Al Perry & The Cattle "Losin' Hand" 1995

You may upset Al Perry by referring to him, as so many do, as "legendary," since this implies a less-than-contemporary stance among pioneer hardcore rock innovators…
...Far from retired, the venerated guitarist and songwriter has been a fixture on the Tucson-based roots-rock and alt/country scene for decades, widely credited as one of the first musicians to successfully perform "punked-out country" to timelessly adoring audiences worldwide. His ensemble band (The Cattle features interchangeable members, including longtime bassist Dave Roads, drummer Tommy Larkins (who tours with Jonathan Richman), and the Resonars' Matt Rendon. Al and a 1997 version of the Cattle produced Losin' Hand, which is universally hailed, particularly by imitative musicians, as a hallmark of severely cool, intelligent country punk. Musicians dotting the map since the early 1980's mention Losin' Hand as a landmark reocrd of country/punk alchemy, influencing the musical careers of desert rock bands Flathead, Gila Bend, Giant Sand, Calexico, the Lazy Cowgirls, and many others. An occasional actor who pops up in independent and studio films and a celebrated Tucson deejay, Al has been described as "tremendously versatile," "the best musician to happen to another musician" and "a lifetime of influence" (Greg Swanholm, Flathead). Al's discography includes recordings with Marshmallow Overcoat, Rich Hardesty and the Del-Reys, Dan Stuart, Giant Sand, Fish Karma, and The Richies, as well as nearly a dozen compilation albums, including a tribute album to CCR's John Fogerty.

The Vietnam Veterans "A Fistful of Love" 2014

By the way, the band is now a quartet! James has left us and maybe left music…
…Martin is back on drums and Lucas on Keyboards with Peter McConnel on bass. Peter is a multi talented american boy who can play any instrument from clarinet to sitar! He’s mostly a great guy and he fits perfectly in the band! We’ve recorded a great album together, “A Fistful of Love” and are now ready for more tours... To be continued... Mark

DOGS "Shakin' With The Dogs" 1989

2002 October 10th, during the US Tour, Dominique dies!
1982
The third album Too much class for the neighbourhood is recorded in London at the Battery Studio and it is produced by Tony Platt (Trust, AC/DC). It is released in June. Criticism from the papers is unanimous: the album becomes a reference. It sells well in Belgium, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Israel and South Africa. Gig with the Fleshtones at the Palace in Paris on April 15th. Big French, Swiss and Belgian tour during the autumn (35 dates). British tour (15 dates, opening for Dr Feelgood). The band takes part in Vincent Lamy’s «Echo des Bananes» on FR3 (French television channel) with several live songs from Too much class for the neighbourhood.
1983
The fourth album Legendary Lovers is recorded in London and produced by Vic Maile (Inmates, Dr Feelgood, Eddie and the Hot Rods). It amazingly covers Gene Vincent’s Bird Doggin’. The record is released in October and it is as well-received as the previous one by the rock papers ; it is even declared third album of the year by the monthly magazine «Best». A French tour starts in November.
1984
Big European tour: France, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Germany. Release of the single Secrets (French version) as well as Mon coeur bat encore / Down at Lulu’s produced by Jeff Eyrich (Plimsouls, Gun Club) with the guest appearance by Calamités. The Dogs take part in the TV programme «Les Enfants du Rock» in March.
1985
The band follows Marc Zemati’s (manager) advice to record Shout live at the prodigious Rockfield Studio in Wales (Dave Edmunds produced –among others- Stray Cats and Flamin’ Groovies there). Dave Charles (Dave Edmunds’ drummer) plays the invaluable role of sound engineer. At the start the band had money to record a single ; they make an album (sound mixing included) in only 6 days. Gigs in France and tour in Europe (Scandinavia, Spain) and in Japan. The Dogs also play in Berlin with Sean Tyla and Nick Lowe.
1986
Back to London to record the sixth album More, More, More. The record is produced by Bob Andrews (Graham Parker and the Rumour’s keyboard) and Colin Fairley (Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe’s sound engineer). The band takes part in Gilles Tandy’s (ex Olivensteins) album La colère monte produced by Dominique. Gilles Tandy will open some Dogs’ gigs afterwards. The Dogs appear at the Printemps de Bourges. - from their biography at:

