Blues for the Red Sun is the finest album by short-lived rock gods Kyuss. With guitars tuned way down and amps turned way up, Kyuss's deafening assault switches from light to hammering in a blink on some tracks ("Thumb," "Thong Song"), while slowly building on others ("Freedom Run"). They achieve full rock bliss when they're relentless. By updating Black Sabbath from the perspective of psychedelic jammers out of the Arizona desert, Kyuss established the blueprint for the entire stoner rock movement with this 1992 release. Even its makers never matched it, let alone beat it. --Robert Burrow

you've been burned by my lighter.......2007-06-29

how could any album that includes an angry song about lighter burning be bad? all i have to say. PERIOD...

Rock.......2007-06-09

It's a pretty natural inclination to want to categorize and disseminate styles into little boxes. I mean, hell, would you really want to say that The Beatles and Good Charlotte are in the same category?

But let's look at the other side of that same coin--ARE The Beatles and Good Charlotte in the same category? Is the definition of 'classic rock' versus 'pop punk' really just the distinction of quality versus lame-osity, reinvention and creativity versus cashing in on spiky hair? Could it really be that the pavers of possibility in rock can really sit in the same cordoned room with the posers with paychecks?

Kyuss, believe it or not, makes me think that the possibility is just that.

Look at the other reviews and tags that question the category of this band. Grunge? Metal? Stoner rock?

Man, let's just call this rock. Heavy rock, the rock of Wine Cooler Blowout by J.J. Paradise Players' Club and Trance States in Tongues by Zen Guerrilla. Rock that may make you shake your booty some, but definitely gets you in the mood to score. Rock that lets you bob around the room , throw some hair (if you have any), or just veg out and let whatever it is that's got its claws into your brain have free reign. From driving rockers like "Green Machine" to bassy meditations like "Mondo Generation," you'll know where Queens of the Stone Age came from and why the brilliant opening of Songs for the Deaf ("You're listening to KLN. Clone Radio - We play the songs that sound more like everyone else, than anyone else.") is such stinging satire, because rock IS a category as broad as the ocean these guys made ripple with their heavy sounds, and this album is a Kyuss classic--a great spot to start, if you're only starting.

Best of the Best.......2007-01-06

Kyuss does have a greatest hits album, and it's solid, but it doesn't hold a torch to Blues for the Red Sun. Kyuss has always been pegged as a "jam band," but that doesn't really do them justice. How many riff bands invent a new genre of music?
Kyuss are the original stoners, and this album is a fan favourite for good reason. John Garcia, one of metal's most tragically unsung heroes, just wails on this record. Unlike today's whiny, sobbing emo and nu- metal- types, Jon Garcia can SING. He's got an almost definitive rock and roll voice.
Of course Josh Homme on guitar and backup vocals is a big part of why Kyuss rock- he's the Midas of heavy metal music. But this record is really propelled by Garcia on vocals. Check him out on Danko Jones's new record, Sleep Is the Enemy. The man's a genius!

Not Quite the Real Thing.......2006-09-28

Kyuss are pretty good, and this is their best album, but if you want to hear some real, punishingly heavy, unbelievably distorted acid-rock you have to hear the double guitar attack of the Gibbons brothers. And that means you have to go to Bardo Pond on this site and listen to the samples of "Tommy Gun Angel" or "Flux" on the album Lapsed. All it will take is 30 seconds of each to hear what's missing here. Even if you're bugged that I seem to be dissing your band, give the Pond a listen anyway.

The greatest hard rock/heavy metal album of all time.......2006-08-16

Why this is the greatest heavy metal or hard rock album ever released, bar none:

1. Impeccable musicianship. I defy you to name one band with a better rhythm section than Nick Oliveri and Brant Bjork.

2. Gargantuan riffs. Kyuss is twice is ambitious as Black Sabbath and just as gifted when it comes to crafting minor key hooks.

3. Incredible composition. Ominous silence, dramatic buildups, explosive thrash carnage and spaced out jam sessions are deployed with precision to evoke the emotional responses that the listener needs to feel he is completely immersed in an all consuming psychic (and psychedelic!) journey.

