Ann Peebles Greatest Hits LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Greatest Hits From R & amp;B Chanteuse On Vinyl LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A delicate, slinky figure with a powerhouse voice, Ann Peebles occupied a special place among the many great talents that roamed the halls of Memphis' iconic R & amp;B label Hi Records in the 1960s and 1970s. While producer Willie Mitchell was the company's heart, musicians the Hodges brothers its soul, and Al Green its top star, it was Peebles who gave the label its first national success, and a lasting female identity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Released in the fall of 1973, & quot;I Can't Stand the Rain & quot; would provide the title track and foundation for Peebles' breakthrough LP. Defined by Mitchell's evocative production touches - including the mesmerizing raindrop intro, played on a newly purchased studio gizmo, the electronic timbale - and some of Hi Rhythm's most supple grooves, the song was transformed into magic. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;I Can't Stand the Rain & quot; would quickly become a top ten R & amp;B hit, a Top 40 pop number, and earned the admiration of fellow artists like David Bowie and John Lennon; the ex-Beatle declared in Billboard that it was & quot;the best song ever & quot;. The success of & quot;Rain & quot; would also net Peebles a Grammy nomination and send her touring across the world. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Over the course of seven albums and dozens of singles for Hi, Peebles expressed a complex range of moods and emotions in her music. Her songs were alternately pleading and defiant, seductive, and destructive - but always utterly soulful. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Even so many years later, Peebles' soul remains truly indomitable - Bob Mehr, 2015 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Side 1 & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

J.D. Wilkes Fire Dream LP (Vinyl)

Wilkes. The album, containing the single Walk Between the Raindrops, features members of Squirrel Nut Zippers and Drive-By Truckers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A sense of place has long permeated the music of J.D. Wilkes. He’s a native of Paducah, Kentucky, a city located at the confluence of various rivers and cultures — an area where musical variety is in the air and in the blood memory of its people. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Of course, there’s bluegrass and hillbilly songs, but also blues, jazz, old time fiddle music, jug band music, even swamp rock, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; says Wilkes. & lt;b & gt; & quot;It’s a great intersection there. I think I epitomize that in the way that I write and perform. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wilkes’ solo debut, Fire Dream, represents the apotheoses of that vision: a hillbilly-gypsy epic, it’s an album of art damaged cabaret music, leavened by Latin rhythms and high lonesome hollers. Call it boho bluegrass — maybe what Tom Waits would sound like if he were a Kentucky Colonel (a title that Wilkes happens to hold). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Proving a compelling firebrand of American roots music during his two decades leading experimental rockabilly group Legendary Shack Shakers, Wilkes has a resume and passions that extend far and wide. A visual artist, filmmaker and author, he’s served as a session player for Merle Haggard, helped soundtrack HBO’s True Blood, penned a pair of books (The Vine That Ate the South and Barn Dances and Jamborees Across Kentucky) and worked as an ethnomusicologist without portfolio, documenting the dying hillbilly culture of Kentucky. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wilkes’ creative approach is defined by his home region’s rich history as a musical nexus. & quot;Western Kentucky is unique in that a lot of that mountain music, which is otherwise stuck in Appalachia, trickled down and permeated our conscience & quot; he says. & quot;But if you look at it topographically we’re a flat delta lowland region, a flood zone … so we have a lot in common with the Mississippi Delta and Memphis and we got all that jazz and blues that came up the river as well. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; That keen understanding of history is partly what drew the interest of Fat Possum’s Big Legal Mess imprint, which signed Wilkes in 2017. & lt;b & gt; & quot;They saw me as a kindred spirit, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; he says, & lt;b & gt; & quot;in my efforts to archive and field-record and report upon some form of folk music that’s in danger of being forgotten. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; For his solo debut, however, Wilkes has something more outré in mind than a mere musical lesson or genre exercise. Recorded at Delta-Sonic Sound in Memphis with producer Bruce Watson and Jimbo Mathus, the album finds Wilkes creating a complex tapestry of styles and sounds, playing banjo, harmonica, and piano, adding percussion, and even winding up an old hurdy-gurdy. Aiding him in that effort are a couple kindred musical spirits in guitarist Mathus and multi-instrumentalist Dr. Sick from the ever-eclectic Squirrel Nut Zippers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;They were the perfect people to bring in. They could play any kind of style, & quot; says Wilkes. & quot;Jimbo has such an intuitive feel for blues and Dr. Sick, man, he’s the most amazing musician I’ve ever had the privilege of playing with. I don’t even know what his real name is, but that guy is awesome. & quot; Rounding out the recording are contributions from Drive-By Truckers bassist Matt Patton, up-and-coming soul chanteuse Liz Brasher on backing vocals, and the horn section from Bluff City R & amp;B band, The Bo-Keys. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album’s opening and title track & quot;Fire Dream & quot; establishes the tone with a cinematic setup. & lt;b & gt; & quot;It sounds as if a gypsy carnival blew in on a tornado and landed in a hillbilly junkyard, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; says Wilkes of the tune. & lt;b & gt; & quot;I tried to pay attention to the texture of the songs, both what was in them and how they connected to each other, and the record as a whole. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Within its ten tracks Fire Dream contains multitudes: from galloping string rambles ( & quot;Wild Bill Jones & quot;) to slow burning laments ( & quot;Walk Between the Raindrops & quot;), hardscrabble narratives ( & quot;Hoboes Are My Heroes & quot;) exotic nocturnes ( & quot;Moonbottle & quot;), and hellfire comedy ( & quot;Bible, Candle and a Skull & quot;). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wilkes’ acid wit shines through on Fire Dream, with his lyrics coming across as both highly crafted and deeply intuitive & lt;b & gt;. & quot;A song is like a puzzle, you have to feel around and figure out how the words fit, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; he says. & lt;b & gt; & quot;It doesn’t matter if it’s Hank, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits or Nick Cave, they all have a knack for knowing the most artful way the words can collide with one another, or flow together. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/0SBfPYetagg & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; gesture= & quot;media & quot; allow= & quot;encrypted-media & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Black Keys Rubber Factory LP (Vinyl)
After an explosive debut album and a mellower sophomore effort, Akron duo The Black Keys roar back with & quot;Rubber Factory & quot;, a passionate, catchy, masterpiece that proves these guys are for real. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; One thing Rubber Factory is NOT is slick, but what it IS is a whole bunch of other, finer things: it's an album that manages to swing like a rump-shaking backroom party at 4 AM on one track ( & quot;Just Couldn't Tie Me Down & quot;) yet doesn't hesitate to turn around and raise the hair on the back of your neck with something eerie and lonely ( & quot;The Lengths & quot;). Leaving the edges ragged might not work for the greenswards of the downwardly mobile, but it's the sort of thing that works just fine for music if you have the right touch, and the Black Keys have that indelicacy down to a gutter science. Rubber Factory is raw in the best meaning of the word. Rubber Factory is unadulterated and pure. Raw in the Iggy and the Stooges sense. Raw in the manner of Charley Patton's scratchiest gospel blues sides. Rubber Factory is the sound of The Black Keys reveling in all their high ragged glory, but also coming into their own as stunningly talented songwriters and producers. It’s a classic album, vital and fresh, that rewards the listener continually from start to finish. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Dan Auerbach, vocals, guitar & lt;br & gt; Patrick Carney, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Black Keys Chulahoma: The Songs Of Junior Kimbrough LP (Vinyl)
This Black Keys EP, following The Rubber Factory, will satisfy every bit as much as a full-length LP of Keys original material. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Chulahoma contains the Songs of Junior Kimbrough, who is probably one of the rawest blue artists ever. The Black Keys really capture his sound and take it a step further by using their distorted guitar and raw backbone drumming. Chulahoma has a more raw sound than their previous LP, Rubber Factory. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Keep Your Hands Off Her & lt;br & gt; 2. Have Mercy On Me & lt;br & gt; 3. Work Me & lt;br & gt; 4. Meet Me In The City & lt;br & gt; 5. Nobody But You & lt;br & gt; 6. My Mind Is Ramblin'

The Black Keys Thickfreakness LP (Vinyl)