Hoodoo Gurus "Mars Needs Guitars!" 1985

"I'm a Stoneage Romeo, I got a Spaceage Juliet, We'll take guitars to Mars and hit the discotheque, c'mon!"
I still think "Stoneage Romeos" is the best Gurus album, but this is an excellent follow up, featuring new drummer Mark Kingsmill who had played alongside guitarist Brad Shepherd in the Radio Birdman spin-off The Hitmen. There's still some rocking Flamin' Groovies/Dolls/ Nuggets-inspired pop, but Dave Faulkner's songwriting blossomed into genuinely touching ballads ("Death Defying") and a tongue in cheek country number ("Hayride To Hell"). Best songs are the power pop classic "Bittersweet" and the ridiculously catchy "Like Wow-Wipout!" which is fun, fun, fun! reviever: dunno

Marcel Kruup "Kruup 6x4" 2007

There are, of course, always artists who can't do with one band. Well-known examples are Jack White, who is not only in the White Stripes, but also in The Raconteurs, and Slipknot members Corey Taylor and James Root, who are also in Stone Sour...
…The Dutch guitarist and drummer Marcel Kruup is not enough for one band either. In his 35-year music career, he played in countless bands and often in many at the same time. Six of these tapes have now been collected on the CD 6 x 4. The album starts with four songs from Los Tiki Boys. This band plays surf music in the line of The Treble Spankers (which also included Marcel Kruup). Especially opener ‘Drag Boy’ also has some rock ‘n’ roll influences. Following are four songs from The Herb Spectacles. This group is named after and influenced by Herb Alpert and therefore plays mariacchi. Four songs from The Hik follow The Herb Spectacles. This band plays sixties beat that is indistinguishable from the real thing. The tracks had not been noticed by one of the Nuggets collectors. One of the songs ("War Or Hands Of Time") is also on Nuggets II, albeit in the implementation of The Masters Apprentices. The Beach Boys song "Girl Don't Tell Me" also gets a sixties beat treatment and sounds very convincing in this version. This also applies to the other three songs from this band, which I think is the best of the six collected on this album. The following four numbers are from Golana (the reverse of analog). This band plays fairly relaxed jazz with a leading role for saxophone and keys. This is followed by The Hangouts, a band with a preference for The Everly Brothers, who expresses themselves in the lead role for the acoustic guitar and rather moderate (together) vocals. This is clearly the weakest band of the bunch. The Parlandos can close 6 x 4. They describe their music as pelicana, but few people will say anything. Think of jazz, but then influenced by various world music styles.6 x 4 gives a good impression of the musical glutton that is Marcel Kruup. Despite the different styles, the album does sound as a whole. However, for many people it will all be a bit too diverse. - https://www.festivalinfo.nl

Golden Earring "Switch" 1975

After the success of Moontan, Golden Earring could have easily parlayed its success into international stardom by continuing to play up that album's commercial elements...
...Instead, the group did an about-face, pursuing uncommercial song themes and pushing the prog rock side of its sound to the fore (this move included the addition of Dutch prog rock keyboardist Robert Jan Stips, formerly of Supersister, to the lineup). The band even lampooned the sexy cover art of its recent hit album with a similar cover that replaced the gorgeous showgirl on Moontan with a marionette. The result is an album that lacks the consistent sound and coherence of Moontan, but makes up for it with an adventurous spirit and plenty of instrumental firepower. Highlights include "Love Is a Rodeo," a tune that starts as a thrilling guitar rocker before taking a sudden left turn into a finger-snapping instrumental coda dominated by synthesizer, and "Kill Me (Ce Soir)," a mystical epic that starts with a pulsating bassline and builds to a thunderous, orchestrated climax as its lyrics present a surprisingly incisive portrait of how society inevitably destroys its idols. A downside is that, by encompassing so many different styles, the songs lack the logical flow that would allow Switch to feel like a full, cohesive album. Another problem is that the lyrics have a bitter and defensive tinge (especially on "The Switch," a hard-edged explanation of the group's artistic rationale) that sometimes sits at odds with the exciting quality of the music. Despite these problems, Switch remains a solid album that Golden Earring's fan base will enjoy; the disc might also appeal to adventurous fans of prog and hard rock. - Review by Donald A. Guarisco

