…However the trumpeter, tenor-saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Victor Sproles and drummer Billy Higgins all play quite well on the title cut, two of Morgan's songs (the bossa nova "Eclipso" is somewhat memorable), a ballad tribute to Billie Holiday and Wayne Shorter's "Edda." This album is worth picking up but it is not essential. - AllMusic Review by Scott Yanowmembers:
Lee Morgan - trumpet / Joe Henderson - tenor sax / Ronnie Mathews - piano / Victor Sproles - bass / Billy Higgins - drums

..."The Gal I Left Behind Me," "Cattle Call," "Home on the Range," and "Oh! Suzannah!" are all collected here alongside the amazing performance by the Sons of the Pioneers of the dark, yet joyous, "Hold That Critter Down" and Powder River Jack Lee's humorous and cocky run-through of "Tying a Knot in the Devil's Tail." This set is put together nicely in that the first disc in the set of two is devoted to actual singing cowboys such as J.D. Farley and Jules Verne Allen, while the second disc is devoted to the stars of the early Hollywood Westerns like Gene Autry, Patsy Montana, and Roy Rogers providing a nice compact study showing how much influence authentic cowboys had on the music moviegoers heard from the musical Westerns with which the culture was so obsessed at the time.by Gregory McIntosh, ALLMUSIC
...I have sentimental reasons for loving his music. Various songs are on his Kayama Yuzo No Subete album, others were on singles and compact 33 1/3 records that held four songs. Three Blue Stars is the instrumental version of the vocal version of AOI HOSHI KUZU, which translates to Blue Stardust. The one sound track that I have been hunting for since I first heard it in his movie EREKI NO WAKADAISHO, is the instrumental version of RUNNING DONKEY. I first watched the movie back in 1966, hearing running donkey in the background of the football scenes. The vocal country version of Running Donkey is also on his Kayama Yuzo no Subete album. Running Donkey is his best electric guitar piece in my opinion. The original BLACK SAND BEACH is on the Kayama No Subete album along with a country vocal version of RUNNING DONKEY.

…Se trata de su séptimo material -incluyendo uno en vivo- y en donde los argentinos demuestran lo aprendido a lo largo de tantos años como banda. Ellos convierten el fuzz en un instrumento musical más, además, el sonido compacto y bien ejecutado de los 4 integrantes de la banda es envidiable.

Soul Time is overseen by long time Northern Soul fan Joe Boy, who has been imaginatively compiling the genre for many years and most recently for Outta Sight. Casino Classics was a club label created in 1978 by DJ Russ Winstanley (founder of the famed Wigan Casino All-Nighter) and Casino manager Mike Walker. It was distributed by the newly formed R.K. Records owned by Robert and Barry Kingston the production team behind many earlier homegrown records on the Spark label. Between 1978 and 1980, Casino Classics issued a steady stream of 45s and two compilation albums, Chapters One and Two combining some of the scene ' s most memorable American originals with other tracks recorded especially for the label. Following the closure of the Casino in 1981 the final Chapter was released featuring tracks compiled and recorded before the demise of the club. Casino Classics' Complete Collection is the first time that these best-selling albums have ever been released on CD. This beautifully-curated 3-CD set boasts everything issued on the Casino Classics label back in the day, including every album and every single. Among the US originals are enduring Northern hits by Gloria Jones ('Tainted Love', as covered by Soft Cell), 'Sliced Tomatoes' by Just Brothers (famously sampled by Fatboy Slim) and the immortal 'three before eight' end-of-the-nighters by Dean Parrish, Tobi Legend (Melody Maker)

...The Instromotor tracks are is dark, fuzzoidal, punky, heavy rock instrumentals with one foot on a surfboard and the other on a Harley! The Fuzzriders tracks infuse lots of jazz and other elements, and are generally much lighter, though they too have their heavy moments. A huge slab of great stuff. - Phil Dirt
..."Live 2011" documents the last night of live music at Sydney's Surry Hills Excelsior (R.I.P.) and the band's decision to record their set was not untypical on a whim. Praise the lord and all that. In-house soundman Dylan Mitrovich's mix was (is) a killer. Rob Younger's vocal is probably a tad buried but Brent Williams' production is otherwise punchy, transparent and balanced. You can hear every note and the bottom end sound has traction.
Super fun collection of soul, blues, R&B, instro, and rock 'n' roll from the original 45's. (From my record collection.)

