1998 – MONUMENT
Produced By BLAKE CHANCEY & PAUL WORLEY

1. I Can Love You Better
2. Wide Open Spaces
3. Loving Arms
4. There’s Your Trouble
5. You Were Mine
6. Never Say Die
7. Tonight The Heartache’s On Me
8. Let ‘Er Rip
9. Once You’ve Loved Somebody
10. I’ll Take Care Of You
11. Am I The Only One (Who’s Ever Felt This Way)
12. Give It Up Or Let Me Go

Before they were cancelled by the good folks who love to complain about cancelling…The (then) Dixie Chicks replaced lead singer Laura Lynch with Natalie Maines and hit paydirt with their fourth album, Wide Open Spaces. The talent of instrumentalists (and backup singers) Emily Strayler and Martie Seidel had never been in question, but it was the addition of Maines that made the difference. With a powerful and perfect country voice in the fold, The Chicks were suddenly a force to be reckoned with. This rollicking set of songs is mostly well chosen, and without exception well played and sung. The Chicks became stars here, and they became one hell of a fun group to listen to. And Natalie Maines became the star of the show without it going to her head.

Wide Open Spaces boasts five hit singles, and a whole lot more. “I Can Love You Better”, “Wide Open Spaces” and “There’s Your Trouble” are all great, but don’t sleep on the rest here. Particularly the last three songs, none of which were hits, but which were written by the likes of J.D. Souther, Maria McKee and Bonnie Raitt. Raitt's closing track, “Give It Up Or Let Me Go” finds the group, but especially Maines, cutting as loose as one can cut, and it’s a perfect way to end the album. They serve notice that the Chicks were setting course for a voyage of hits and great albums, and they did not disappoint. This is where the momentum started, where the Chicks found their footing, and where they finally found their leading voice. A great and fun album.

1984 – ELEKTRA
Produced By JIMMY HAYNES & STEEL PULSE

1. Steppin’ Out
2. Tightrope
3. Throne Of Gold
4. Roller Skates
5. Earth Crisis
6. Bodyguard
7. Grab Education
8. Wild Goose Chase

British reggae inspired by Bob Marley. Steel Pulse came together in 1975, and have been playing ever since. They hold the distinction of being the first non-Jamaican reggae band to win a Best Reggae Album Grammy Award. Earth Crisis is their fifth album, and marks their first decade together. And as pleasant and danceable as it sounds, it covers some serious ground. The album cover gives you ample warning about that…Reagan and Andropov are shown as leaders of the cold war. It also includes images of the Pope, the Ku-Klux Klan, Vietnam refugees and starving African children. Quite the picture. The music is not that depressing, even with the subject matter not being all about love and roses.

“Steppin’ Out” was a hit, and everything else follows suit. Earth Crisis is labeled as a serious protest album, but it’s really not much more than some danceable reggae. Nothing really stands out, making it basically background music. This was a step back from their previous album, True Democracy, and a step behind their next, which would be the Grammy winning Babylon The Bandit. Their label, at the time of Earth Crisis, was trying to move the band into a more mainstream direction, which may be why this seems a bit tentative. Even though they are still together, Steel Pulse has slowed way down. Since 2004, they have released just a pair of records (although the last was nominated for another Grammy). Unfortunately, Earth Crisis is simply not remarkable enough to hold much interest.

1977 – A&M
Produced By STYX

1. The Grand Illusion
2. Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)
3. Superstars
4. Come Sail Away
5. Miss America
6. Man In The Wilderness
7. Castle Walls
8. The Grand Finale

Wanna have some fun? Take out that old, dusty copy of The Grand Illusion that you haven’t listened to for the last ten years or so, put it on, and turn it way up. You will swear that this is the single greatest album in the history of mankind, and wonder why you haven’t played it in the last ten years or so. Then…play it again. You will understand why you haven’t played it in the last ten years or so. Then put it away and take it out again in ten years or so. Repeat. Styx is a strange band…they had a small string of prog-lite hits in the seventies, and were semi-energized by the addition of the oh so dreamy Tommy Shaw in mid 1975. Their third album, The Serpent Is Rising, has been called by members of Styx the worst recording in the history of rock.

So, in 1977, The Grand Illusion made them “Superstars”. It is, by far, their most consistent and best album. With Shaw settled in as a full member, his main contribution to the album, “Fooling Yourself”, made them big…but it was Dennis DeYoung, he of the annoying voice and most bombastic keyboard sound this side of Keith Emerson, who hit huge with “Come Sail Away”, the big anthem that finally, after 7 dreary albums, put Styx on the map to stay. The album also contains what may be their best song, James Young’s rocker “Miss America”. It’s true…if you listen to this album once in a great while, you will be amazed…but then put it away. Because that repeat listen will show just how thin and not great it really is. It’s fun…just on rare occasions.

1997 – MERCURY
Produced By ROBERT JOHN “MUTT” LANGE

1. Man! I Feel Like A Woman!
2. I’m Holdin’ On To Love (To Save My Life)
3. Love Gets Me Every Time
4. Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)
5. From This Moment On
6. Come On Over
7. When
8. Whatever You Do! Don’t!
9. If You Wanna Touch Her, Ask!
10. You’re Still The One
11. Honey, I’m Home
12. That Don’t Impress Me Much
13. Black Eyes, Blue Tears
14. I Won’t Leave You Lonely
15. Rock This Country!
16. You’ve Got A Way

The collaboration between Shania Twain and Robert John “Mutt” Lange reached its peak in 1997 with the album Come On Over. Her third album wasn’t just a hit…it destroyed like very few albums in history ever had. Coming off of the huge success of The Woman In Me, no one expected this much more in the way of sales. 40 million worldwide. Twelve of the sixteen tracks were released as singles, with eight in the top ten. Three went to number one. Just in America. Twain and Lange had found a formula, alright. And it was, at least for a few years, a winner. But more than that. This is the album where the line was crossed into the dark world of pop country. And unfortunately, Nashville has never been the same since. So there’s that.

