1988-ROUNDER
Produced By SOLOMON BURKE

1. Introduction/Everybody Needs Somebody To Love
2. Medley: Tonight's The Night/Beautiful Brown Eyes/Just A Matter Of Time/Monologue (The Women Of Today)/Hold What You've Got/He'll Have To Go
3. Cry To Me
4. Medley: Monologue/Take Me (Just As I Am)/I Can't Stop Loving You/Monologue/I Can't Stop Loving You (Reprise)
5. Down In The Valley
6. Proud Mary
7. Introduction To Encore/Gotta Get You Off My Mind (Instrumental)
8. Medley: Meet Me In Church/The Price/Words/Monologue
9. Medley: You're Good For Me/Send Me Some Lovin'
10. Medley: Gotta Get You Off My Mind/Having A Party/Amen

If there's anyone who knows how to throw a party, it's Solomon Burke. Soul Alive is a masterful live show from this master of soul that will leave you standing, clapping, screaming for more, and maybe speaking in tongues while you're at it. Burke's energy is non-stop, and the songs just keep coming at you. His monologues are pretty excelklent too...rants about being good to your women, not forgetting to tell the one you love that you love them. Burke's messages are positive and laced with soul.

And songwise...the medleys are flawless. Single songs like "Cry To Me" and "Down In The Valley" are beautifully done, and he does "Proud Mary" plenty of justice. This is a truly great live album...and revival show...and church service...all rolled up into one neat little package. Excellent.

2015 – ASTHMATIC KITTY
Produced By THOMAS BARTLETT

1. Death With Dignity
2. Should Have Known Better
3. All Of Me Wants All Of You
4. Drawn To The Blood
5. Eugene
6. Fourth Of July
7. The Only Thing
8. Carrie & Lowell
9. John My Beloved
10. No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross
11. Blue Bucket Of Gold

Just…wow. Those who were expecting another electronic based album from Sufjan Stevens were in for a massive and beautiful surprise. Carrie And Lowell is his seventh album, and it’s an acoustic masterpiece. Loaded with lovely, sparse, emotional and personal songs, this lo-fi record is one of the best albums of the decade. Stevens was grieving over the loss of his mother (Carrie), and wrote the songs based largely on his memories of growing up with her and his stepfather (Lowell). His mother lived a tortured life. She was depressed, schizophrenic, and these pains left their mark on Stevens. Some of our greatest music comes from dealing with pain and loss. This is a perfect example of that.

These songs are painful and brilliant. The best tracks are “Should Have Known Better”, “Fourth Of July”, and especially “Death With Dignity”. There is not a weak one here. And there is not a moment that will fail to pull at your heartstrings. Carrie & Lowell is why Sufjan Stevens is held in such high regard. This is his masterpiece. It’s sad and melancholy and it’s simply tremendous. This is why I buy albums…to be taken in by works as deeply emotional as this is. Stevens has had a great career, but for me, nothing by him tops this album. If you think that there’s nothing worth hearing in this decade that leaves the classic rock generation behind, then I suggest you go out and find Carrie & Lowell. You are most welcome.

1977 – ATLANTIC
Produced By DAVID CROSBY, STEPHEN STILLS & GRAHAM NASH WITH RON ALBERT & HOWARD ALBERT

1. Shadow Captain
2. See The Changes
3. Carried Away
4. Fair Game
5. Anything At All
6. Cathedral
7. Dark Star
8. Just A Song Before I Go
9. Run From Tears
10. Cold Rain
11. In My Dreams
12. I Give You Give Blind

Supergroups. They tend to not last for very long. Case in point: Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes Young) played Woodstock and quickly released a pair of albums between 1969 and 1970, then aside from a tour in 1974, did nothing substantial together until 1977. CSN was their third album, but it was already a comeback effort. Their last studio record had been 1970’s Déjà Vu. Neil Young was not around for this one, and the trio wrote all of the songs individually. David Crosby and Graham Nash contributed three songs each, with the other six written by Stephen Stills. CSN sold more copies than their 1969 debut, and was a top ten album in several countries. Star power is what they had, and everyone wanted to know what they had to say after all these years.

The best songs here are from Nash. The sadly short “Just A Song Before I Go” is pure harmony heaven, and “Cathedral” is a perfect centerpiece. Stills checks in with a pair of FM radio staples, “Dark Star” and “Fair Game” (with that awful line about her looking at your crotch). But for the first time in their career (and not the last), there’s quite a bit of filler. The sharp songwriting skills of Stills had begun to fade, and the immediacy of their sound during the Vietnam era now sounded lazy and overly mellow. This album also marked the beginning of Crosby and Stills’ preoccupation with sailing, putting them more on a line with Jimmy Buffett than where they had come from. CSN was viewed at the time as a huge victory, but these days, it’s not much more than average work from a superstar group that had much better work in their rear view mirror.

