B.B. King
Sep 20, 2011 by megana

"King of the Blues" B.B. King is legendary for a good reason--he's still awesome after 50+ years in the blues business. Try a "best of" CD to get a flavor for his electric guitar work, gritty voice, and passionate interpretations of traditional blues songs. Check out his 2008 Grammy-winning recording One Kind Favor for a blues roots sound; my favorite song on this album is See That My Grave is Kept Clean, especially poignant considering King just turned 86 and is still touring and performing around the world.

No Time For Dreaming by Charles Bradley and the Menahan Street Band
Aug 22, 2011 by megana

This album features soulful vocals and an r&b sound so classic you'll think you're time traveling to the 1960s. Although Charles Bradley has been singing for decades, this appears to be his first recording project and it's a fine one, with great arrangements (horns, percussion, vibraphone and more), passionate singing, and a mix of personal love ballads and social comment songs. Bradley's hard-livin' vocal style may be an acquired taste for some, but I acquired it instantly. Check Our Catalog

Afrocubism
May 2, 2011 by megana

If you liked the Buena Vista Social Club, you'll like this new CD. It's an Afro-Cuban mashup--great fun to listen to! Check Our Catalog

Phoebe Snow
Apr 26, 2011 by megana

Snow's recent death at age 60 sent me back to the songs that introduced her to the world--and to me--back in the 70s. Well worth a listen to Phoebe's unique voice singing favorites like "Poetry Man", "Shakey Ground" and "Love Makes a Woman". Check Our Catalog

Easy Wonderful by Guster
Dec 7, 2010 by admin

If you haven't discovered Guster yet, you have to listen to this album.  This pop rock quartet started at Tufts Univ. some 20 years ago and their music is still really fun to listen to. Check Our Catalog