Come On Over has some great moments. “When” and “From This Moment On” are more country than pop, and are great. But those aren’t the songs that made this a smash. “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”, “That Don’t Impress Me Much”, and the awful “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)” formed the unholy trilogy of pop country excess. Fiddles and twangy guitars can’t hide the fact that this record is less country than pop, the keyboards are awful and out of place, and Twain’s trademark “whoo” is more than tired by this time. But none of that matters. Because Come On Over made Twain a massive star, it made pop country a thing that is chased to this day, and it defined Twain as less of a country artist and more of a pop star. All of which is too bad, because the majority of this album is not bad. Not great, but not as terrible as its legacy suggests.

1994-CREATION
Produced By OASIS & MARK COYLE

1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Star
2. Shakermaker
3. Live Forever
4. Up In The Sky
5. Columbia
6. Supersonic
7. Bring It On Down
8. Cigarettes & Alcohol
9. Digsy’s Diner
10. Slide Away
11. Married With Children

Hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since Oasis became the biggest band in Britain, and one of the biggest bands in the world. On the strength of three advance singles, “Supersonic”, “Shakermaker” and “Live Forever”, their debut album Definitely Maybe was released to the largest hoopla in England since the Beatles, coming straight out of the gates at number one. It’s not thet Oasis was really THAT great, but that they came along at a time when the British music scene needed a shot in the arm…and Oasis (along with bands like Blur) delivered. The ride for Oasis was incredible, short, and very rocky, but over their first two albums, they were at the top of their craft. Guitarist Noel Gallagher wrote the songs, which were sung and sneered by his brother Liam, and the formula created a storm of hits.

The three advance singles are excellent, particularly “Live Forever”. “Cigarettes & Alcohol” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star” are also great singles, but the album as a whole is very good. The only drawback is that the band didn’t really have much in the way of original ideas…you can hear bits of many popular songs on the album. But they knew how to make the recycled riffs work, and work very well. Definitely Maybe could be seen as a near perfect storm (the follow up, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory is somehow even better), a band on the verge of total greatness before the excesses of rock & roll took over and ruined them. But in the mid 90’s, there was no one like Oasis, and their first two albums are among the most exciting works of the decade. Definitely a moment to not be missed from the 90’s.

1975-A&M
Produced By DAVID KERSHENBAUM & JOAN BAEZ

1. Diamonds & Rust
2. Fountain Of Sorrow
3. Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer
4. Children And All That Jazz
5. Simple Twist Of Fate
6. Blue Sky
7. Hello In There
8. Jesse
9. Winds Of The Old Days
10. Dida
11. I Dream Of Jeannie/Danny Boy

Joan Baez is blessed with a stunning voice, and she was one of the leading lights in the 60's folk scene. Here she comes back from a period of obscurity with what may be her best songwriting moment. The title track is a beautiful tune, and was even covered successfully by none other than Judas Priest. Her choice of covers is smart...Jackson Browne ("Fountain Of Sorrow"), John Prine ("Hello In There"), Janis Ian ("Jesse"), as well as songs from Stevie Wonder and The Allman Brothers Band. And when she slips into Dylan voice on "Simple Twist Of Fate"...priceless.

The lows are her own songs outside of the title track. "Dida" and "Children And All That Jazz" are unlistenable, even as good as her voice is. Otherwise, this would rate much higher...but it's hard to get past those terrible pieces of filler. Still, skip past them and you have a very interesting album with several high points.

1987 – BLANCO Y NEGRO
Produced By WILLIAM REID, BILL PRICE & JOHN LODER

1. Darklands
2. Deep One Perfect Morning
3. Happy When It Rains
4. Down On Me
5. Nine Million Rainy Days
6. April Skies
7. Fall
8. Cherry Came Too
9. On The Wall
10. About You

In 1985, The Jesus And Mary Chain changed the course of British music with their stunning debut album, Psychocandy. It was a dark, loud and sonically mesmerizing album, and it stood out amazingly in the midst of the eighties. The band had always (and always have had) problems keeping the drummer spot filled (they have had twelve different drummers to date) , so when they went into the studio to record the follow up to Psychocandy, they decided to just use a drum machine and make a more intimate acoustic album. The resulting album, Darklands, is a thing of beauty, and set the course they would follow for the rest of their careers. Darklands is just that…it’s dark. But it’s also got a certain warmth to it, which makes it a lot more relatable than their debut album.

The Chain is led by the Reid brothers, William and Jim. In the synth laden atmosphere of the late eighties, this album is all guitar, and it’s beautiful. The title track is a stunning introduction to the new sound of the band. “April Skies” is wonderful, and “Happy When It Rains” is one of their very best songs. They have never matched the quality of their first two albums, so the ones to own from this band are definitely Psychocandy and Darklands (although 1994’s Stoned And Dethroned comes close). It’s rare when such downward gazing music like this sounds so melodic and grooves like this, which is what makes this album more special. Maybe someday they will duplicate this sound…if they are able to, we will all be in for quite a treat.