The Vietnam Veterans "The Further Adventures Of The Vietnam Veterans As The Gitanes: Strange Girl" 2009

Bucketful Of Brains once wrote: 'Souls must have been sold for a performance like this' -- This is the best album ever to come out of France - Beware! - Adults only.
The return of The Vietnam Veterans is a fact. Nobody, not even The Vietnam Veterans, expected this to happen. We write the year 2009 and most psychedelic acid-heads still remember the legendary cult-band from Chalon Sur Saone, France THE VIETNAM VETERANS with their stunning hypnotizing music. Their last album was released in 1987 - Now 21 years later they return with a mesmerizing new product also known as The Gitanes. Mark Enbatta and Lucas Trouble always remained close friends through the years. Lucas was busy recording wild music in his now legendary Kaiser Studios and Mark continuously made people hear again. They got together with James Kiput and Eric Lenoir, played some try-outs in Greece and the karma was back. The Vietnam Veterans sound wasn't gone. It was even present more than ever. The four lunatics went into the studio and here you can judge the result. A brand-new album full with 72 minutes hypnotic psychedelic music: The true Vietnam Veterans sound.

DOGS "SHOUT!" 1985

Le groupe se nomme ainsi en référence aux nombreux titres de chansons qu'il aimait comportant le mot « dog ». Tout en reprenant des titres des Flamin’ Groovies, Kinks, du Velvet Underground, il commence vite à écrire ses propres compositions personnelles en anglais. Les premiers concerts ont lieu au casino de Saint-Valery-en-Caux, et divers lieux de la côte normande...
...En 1974, les Dogs passent au Golf Drouot à Paris, où leur participation est relativement mouvementée. À cette occasion, Philippe Manœuvre écrit avec enthousiasme le premier article élogieux dans le magazine musical Rock & Folk no 95 sur ce fameux concert
D'autres concerts ont lieu en première partie de Little Bob Story, alors autre illustre représentant de la scène rock haute-normande.
En janvier 1978, ils enregistrent leur premier 45-tours (3 titres) avec Charlie was a good boy, No Way, Nineteen sur le label rouennais Mélodies Massacre.
Il y a eu un autre 45 tours du label Mélodie Massacre en 1978. Un disque de 5 titres nommé Go where you want to go, avec Teenage fever, Go where you want to go, Here come my baby, My life, et You're gonna loose me.
Pendant les années suivantes, les Dogs se produisent essentiellement en France, en Europe et au Japon, et réalisent une dizaine d'albums studio. Ils se situent résolument hors-mode pendant toutes ces années, composant un rock and roll sans concessions chanté en anglais. Dominique Laboubée effectuera également diverses collaborations (entre autres sur l'album de Louise Féron), productions et écriture pour d'autres artistes (Cesium, Tony Truant, Chainsaw…).
En 2001 sort un enregistrement public Short, Fast and Tight. Leurs ventes de disques sont toujours restées moyennes en France, mais leur réputation et leur influence sur la scène rock française fut très importante, revendiquée par Les Thugs, par exemple.
Le 9 octobre 2002, Dominique Laboubée, créateur, chanteur, compositeur, instrumentiste du groupe, s'écroule sur scène lors d'une tournée aux États-Unis, à Worcester, Massachusetts, et meurt à 45 ans. En 2006 paraît un recueil de vingt-deux nouvelles Stories of The Dogs - Histoires pour Dominique, hommage à Dominique Laboubée et aux Dogs à travers nouvelles et récits inspirés par leur répertoire et écrits par des auteurs de polar (éditions Krakoen). Parallèlement un double CD de quarante-huit reprises du répertoire des Dogs complète cet hommage Stories Of The Dogs - Songs For Dominique. Depuis le 12 juillet 2007, la place de la rue Massacre2 à Rouen, située devant l'ancien disquaire Mélodies Massacre porte le nom de « Place Dominique Laboubée, auteur-compositeur, 1957-2002 ». Cette place s'orne à présent d'un portrait de Dominque Laboubée. - wiki

Al Perry & The Cattle "Frontier Flirt" 1992

This is the house
That all my troubles built
I live at the end of Blue Street
In a town called Loserville.
When your true love's gone
And you're down to your last cent
In this neighborhood
There's always a place to rent.
- Al Perry, "Loserville"
Al Perry’s guitar playing on this album proves he’s heavily influenced by guitar greats like Link Wray, and by traditional blues. There is no real category to put The Cattle into, although this album has blues favor, it contains plenty of garage style and even a little thrash.

