“More than anyone I ever met, Michael Chandler believes in the power of music to save souls. He should. It is the same power that almost destroyed him. For years he danced on the edge of the abyss, waltzing with Death and seduced by the succubi of abuse, until the gentle hand of God, born within him and manifest in the biggest beat of all time, led him to the Promised Land. Once blind, now he could see, and perhaps making up for lost time, he got to work with a feracity and passion and dedication to quality that left onlookers gasping and inspired. The music was looking forward through the past, a mighty gospel sound that gobbled up the entire history of rhythm and roll and came out rocking and perfectly ecumenical – it was that Old Time Religion for the Now Generation. Gone were the holy-roller overtones of the ancient church. All that was left was the deliverance of the groove. He found a band, The Lost crusaders, to follow him, and lead the stranded, mojo-hungry hordes out of the barren desert of contemporary “rock” music. Their message it simple – live, breathe, dance, sing, shake. Get with it. (Mike Edison, Cream)

Billed as "3 girls and their buddy" (I think). After Gyro posted a series of Buddy Miller cd's, I thought it would be nice to hear him accompanying him to these ladies.

Minnie Riperton - Her Chess Years
1960’s recordings with Rotary Connection and The Gems.
Because of the broad range of material on this CD, it serves as not only a representation of Minnie Riperton's early vocal work, but also as a time capsule of 1960's popular music. In other words, this CD is not just for diehard Minnie Riperton fans. The CD starts off with Minnie singing lead as a member of the Gems. It follows with "Lonely Girl," which Minnie recorded under the pseudonym "Andrea Davis." It was her first single as a solo artist and was a local Chicago-area hit featuring Minnie's signature high notes. That is followed by another Gems recording. The Gems are in the classic tradition of early 1960's girl groups such as the Ronettes, the Shirelles, and the Marvelettes. The remaining tracks on the CD feature Minnie as a member of the group, Rotary Connection. All of their tracks were produced and arranged by Charles Stepney, perhaps best known for his association with Earth, Wind & Fire. Although categorized as a rock band, Rotary Connection dabbled into many musical forms. Their fine covers of "Tales of Brave Ulysses" (Cream) and "The Burning of the Midnight Lamp" (Jimi Hendrix) would certainly be categorized as rock, but they were also quite at home with other forms of music. Minnie and co-lead vocalist Sidney Barnes team up to do a very distinctive version of the R&B classic, "Respect." Also catch their call-and-response vocals on their rendition of T-Bone Walker's blues classic, "They Call It Stormy Monday." "Christmas Love" and their version of the Christmas standard "Silent Night," will put you in the holiday spirit even in the middle of summer. When Minnie calls out, "Don't forget Chicago" toward the end of "Christmas Love," you can't help but be moved whether or not you're a native of the "Windy City." Also included on the CD is "Want You to Know," their only song to make the Hot 100, which slowly builds to a rousing climax. "If I Sing My Song," closes the CD and is in the vein of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66, which demonstrates yet another side of Rotary Connection. Minnie Riperton fan or not, this CD will surely take you on a musical adventure. (Shindig)

Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets-The Quality Holiday Revue Live '15
A live recording of Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets, captured during the 2014 Quality Holiday Revue tour of the US. The album features 13 tracks, including many that Nick released on his holiday album, Quality Street, as well as other well known songs from Nick Lowe’s rich catalog. The album tries to capture the format of the live show, which includes Nick playing with Los Straitjackets, Los Straitjackets performing without Nick and Nick performing solo, with just an acoustic guitar. (YEP ROC)
To those who went to the East Coast shows of Nick's tour last December, this is a must have. Nick has never sounded better. Los Straitjackets is the strongest band Nick has had since Rockpile. The only reason I took off 1 star is that the album only has 13 songs. I know it mirrors the Record Store Day release on vinyl (which only has 13 songs, perhaps due to volume restrictions), but with MP3, we could have been given more of the show. (or at least put it out in an expanded version on CD down the road). Still, get this album. Lot's of fun. (No Depression)

The Reigning Sound - Time Bomb High School '02
"Time Bomb High School" opens with "Stormy Weather", and Reigning Sound attack that old Doo Wop chestnut with abandon, making it twist and shout where it once only strolled. It's like they snuck their grampa's old Edsel out of the garage and fuel-injected the crate, replacing polite melancholy with desperate vocals, distorted guitar jangle, and a roller-rink organ swirling in the mix. And this souped-up jalopy is only held together with tape and glue and hormones, threatening to break apart in a fiery crash before it gets anywhere near Dead Man's Curve. A total thrill ride, in other words.
That opening shot is no mistake. Ex-Oblivians auteur Greg Cartwright's new combo is hellbent on rocking out like the last 25 years of punk never happened. They gnaw on the same roots that formed bands like the Standells and the Sonics; they dip in to the same melting pot of American music that later forged the Velvet Underground, the Modern Lovers, and the Ramones. Songs like "Reptile Style" and "Brown Paper Sack" sound like immediate classics from a parallel 1950s universe, churning with an adrenalized rush of Memphis soul and garage punk. Some heart-on-the-sleeve ballads help pace the album, but there's never a fear that this sock hop will end with a waltz.
This is the sort of archeological dig that rock bands often get lost in, returning to the surface with nothing to show but an academic dissertation and a whiteface of lime chalk. But Reigning Sound seem to have dug deeper than most, with less respect and a clumsy exuberance, unafraid of shattering a few fossils, and in the process they've uncovered something new and exciting. (Ugly Things)

