Must I Paint You a Picture? The Essential Billy Bragg
:From Amazon.co.uk:Must I Paint You a Picture is a generous, two-disc, 40-track survey of Bragg's career to date. The tracklisting was apparently assembled with the help of Bragg's fans, who were asked to vote for their favourites on Bragg's website, but this democratic initiative has only been taken so far: while 'Little Time Bomb', for example, was a more popular choice than, say, 'The Boy Done Good', the latter is included and the former isn't. It would, of course, be uncharitable to suggest that this is reflective of the authoritarian instincts ...

Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential 70's Masters
: :Elvis Presley's music in the 1970s is often dismissed as the bombastic, half-hearted hack work of an overweight, pill-addicted, badly dressed has-been. In the liner notes to this five-CD set, Dave Marsh argues that Presley, in fact, created a more impressive body of work in the '70s than almost any other pop act. And the music on this massive anthology backs Marsh up. Stripping away all the garish live recordings and album filler, the package concentrates on a core of 120 songs--the A- and B-sides of every single Presley recorded in ...

Pirate Radio
:Album Description:On 'Brass in Pocket,' one of the pretenders earliest singles-and their first to chart in the U.S., scoring #14 in Billboard-Chrissie Hynde sings, 'I'm special, so special, I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me.' Formed in London in '78 with Hynde, James Honeyman Scott, Martin Chambers, and Pete Farndon, the band received massive attention for that hit and other stellar songs from their 1980 self-titled debut album. Via impeccable musicianship and Hynde's charismatic persona-equal parts cool swagger, tough-but vulnerable lyrics and vocals, and idiosyncratic rhythm guitar-the ...

The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life
: :This double live set showcases the peerless calisthenics abilities of the 1988 Zappa big band on a collection of crowd-pleasing favorites, concert staples and cover songs. Zappa's crystalline Stratocaster sound (a far cry from the 'squank' of the '70s) highlights some of the most lyrical and inspired solo guitar work of his life. Highlights include an adrenaline charged version of 'Zomby Woof' a thoroughly rocking turn at Ravel's Bolero, and a horn arrangement of Jimmy Page's 'Stairway to Heaven' guitar solo. --Andrew Boscardin

The Complete Capitol Singles Collection
: :Each song on this 96-cut collection is wonderful. And the Capitol years were when Sinatra's fullest voice was used on material by the best (Arlen, Porter, Van Heusen, Cahn, Styne). But a purist will miss the narrative that was so special in the original albums. Records such as This is Sinatra, Songs for Swingin' Lovers, and Only the Lonely were among the first concept albums in pop music. If you're used to hearing 'Three Coins in the Fountain' after 'I've Got the World on a String,' this relatively random cornucopia--though full ...