Hoodoo Gurus "Stoneage Romeos" 1984

"Whoo Doo That Guru?"
A big call, but the Hoodoo Gurus deliver. With influences from all the sixties garage psych, punk bands and so much more, the Gurus brought it into the eighties. Not a dud track to be heard, with great guitars, pounding drums, rockin' basslines and best of all, catchy melodies. The album version of Leilani is much better than the single (sans bass player) and I Want You Back just makes you tap your feet and sing along. For those people not in Oz, you would've missed out on some fine music videos, particularly the plastiscene dinosaurs in I Want You Back, as well as the much better original cover. If you only own one Australian album, this is the one (or get a greatest hits compilation if you really must). Following albums were not as good, but just about every single they released was a killer. - Reviewer: "sequeiraj" (Sydney, Australia)

"The Mood Mosaic" Vol 4 Les Yper Sound!

Funky funky funky – way more so than you might think from the hokey title! The set's overflowing with rare instrumentals pulled from the indie label and funky 45’s.
After a couple of volumes that pursued specific themes, the Mood Mosaic lounge series returned to a grab-bag approach on its fourth installment. Thankfully, it is a good grab bag. Mood Mosaic, Vol. 4: Les Yper Sound contains everything from bossa nova and jazz to synth-spiked soul and psychedelic pop, but it works nicely because the cuts are all catchy and share a pleasant, easy listening feel despite their differing genres. Highlights in the jazz vein include "Sound Machine," a smooth Oliver Nelson cut whose stately, horn-led melody periodically breaks for some nice electric piano solos, and an elegant, sax-driven version of "The Look of Love" by Stan Getz. In the psychedelic arena, some of the best cuts are Peter Thomas' organ-fuelled instrumental reworking of "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Bond Street," an Enoch Light cut that spices up its peppy, easy listening version of this Bacharach instrumental with bleeping synthesizers and some wild stereo-separation effects. There are also plenty of tracks with a bossa beat, the best being Connie Francis' "Bossa Nova Hand Dance," a tune that finds the vocalist slickly crooning in both Spanish and English, and an instrumental version of "Mas Que Nada," by John Scott, that replaces the vocal melody with a combination of slick organ leads and jazzy horns. There's also the occasional fun novelty; the most amusing is Gary McFarland's "Bloop Bleep," which features the vocalist complaining about the sleep-thwarting sound of a dripping faucet while the band grooves along behind him in a Latin jazz style. In short, Mood Mosaic, Vol. 4: Les Yper Sound is an eclectic batch of delights, but they all flow into each other because all the cuts benefit from the tight, pop-flavored arrangements and the slick production that defines the best lounge music. As a result, Mood Mosaic, Vol. 4: Les Yper Sound is a worthwhile spin for anyone who enjoys lounge music in all its diverse forms. (Allmusic)

"Hits Greatest Stiffs" 1977

Hits Greatest Stiffs is a various artists compilation album, drawn from ten of the first eleven Stiff Records singles, BUY 1 to BUY 11...
...The tracks follow the numerical order of the singles, but feature mostly the B-sides, although several singles were originally issued as double A-sides. The other sides of the Motörhead and Elvis Costello tracks had appeared on the previous compilation album, A Bunch of Stiff Records. The missing single from the sequence (BUY 10) was "Neat Neat Neat"/"Stab Your Back"/"Singalongascabies" by the Damned[1] whereas both sides of the Tyla Gang's single were included on this album. The inner sleeve included pictures of numerous artists, such as Abba and Tom Petty, who appeared on other labels. Although some thought this was some form of slight, they were shown because Stiff admired them, despite their being on other labels. The album did not enter the UK charts. However, it featured some of the most influential recording artists of the new wave era. Issued as an LP (FIST 1) on 16 September 1977, it was also issued on Cassette (ZFIST 1) on 22 October 1977. It has not been re-released on CD. - wiki

