From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah by Nirvana (US) (CD - 10/01/1996)
"From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah" (10/01/1996) Rock & Pop Nirvana (US), DGC (David Geffen Company) (USA)Nirvana: Kurt Cobain (guitar, vocals); Pat Smear (guitar, background vocals); Krist Novoselic (bass); Dave Grohl (drums, background vocals); Chad Channing (drums). Compilation producers: Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl. Recorded live between 1989 and 1994. Includes liner notes by Krist Novoselic. Personnel: Kurt Cobain (vocals, guitar); Pat Smear (guitar, background vocals); Dave Grohl (drums, background vocals); Chad Channing (drums). Audio Mixer: Andy Wallace. Liner Note Author: Krist Novoselic. Recording information: Astoria Theatre, London, England (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Civic Center, Springfield, MA (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Del Mar Fairgrounds, CA (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Great Western Forum, Los Angeles, CA (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); ll Castello Vi De PortaCastello 41 Rome (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Paramount Theatre, Seattle, WA (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Pier 48, Seattle, WA (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Reading Festival, Reading, England (12/05/1989-01/05/1994); Seattle Center Arena, Seattle, WA (12/05/1989-01/05/1994). Photographers: Mark Kates; Lisa Johnson ; Kevin Mazur; Charles Peterson . The electric smashes and thrashes compiled on FROM THE MUDDY BANKS OF THE WISHKAH were originally intended as half of a double album; the other half would have been the acoustic show released as MTV UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK. But after Kurt Cobain's death, UNPLUGGED was released on its own, and the task of putting together a live electric disc was put aside for a couple years. Now completed, FROM THE MUDDY BANKS OF THE WISHKAH (named for a river that cuts through Nirvana's hometown, Aberdeen, Washington) serves as a perfect mirror to UNPLUGGED. Where that one offered a recontextualization of Nirvana's oeuvre, this one offers a reaffirmation of the band's raw power. All the elements that made the band a legend are present here: piledriver rhythm section, scabrous guitar work that combines a Neil Young-ish tone with a punk sensibility, and Cobain's anguished, sandpaper vocal delivery. Many of Nirvana's best-known songs are included in versions that double the intensity and aggression (and sometimes the speed) of the original recordings. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" finds the band charging at a pace that suggests its life depends on reaching the end of the song. "Scentless Apprentice" is a raging howl that makes the original version sound like a beer commercial.

Christmas Songs [RCA] by Roger Whittaker (CD - 09/01/2003)
"Christmas Songs [RCA]" (09/01/2003) Rock & Pop Whittaker, Roger, RCA Victor Records (USA)Personnel: Roger Whittaker (vocals). A budget-priced collection of some holiday favorites -- including "The First Noel," "The Holly and the Ivy, " "Silent Night, " and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- The Christmas Song is an enjoyable album, yet the selection is a bit skimpy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce by Foghat (CD - 05/23/2006)
"Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce" (05/23/2006) Rock & Pop Foghat, Wounded Bird RecordsPersonnel: Lonesome Dave Peverett (vocals, guitar); Erik Cartwright (guitar, background vocals); Nick Jameson (keyboards, background vocals); Roger Earl (drums, shaker). By the time Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce hit record stores in 1981, it had been ten years since Foghat had released their first American single "I Just Want to Make Love to You," and even though the veteran London blues/boogie rock outfit had a rather long list of commercial accomplishments, the wavering quality and focus of their music in the late '70s had shaken the band's core fan base and slight critical appeal. The stomp and the swagger were replaced by glitter and global tours, rust turned to chrome, howlin' blues to raunch and roll. So bandleader Lonesome Dave Peverett continued an experiment he had tentatively begun a year earlier on Tight Shoes: drawing on new musical influences from the burgeoning punk and new wave scene in and around London. While not exactly a new wave recording, certain tracks on the Bearsville release, especially the ode to London pub thuggery "Wide Boys," are decidedly minimal, modern, and just plain un-bluesy. In general, the arrangements on the record are sparse, the songs and solos are short, and the sound is tighter throughout -- with tracks like "Let Me Get Close to You," "Wide Boys," and "Delayed Reaction" being the best examples of the bizarre commingling of a Elvis Costello influence with Foghat's reflexive blues sensibilities. An interesting effort, Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce might actually captivate extremely open-minded new wave fans and Foghat completists. ~ Vincent Jeffries

