's fiddle. The closing track on this set is another cover, but this time its spiritual resonance is profound. Julie sings both background and harmony vocals with Buddy on Leon Payne's underappreciated classic "The Selfishness in Man," to send the recording off as a haunted reflection on sin. Written in Chalk is a welcome return by one of American music's great -- if under-recognized -- duos. Buddy Miller's production and guitar work have been well documented on recordings and in the critical vernacular, as have Julie Miller's songs. But together, they are an unbeatable combination and this album is the indisputable proof. Roots music is alive and well, and is being served up red hot here. (Tom Jurek, Allmusic)

The Drifters - Stand By Me: The Very Best of the Drifters '15
This career-spanning anthology from legendary vocal group the Drifters is buoyed by the addition of a new recording of "Stand by Me," the iconic 1962 solo hit by former Drifter Ben E. King. Beginning with their 1953 formation as the backing group for Clyde McPhatter, the group has had a revolving-door membership and enjoyed a lengthy career with peaks in three different decades. In addition to timeless pop hits like "Under the Boardwalk," "Up on the Roof," and "This Magic Moment," the collection stretches into the '70s to include later-era singles like "Kissin' in the Back Row of the Movies" and "Down on the Beach Tonight," which were chart hits in the U.K. Their catalog has been well-covered over the decades and aside from the nice remasters, the draw here is the new version of "Stand by Me," marking the first time the song has been recorded under the Drifters' name. (Allmusic)
2015 collection featuring all the band's biggest hits plus a number of brand new tracks recorded by the current line-up including a cover of U2's 'Vertigo' and the Ben E. King classic 'Stand By Me'. The Drifters originally formed in 1953 and despite a number of line-up changes went on to become one of the most successful chart bands in American history. Songs like 'Save The Last Dance', 'Under The Boardwalk' and 'Up On The Roof' becoming massive hits both sides on the Atlantic. Signed to Atlantic records under the stewardship of producers Jerry Leiber & Mike Stroller the band featured one Ben E King as their lead vocalist for a period before he left and recorded the seminal 'Stand By Me', a track that was originally meant to be recorded by the Drifters themselves. Despite Ben E King being synonymous with the Drifters and the track 'Stand By Me' being originally meant for the band they have never recorded it, until now. (Record Runner)

For those who don't know Buddy & Julie Miller, 'Written In Chalk' is really worth a listen, especially the song "Gasoline and Matches" which takes country to the stratosphere. Take my word for it, but who am I anyway? Just a guy who can listen to Miss Toni Fisher, then follow up with Philip Glass, and end with the Millers. But man, that song sets me aflame.
Gyro, thanks for Rick Nelson at Epic.
Gyro, many thanks for sharing all things, The Drifters, The Small Faces, Rick Nelson, and,"Detroit Doo Wop"...also your work and ear.
Thanks for the Small Faces, Gyro. Brilliant!
Thanks
re Small Faces and Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. Who remembers listening to side one and then getting up off the couch, walking over to the "record player" and turning the great big plastic disc over to listen to side two?
We never got to listen to it uninterrupted!
Thanks for Explosivos.
