High as Hell by Nashville Pussy (CD - 05/30/2000)
"High as Hell" (05/30/2000) Rock & Pop Nashville Pussy, TVT (USA)Nashville Pussy: Blaine Cartwright (vocals, guitar); Ruyter Suys (guitar); Corey Parks (bass); Jeremy Thompson (drums). Recorded at Studio Litho, Seattle, Washington. Kiss, Motorhead, and Ted Nugent are just a few of the influences that come to mind when a revving motorcycle segues into a driving AC/DC-influenced guitar riff and Nashville Pussy does what it does best; sleazy, high-octane Southern hard rock with attitude to spare. HIGH AS HELL, its second album, delivers the goods, as illustrated by "She's Got the Drugs," with its munching-on-glass vocals and Sid and Nancy-style love story. The title track boasts a foot-stomping, Texas blues-rock groove, while "Go to Hell" puts a new twist on country music heartbreak in a grisly depiction of a man catching his wife in an adulterous affair. "You Ain't Right" finds the song's hero ending a bitter relationship, and Nashville Pussy has fun with handclaps, recalling early Aerosmith, with "Rock and Roll Outlaw." The self-explanatory "Blowjob From a Rattlesnake" tells of a run-in with the law leading to an disagreeable prison stay, while the closest thing to a manifesto comes to life in "Drive," where bad deeds are rationalized as just "...different ideas of fun."

The Layla Sessions: 20th Anniversary Edition [Box] by Derek & The Dominos (CD - 09/18/1990)
"The Layla Sessions: 20th Anniversary Edition [Box]" (09/18/1990) Rock & Pop Derek & The Dominos, Polydor (USA)Derek & The Dominos: Eric Clapton (electric & acoustic guitars, vocals), Duane Allman (electric & acoustic guitars, slide guitars), Bobby Whitlock (organ, piano, acoustic guitar, vocals), Carl Radle (bass, percussion), Jim Gordon (drums, piano, percussion). Engineers include: Ron Albert, Steve Rinkoff, Chuck Kirkpatrick. Producers: Tom Dowd, Derek & The Dominos, Bill Levenson. Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida from August to October 1970. This box set was digitally remixed and remastered by Bill Levenson and Steve Rinkoff at The Power Station, New York from May to June 1990. Includes a 16-page booklet with session notes, annotations and an essay by Gene Santoro. By digitally remixing and remastering these sessions, the producers have resurrected one of Eric Clapton's greatest achievements, his instrumental and songwriting peak. Musically, Clapton was inspired by his new rhythm section and challenged by fellow guitar hero Duane Allman, whose torrid slide guitar makes blues-blasts like "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" and "Key To The Highway" so compelling. And from the classic title song (with drummer Jim Gordon's famous piano coda), to rivetting performances of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad," "Have You Ever Loved A Woman," and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" each and every metaphor is etched in blood and longing, framed in wailing guitars. Disc 1 is the legendary LAYLA double-LP. The jams which comprise disc 2 illustrate the evolution of the session, while the alternate masters, jams and outtakes on disc 3 will certainly be of interest to casual fans and completists alike. All in all, few rock albums from this era have the staying power and poetic immediacy of LAYLA.

Additional personnel: Tracy Silverman (violin, viola); Dan Rieter (cello); Karl Denson (flute, saxophone); Tony Levin (bass, Chapman stick); Chris Manning (bass); Page McConnell (Theremin).

The Power & The Glory Hole by Faster Pussycat (CD - 06/24/2008)
This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us in) by Chevelle (CD - 09/21/2004)
"This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us in)" (09/21/2004) Rock & Pop Chevelle, Epic (USA)Chevelle: Peter Chevelle (vocals, guitar); Joseph Chevelle (bass guitar); Samuel Chevelle (drums). Following the release of its 1999 debut, POINT #1, Chevelle acquired a more sophisticated sound that can be traced through contributions made to the DAREDEVIL and PUNISHER soundtracks, right up through the metal band's third album, 2004's THIS TYPE OF THINKING (COULD DO US IN). With Peter Chevelle (AKA Loeffler)'s choppy, sinister guitar tones and howling vocals, Chevelle sounds like a distant relative of the Tool/A Perfect Circle family. Throw in the plodding rhythms supplied by his bass-playing brother Joe and their skin-bashing sib Sam, and you have a brooding batch of songs that veers from the moody "The Clincher" and its excellent use of dynamics to the primarily acoustic, but no less compelling, "Bend the Bracket." Not surprisingly, Chevelle has a penchant for writing about some of life's darker subjects, ranging from those struggling to avoid conformity (the relentlessly pounding "Breach Birth") to those who willing embrace it through TV shows like AMERICAN IDOL (a swirling "Get Some"). With THIS TYPE OF THINKING, Chevelle continues to be the standard-bearer of nu metal.