Lost and Gone Forever by Guster (CD - 09/28/1999)
"Lost and Gone Forever" (09/28/1999) Rock & Pop Guster, RepriseGuster: Adam Gardner (vocals, guitar, trumpet, bass); Ryan Miller (vocals, guitar, piano, organ); Brian Rosenworcel (vocals, trombone, percussion). Additional personnel: Tracy Silverman (violin, viola); Dan Rieter (cello); Karl Denson (flute, saxophone); Tony Levin (bass, Chapman stick); Chris Manning (bass); Page McConnell (Theremin). Recorded at The Plant, Sausalito, California and Bearsville Studio, Bearsville, New York in 1999. Personnel: Adam Gardner (vocals, guitar, trumpet); Ryan Miller (vocals, guitar, piano, organ); Eric Casimiro, Alicia Berger, Emily Martinez, Kristen Randall, Katherine Forgacs, Alysa, D. Buchanan, Lisa Williams (whistling); Tracy Silverman (violin, viola); Dan Rieter (cello); Karl Denson (flute, saxophone); Brian Rosenworcel (trombone, typewriter); Page McConnell (Theremin). Audio Mixers: John Siket; Steve Lillywhite. Recording information: Bearsville Sound Studios, Bearsville, NY (1999); The Record Plant, Sausalito, CA (1999). Photographers: Chris Buck; Sam Erickson; James Ragsdale. Unknown Contributor Roles: Alicia Berger; Eric Casmiro; Emily Martinez; Kristen Randall; Katherine Forgacs; Alysa, D. Buchanan; Lisa Williams. Signing to a major-label doesn't really change Guster's outlook for their third album, Lost & Gone Forever. However, the switch to the big leagues has given the band the opportunity to hire a heavy-hitter producer, Steve Lillywhite, who performs a similar function here that he did with Dave Matthews. Lillywhite doesn't attempt to change Guster's jovial folk-pop, but he helps them focus and gives them a clear, vibrant sonic palette that makes Lost & Gone Forever sound inviting and intimate. That's a blessing, since it highlights their effortless melodic gifts, warm harmonies, and quirky arrangements. And, depending on your view, it may also be a bit of a curse since it highlights the group's cutesy, jokey side, which can be a little irritating. Still, Lost & Gone Forever is not only Guster's best-sounding record, it's among their most consistent, filled with some of their strongest, catchiest tunes. In other words, it's exactly what their major-label debut should have been. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Copperfields by The Dillards (CD - 12/15/2004)
"Copperfields" (12/15/2004) Rock & Pop Dillards (The), Collectors' Choice MusicThe Dillards' second album with rock-influenced arrangements was not as barrier-busting as 1968's Wheatstraw Suite, and further removed from their bluegrass roots. However, it was a similarly eclectic and, for the most part, joyous romp through a fusion of bluegrass, rock, folk, and country, with a bit of pop and orchestration along the ride, and the group's superb vocal harmonies being the main constant. "Touch Her If You Can" was the number with the most pop and orchestration, and worked extremely well, with its achingly sad melody. If anything the Dillards did on Elektra could have been a hit single, this would have been a likely candidate. Their unusual a cappella arrangement of the Beatles' "Yesterday" caught some attention, and "Brother John" is another simultaneous detour and highlight, with its Dave Brubeck-influenced jazzy rhythms and guitar picking that recalled the Byrds' psychedelic era. While other tracks, like the bluegrass tune "Old Man at the Mill" and Eric Andersen's "Close the Door Lightly," were more in the standard country-rock mode, they're also good, with the musicians applying care and creative production to the material throughout the disc. ~ Richie Unterberger

The Ancient Music of Christmas by Ethan James (CD - 09/07/1999)
"The Ancient Music of Christmas" (09/07/1999) Rock & Pop James, Ethan, HannibalPersonnel: Ethan James (hurdy-gurdy, percussion, harmonium, dulcimer, saz, portative organ, 6- & 12-string guitars); Catherine Edward Alexander (percussion). Recorded at Reptile's Cloister, Hollywood, California. A brilliant recording of ancient holiday carols, this is a very traditional Christmas album in the most classic sense. Moving from hurdy-gurdy to saz (a Middle eastern lute) to guitar, the multi-talented Ethan James delivers a wonderfully refined set of carols, accompanied only by Catherine Alexander on percussion. Unless you're an ancient music scholar, most of the 15 tunes here will be unfamiliar, but it's a beautiful holiday recording nonetheless. ~ Bret Love

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. Audio Mixer: Chris Thomas . Recording information: Finsbury Park, London, England. Photographers: Neal Preston; Kate Garner. 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.

Roadrunner United:... [CD & DVD] [PA] [10/11]
"Roadrunner United: The All Star Sessions [PA]" (10/11/2005) Rock & Pop Various Artists, Roadrunner Records (USA)ROADRUNNER UNITED: THE ALL-STAR SESSIONS features members of Roadrunner bands collaborating as four different "teams." Bands include: Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Type O Negative, Trivium, Chimaira, Coal Chamber, Machine Head, Fear Factory, Life Of Agony, King Diamond, Cradle Of Filth, VOD, Sepultura, Opeth, Soulfly, Misfits, DevilDriver, Glassjaw, Ill Nino and Obituary. Personnel: Robert Flynn (vocals, guitars); Keith Caputo (vocals, piano); Glen Benton, Howard Jones, King Diamond, Mark Hunter, Max Cavalera, Daryl Palumbo, Dani Filth, Kyle Thomas (vocals); Dino Cazares, Matthew K. Heafy (guitars); Josh Silver (keyboards, background vocals); Nadja Peulen (electric bass); Joey Jordison (drums). For Roadrunner's 25th anniversary, the pioneering heavy metal/hard rock label came up with a novel concept: four super groups composed of current and former Roadrunner artists, with more Roadrunner alumni guesting on each track. ROADRUNNER UNITED: THE ALL-STAR SESSIONS is the result. Based on core bands led by Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, ex-Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares, Machine Head guitarist/vocalist Robert Flynn, and Trivium leader Matthew Heafy, the album covers a wide swath of aggressive styles, from the proggy thrash/death metal of "Annihilation by the Hands of God" to the old-school stoner boogie grooves of "Blood and Flames."