Sitting in a room whose walls are so blue they look black, digging into the joy-and-pain double helix of existence and finding heavy soul, kicking out a blues rock rumpus in search of salvation...this is the electrifying world of The Black Keys and their sophomore album Thickfreakness. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Building upon but never merely appropriating the discontent of 20th century Delta Blues, Thickfreakness applies traditional blues reflexes to the modern day daemons of social alienation, vocational mediocrity, and the urban grind... Just how The Black Keys achieved this deliciously unencumbered ferocity on Thickfreakness is really no mystery. The LP was primarily recorded in 14 hours on an early 80’s Tascam 388 eight-track down in Carney’s basement. But what’s remarkable is how tight and focused it sounds given this expedited timeline... Alongside the ghosts of Son House and Muddy Waters, you’ll hear the assiduous, frenzied energies that The Black Keys exhumed in Carney’s cellar during the Thickfreakness sessions. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Henry Hauser, Consequence Of Sound, May 11, 2013 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Subsequently Palmer produced R.L.'s Too Bad Jim for the fledgling Fat Possum label. Along with Junior Kimbrough's All Night Long, Too Bad Jim was one of the most important and influential blues albums of the '90s. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

R.L. Burnside First Recordings 180g LP (Vinyl)
The raw, powerful, authentic delta blues emanating from Mississippi's legend R.L. Burnside on First Recordings will please blues purists and audiophiles alike. Recorded in 1968 by George Mitchell utilizing & quot;a portable $168 recorder, a shack and lots of cheap rum & quot;, Burnside's dynamic voice, footstomp and acoustic guitar encapsulate the emerging mastery of a voice unmarked by 35 years of Northern Mississippi hard living. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Opening track, & quot;Just Like a Bird without a Feather & quot; is a slow, haunting tune that starts out with R.L. singing to his lover whom he misses because he has murdered her for & quot;cheatin' & quot;, and now after sentencing, & quot;home ain't where it used to be & quot;. From jail, we hop on a train & quot;Goin' Down South & quot; for a tune about getting the hell out of the North and going back home (most likely inspired by Burnside's stint in Chicago during the 50's when his father, brother, and uncle were all murdered within a month's time.) The track rumbles like a locomotive and features Burnside's fierce, chugging guitar work. Other tracks like & quot;Walkin' Blues & quot; also showcase Burnside's monster slide chops. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded by George Mitchell in 1968. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Limited Edition 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

R.L. Burnside/Come On In LP (Vinyl)
Burnside spent most of his life in the rural hill country of northern Mississippi, working as a sharecropper and a commercial fisherman, as well as playing guitar at weekend house parties. He was first inspired to pick up the guitar in his early in life after hearing the 1948 John Lee Hooker single, & quot;Boogie Chillen & quot;. He learned music largely from Mississippi Fred McDowell, who lived nearby in an adjoining county. He also cited his cousin-in-law, Muddy Waters, as an influence. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Venturing into new territory of beats and grooves, Burnside joins producer Tom Rothrock for a series of & amp;nbsp; remixes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 52/500! & lt;br & gt; Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time - & quot;Tired Of Being Alone & quot; - Rated 299/500! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A classic Al Green title remastered! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Greatest Hits epitomizes the trademark sound of the devastating duo of Al Green and producer Willie Mitchell, with 10 of R & amp;B music's all-time gems. The album was released in 1975 and in 2003 was ranked #52 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Al Green was the first great soul singer of the '70s and arguably the last great Southern soul singer. With his seductive singles for Hi Records in the early '70s, Green bridged the gap between deep soul and smooth Philadelphia soul. He incorporated elements of gospel, interjecting his performances with wild moans and wails, but his records were stylish, boasting immaculate productions that rolled along with a tight beat, sexy backing vocals, and lush strings. The distinctive Hi Records sound that the vocalist and producer Willie Mitchell developed made Al Green the most popular and influential soul singer of the early 1970s, influencing not only his contemporaries, but also veterans like Marvin Gaye. Green was at the peak of his popularity when he suddenly decided to join the ministry in the mid-'70s. At first, he continued to record secular material, but by the '80s, he was concentrating solely on gospel. During the late '80s and '90s, he occasionally returned to R & amp;B, but he remained primarily a religious performer for the rest of his career. Nevertheless, Green's classic early '70s recordings retained their power and influence throughout the decades, setting the standard for smooth soul. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The honey-voiced Green made some of the most visionary soul music of the Seventies & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;This collection, with hits such as & quot;Let's Stay Together & quot; and & quot;Tired of Being Alone, & quot; sums up an amazing six-album run in the early Seventies. That period ended in 1974 when a spurned woman threw a pot of hot grits on Green and then shot herself; soon after, Green bought a church in Memphis and became a minister. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - www.rollingstone.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;After a show in Detroit, Green woke up before dawn the next day at a motel in rural Michigan with a song forming in his mind. Half an hour later, he had 'Tired of Being Alone.' But Mitchell wasn’t much interested in Green's own material. 'I was toting my song around in my pocket for days on end, saying, 'Hey, I got a song,' Green said. 'Finally, at the end of the session, I said, 'Well, I still got a song.' & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The album features the hit title track as well as & quot;Look What You Done For Me & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Al Green was the first great soul singer of the '70s and arguably the last great Southern soul singer. With his seductive singles for Hi Records in the early '70s, Green bridged the gap between deep soul and smooth Philadelphia soul. He incorporated elements of gospel, interjecting his performances with wild moans and wails, but his records were stylish, boasting immaculate productions that rolled along with a tight beat, sexy backing vocals, and lush strings. The distinctive Hi Records sound that the vocalist and producer Willie Mitchell developed made Al Green the most popular and influential soul singer of the early 1970s, influencing not only his contemporaries, but also veterans like Marvin Gaye. Green was at the peak of his popularity when he suddenly decided to join the ministry in the mid-'70s. At first, he continued to record secular material, but by the '80s, he was concentrating solely on gospel. During the late '80s and '90s, he occasionally returned to R & amp;B, but he remained primarily a religious performer for the rest of his career. Nevertheless, Green's classic early '70s recordings retained their power and influence throughout the decades, setting the standard for smooth soul. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;After topping the R & amp;B and pop charts with Let's Stay Together, Green released his second LP of that year, one that was even more sensual than its predecessor. & quot;Love and Happiness & quot; is a slow-building masterpiece: His band provided the subtle groove; Green added a mountain of soul. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - www.rollingstone.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Junio Kimbrough/You Better Run The Essential...2LP (Vinyl)
David & quot;Junior & quot; Kimbrough, quite possibly the most important blues guitarists of the second half of the 20th century, redefined blues. Junior's approach to music is so hugely different from anything that came before him that he ranks among the three greatest bluesmen of all: Son House, Bukka White, and Fred McDowell. An originator, Junior did more than build on certain tradition or perfect a certain style. Junior re-imagined the blues; he made a sound for himself. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; If Junior's sister had been any kind of baby-sitter he might not have picked up the guitar. When Junior was too small to help his father work the fields his eldest sister stayed home with him. She was supposedly watching him the day he took his father's guitar & quot;off the high shelf & quot;, where his father kept everything he didn't want his children fooling with. It became routine: when his father left for the fields, Junior carefully took down the guitar. He learned fast and well, well enough to teach a local white boy, Charlie Feathers, how to play. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Junior was six years old, and his sister was doing her usual band-up job of babysitting the day he took a gallon jug of corn off the high shelf. His mother found him in an alcohol-induced coma; she thought Junior was dead. Junior's father recognized the problem and knew the solution: his daughter needed a whipping and Junior belonged in the field. After two years of high school Junior was lured into Holly Springs by a job at the John Deere dealership. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Junior couldn't remember the exact date he deliberately set out to create music but knew the reasons. He was still a young man and had gone as far as he could go at John Deere. If Junior was gonna make his mark in the world, he'd have to do it with a guitar. Up until then he'd been playing the same country blues standards, as well as the contemporary hits of Little Milton and Albert King, in the same jukes and clubs that his long-time friend and rival R.L. Burnside played. And then Junior stopped playing covers and stopped taking requests. Determined not to become just another 'entertainer' or 'performer', Junior realized playing covers only helped the composers or the artist who first recorded the song. He wasn't going to help anybody, ever again. From then on, Junior would only play Junior. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; He might've been the first person in his family to work off the farm, but Junior never gave up his rural habits like throwing parties every Sunday night with his furniture dragged out in the yard so more people could fit. Before long Junior had to rent a one-bedroom apartment to get a break from the chaos he'd started at home. Junior's old house became more than a club. It was an entity: it was Junior's Place -- and without help from a sign or telephone locals gathered on Sunday nights to drink and dance. Junior understood music, and had a gift for songwriting, and began developing the music that was first recorded in the mid-'80s for a Memphis State single. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Unfortunately, David & quot;Junior & quot; Kimbrough didn't release his first album until 1992, when he was 62, but when he finally made his first album, All Night Long (produced by Robert Palmer for Fat Possum Records), the world took notice. Rolling Stone was the first to acknowledge Junior and awarded the album four stars. In addition to giving his music long overdue exposure, All Night Long gave the Fat Possum label hope. Junior, for the most part, was not physically able to tour, now that he finally had the support of a record company. There were notable exceptions: a string of dates with Iggy Pop, and several tours with the Fat Possum Circus (a package deal). But the news traveled - to hear Junior you had to go to Mississippi. Rock bands such as the Rolling Stones, Sonic Youth, and U2 made pilgrimages to Holly Springs to experience his club and hear Junior with his son Kinney Malone on drums and Garry Burnside on bass. Junior went on to record Sad Days, Lonely Nights, Most Things Haven't Worked Out and the posthumously released God Knows I Tried (all on Fat Possum). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Junior was 67 when he died of heart failure on January 17, 1998 at Mildred's apartment in the Holly Springs public housing project, watching TV on her couch. Mildred Washington, his companion of 30 years, had been taking care of him. Junior Kimbrough still kept a one-room bachelor's apartment at the time of his death: immaculately clean, with nothing whatsoever on the walls or tables, no pictures, no tour posters, nothing. Junior knew what he had accomplished, and didn't need any souvenirs. In addition to the 36 children he claimed, Junior put his brand on music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Double Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Junior Kimbrough, vocals, guitar & lt;br & gt; Gary Burnside, bass & lt;br & gt; Kenny Malone, drums & lt;br & gt; Charlie Feathers, vocals, guitar (LP1, Side A, Track 1) & lt;br & gt; Kenny Brown, guitar (LP1, Side B, Track 3, LP2, Side C, Track 3, LP2, Side D, Track 1) & lt;br & gt; Dale Beavers, bass (LP2, Side D, Track 2) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP1 - Side A: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Musician! & lt;br & gt; Includes Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album! & lt;br & gt; Features & quot;I Can't Get Next To You & quot;, & quot;I'm A Ram & quot;, & amp; & quot;Tired Of Being Alone & quot;!! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Born April 13, 1946 in Forest City, Arkansas, Al Green began singing in his family's gospel group. His distinctive vocal talent and extraordinary ability to master pop, R & amp;B, and gospel genres has enabled him to become an international superstar. Green is Hi Records' most awarded singer and songwriter. In a phenomenal career spanning more than thirty years, Green has charted six #1 hits and been inducted into the prestigious Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The follow up to Green Is Blues, Gets Next To You is the definitive masterpiece by the Mitchell-Green LTD. Improving on the characterization of the trademark HI sound, Willie Mitchell's decision to switch from the gritty syncopations of deep Southern soul to a slower and more seductive base supports an Al Green probably at his best. There are no false steps here, since every single track on the album is a pillar of the genre, from the opening massive cover version of the Temptations' & quot;I Can't Get Next To You & quot;, which is reinvented with a lethal dose of irresistible groove, to the perfect 1-2 pitch of & quot;Tired Of Being Alone & quot; followed by & quot;I'm A Ram. & quot; If you are a romantic, this is your absolute soundtrack! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Al Green's first four albums are the beginning of the truly sublime rhythm-and-blues story of the 1970s: It's a story about one of the most soulful voices in pop history — a rough yet refined tenor — combined with a mystically tight Memphis studio band. For generations of inheritors (from Jodeci to U2) and lovers, Green, producer Willie Mitchell and the five-man Hi Records house band set the benchmark for soul. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Al Green & quot; means not only the artist but also a sound: a jazz-bred sparseness and life inside a wonderfully clean, accessible groove. 1970's Green Is Blues doesn't yet have all this legendary muscle together...On 1971's Gets Next to You and 1972's Let's Stay Together and I'm Still in Love With You, the Red Sea parts. Green's singing and the band's arrangements act in thrilling concert, offering a controlled abandon that you don't often hear this side of, say, Miles Davis and Gil Evans... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - James Hunter, rollingstone.com, February 11, 2003 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; • Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The detachment you can feel throughout our younger records is gone. We felt like it was time to make a bigger, more generous statement. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;When describing the new album, Heaven (produced by Phil Ek - Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Built to Spill etc.), the Walkmen lead singer Hamilton Leithauser portrays a band hitting maturity, comfortable in its mastery, after a decade together. Adds guitarist Paul Maroon, & lt;b & gt; & quot;when you're starting out, you're sitting there trying to come up with a big idea, but after a while, you learn about the process of writing. You learn about your friends in the band and how they work best. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; It's been ten years since the Walkmen made their debut album, Everybody Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone. Ten years since they mixed the lovingly recorded analogue tapes down to the cheapest CD burner they could find. Ten years since lead singer Hamilton Leithauser snapped guitarist Paul Maroon's arm in a celebratory wrestling match. Ten years since critics attached them to a New York scene they never wanted any part of. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; But when Leithauser sings & quot;We Can't Be Beat, & quot; on the opening track of their new album, he means it, like Cool Hand Luke getting up off the floor for one more round. & lt;b & gt; & quot;The world is ours, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; he declares. This time, he may be right. & lt;p & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;'Heaven,' the title track off the Walkmen's seventh album (out June 5 on Fat Possum/Bella Union), is free of the youthful detachment of the band's previous releases, harnessing their energy into a sweeping, more mature arrangement. Combining jangly guitars, throbbing two-chord bass and an engaging tambourine, 'Heaven' works under a 'less is more' theory while maintaining a certain level of arena aspirations. Frontman Hamilton Leithauser belts, 'Remember/Remember/What we fight for,' during a cinematic chorus that eventually feeds into the song's most memorable lyric: 'Don't leave me now/You're my best friend/All of my life/You've always been.' The Walkmen somehow manage to make desperation empowering on 'Heaven,' and following the group's critically acclaimed 2010 album Lisbon, its latest single boasts of a newfound paternal energy. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Maria Sherman, billboard.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; • This Release Marks 10 Year Anniversary as a Band & lt;br & gt; • Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album & lt;br & gt; • Produced by Phil Ek (Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, Built to Spill) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Hamilton Leithauser, vocals, guitar & lt;br & gt; Paul Maroon, guitar, piano & lt;br & gt; Walter Martin, organ, bass & lt;br & gt; Peter Bauer, organ, bass & lt;br & gt; Matt Barrick, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;First Full Album Of All-New Material Since Legendary & quot;Raw Power & quot; Sessions! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Better 40 years later than never & lt;/b & gt;...The follow-up to the first record ever to bear the Iggy and the Stooges logo - the immortal proto-punk masterpiece Raw Power - Fat Possum releases the all-new Iggy and the Stooges studio album, & quot;Ready To Die & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ready To Die finds Iggy Pop, guitarist & lt;b & gt;James Williamson & lt;/b & gt; and drummer & lt;b & gt; Scott & quot;Rock Action & quot; Asheton & lt;/b & gt; reunited for a full album of all-new material for the first time since the legendary Raw Power sessions, with & lt;b & gt;Mike Watt & lt;/b & gt; filling in for the late Ron Asheton on bass. the results are the closes thing to a time capsule to 1973 - or at least to Iggy's subsequent efforts with Williamson, including 1977's Kill City and 1979's New Values - that rock 'n' roll is likely to proffer in this millennium. Ready To Die's opening one-two of & quot;Burn & quot; and & quot;Sex & amp; Money & quot; pair sublimely blunt and self-explanatory subject matter with back alley razor-blade guitars and a troglodytic rhythmic stomp as intensely single-minded as Iggy's lyrical statements of intent. Elsewhere on the album, anthems abound in the form of the most dead-on rallying cry for the lower-working-class dispossessed to date - the succinctly and aptly title & quot;Job & quot; - as well as a title track that mixes a signature Iggy Pop mission statement of angry desperation with guitar pyrotechnics that recall those halcyon opening salvos of & quot;Search & amp; Destroy & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Just as Iggy exhumed the original Stooges name when he reunited in 2003 with the Asheton brothers, the revival of the Iggy and the Stooges moniker that first appeared on the cover of Raw Power heralded the return of guitarist James Williamson to the fold in 2009, or as Iggy put it then & lt;b & gt; & quot;Although 'the Stooges' died with Ron Asheton, there is still 'Iggy and the Stooges'. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; As far as the decision to record and release a new Iggy and the Stooges album for the first time since 1973, Iggy recently commented: & lt;b & gt; & quot;My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no longer personal. It's just a pig-headed f**king thing I have that a real f**king group when they're an older group they also make f**king records. They don't just go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of f**king money.. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;[G]reat news: Ready to Die is better than anyone could rationally expect. [Guitarist James] Williamson makes a potent accomplice as co-writer and producer — dig the sharp, punchy sound — and unleashes a barrage of nicely spiky electric riffs, as well as some surprisingly tender acoustic licks. And if the snarling fills that open leadoff track 'Burn' consciously strive to echo 'Search and Destroy,' Williamson manages to pull it off with brutal flair. Philosopher Iggy remains the main attraction, of course. Out of control in the early '70s but fully in command today, he embodies, as ever, the twin impulses governing the fully lived life, loftily pondering the meaning of existence even as he seeks answers in primal pleasures... Ready to Die is a weirdly exhilarating gem, thanks to Iggy's fiery eloquence and the Stooges' still-raw power. Apparently rock'n'roll can be an old man's game after all. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Jon Young, SPIN, Rated 8/10 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • 150 Gram Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Includes Limited Time MP3 Download of Entire Album & lt;br & gt; • Full Lyrics & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Iggy Pop, vocals & lt;br & gt; James Williamson, guitars & lt;br & gt; Scott & quot;Rock Action & quot; Asheton, drums & lt;br & gt; Mike Watt, bass & lt;br & gt; Steve Mackay, saxophone & lt;br & gt; Toby Dammit, percussion & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

Fat Possum is proud to reissue four this title from his early career. Van Zandt's most prolific (and most critically acclaimed) decade was from 1969 and 1978, and includes the albums & quot;Townes Van Zandt & quot;, Our Mother the Mountain & quot;, & quot;Delta Momma Blues & quot; and & quot;Flyin' Shoes & quot;. These four titles are the heart of any serious consideration of Van Zandt's career. Those four albums feature some of the most iconic cover art in album history (designed by Milton Glaser), and each is a classic in every sense of the word. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The second album by Townes Van Zandt, released in 1969, is generally acknowledged as his first masterpiece. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Townes Van Zandt, guitar, vocals & lt;br & gt; James Burton, dobro, guitar & lt;br & gt; Mike Deasy Sr., guitar & lt;br & gt; Jack Clement, guitar & lt;br & gt; David Cohen, guitar & lt;br & gt; Don Randi, keyboards & lt;br & gt; Jules Jacob, flute & lt;br & gt; Ben Bennay, harmonica & lt;br & gt; Charlie McCoy, bass, guitar, harmonica, keyboards & lt;br & gt; Harvey Newmark, bass & lt;br & gt; Lyle Ritz, bass & lt;br & gt; Chuck Domanico, bass & lt;br & gt; John Clauder, drums & lt;br & gt; Donald Frost, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
