Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - The Fever; The Remastered Epic Recordings (1976-1979) 2017

The sound quality on this new set is top notch. I expected a sonic upgrade here but this set is superior to the 2004 BGO re-master of the first two albums from the UK. The Live At The Bottom Line material sounds better than the 1995 Japanese CD which already sounded great. Hearts Of Stone is the real gem here in terms of improved sound quality over any previous CD releases. Highly recommended. (The Asbury Press)

Here at last is the anthology Jukes fans have been waiting for, the one that not only includes all four albums the group cut with Miami Steve Van Zandt (including the CD debut of the promo-only LP Jukes Live at the Bottom Line), but also finally, finally presents this seminal body of work in newly remastered form. Indeed, the Epic recordings of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, the crucial early sides that made their reputation (and featured a ton of Springsteen/E Street Band spillover), have long suffered from indifferent sound and packaging, as all reissues have been taken from the same digital masters made at the dawn of the CD era. The Fever—The Remastered Epic Recordings changes all that—all four Epic albums including I Don’t Want to Go Home, Jukes Live at the Bottom Line, This Time It’s for Real, and Hearts of Stone (plus the single version of “Havin’ a Party”) appear here in brand-new, sparkling versions remastered from the original master tapes by Mark Wilder at Battery Studios in New York. What’s more, the 2-CD, 40-track collection offers new liner notes by Chris Morris that feature fresh quotes from Southside Johnny himself, and Bruce Springsteen’s original liner notes for I Don’t Want to Go Home. Speaking of Springsteen, his fingerprints are all over these projects, with such songs as “The Fever,” “Little Girl So Fine,” “Love on the Wrong Side of Town,” “When You Dance,” “Talk to Me,” “Trapped Again,” and “Hearts of Stone” all written or co-written by The Boss, while Van Zandt not only produced all four Epic albums but wrote much of the repertoire. But the real star here, of course, is Southside Johnny himself, one of the great white R&B singers of this or any other time, backed by a crack band including The Miami Horns and with such special guests as Ronnie Spector, The Coasters, The Drifters, and The Five Satins. Joyful, soulful music finally sounding the way it oughtta! (Allmusic)

This contains all of the recordings he made for MGM Records in the late '50s, when he was trying to follow in the footsteps of Elvis. Naturally, there's a lot of rockabilly on this collection -- which he did very well -- as well as some ballads that hint at his future country career. In between are some of his very best moments, including "It's Only Make Believe," "Mona Lisa," "Is A Bluebird Blue," and "Lonely Blue Boy." (Allmusic)

Mott The Hoople - Mad Shadows (1970, Remastered 2003)

Mad Shadows has become my favorite Mott the Hoople album. It is often referred to as their darkest record, and after listening to Ian Hunter's haunting "When My Mind's Gone," you will understand why. The album is bookended by heavy rockers "Thunderbuck Ram" and the bonus track "How Long?" Psychedelic jams ("Threads of Iron") and country rock (the Mick Ralphs-penned and sung "It Would Be A Pleasure"), plus more hard rock ("Walking With a Mountain") await the listener between those two tracks. The Angel Air-released version also contains valuable liner notes which offer insight into the somewhat chaotic recording process.
Ultimately, Mad Shadows is an underrated classic that you'll come back to again and again. If you're a fan of classic hard rock with great songwriting and performances, this album should be in your collection. (Shindig)

1. Thunderbuck Ram
  2. No Wheels To Ride
  3. You Are One Of Us
  4. Walkin' With A Mountain
  5. I Can Feel
  6. Threads Of Iron
  7. When My Mind'S Gone

Jessie Lee Miller - Waiting (2006)

On her 2006 album, Now You’re Gonna Be Loved, Austin-based singer Jessie Lee Miller proved she had perfected the poised pose and pitch of mid-1950s western-swing. So faithful was her sound that she inevitably drew comparisons to Patsy Cline. 
On Waiting, Miller again recalls the stars of country’s golden era, but this time she widens her stylistic palette to include rhythm and blues, big band jazz, rockabilly, and even a few little touches of Tejano, as well. Perhaps as a result of her decision to self-produce this album, her voice, too, is more varied. Though still possessing that depth, strength, and haunting quality associated most closely in popular consciousness with Cline, there is clear evidence of Miller’s other probable vocal influences. Texas Ruby springs to mind on several tracks, as do country pioneer Jean Shepard, honky-tonk hell-raiser Charline Arthur, and hillbilly queen Rose Maddox. Whether she’s the sultry chanteuse or the feisty firecracker, it’s obvious that Jessie Lee Miller knows her musical history.

01. People Fall In Love Like That
02. Good Lokin' No Good
03. Always October
04. Runaround
05. Waiting
06. Loved By You
07. If You Asked A Million Times
08. Insincere Words
09. I'm Yours, You're Mine
10. I Think I'll Let Myself
11. When You
12. Shameless Tomorrow
13. Hard To Admit

The Great British Psychedelic Trip Vol. 3 (1965-1970, See For Miles 1993 CD)

While the first two CDs in this series cover more obscure recordings of the psychedelic era, this volume, drawn from the vaults of EMI, includes some better-remembered artists, such as the (Jimmy Page-era) Yardbirds, the Pretty Things (here with songs from their seminal concept album S.F. Sorrow), and Tomorrow. Also on hand are future stars Dave Edmunds in Love Sculpture and Jeff Lynne in the Idle Race. The collection includes some first-rate examples of British psychedelia -- such as Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle," and July's "Friendly Man," and "We Are the Moles" (by, of course, the Moles) -- but also reaches a bit forward to a time when the music became heavier and less farout, hence the Gods' hard-hitting "Real Love Guaranteed" and Love Sculpture's storming hyperdrive version of Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance." (Love Sculpture's other entry here, "In the Land of the Few," is an overlooked gem.) There are also some not-very-psychedelic pop sounds, in the Kippington Lodge tracks (which are the weakest things here) and Lemon Tree's "It's So Nice to Come Home." Keith West's orchestrated magnum opus "Excerpt from 'A Teenage Opera'" can't be called psychedelic either, but it and most everything here has an engaging period feel and expansive spirit. The only track that really doesn't seem to belong is David Bowie's "You've Got a Habit of Leaving," a "freakbeat" single recorded in 1965 (two years before anything else on the collection) when he was still using his original name, Davy Jones. Altogether, an enjoyable journey. (Allmusic)

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - !!Going Places!! (1965, Remastered 2015)

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass were rolling right down the middle of the American pop scene like a locomotive in 1966 -- and this album captures them at the peak of their exuberance. By now, there really was a live, touring edition of the Tijuana Brass, and there was an easily identifiable TJB sound, with its strummed Latin American guitars, twin trumpet leads, delicate marimba or vibes (played by Julius Wechter of Baja Marimba Band fame in the studio), and strong grooves rooted in Latin American music, jazz, and rock. Alpert's family of sidemen and composers were busy generating their own catchy hits, like Wechter's deadly, infectious "Spanish Flea," and the tragically short-lived Ervan Coleman's wonderfully goofy "Tijuana Taxi." The bossman's trumpet could be joyous, mocking, and melancholy in turns, and his choices of tunes totally unpredictable; who else would dare juxtapose "The 3rd Man Theme," "Walk, Don't Run," "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," and "Zorba the Greek" on one record? No other TJB record has as much unbuttoned fun and humor as this one -- and not surprisingly, it spent six weeks at number one in 1966. (Allmusic)

  2. I’m Getting Sentimental Over You
  3. More And More Amor