...Dave & Deke's accent on the hillbilly side of rockabilly put them ahead of the roots music curve and they developed solid pockets of fans in America and England. Following the lead of Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys and legendary 1950s rockabilly Ronnie Dawson, they signed a one-shot recording deal with Barney Koumis' No Hit label in England. Their full-length debut, Moonshine Melodies, cost a mere $400 to produce. Dickerson himself considers their second LP for Heydey, the eclectic jumping Hollywood Barndance, to be the duo's most enduring musical achievement.

...In a dramatic fashion, foreign agents and G-Men try to seize the inventions for themselves. A 78-minute feature film version of the film, cut down from the serial's original 265 minutes, was released for television showing in 1949.
...Initially started as a one-off to record a single ("Face a New God," 1981, now worth big money down under), the band did not perform until 1983 when Younger assembled an all-star lineup featuring members of the Celibate Rifles, Birdman, and a future Hoodoo Guru to tour with Iggy Pop, then making his first venture down under. Younger, perhaps Australia's most charismatic frontman, apparently left Pop (who, it must be noted, had a relatively inferior band) in the dust. Several singles and lineups followed and the debut album, Distemper, was not released until 1989. That version of the band included Charlie Owen (Divinyls, Louis Tillett, Tex Perkins) on guitar; then unknown, he is now renowned as one of Australia's finest musicians. A greatest-hits CD (or as Younger puts it, "the songs I can still stand") called Born Out of Time, named after perhaps the band's finest single, was released in Canada in 1996. The 2" tape transfer gave the songs a sonic quality not heard on the original versions. Younger had the band up and running again with the Pedestal EP in 1995, Woe Betide in 1996, and Lower Yourself in 1997. - Artist Biography by Geoff Ginsberg
trax:
…The familiar names are all here: Irma Thomas, Aaron Neville, Eddie Bo, Bobby Marchan but so are the lesser known but fabulous Ray Washington, Berna Dean, Martha Carter and Chuck Carbo. So prepare to be blown away by some of the most exciting, deep and affecting sounds that ever came from Louisiana and made their way into soul as we know it.
…There's a change in the band as well -- founding member Frank Brunetti departed, leaving the keyboards to new guy, John Hoey, while Steve Clark took over bass duties from Mark Lock. The end result was a refocusing of the band around Brett Myers' guitar work, with Hoey providing shade more than anything else, while the songs themselves had a slightly cleaner -- dare it be said, more radio friendly? -- feeling to them. It isn't unsuccessful by any means, but it's not quite the same band as before, with a touch more conventional American heartland rock to their sound. Ron S. Peno's vocals sound fuller and richer -- not a minus in the slightest, of course! -- and the band can more easily be imagined at a good local bar stateside. This all said, there's real drama and threat on Every Brilliant Eye, ensuring that Died Pretty are in no danger of approaching mainstream banality. The slow burn of "The Underbelly" is a great example of the band's continuing powers, with the Clark/Chris Welsh rhythm section providing some strong body slams, Hoey's piano appropriately forceful, and Peno's vocals at their considerable best. Then there's "True Fools Fall," a simply lovely number with a great synth arrangement with, once again, Peno nailing it. The group can still get out a good energetic rocker or two as they go -- single "Whitlam Square" is just fierce enough, while "Prayer" is a slamming, active romp, with a great Peno vocal and searing Myers solo to go with it. Guest performers assist once more, notably fine violinist/The Black Watch member J'anna Jacoby -- check out her excellent work on "Face Toward the Sun" -- but it's all down to the band, and they come through once more. - AllMusic Review by Ned Raggett
...being only 14 years of age at that time, they were indeed young. Their debut album "King of The Hill" was released in 2005. Instrumental album "Good Behaviour?" was released in 2007. Mikko Vainonen is the main man handling the axe duties and he does a fine job. "Out of The border is the third CD by The Youngers and they have appeared on many compilations too. Not a lot of twang here, but solid energetic playing is abundant. - DWM
...Younger croons a bit more than he bellows on Gloria, but he still brings gale-force passion and impact to these 11 songs (all of which he either wrote or co-wrote), and his balance between full-bodied melodicism and a punk's declamatory intensity is as impressive as ever; more than 30 years into his career he remains one of the greatest voices of Australian rock & roll. And if his band isn't as powerful and visionary as Radio Birdman...well, who is? Judged on their own merits, the New Christs throw up a mighty wall of guitar-based rock & roll here, with Dave Kettley's leads sounding as muscular as Charles Atlas, Jim Dickson and Stuart Wilson holding down the backbeat with plenty of power and just the right touch of swing, and Brent Williams adding some nice textures on keys and guitar. Gloria manages to sound rich and atmospheric while rocking powerfully hard, and while Birdman fans might wish for something faster/louder/leaner, this is still unabashed grand-scale rock from a guy who can sing it right and a band that can keep up with him all the way. - AllMusic Review by Mark Deming

