2005 – UNIVERSAL SOUTH
Produced By MIKE MCCLURE

1. Fightin’ For
2. After All
3. Dimebag
4. Breakdown
5. Sister
6. When It All Goes Down
7. Final Curtain
8. Late Last Night
9. Blues For You
10. SS #10
11. Lighthouse Keeper
12. This Time Around
13. Who Do You Love
14. Bad Habit

This was one fine band. And no, they are nowhere near being from Canada. The name actually comes from the four original band members (Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale and original bassist Matt Weidermann). This band hails from Oklahoma, and they had a nice 15 year run as one of alt-country and southern rock’s better bands. Garage is the fifth of their seven albums, and it’s pretty much their best work. It’s also their most rocking album, featuring some terrific guitar work and songs that fall well outside of the usual fare for country music. It’s heavy yet tuneful, lyrical and lovely, and never snoozy. Cross Canadian Ragweed made some fine records during the first decade of the 2000’s before they split up in 2010, and none finer than 2005’s Garage, which was named because of their desire to capture the sound of a garage band.

It worked. This is a rock and roll record. It’s as rock as anything by Drive-By Truckers or Lynyrd Skynyrd. Count that as a victory. “Fightin’ For”, “Late Last Night”, and “This Time Around” are highlights…but the real keeper here is “Dimebag”, a tribute to Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, who had been killed onstage a few months before. The album also features a Bo Diddley cover, and maybe the heaviest and coolest alt country track ever in “Lighthouse Keeper”, which features a Skynyrd like guitar finish. It’s absolutely glorious. CCR (now, where have I heard those letters together before?) had a wonderful career, and any of their albums are worth checking out. But Garage is the one you really want to have. Unsung alt-country heroes. At their ultimate rocking very best. You’ll be very happy with this one.

Super Fly 
Soundtrack
1972 – CURTOM
Produced By CURTIS MAYFIELD

1. Little Child Runnin’ Wild
2. Pusherman
3. Freddie’s Dead
4. Junkie Chase (Instrumental)
5. Give Me Your Love (Love Song)
6. Eddie You Should Know Better
7. No Thing On Me (Cocaine Song)
8. Think (Instrumental)
9. Superfly

As a producer and songwriter during his peak in the 1960’s and 70’s, Curtis Mayfield was matched only by the great Smokey Robinson…and Robinson was always reluctant to step into anything even mildly controversial. Mayfield, who began his career with The Impressions, was never afraid to air it all out, singing about racial issues, drugs, and violence. Superfly, the soundtrack to the 1972 blaxploitation film about a drug dealer, came on the heels of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On album, and the two stand as the ultimate in concept soul albums about issues of the day. Because of the subject matter of the film he was writing for, Mayfield’s album is more immediate and in your face. It is also the pinnacle of Mayfield’s career. Superfly has nothing second rate on it anywhere, and is simply a genius work through and through…not only one of the greatest soul and funk albums of the 70’s, but also one of the best of all time.

While everything here is strong, there are two tracks that really stand out here. The title track (and closer) is a sly, funk driven track with punctuating horns that is immediate and perfect. The other track is “Freddie’s Dead”, a song about a character in the movie who is run over by a car. It is a great song driven by a perfect guitar riff and a wonderfully executed string arrangement. These tracks made Mayfield’s career, and those who were sold by them got to experience the rest of the greatness of Superfly. Mayfield remained prolific through the 70’s before slowing down in the 80’s. In 1990, a bank of stage lights fell on him, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down, effectively ending his career. He died in 1999, leaving behind a most impressive body of work…none of it greater than Superfly. This album is pure greatness, and you really should own it.

2001 – COLUMBIA
Produced By CAKE

1. Opera Singer
2. Meanwhile, Rick James…
3. Shadow Stabbing
4. Short Skirt / Long Jacket
5. Commissioning A Symphony In C
6. Arco Arena
7. Comfort Eagle
8. Long Line Of Cars
9. Love You Madly
10. Pretty Pink Ribbon
11. World Of Two

There are two things that once made Cake (or CAKE) a good and fun band. They rocked, and they had a sense of humor. Both of these things made Fashion Nugget a success. The lack of both of these things make Comfort Eagle more of a bore than anything. They do step up and make “Short Skirt / Long Jacket” a fine track, but beyond that, there’s not a whole lot to recommend this one. Singer John McCrea sounds bored, and seems to have forgotten his sense of melody much of the time. The charm of having a trumpet player in the band (Vince DiFiore) seems to have been lost as well, as his instrument is used more sparingly than ever.

More than anything else, though, the band sounds like they want this to be over already. Which works to your advantage, because maybe the best thing about Comfort Eagle is that it’s barely 35 minutes long. When inspired and on point, this is a fun band to listen to. When they are neither of those things, the result is a flat effort like Comfort Eagle. Even crafty song titles can’t save the tracks from being so so, and the singles “Arco Arena” and “Love You Madly” failed for good reason. If you like Cake, you should stick to the earlier stuff. Comfort Eagle has none of that magic, and it’s disappointing to hear a band that can have the energy that they have had in the past sound so flat and out of it.

Some of my favourite albums are here and also some that I think is garbage (come on: pump up the jam) but I suppose it's normal because it's your 900 to 1000 favorites. In any case congratulations for making the effort to construct such a fine top 1000