Furthermore, every song is informed by the previous and subsequent songs. As a result, the entire album plays as an organic whole, yet does not grow monotonous.

4. A signature sound. Tune the guitars down to C. Play them out of bass amps. Add plenty of fuzz and reverb. Its brilliant. The sound is huge. It just coarses through you like nothing else.

5. Great attitude. John Garcia's manly, laid back megalomania is just plain fun. And his coarse snarl adds a very complementary rough edge to the impeccably precise arrangements crafted by Homme, Oliveri and Bjork. Listening to Kyuss makes you feel like you're king of the world and you just don't give a...

This is the best album ever. I hope you buy it and "get it" the way I do, because it has really opened my mind to how truly inspired a rock band can be. I literally see music differently than I did before I bought this album.

Simply Greg Brown's Best.......2006-02-13

Many of us think this is Greg Brown's best album. Reasonable minds can differ, of course, but they have to get around the extraordinary imagery of the title cut, the plaintive story sketched in "Laughing River" and the deceptively simple melody line of "Spring Wind."

Yesterday I had a vision, under the tree where we first talked
Of an old couple burning their love letters
So their children won't be shocked.

Songs of love and disappointment, hope and loss, as well as the messy business of life. Never self-pitying, brutally honest, with melodies that can sear the lyrics into your mind.

I came down with a sickness; I thought you were the cure
But passion seems to promise more
Than friendship can endure.

Greg Brown doesn't have any bad albums. But some are a little better than the rest. And this is simply the cream of the crop. My very highest recommendation.

Great voice, great music,, great imagery..........2005-08-08

Ah, I love this guy! Brown's voice can go from back-of-the-bar room gravely to plaintative soprano... The music goes from folky to country to bluesy and is always great. The imagery in his songs are fantastic too -- some creepy rural themes, like the soundtrack to an Andrew Wyeth painting (ie. "Sleeper".) The song "Dream Cafe" makes me feel like I'm in an open air restaurant in Arizona... Which is odd because I've never been to Arizona... Case in point, this guy can do imagery...

greghead.......2004-07-20

This album is amazing. I was immediately taken by Sleeper, and from that point on, just wowing...!!!!

Dream Cafe.......2003-06-05

Insightful and inspirational. Quit reading this and buy it!

Greg lets his finest come to your ears...........2003-01-04

If you are familiar with Greg Brown, you probably are familiar with this release. If you don't have it, get it and treat yourself to an experience that take you on a journey of loves lost and loves to come. For those who are curious about Greg's work, this is an excellent place to start. There is not a bad cut here, and in particular, "Dream Cafe", "Spring Wind" and "Laughing River" are a trio of songs that somehow work some sort of magic into allowing me to see into life a bit deeper for a period of time. Two other releases that go along well with this are "Further In" and "The Poet Game."

As one of Nashville's undersung treasures--though his material has been recorded by Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle--David Olney merits comparison with the late Townes Van Zandt (whose insidiously insistent "Snake Song" provides a highlight here). Both combine literate precision with a bluesy undercurrent, and a tragic sense of life with a lethal sense of humor. While this may be Olney's bluesiest album to date, it's also his most playful and musically expansive, with Dixieland brass, banjo, and ukulele framing the arrangements. The tropical lilt of the deadpan "Panama City" could pass as low-rent Jimmy Buffett, while the interplanetary comedian conjured on the title cut sounds like one of Randy Newman's narrators. Other songwriting highlights find Olney singing from the perspective of a ventriloquist's dummy on "Who's the Dummy Now?" and revisiting the Bible with "See How the Mighty Have Fallen." And for those who find his voice an acquired taste, just listen to him croon on the closing "Rainbow's End." --Don McLeese

Product Description

Over an impressive professional career spanning four decades, David Olney has built a reputation not as a kind-hearted troubadour, but rather as a performing songwriter with a sharp literary mind that often cuts to the bone of the human condition. Olney's songs have been recorded by an impressive list of artists including Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Lonnie Brooks and many others, winning him a worldwide reputation as one of the best songwriters in America.