1974-ASYLUM
Produced By BILL SZYMCZYK

1. Already Gone
2. You Never Cry Like A Lover
3. Midnight Flyer
4. My Man
5. On The Border
6. James Dean
7. Ol' 55
8. Is It True?
9. Good Day In Hell
10. The Best Of My Love

Two albums away from Hotel California, the Eagles released their most underrated and underappreciated album, On The Border. For their third album, the band wanted to move into a more rock sound, and they got it here. "Already Gone" is a great song, "The Best Of My Love" was a huge hit, but the songs in between speak volumes about what this band could really do. "Midnight Flyer" soars and shows that rockers really can pull off a bluegrass tune: "You Never Cry Like A Lover" is gorgeous, and the title track is easily the most overlooked song of their career...it's simply great. "Ol' 55" is a fine Tom Waits cover, and "My Man" is Bernie Leadon's tribute to Gram Parsons. On The Border is easily the very best of the pre-Hotel California albums. Criminally ignored.

During the recording, the band discovered Don Felder, who was brought in to play on a couple of songs and became a permanent member. Buy this, play the title track and "Midnight Flyer" loud, and see what you've been missing.

1999 – REPRISE
Produced By WILCO

1. Can’t Stand It
2. She’s A Jar
3. A Shot In The Arm
4. We’re Just Friends
5. I’m Always In Love
6. Nothing’severgonnastandinmyway(again)
7. Pieholden Suite
8. How To Fight Loneliness
9. Via Chicago
10. ELT
11. My Darling
12. When You Wake Up Feeling Old
13. Summer Teeth
14. In A Future Age
15. Candyfloss
16. A Shot In The Arm (Alternate Version)

In 1999, with the release of their third album Summerteeth, Wilco was on the verge of greatness. They were moving steadily away from the alt-country roots of Uncle Tupelo and closer to the experimental excellence of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but what was really making Wilco a special band was the growing presence of Jay Bennett. Bennett had joined Wilco in 1994, and his abilities on a wide array of instruments were making Wilco into a very special band. Summerteeth has not only him as a strength, but also the continuing improvement of Jeff Tweedy as a songwriter. They weren’t quite there yet (that would be on their next album), but Summerteeth is definitely close to as good as Wilco would get. The sound is crisp and immediate, and the songs are very, very good. A definite step up from the second album, Being There.

“Can’t Stand It” was released as a single, and it fared poorly. But there are a bunch of songs that are big improvements for Tweedy lyrically (he was having marital problems and was reading a lot of American literature, both of which are clear in the songs), including “A Shot In The Arm” and “Via Chicago”. The real highlight, though, is the work of Bennett, whose instrumental prowess gives the band a depth they would otherwise never have. The partnership between Tweedy and Bennett would sour during the recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, with Bennett being fired as soon as that album was released (he then release a slew of solo albums before dying in his sleep in 2009). Summerteeth is the album where Wilco really grew up, a huge step from where they had been,, and a great foreshadow of where they were going. Not perfect, but more than worthwhile.

1998 – RCA
Produced By PAUL FOX

1. Come On
2. Two Bucks In Cash
3. Miss America
4. Upspin
5. Miss Misbelieving
6. Shortchange
7. Smiling Up The Frown
8. Time Bomb
9. Hoping, Waiting, Longing
10. Hobby
11. Where’d You Get That Vibe?
12. I’ll Be Back

Agents Of Good Roots was an American band that built a good following playing the college circuit in the mid nineties. After a pair of self released albums, they were signed by RCA and released their major label debut, One By One, in 1998. They scored a pair of decent hits with “Come On” and “Smiling Up The Frown” before ending up on tour with the Dave Matthews Band, getting signed by Matthews label, and releasing the absolutely lifeless follow up album, Needle And Thread in 2000. But One By One is actually one heck of an album. Their energy is awesome, the songs are mostly very good, and even though they had a sax player, they never overused him. In 1998, this was an album worth hearing by a band worth watching. They could be heavy, artsy, and they had a groove that obviously attracted Matthews to them.

The two minor hits are fine, but there’s more to this band than those songs. “Miss America” is a real rocker that even namedrops The Black Crowes. “Time Bomb”, “Where’d You Get That Vibe?” and especially “Two Bucks In Cash” are great, as is the mellower and soulful “Hoping, Waiting, Longing”. These guys seemed to be on the edge of a major breakthrough…instead, the next album sank like a rock and they were never heard from again. Too bad. One By One isn’t the greatest album in the world, but it showed a world of promise, and it still sounds pretty great today. You might have to look for it these days, but because of the interwebs, it won’t take you long to find it. A lot of great bands came from the nineties…but don’t forget the almost greats like Agents Of Good Roots.

1985-A&M
Produced By STING & PETE SMITH

1. If You love Somebody Set Them Free
2. Love Is The Seventh Wave
3. Russians
4. Children's Crusade
5. Shadows In The Rain
6. We Work The Black Seam
7. Consider Me Gone
8. The Dream Of The Blue Turles
9. Moon Over Bourbon Street
10. Fortress Around Your Heart

Maybe the best way to describe what this album became was on February 14th, 1987. the legendary Los Angeles rock radio station KMET was changing their format, and they were playing as many rock songs as they could without interruption. When the time came, they announced that they were now a new age station, and they led off with "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free".

And so has been the career of former Police frontman Sting. He's gone from a punk/new wave icon to a new age borefest, and he's never stopped. The good thing about Blue Turtles is that it's as close to his former work in rock as he's ever been, and it does contain some pretty good songs. but unless you're into the lite jazz music that he's now so well known for, you'll be disappointed. Even as good as this sounds, it's still a major step in the wrong direction. To be fair, it's his direction. But it can be a tough one to grasp.
