Steve Miller Band
: :It would've been news if Steve Miller hadn't grown up to be a musician. Les Paul (a Wisconsin friend of Miller's physician father) taught him his first chords, and Miller gleaned his bluesy, melodic sense from T-Bone Walker, a frequent guest at the family's back-yard parties. That innate musicality permeates Miller's satisfying box set (generously kicked off with early home recordings of those two childhood heroes), placing a warm artistic sensibility ahead of slavish devotion to historical chronology. The result is one of the most ...

Platinum: A Life in Music
: :The four-CD box-set Platinum was released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Elvis's death. While much of the material here is made up of familiar hits, there are also 77 unreleased performances spread over the set. Of course, unreleased doesn't necessarily mean better. The original versions of 'Heartbreak Hotel,' 'Rip It Up,' and 'That's All Right' are so firmly embedded as the foundations of rock & roll that the new versions here add little luster. But what makes Platinum a real treasure-trove is hearing Elvis ...

Love Story 1966-1972
: :Love was the Los Angeles psychedelic band of the '60s. Indeed, rivals the Doors wanted to be Love, and the Rolling Stones stole more than a few ideas from their trippier moments. Led by Arthur Lee and (during their finest years) ex-Byrds roadie Bryan MacLean, Love ran the musical gamut from proto-punk ('7 and 7 Is') to lushly orchestrated pop ('Alone Again Or') and released one of rock's true masterpieces, 1967's Forever Changes. This two-CD collection brings together many of the band's best moments, beginning ...

Hotcakes & Outtakes: 30 Years of Little Feat
: :These 83 songs go a long way toward demonstrating how Little Feat evolved their hard-to-define but infectious swamp-rock, blues, and boogie sound. The final disc in the four-disc Hotcakes & Outtakes, dubbed 'Studio Outtakes,' offers up the very first demo tapes made by Lowell George, the mastermind of the group. Backed by keyboardist Billy Payne, drummer Richie Hayward, and bassist Roy Estrada (the first player to leave the band), George's down-and-dirty slide guitar and plaintive voice blend grit, intelligence, and humor. Combining an off-center Southern ...
