King Of The Road: The Genius Of Roger Miller
: :Comedy gets no respect. If Merle Haggard sums up the dilemma of the American working class from the hard-bitten perspective of 'Mama Tried' or 'The Bottle Let Me Down,' he's called a blue-collar poet. If Roger Miller captures the same predicament from the warped, comic perspective of 'You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd,' he's dismissed as a novelty writer. And yet, a great comic song is just as hard to write as a serious one and sheds just as much light on its subject. Nashville has been home to ...

Original Singles Collection...Plus
: :This three-CD, 84-song indoctrination to The Basic Hank may not actually offer all of Hank's singles (it's missing most of his Luke the Drifter tunes, and his duets with Audrey), but it goes a long way to explain why Williams was country's first big legend and a superstar by 25. Smitten with the blue yodel of Jimmie Rodgers and the mountain whine of Roy Acuff, Williams gradually added a racy edge to brew his own style of honky-tonk. And with the good-natured wink of 'Hey, Good Lookin,' the Cajun spice of ...

Grateful Dead: Beyond Description (1973-1989)
:Album Description:This monumental 12-disc assemblage presents the band's amazing, long strange trip from 1973 to 1989, encompassing the albums released on their own Grateful Dead Records label and later Arista. It's an essential companion piece on Rhino's first 12-CD Dead box, The Golden Road (1965-1973), which spotlighted the entirety of their early Warner Brothers output and concurrent evolution from a scruffy hippie outfit in the Haight to one of the biggest bands on the planet. Including studio masterpieces and live landmarks alike, Beyond Description enhances this repertoire with the sonic brilliance ...

Asylum Album Box Set (9CD)
:Album Description:The Eagles reunited in the studio for 1994's Hell Freezes Over, and they continue to tour to great acclaim, but their reputation was made on the stellar repertoire they recorded from '72-'80, presented here in one collection for the first time. It all began in the early '70s when the band soared above their origins as harmony-heavy roots-rockers to emerge as the defining artists of the influential Southern California scene. They delivered four consecutive #1 albums that decade; three are contained herein (the fourth was their 1976 Greatest Hits). Ultimately ...

Switched-On Boxed Set
from: East Side Digital
: :In 1968, keyboardist-composer Wendy Carlos released Switched-On Bach, her bestselling LP featuring baroque music performed on the Moog synthesizer. Carlos intended to spread the gospel of electronic classical music through this quirky release; instead, she sold more albums than Karlheinz Stockhausen could ever dream of, released a few follow-ups, and paved the way for Hot Butter's 'Popcorn.' Carlos has since become well known for more than just these wacky classical interpretations--she recorded the soundtracks to A Clockwork Orange and Tron and released new works--but the Switched-Ons are the goofy synthesizer recordings ...

My Lives
: :For the casual fan, The Essential Billy Joel still does the trick. However, this five-disc set rewards fans who have stuck by the Piano Man through the last four decades. Packed with 66 tracks, 23 previously unreleased, My Lives includes rare solo demos, b-sides, soundtrack hits, unexpected cover songs and plenty of blackmail material. Before hitting his stride as a hugely successful pop artist, it turns out Joel put in time with psychedelic rockers (Lost Souls), pseudo R&B players (the Hassles) and a prog-metal duo (Attila). It's all here. What this ...