Rory Gallagher "Calling Card" 1976

Gallagher's second album for Chrysalis -- and last with his longstanding trio of Lou Martin (keyboards), Rod De'Ath (drums) and Gerry McAvoy (bass) -- was a milestone in his career...
...Although Calling Card was produced by Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover and not surprisingly contained some of his most powerfully driving rockers, tracks like the acoustic "Barley & Grape Rag" and the jazzy, soulful, finger snapping title cut -- a perennial concert favorite -- found the Irish rocker not only exploring other musical paths, but also caught him on one of his most consistent songwriting streaks ever. Even "Do You Read Me," the muscular opening track, is a remarkably stripped-down affair that adds subtle synths to the rugged blues rock that was Gallagher's claim to fame. While "Moonchild," "Country Mile," and "Secret Agent" displayed catchy hooks, engaging riffs, and raging guitar work (the latter adds a touch of Deep Purple's Jon Lord-styled organ to the proceedings), it's the elegant ballad "I'll Admit You're Gone" that shifts the guitarist into calmer waters and proves his melodic talent was just as cutting on quieter tunes. And it's a crime that the gorgeous "Edged in Blue," certainly one of the artist's saddest and most beautiful pop melodies, was overlooked in his catalog. The 1999 reissue sports track-by-track and first person liner notes from Gallagher's brother Donal, crisp remastered sound, and two additional songs not included on previous versions, one of which, "Public Enemy (B-Girl Version)," later appeared on the Photo-Finish album in an inferior performance to this. Arguably Rory Gallagher's finest studio effort, it was among his best and most varied batch of songs, and it is a perfect place for the curious to start their collection as well as an essential disc showing Gallagher at the peak of his powers. - Review by Hal Horowitz

The Phantom Four "Mandira" 2014

Phantom Four are pretty beloved in the surf world, but I really hadn't gotten into their last record Morgana...
…This really nails it though. Surf isn't the word, as it thrives on repetition and groove rather than whipping guitar licks, but it still has a lot of power. It's infectious, creative, and most importantly a lot of fun. Likely my instro album of the year so far. - Sexy_Pants

Cab Calloway "Planet Jazz" 1998 - mono

American band-leader of the 1930s-1940s, jazz musician, singer, song-writer & multi-talented EmCee renowned for his 'scat singing' style...
...Calloway's orchestra rotated as a 'house band' with that of Duke Ellington at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem through the Prohibition era. His snappy 'zoot-suit' dress sense and skillful vaudeville song-and-dance routines made him an extremely popular entertainer. His 'moonwalking' predating that of Michael Jackson by about a half-century.
In later years he continued performing and featured in films, such as "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965) with Steve McQueen & Edward G. Robinson. The "Cab Calloway School of the Arts", in Wilmington, Delaware, was dedicated in his name in 1994. Calloway died shortly after a stroke and his ashes are interred at Ferncliffe Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. - discogs

The Gitanes "Cloudy Draw - The Further Adventures of The Vietnam Veterans" 2006

The Gitanes or The Further adventures of Vietnam Veterans gonna play legendary shows in France! The Kaiser and Mark Embatta are still full of psychedelic punk'n'roll and are ready for to Rock. Their single "Bang, Bang" show us their very original Sonny Bono & Cher cover (made after by Nancy Sinatra). Their new album "Cloudy Draw" is one event! The Gitanes, music for the ones who likes the Seeds, Love, 13th Floor Elevators...
Do you remeber... The Vietnam Veterans?
This was and still is the best psychedelic music! And now this, "The Gitanes"(the further adventures of the Vietnam Veterans). Thanks a lot to Mark, Lucas and all the other members, who are still supporting us with music after all this time. I know you'll hear and feel that they never betrayed the only style and mood they are able to play...;-)
Le plus grand groupe psychédélique des années 80 s’appelait The Vietnam Veterans. Toutes les bibles du genre vous le confirmeront. Empreint de tous les codes anglo-saxons ad hoc et colorés, cet admirable vaisseau fantôme cacha longtemps sa nationalité, mais s’avéra au bout du compte d’une pure origine française contrôlée. Alors que le label allemand Music Maniac s’apprête à rééditer quatre albums essentiels des augustes vétérans, Mark Embatta et Lucas Trouble (devenu producteur militant des Cowboys From Outer Space, Holy Curse, Whodunit…) reprennent la piste avec The Gitanes.
Même fidélité aux guitares efflanquées et claviers nébuleux, même fonds de commerce halluciné entre Seeds de traverse et Fleshtones de travers. Outre une version de Bang Bang qui tire Cher et Nancy Sinatra par les cheveux jusqu’à la cave, Cloudy Draw reprend les recherches d’une cinquième dimension aux portes d’une perception floue, équidistante des Cramps et de Love. Welcome to Oblivion, comme vous l’annonce sans ambages l’un des meilleurs titres du disque. Jean-Luc Manet