Nude & Rude: The Best of Iggy Pop by Iggy Pop (CD - 10/29/1996)
"Nude & Rude: The Best of Iggy Pop" (10/29/1996) Rock & Pop Pop, Iggy, Virgin Records (USA)Personnel includes: Iggy Pop (vocals); David Bowie, Kate Pierson (background vocals). The Stooges: Iggy Pop (vocals); Ron Asheton (guitar, bass); James Williamson (guitar); Scott Thurston (keyboards); Dave Alexander (bass); Scott Asheton (drums). Compilation producer: Wendi Cartwright Osborn. Includes liner notes by Iggy Pop. For those unfamiliar with the careening, death-defying life and music of Iggy Pop, NUDE & RUDE provides a concise and potent overview. Opening with tracks from his seminal late '60s outfit, The Stooges, the assault is immediate. "Search & Destroy," "No Fun," and "Gimme Danger" all possess an animalistic power to which many bands aspire but very few achieve. The countless cover versions that have surfaced over the years have only underscored the Stooges' bone-rattling urgency. Iggy's solo career has been more fitful. Beset by various forms of self-abuse, Pop resurfaced in the late '70s with David Bowie (who has produced Pop a number of times). Bowie tossed his pop agenda into Pop's molten rock. "Lust for Life" and "The Passenger" may not have the danger and excitement of Pop's previous work, but they are firm statements of renewed his artistic vigor. Pop returned in the mid-'80s and he has been here to stay ever since. The cannonball "Cry for Love," the uncompromising "Cold Metal," and the pop friendly "Candy" end NUDE & RUDE on a high note, in keeping with Pop's renewed sense of purpose.
Filthy Lucre Live by The Sex Pistols (CD - 07/30/1996)
"Filthy Lucre Live" (07/30/1996) Rock & Pop Sex Pistols (The), Virgin Records (USA)The Sex Pistols: Johnny Rotten (vocals); Steve Jones (guitar); Glen Matlock (bass); Paul Cook (drums). Recorded live at Finsbury Park, London, England in June 1996. With the punk-rock seeds they sowed 20 years earlier finally bursting into the mainstream, the Sex Pistols return to cash in. We don't mean that as a knock; we're quite sure, in fact, that's exactly what the Pistols themselves would tell you if you asked. And besides, this document of their 1996 London show (released barely a month after the actual gig) finds the Pistols' original intensity undiminished. Playing all the songs that made them infamous, Johnny Rotten (nee Lydon) and company actually sound more aggressive and driving than they did in their '70s heyday. They're a million miles (and a few singing lessons) from the Las Vegas punk nostalgia act some feared. On classics like "Holidays In The Sun", "Pretty Vacant" and "Anarchy In The UK," the Pistols lay it down with an authority that leaves no doubt as to the authenticity of their reunion. Fans of modern-day punks such as Rancid, Green Day and Offspring will instantly recognize the roots of their heroes in this collection of seminal punk played with all the spirit one could hope for.

