It Came from Nashville

Rock & roll at its heart, with gimmicks on its shoulder. Lots of fun. ~ Robert Gordon, All Music Guide Read More

At the River's Edge
Artist: New Colony Six

Twenty-two tracks, including all of the worthwhile songs from their classic Breakthrough album, a non-LP single, and most of their second album, Colonization. The only New Colony Six package worth owning. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide Read More

Choir Practice
Artist: The Choir

This 18-song CD is the first official compilation of their work that covers their entire career, from 1966 to 1969. As the group cut only a few singles during their lifetime, most of this is previously unissued, culled from their generous vault of demos...The Americanized mod-Merseybeat of "It's Cold Outside" is delightful; other originals like...

Is It...Man or Astro-Man?
Artist: Man or Astro-man?
Community Score: 6.00

Escapist treats abound from this mysterious, tongue-in-cheek collective from the Southern United States. Man or Astro-man? have an ear for yesterday's sounds of tomorrow, as they decorate their mostly instrumental tracks with obscure sound bytes from out-of-date sci-fi movies and forgotten TV shows. Silly, dangerous, occasionally sloppy, but... Read More

Amorica - BONUS TRACKS
Artist: The Black Crowes

On Amorica, the Black Crowes finally come into their own, taking their cue from the most relaxed, groove-oriented tracks on their previous album. While the album contains no immediately obvious singles, the songs are the best the band has ever written, stretching out into a hard, jam-oriented, funky blues-rock. The Black Crowes' influences are... Read More

Mono USA
Artist: Ben Vaughn

Who knew that artists as disparate as Fred Neil, the Ventures, and Alan Vega were actually spiritual kin? Ben Vaughn knew all along and he proved it on this album of covers. Vaughn has always been part musicologist, and he probably thumbed through a record collection the size of two rooms to rescue the songs (and in some instances, the artists... Read More

Latin Playboys
Artist: Latin Playboys

These are hardly "songs" in the conventional sense; more like eccentric sketches that create haunting moods. The players bounce back and forth between scratchy traditional Latin music, free-associating blues numbers, and spaced-out honky-tonk. Grounded in roots music, the lyrics and song structures are almost impressionistic in tone, creating an... Read More

A Mother of an Anthology
Artist: Grandmothers

In the early '80s a loose aggregate of musicians -- many of whom were former Mothers Of Invention (MOI) -- began performing as the Grandmothers. The band centred on the talents of seminal Frank Zappa sidemen Jimmy Carl Black (percussion/vocals/Indian of the group), Bunk Gardner (sax/trumpet/flute) and Don Preston (keyboards). At various points... Read More
