Buffalo Springfield Box Set
: 's Best of 2001:Though they're recognized as a seminal influence on American rock music (variously fostering the careers of Neil Young, Stephen Stills, CSN&Y, Richie Furay, Poco, and even Loggins & Messina), L.A.'s Buffalo Springfield were perpetually star-crossed by personal squabbles and legal travails during their two-year tenure. Even this extensive four-disc overview was delayed for a decade by disagreements among the Springfield alums. Arranged chronologically, the set offers up a wealth of previously unreleased demos by band mainstays Young, Stills, and Furay, mostly spare acoustic ...

Sanders' Truckstop
: :Imagine you're at your local country bar, when some longhaired fella takes the stage. He doesn't look quite right, but you figure he's ok, especially when he and his band start playing some twangin' honky-tonk tunes. But then you start listening to the lyrics, and holy mother-of-kinky-friedman, danged if he isn't making fun of...you! This 1970 album of satirical barroom stomps and cry-in-your-beer ballads didn't make Ed Sanders any friends in Nashville, but they just might make you salt your suds with tears of laughter.

The Essential Marty Robbins: 1951-1982
: :Country's jack-of-all-trades, Marty Robbins handled so many musical styles so well. The common threads were his shivering, fragile tenor; an ability to tastefully emote; and of course, an uncanny knack for appealing to popular tastes. From his earliest heart-rending ballads to his Western sagas, rockabilly romps, countrypolitan crooning, standards, and even his kitschy pop, Robbins lent them all a grace and civility that was simply hard to resist because he never (well, rarely) confused accessibility with shallowness. Though best known for bringing the cowboy uptown, Robbins ...

The Doors' box Perception (get it?), cleverly packaged as... a door, does hold some astonishing music, but the thing itself ...

Synchronistic Wanderings
: :With the arrival of the 1980s, Nancy Reagan was picking out new White House china, MTV was taking its first baby steps, and Pat Benatar was surging forward as a new kind of female rock star. Brassy, eye-catching, and possessed of a four-and-a-half-octave voice, the small-framed, big-voiced New Yorker first caused a stir in 1979 with the hits 'Heartbreaker' and 'We Live for Love,' the latter penned by lead guitarist and Benatar's future husband, Neil Gerardo. In the early '80s, Benatar scored repeatedly with snarling rockers ...

Beg, Scream & Shout!: The Big Ol' Box Of 60's Soul
: :Extravagance in packaging is no vice, especially when the media--six CDs wrapped in mockup 45 sleeves inside one of those carrying cases that were the in thing for late-'60s singles buyers--so perfectly enhance the sounds contained within. Of course, it's what's in the digital bitstream that counts, and Beg, Scream & Shout!'s selections are masterfully chosen. Unlike Rhino's excellent but somewhat predictable R&B Box, this one strikes a better balance between well-known hits and artists and great sides by second-tier acts. This approach allows many more ...