Teenage Graffiti [PA] by The Pink Spiders (CD - 08/01/2006)
"Teenage Graffiti [PA]" (08/01/2006) Rock & Pop Pink Spiders (The), Geffen Records (USA)The Pink Spiders: Matt Friction (vocals, guitar); Jon Decious (bass guitar); Bob Ferrari (drums). Hurtling out of Nashville like a pink meteor wearing dark shades, the Pink Spiders' major label debut is a perfect pop confection. The trio is made up of guitarist and vocalist Matt Friction, bassist Jon Decious, and Bob Ferrari, the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Drummer." Produced by the Cars' Ric Ocasek, TEENAGE GRAFFITI melds rock, punk, and pop with perfect pitch, creating a melodic, guitar-driven sound that's infectious and endlessly energizing. "Hollywood Fix" is shimmering power-punk that one can't help smiling at, even if the lyrics are about chain smoking and loving danger. "Little Razorblade" is guitar pop with a melancholy lilt that asks that you, "Don't call it a crush, baby." This is a band that released an EP entitled THE PINK SPIDERS ARE TAKING OVER!, and it looks like they just might, one rock song at a time.
Baby I'm Bored by Evan Dando (CD - 04/22/2003)
"Baby I'm Bored" (04/22/2003) Rock & Pop Dando, Evan, Bar/NonePersonnel: Evan Dando (vocals, guitar, piano, Hammond B-3 organ, bass, drums, tambourine); Jon Brion (vocals, various instruments); Chris Brokaw (guitar, Hammond B-3 organ, drums, percussion); Howe Gelb (guitar, keyboards); Royston Langdon (piano, bass, background vocals); Joe Burns (bass, background vocals); John Convertino, Sim Cain (drums). Recorded at Sage & Sound, Los Angeles, California; Trout Studio, Brooklyn, New York; Wavelab, Tucson, Arizona. It's no coincidence that the cover art for BABY I'M BORED mimics that of the Lemonheads' punky debut, HATE YOUR FRIENDS. Coming after several years in the wilderness, Evan Dando's first album under his own name, and his first release of any kind since 1996's wildly uneven CAR BUTTON CLOTH, finds him looking for a new beginning. Dando doesn't, and maybe can't, duplicte the heart-on-sleeve, recreational drug charm of his 1992 classic, IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY, but BABY I'M BORED marks a return to the acoustic feel and cohesiveness of that album. For his fans, older and wiser like he is, it's a treat.

Here For the Party by Gretchen Wilson (CD - 05/11/2004)
"Here For the Party" (05/11/2004) Rock & Pop Wilson, Gretchen, Epic NashvillePersonnel include: Gretchen Wilson (vocals); Russ Pahl (guitar, steel guitar, lap steel guitar, banjo); John Rich, John Willis (acoustic guitar); Kenny Greenberg, Tom Bukovac (electric guitar); Michael Rhodes , Mike Brignardello (baritone guitar, bass guitar); Al Anderson (gut-string guitar); Larry Franklin (mandolin, fiddle); Reese Wynans, Steve Nathan (piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Greg Morrow (drums, percussion); Eric Darken (percussion). Recording information: Sony/Tree Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. In the tradition of singers such as Wanda Jackson and Tanya Tucker comes Gretchen Wilson, a self-proclaimed hard-living trailer-park inhabitant with country-rock attitude to spare. The pleasant surprise with Wilson is that, in stark contrast to the streamlined country-pop of Shania Twain and Faith Hill, she doesn't mind getting a bit dirty (musically or otherwise). Though her grassroots ethos clearly plays into her success, it's not a pose: Wilson means what she says, and her country twang, mixed with roots and mainstream rock, packs a punch. HERE FOR THE PARTY alternates between songs about rural, working-class nightlife (particularly Wilson's love of cowboys, whiskey, and, of course, country music) and its trials and tribulations (romantic heartache and spiritual struggle). The runaway single, "Redneck Woman," waves the banner of the "four-wheel-drive tailgate" and standing "barefoot in my own front yard with a baby on my hip." But where the anthemic choruses of songs such as "Here for the Party" are all bravado, "Holdin' You" and "The Bed" show the vulnerability of a dedicated and jilted lover, respectively. Wilson's range (listen to the gospel-derived "Chariot," complete with a mid-song rap) impresses, and adds to the appeal of a down-home girl that can rip up the honky-tonk and belt out a heartfelt ballad.

Us and Them by Shinedown (CD - 10/04/2005)
"Us and Them" (10/04/2005) Rock & Pop Shinedown, Atlantic (USA)Shinedown: Barry, Brent Smith, Jasin, Brad. Recording information: The Hole, Sanford, FL. A marked improvement over their debut, LEAVE A WHISPER, Shinedown's sophomore effort, US AND THEM (2005), is a more focused take on the group's hard-hitting post-grunge sound. The band's primary influences--Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Creed--are relatively clear, yet there are also touches of nu-metal and emo expressivity. Given the familiar territory it covers, US AND THEM isn't exactly a musical revelation, but lead singer Brent Smith wails admirably, the guitars are chunky and churning, and the overall package rocks.