So prepare to be blown away by some of the most exciting, deep and affecting sounds that ever came from Louisiana and made their way into soul as we know it.
…While the rest of the album retreats to a more conventional hard bop sound, Morgan's compositions are forward-thinking and universally solid. Only 25 at the time of its release, Morgan was accomplished (and perhaps cocky) enough to speak of mentoring the great Joe Henderson, who at 26 was just beginning to play dates with Blue Note after getting out of the military. Henderson makes a major contribution to the album, especially on "Totem Pole," where his solos showed off his singular style, threatening to upstage Morgan, who is also fairly impressive here. Barry Harris, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins are all in good form throughout the album as well, and the group works together seamlessly to create an album that crackles with energy while maintaining a stylish flow. - AllMusic Review by Stacia Proefrock

If you have not listened to the Ziggens yet then this is the album to buy. If you liked Sublime you might like The Ziggens. The Ziggens were a major influence in Sublime's music and can be heard in some of their songs. I am a major sublime fan and I just bought this CD 3 weeks ago and it has not come out of my CD player since. It is really an amazing blend of so many different types of music but they do it in their own way. Most of the songs make you feel like surfing, especially the songs on the Surf CD. I have never surfed but this is the music I would listen to if I was going surfing. There is also a lot of punk rock in thier music as well as country, polka and some other things I don't know how to describe. You really have to buy this CD it's awesome. PLUS, it's impossible to download, I tried. Don't even bother I never buy CD's but I bought this one because it's impossible to download. Overall Rating - A++++ - Leonardo J. Rodriguez
trax disc 2 "Surf Classics":
...In 1986 Barracudas bass player Jim Dickson returned to Australia from the UK and together with Younger started a new line-up. Featured were Charlie Owen, a gifted but as yet unknown guitarist and drummer Louis Burdett who soon left to be replaced by Nick Fisher who had played with Ed Kuepper and Wet Taxis. This line-up released a series of hard hitting singles Black Hole, Headin' South, Another Sin and the EP Dropping Like Flies. These tracks were compiled under the title Divine Rites, whose European release allowed the group to tour there for the first time.

...It's still not as good as their exceptional L.A. Explosion (1979), the unreleased Look Again (1980) -- hey SST! Issue this! -- and French import Painting Smiles on a Dead Man (1983), yet it's miles better than 99 percent of today's guitar pop. Singer/guitarist/songwriter Joe Nolte perfected this style two decades before it became cool, and shows no signs of having misplaced anything during the layoff. The music is crisp, the lyrics astute (no one is immune to the uncomfortable "It's Not That Way," where the singer is paralyzed by fear on how to turn a platonic relationship into a physical one). Add brother Mike Nolte, still rounding out the effortless, trademark Nolte harmonies, and a broader palette, and Gin makes six for six. On the minus side, a few lesser tracks could have been edited, but on the plus side, sympathetic producer Earle Mankey, a Paisley Underground legend, is more versatile than Descendents/All drummer Bill Stevenson, who did the last two. Mankey mines a deeper bass sound and lovelier shimmer for the pretty tracks, which hearken back to their vintage brilliance, "Sirens," "Song/Unordinary Substance," and "You Won't Win." Give the Last a chance if it's the last thing you do. - AllMusic Review by Jack Rabid

The Ziggens have become one of my favorite bands over the past month as I've gotten all their CD's and listened to them almost constantly. I now own all their CD's from Wake Up and Smell... to Greatest Zits (which I had bought first). The only one I'm waiting for in the mail is the live album. This was their last studio album and it was really great. A ton of great songs with personal favorites being I'm Gonna Miss You, Just the Way You Aren't, Pistol Pete (one of their best songs ever IMO), Rincon, I Fought the Lawn, Not So Much (another amazing song), and Beat to Pieces. I'm glad they went out with a great album. All their albums are great. I guess part of their appeal is their songs are suitable for all ages, which is nice if you have children. And their surf songs are just killer. On all their albums. I can see why Bradley Nowell liked this band so much. Definitely a band that many people have never heard of, but they are the genuine article. Very sonically sound, while at the same time their lyrics are great as well. Glad I took a chance on these guys and haven't regretted it since. - A. Brunelle
