Country singing star Reba McEntire was born and raised in Oklahoma, so Oklahoma Girl seemed a fitting title when producers began putting this album together, picking songs that covered a lot of McEntire's early career. This album is a must-have for any McEntire fan, and for almost any country fan at all. Oklahoma Girl is a solid two-disc offering. Each disc carries 20 tracks, a total of 40 songs in one buy. The first disc holds numbers such as "A Cowboy Like You," "Right Time of the Night," "The Blues Don't Care Who's Got 'Em," and "Tears on My Pillow." Some of the songs on disc two that fans probably remember the best include "I'm Not That Lonely Yet," "Can't Even Get the Blues No More," "You're the First Time I've Thought About Leaving," and "Pins and Needles." Unless you have all of McEntire's early works, you'll probably find a number of tunes on this set that you are missing - including a few previously unreleased tracks. This is a great way to get a good country collection started with one purchase.

Available in 4CD form and 3LP coloured vinyl this is a dive into the years of house, rave and club anthems, spanning the threshold that saw the 80s turn into the 90s. The CD editions feature 82 tracks while the triple vinyl set offers 46. To give you a feel of what the compilation is about, tracks include Inner City, S’Express with the chart-topping ‘Theme From S-Express’, Deee-Lite’s ‘Groove Is In The Heart’, Soul II Soul & Caron Wheeler’s ‘Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)’, ‘Dub Be Good To Me’ from Beats International and ‘Killer’ from Adamski. ‘Rhythm Is A Dancer’ from SNAP! features on the second of four CDs along with Corona’s ‘The Rhythm Of The Night’, Maxx, Dr. Alban ‘It’s My Life’, Haddaway‘s ‘What Is Love’ and more.

'Revived Remixed Revisited' is a reimagined collection of Reba's most iconic songs. Disc 1, 'Revived', features exciting new arrangements of fan favourites such as 'Is There Life Out There' recorded with Reba's touring band. Disc 2, 'Remixed', takes songs like 'I'm A Survivor' and spins them in ways like you've never heard Reba before. The final disc, 'Revisited' - produced by the Grammy award-winning Dave Cobb - strips back songs like 'Consider Me Gone' to let the raw power of Reba's vocals shine and features a long-awaited pairing between Reba and Dolly Parton on Reba's most famous duet, 'Does He Love You'. The collection spans Reba's entire career and offers something for every Reba fan.

With a wide-ranging virtuosic fluidity, D.C.-based guitarist Shawn Purcell draws on an abundance of musical influences and a refined ensemble cohesion in crafting the journey that Oblivity leads. Inviting the acclaimed saxophonist Walt Weiskopf to share the front line, they energize this dynamic quintet set of all original compositions, along with Purcell's longtime bandmates Chris Ziemba on piano, bassist Jeff Reed, and drummer Steve Fidyk. Darden Purcell also orchestrates several melodies with her wordless vocals and trombonist Ben Patterson guests on two compositions. From searing, fusion-adjacent moments, to fiery post-bop, and spacious, sensitive ballads, Oblivity displays an artful and compelling sonic experience.

More than a quarter-century after Tom Petty's Wildflowers was first released, it can finally be heard the way the singer-songwriter intended. When he turned in 25 songs, hoping for a double album, Warner Bros. asked him to pare it down to one. But just three years past his death, his family and Heartbreakers bandmates Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell (technically a solo release, Wildflowers features most of the band) have restored the record to its original glory and added in a trove of home demos, alternate takes and live tracks—some 70 songs in all. Produced by Rick Rubin while Petty's decades-old marriage was crumbling and he was reportedly battling heroin addiction, the 1994 release remains one of the all-time great break-up records; heard all together, the extended LP (the All The Rest part is produced Petty's longtime engineer Ryan Ulyate)

In the late 1950s and early 1960s the music charts were positively crammed with girl groups of a very different kind. These all consisted of three or four close-harmony singers, usually dressed in matching outfits, with high heels and even higher beehive hairdos. The songs they sang were largely pop rather than R&B or what would come to be called soul. They chronicled the ups and downs of teen romance as it existed in that era. There were jealous boys and jealous girls and rivalry aplenty, not to mention supportive friends and disapproving parents and teachers. Of course, there was also True Love among the 100 songs assembled here.

Schubert’s influence, the spirit of fantasy, and pictures from fairy tales are the common themes in this fifth volume of the Schumann Collection. For this great journey across the Schumannian realm, which starts off with one of his early works, the expansive Quartet for Piano and Strings WoO 32, and concludes with the twilight miniatures of Märchenerzählungen (Fairytale Narrations), brothers Pierre and Théo Fouchenneret are still at the head of a fine team of chamber musicians bringing together long-time collaborators and great talents of the young generation.

If Wishbone Ash can be considered a group who dabbled in the main strains of early-'70s British rock without ever settling on one (were they a prog rock outfit like Yes, a space rock unit like Pink Floyd, a heavy metal ensemble like Led Zeppelin, or just a boogie band like Ten Years After?), the confusion compounded by their relative facelessness and the generic nature of their compositions, Argus, their third album, was the one on which they looked like they finally were going to forge their own unique amalgamation of all those styles into a sound of their own.

Live at Donington 1990 is a live album by English hard rock band Whitesnake. It was recorded at Castle Donington on 18 August 1990 during the Monsters of Rock festival, which the band headlined.
A remastered 17 track collection of the band’s entire performance, digitally. All of the songs from the performance have been remastered. This new digital collection includes a mix of hits and deep tracks, including “Is This Love” from Whitesnake’s multi-platinum self-titled album and the #1 smash “Here I Go Again.” There are also four instrumental tracks that feature virtuosic guitar solos including, “Adagio for Strato,” “Flying Dutchman Boogie,” “For The Love Of God,” “The Audience Is Listening” and an explosive drum solo from the extraordinary Tommy Aldridge.

While compilations can fall short in any number of ways, Whitesnake's Gold assemblage is exactly what was needed in putting together the very best tracks from a band that never really could go the distance on its albums.

Deep Purple De Britse band Deep Purple ziet het levenslicht in de nadagen van de psychedelische pop. De groep wordt in 1967 opgericht en bereikt in de jaren zeventig de inmiddels legendarische line up bestaande uit Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan en Jon Lord. De formatie laat de psychedelische invloeden snel achter zich en zet in op een sound die dan ongehoord hard is. Daarmee legt Deep Purple de blauwdruk voor veel latere hard rock- en metal-bands. Gedurende de decennia verandert de groepssamenstelling veelvuldig, maar blijft de band wel bestaan. In 2021 is Deep Purple toe aan het 22ste studioalbum dat de titel Turning to Crime meekrijgt.

Great compilation for those who appreciate the different faces of rock music, from the gentler, the more pop through the independent to the hardcore, hard rock. 80 songs recorded on the four CDs.
