Artist: Brian Setzer Album: The Knife Feels Like Justice
Released: 1986 Source: Razor & Tie Genre: rock
Format: eac.ape
Quote
After the Stray Cats broke up for the first
of several times in 1984, guitarist and frontman Brian Setzer seemed
determined to prove he could do a lot more than make like Eddie Cochran,
and his first solo set was 1986's surprisingly ambitious The Knife
Feels Like Justice. Leaving his rockabilly influences at home for the
time being, Setzer reinvented himself as a thoughtful heartland rocker
on this set, which shows clear influences of Bruce Springsteen and John
Mellencamp's work of the period,

Artist: The Black Crowes Album: Warpaint
Released: 2008 Source: Silver Arrow (61127) Genre: rock and
roll, southern rock
Quote
Warpaint
is the first studio album from the Black Crowes in seven years — not
that you can really tell. The Crowes still bang out that old-school
boogie that might be three or four decades old if it wasn't brand-new.
All the obvious ingredients that fueled their 1990 debut, Shake Your
Money Maker, are still in place, from singer Chris Robinson's Jagger
swagger to the band's Faces-style barroom juking. Even Robinson's
battles with his brother/guitar player Rich, apparently dormant for now,
have alway

The
best-known alter ego of the Harry Vanda/George Young songwriting team
(the creative force behind the Easybeats), Flash and the Pan began
simply as a between-production project in 1976. By 1979, the project had
turned out a novelty hit with the single "Hey St. Peter." A second
single, "Down Among the Dead," also became a hit throughout Australia
and Europe, inspiring the release of the album Flash and the Pan.
American radio began playing import copies which led to

Artist: Ministry Album: Rockabilly Riot,
Vol. 1: A Tribute to Sun Records Released: 2005 Genre:
Rock/Rockabilly Revival Format: eac.ape
Quote
The
concept is stated in the title and the execution is about what you'd
expect from one of the most popular rockabilly revivalists in
contemporary music. It's not much of a stretch for Stray Cat Brian
Setzer to take a break from writing his own rockabilly tunes that often
sound like classic Sun material anyway, but by narrowing his focus
roughly from 1954 to early 1957 and sticking with music produced by the
king of country music record labels, he scores credibility p

Artist: Status Quo Album: Back To Back Released: 2006
Genre: Rock/Rock'n'roll Format: eac.ape.covers
Quote
Their unlucky 13th album, "Back To Back" was
hailed as the band's most diverse album until that point when released
on 25th November, 1983. For some diehard supporters, the inclusion of an
emotional ballad like "Too Close To The Ground" (written by Parfitt and
keyboard player Andrew Bown) and the pop-flavoured "Win Or Lose"
(courtesy of Rossi and Bernie Frost) saw them guilty of venturing too
far from the group's original blueprint. Regardless, "Back To Back"
smashed its way into the British chart at Num

Review:
Quote
Apparently,
there was a gap in the Beatles' catalog, after all — all the big hits
weren't on one tidy, single-disc compilation. It's not the kind of gap
you'd necessarily notice — it's kind of like realizing you don't have a
pair of navy blue dress socks — but it was a gap all the same, so the
group released The Beatles 1 late in 2000, coinciding with the
publication of their official autobiography, the puzzlingly titled
Anthology. The idea behind this compilatio

Artist: Don McLean Album: American Pie
Released: 1971 Source: EMI America Genre: Soft rock
Format: eac.ape.174mb
Review: Don McLean's second
album, American Pie, which was his first to gain recognition after the
negligible initial sales of 1970's Tapestry, is necessarily dominated by
its title track, a lengthy, allegorical history of rock & roll,
because it became an unlikely hit, topping the singles chart and putting
the LP at number one as well. "American Pie" has remained as much a
cultural touchstone as a song, sung by everyone from Garth Brooks to
Madonna, its title borrowed for a pair of smutty teen comedies, while
the record itself has earned a registered three-million plays on U.S.
radio stations. There may not be much more to note about it, then,
except perhaps that even without a crib sheet t