Glen Campbell - Complete Capitol Christmas Recordings (1968-1972) (2015 Remaster)
This CD may provide the 1st listen for thousands of fans who were unaware of two of Glen's RARE holiday songs!
Real Gone's 2015 compilation The Complete Capitol Christmas Recordings is anchored on 1968's That Christmas Feeling LP, but it also has seven bonus tracks -- five of which were recorded between Glen Campbell's golden age of 1969-1972, while the other two were newly recorded cuts from 1990 intended for the budget-line comps Christmas for the 90s. That Christmas Feeling is very much of piece with Campbell's '60s LPs -- it's soft and warm, its strings don't flair but are woven into the structure of the arrangements -- and it's a perfect foil for Campbell's honeyed voice. Plus, the song selection is terrific: it relies on standards from the Great American Songbook -- "Christmas Is for Children," "It Must Be Getting Close to Christmas," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "Blue Christmas" -- with Roger Miller's "Old Toy Trains," and Willie Nelson's "Pretty Paper" functioning as country coloring. It's a terrific holiday record: the songs are strong, unmarred by a silly novelty, and the feel is as cozy as spending a snowy evening inside by the fireplace. The bonus tracks are a little spotty -- the recitation of "The Night Before Christmas" feels cornball, but the 1972 sides "I Believe in Christmas" and "New Snow on the Roof" are nice; the production on the 1990 cuts are too clean but the sensibility remains the same -- but it's still nice to get this all in one place. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)
The inclusion of two RARE, relatively UNKNOWN Campbell songs, "New Snow on the Roof" and "I Believe in Christmas", is reason enough to add this album to your holiday music collection regardless of whether you are a Campbell fan! In fact, this CD may provide the first listen for thousands of fans who were unaware of these two beautiful songs until now!
Why? Both songs were recorded by Glen Campbell for a single released in 1972, only for the single to be retracted for an unknown reason. Only a few copies of this single are known to exist. (Record Runner)

The Cynics - Living Is the Best Revenge '02
In May 2002 THE CYNICS hooked up with ace producer/R&R spiritual counselor TIm Kerr in Austin, TX. to record their first studio album in 7 years and most likely their best one to date! Recorded at Sweat Box Studios with Mike Vasquez and Bryan Nelson engineering, the tracks were laid down in just three days and they capture the energy and intensity of the Cynics live performances. The songs cover quite a dynamic range -- from howling, fuzzed-out punkers to mid-tempo melodic folk-rock nuggets to pure psych-garage mayhem. All with the ever-present Gretsch guitar sound of Gregg Kostelich and the gnarly great in-your-face vocals of Michael Kastelic. Completing the sound is Tom Hohn's prime beat bashing and Smith Hutching's solid bass. (Bomb)
Keeping the garage torch burning since 1983, the Cynics come through like a rude blast of fuzz-tone guitar. -- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Sugarpie & The Candymen - Let It Swing '15
Swing versions of Beatles songs.
Let it swing, it's Sugarpie and the Candymen fourth album, is their tribute to the greatest band in the history of pop-rock: the Beatles. The title - which evokes one of the Beatles most famous songs : 'Let It Be' - and the cover - which winks an eye at their psychedelic masterpiece 'Yellow Submarine' - accompany a kaleidoscope of songs ranging from the classics of the early years of the Fab Four, as 'She Loves You', to the evergreen recordings of their last years of activity like 'Come Together', all rigorously reviewed in their swing style, which has now become Sugarpie's trademark sound. The Album is a studio reworking of one of their Live Shows dedicated to the Beatles and Louis Armstrong which was first performed at the 'Ascona Jazz Festival' in summer 2014. It was then repeated at Umbria Jazz 2015, and on the famous Web TV Show called Web Notte. The main feature of the Album is the way it was recorded Live almost entirely in a single session in the Studio and the great originality of the arrangements and the feeling of freshness of the performance. Sugarpie and the Candymen have strongly wanted to prove with this record their devotion and their love for the magical band from Liverpool. Not to be missed! (Melody Maker)

Adam Lee & The Dead Horse Sound Company - When The Spirits Move Me '10
I was really impressed with the songwriting and authentic style, and for you neo-traditionalist, classic country nuts like myself, it will be right down your alley. Adam Lee likes to drink, and then write songs and sing about it with a voice somewhere near the slickness of Dale Watson, that can also limbo down looowww like Junior Brown, all while holding himself like a slightly plumper version of Pokey LaFarge. You may get pulled in the door with the voice, but you will stick around for the songwriting. (Saving Country Music)
All original honky-tonk from the heartland. Twelve brand-new and swinging tunes that sound right at home in a rowdy roadhouse or beer joint jukebox.

thanks a lot for Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets - The Quality Holiday Revue Live!
Nicki with the strongest group since Rockpile or His Cowboy Outfit! Love his songs like "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love And Understanding", "Cruel To Be Kind", "I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass", "Heart", "Half A Boy And Half A Man", "Breakaway", "I Knew the Bride (when she used to rock'n'roll)" aaah enough! For me he wrote countless greatest POP HITS and since last year my absolute fave xmas song is "Christmas At The Airport"! It overtook "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by John & Yoko & The Plastic Ono Band With The Harlem Community Choir and "Fairytale Of New York" by the Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl...
Thanks Gyro
The Xmas tunes will be appreciated with a nice glass of Red on the day
