"Indian Outlaw," with its controversy and its resemblance to the Raiders' "Indian Reservation," made Tim McGraw a star and earned him the nickname "Outlaw McGraw." The ballad "Don't Take the Girl" reinforced the image. Not a Moment Too Soon contained better hooks than its predecessor, but it also belabored the obvious with songs like "It Don't Get Any Countrier Than This" and "Give It to Me Strait." that said, McGraw's identity as a singer and as a bandleader was being forged bit by bit…..

Three songs – "Welcome to the Club," "Memory Lane," and "Two Steppin' Mind" – appeared on the bottom half of the Billboard singles chart, which suggested that Tim McGraw had some talent but wasn't anything special…yet. In a year that introduced Clay Walker and Doug Supernaw, hardly anybody noticed this young-hat act at the time (but they would), while his contemporaries have already become has-beens. Signed to Curb Records, McGraw, a Louisiana native, would quickly establish himself….

Royal Pop Elevation CD album by The indie rock band The Cheeks, was released in 2000 on the Wolverine Records label. Royal Pop Elevation CD contains a single disc with 14 songs.

The piano output of Tomás Marco (Madrid, 1942) occupies a significant place in his musical catalogue. The composer himself recounts that his first composition for this instrument was Fetiches, a youthful piece written in 1967/68 and premiered at the Stadelijk Museum in Amsterdam by Pedro Espinosa. Throughout the last four decades and particularly during the nineties, Marco completed a large range of piano works covering several of his creative phases. Notable among these are Sonata Atlántica (1999), a three-movement work of generous length, taking ………

Remixed and expanded (with two additional tracks recorded but chopped off the vinyl version) for its debut on CD in 1999, this is a sturdy, workmanlike Rory Gallagher release. Reverting back to a trio, Gallagher toughens up his sound and blazes through some robust blues rockers like "Last of the Independents," "Shadow Play," and "Brute Force & Ignorance" (one of his best hard rock riffs) with nervy energy…..

A Japanese import, it features nineteen early Chicago tracks from 1965-1967.

Long a fixture on the Austin, Texas music scene, W.C. Clark has been both mentor and band mate to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Marcia Ball and Lou Ann Barton. With an all-star Austin cast of Double Trouble's Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon, Sarah Brown, Derek O'Brien and Mark Kazanoff, Clark spreads his musical palette wide on this disc. Equal parts Texas blues and the kind of soul/R&B music as exemplified by O.V. Wright, Al Green and Sam Cooke, Clark's vocals here are nothing short of eloquent while his guitar stings and stabs with the best of them. W.C.'s ode to his deceased girlfriend ("Are You Here, Are You There?") is one of the numerous highlights aboard along with "Pretty Little Mama," "Changing My Life With Your Love" and the closer, "That's a Good Idea." With tight playing, great songs and solid arrangements, this is Clark's most realized album to date.

Heart of Gold is an impressive showcase for W.C. Clark's deep talents, giving him the opportunity to flaunt his chops and prove that he can play nearly anything. Clark's foundation is in greasy roadhouse Texas blues and while there's a number of wonderful cuts in that style here, he doesn't limit himself to Texas shuffles. Instead, he turns out some sweaty soul — including a seductive, passionate reading of Latimore's "Let's Straighten It Out" — and some organ-drenched Tex-Mex workouts which not only give the album diversity, they also give the album depth. And that's the reason why Heart of Gold is the definitive W.C. Clark release — it's the first (and arguably only) time he's gotten it completely right on record.

Pearls of Passion is Roxette's debut album, released on 31 October 1986. It was re-released internationally on CD on 31 October 1997 with some previously unreleased or single-only bonus tracks. The album was originally only released in Scandinavia and Canada. The album peaked at #2 on the Swedish albums chart but apart from Canada and Scandinavia it failed to get released outside Sweden. However, Roxette went onto record and release their follow-up, Look Sharp!. "Neverending Love", "Goodbye to You", "Soul Deep" and "I Call Your Name" were released as singles. "It Must Have Been Love" was later used in the movie Pretty Woman. "Soul Deep" reappeared on their album Joyride in 1991 and "So Far Away" was recorded again for Tourism in 1992.

The Orb virtually invented the electronic genre known as ambient house, resurrecting slower more soulful rhythms and providing a soundtrack for early-morning ravers once the clubs closed their doors. Now they invite you to join them to sit back, relax, and drift into 'The Dream'. It's been a busy year for The Orb, recording the album, playing Bestival, and seeing the seminal number 1 album, UFOrb getting a re-release. 'The Dream' sees Alex Paterson and Youth at their blessed, and melodious best. Their history speaks volumes, and the future is certainly bright…

Sometimes, if you're not careful, precious little gems slip by. Because this isn't any old Sonny & Brownie reprint, it's the glorious Folkways recordings!
On this 2CD set you get the full tracks of four Folkways 10" LPs plus eight bonus cuts taken from various parts of their career. Choice stuff indeed and rare too. If you were to bid for the four albums included, you'd need around £400 to win them.
CD 1 contains the 1952 album ‘Get On Board', the seven cuts from the 1956 Folkways album ‘Washboard Band-Country Dance Music' - a kind of a Almanac Singers gung-ho session supervised by the ubiquitous and as-always-over-enthusiastic Pete Seeger plus four blues from the 1940s……