Al Perry & The Cattle "Cattle Crossing" 1985

Debut LP by Al Perry & The Cattle.
Back in the old days they called it 'cowpunk', among other things. Genre definitions and interpretations get weird. At any rate, this Tucson native has played his form of kinda punky tunes with a twang since the 80's. Complete with a good (and dirty) sense of humor. Enjoy this debut full length from 1985. But you might not want to go camping with him. - from: uinsitforeveryone.blogspot.de/2017/05/al-perry-and-cattle-cattle-crossing.html

Roger McGuinn "Back From Rio" 1991

After spending the better part of the 1980s as a solo acoustic troubadour, Byrds cofounder Roger McGuinn landed a contract for a solo album with Arista Records at the turn of the 1990s...
...Featuring Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, and ex-Byrds David Crosby and Chris Hillman, the resultant album had a strangely modern feel, although it was primarily driven by McGuinn's trademark Rickenbacker 12-string. Songwriting had never been McGuinn's strong suit, and on this album he wisely chose some excellent material by Jules Shear and Tom Petty, who provided the album's unexpected hit, "King of the Hill." - Review by Matthew Greenwald

The Clash "The Singles" 2007

Producing box sets of CD replicas of original 7" singles is a bit tricky: as 2006 sets by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson prove, it's all too easy to sacrifice either completeness or historical accuracy for the sake of a set that's easy to package and sell...
...Elvis and Jacko both are cursed with extraordinarily large catalogs, however; even when they're limited by number one singles, as they are on Elvis' set, or by singles that were accompanied by videos, as they are on Jackson's Visionary, there are still notable omissions, and that's not even taking into account that Jackson's set was missing original B-sides. Why all this talk about Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson in a Clash review? Because box sets containing nothing but CD replicas of original singles are such a curious, collector-driven breed that only mega superstar acts like Elvis and Jackson have them in their discographies, and there needs to be some kind of yardstick to measure the Clash's CD singles set by. Because this set -- appropriately and simply called The Singles -- succeeds where most other sets of this nature fail: it is historically accurate and complete, containing replicas of all the Clash's singles, including B-sides from both 7" and 12" singles, all added to the appropriate singles. It not only has all the commercially released singles, but also the legendary Capitol Radio EP, which was given away with the NME in 1977. It is lavishly and intelligently produced, from its re-creations of the original artwork (including labels) to its booklet, containing testimonials from famous Clash fans including Mike D, Shane MacGowan, John Squire, Nick Hornby, Carl Barat, Tim Burgess, Steve Jones, Damon Albarn, Ian Brown, Danny Boyle, Bobby Gillespie, Bernard Sumner, and Pete Townshend. This all makes for an enticing package, ideal for nostalgists who either lived through the Clash's reign as the only band that mattered or those who wish they did, but this also serves a purpose for collectors since it contains a handful of songs that never appeared on CD before, including the This Is Radio Clash and This Is England EPs and several mixes of "The Magnificent Seven." These rarities are, of course, primarily of interest to Clash collectors, but that's who this set is for and that's who this set will satisfy. Not every Clash fan will need this -- after all, as fun as it is to listen to all the original singles in a row, it's a bit of a chore to work through a 19-disc set of CDs that range from two tracks to seven tracks -- but those who want to take this nostalgia trip will find The Singles hard to resist. - Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