Loved the CD - One Tough Town.......2007-07-09

I am not familiar with David Olney, I just happened to hear a song on a local radio station and decided to order the CD.

He has a wide range of styles on this CD, look forward to hearing more of him in the future.

ALL THE RAGE, Nashville, TN- Wildcards- David Olney.......2007-06-14

9 p.m. Fri., June 15, The Basement, $8

What's that word for when there's only one provider of a certain product? A monopoly.

David Olney has a monopoly. He pretty much is a monopoly.

There's only one of him, and thus far nobody has been able to cop his riffs. He often writes songs through characters, with the narrative inhabiting the characters and also usually revealing something of himself. Sometimes that something is heartbreaking, sometimes funny, sometimes other stuff.

If you want something that sounds like David Olney, you've got to find David Olney. He's not hard to find, for the most part. This week he's at The Basement for a show that marks the release of his latest brilliant album, One Tough Town. That album finds him revealing a new batch of gems and also including a harrowing version of late, great old friend Townes Van Zandt's ''Snake Song.'' Van Zandt is one of the luminaries who has lavished mighty praise on Olney. Emmylou Harris has too, and so has Steve Earle, and so has anybody worth his or her salt who has ever witnessed a David Olney show.

Tommy Womack, who has his own little monopoly going, opens for Olney. Highly recommended.

A voice for all kinds..........2007-06-14

David Olney's newest release, "One Tough Town", is a record that ranges from pure folk to a bluesy rock. It includes ukulele, Tuba, clarinet, harmonica, and tremolo guitars. above and beyond the sound is Olney's songwriting. The track that stuck in my mind, "Who's The Dummy Now?", is about a struggling ventriloquist and the dummy who is getting tired of carrying the act. This an album that is not to be missed. Not to mention that the live show is amazing if you ever get a chance to catch it.

Album Description

Following up on his debut "3 Chords And The Truth", which the Atlanta Journal-Constitution called "the best record to come out of this city since Usher's", Atlanta artist Anthony David is set to release his second record which continues his journey to recapture the sound of soul music that harkens back to the genre's banner era of the '60s and into the dawn of the '70s. Enlisting a Who's Who of Atlanta musicians (such as Tori Alamaze, Laurnea, and Keisha Jackson), this record represents the musical flavor and diversity of the south. Also includes guest appearances by India.Arie and master guitarist Earl Klugh.

Customer Reviews:

Good Old Fashion R&B.......2007-06-09

I bought this CD a month ago and have been playing it to death ever since. I absolutely love this CD. Its a shame you don't hear music like this on the radio.

The REAL.......2007-05-09

Anthony David is an amazing singer, his voice is a mixture of old school R & B, reminiscent of Marvin Gaye and the neo-soul sounds of today. He is the epitome of "SMOOTH"

The Red Clay Chronicles.......2007-04-23

I am new to this artist. Excuse me for living in an abyss! I heard him for the first time at the Urban Music Festival in Austin TX, and MAN...I was blown away, along with my cousin who came to hang out with me for the fest. He, of all of the artists, impressed me the most. So much so that I bought both of his cds, and bought both for my sister. I also have turned 6 others onto him (and counting). I LOVE THIS MAN'S SOUND AND MUSIC. He is smooth, reminiscent of the older R&B artists. The rasp in his vocals and his poetry has him on repeat in my cd changer. It's like meth to a meth-addict. Get both cds. You won't be disappointed in the slightest. Mr. David, thanks for taking me way back and keep it coming!

Love It..........2007-04-22

I love his new album! This album is different from the first, but it shows his growth as an artist. The album is well produced and the lyrics are as deep as 3 Chords. If you want same feel as the first album (meaning the guitar) you are not going to get it on this album. Anthony takes his music to a new level while still keeping to his soulful roots.

Lovin' Acey Duecey.......2007-03-28

Okay, so I bought both of Mr. David's CDs a couple of weeks ago and I haven't stopped listening to them yet. In fact, I have told other friends to check him out as well. I am a true soul music lover and he just fits exactly into the kind of sound that sings to me. Keep up the grand work, Mr. David, and I hope that your following continues to grow.

Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

I bought this CD for my boyfriend as a replacement. He had it before, but had listened to it so much that the CD had died. This CD is hard to find. I looked at all the local stores, online and on iTunes. Amazon was one of the only places to find it and had it for the best price. So, if you know a big rap fan out there, they won't be disappointed with this CD!

OFFICAL HIP-HOP REVIEWER.......2006-12-13

Welcome back all you lovely hip-hop fans out there. im here to give my review on this eazy e album but first, iv been reading through a few of the other reviews you briliant hip-hop fans have left about EAZY E (R.I.P) and one stood out to me more then the others. it was "FRANCISCO V CASTILLO DMC" who was writing about not been too pleased with some one saying "easy e" was fake and he would win a battle of the hip-hop artists over the death row records family.
i would just like to say i do agree with the fact eazy e wasn't fake but could be seen as fake in the music he makes, due to the fact be barely wrote any of his songs and was keeping a lot of the profit N.W.A made for him self, and if you guys have read my other reviews you'll know i often bring this guy "tweedy bird loc" into my review thats simply because not many have heard of this artist and he's exremly good at bringing out great albums.
tweedy says a lot in his album about how easy e sold alot of his friends out when he became wealthy (stinking dirty rich) and tweedy also goes on to say how easy doesn't come down compton anymore ( tweedy was from the same crip gang as easy) So this could be seen as easy been fake in what he's lyrics talk about. i personaly love easy e and think he did a great job of keeping his reputation after dr. dre not only "diss'd" him on his publicly successful album " THE CRONIC" but left the ruthless records family.

as for winning against death row records, well i dont know about that, they had a lot of brilliant rappers on the label at that time, but i do think easy e would of and did beat dr. dre. anyway back to the album. if your a fan of easy e and and you liked the "EAZY DUZ IT" album then i think you'll be impressed with this album of eazy e's, and like i always say the best albums are when there's "beef" ( not the stuff you cook rucky, beef is when two or more people dont like each other due to something said/done ) it's not hard to see who eazy e had "beef" with as the name of the albums "itz on DR. DRE.

if you for some wierd reason didn't like eazy e "EAZY DUZ IT" then i would try this album, it's a little diffrent from the "EAZY DUZ IT" album, he's got a diffrent style of beat, the way the lyrics are put together seems to be the same but he use's the G-FUNK beat. which is very simular to dr. dre's beat's ie: still dre, and a lot of dre's beats of "the cronic"

to sum up the album, the albums brilliant for easy listening and has plennty of funky yet dark hard core beats, it's got a lot of what i call compton style of beats. the album also has dresta featuring in a song or two whos another compton artist, fan's of eazy e will love this album and if you liked N.W.A i think you'll love the album too.
people who wheren't that keen on "EAZY DUZ IT" should try this album, the albums going pretty cheap so you wont be paying much for it and it's a classic that doesn't take any getting use to where some albums take time to grow on you, this grows on you straight away. hope you hip-hop fans stay true, your on the right line looking up eazy e, as long as you stay away from "USER, R. KELLY, FAT MAN SCOOP AND THE REST OF EM TRYING TO CHANGE THE HIP-HOP STYLE AND REPUTATION"

Awesome.......2006-10-18

A great CD by Eazy-E. This cd (sold about 1.5 to 2 million copies when it came out) did not get the near attention that Dre's Chronic (8-10 million copies) did, which had more of a commerical appeal and radio friendly songs. But this was a better diss album than Dre's. Eazy-e was not trying to be commercial, because hardly any of the songs would be radio played and very few of it would cross over to other listeners like Dre's Chronic did.
I loved both albums. Dre's Chronic was more complete, it had different themes running through and Snoop was great.

But Eazy-E had a more edge on his album and if it was a true dis war, Eazy was victorous. Smart idea to get real hardcore gangsters and future convicts like Dresta and B.G. Knocck out to share in the dissing of Dre.

Great album. I recommend to all.

Gimmie that, that .............2006-09-18

Eazy E is a great gangsta in his day. This album was made in part for his beef with dr. dre. The songs are great and pretty decent diss tracks. Gimmie that nutt is funny as hell and most would enjoy this cd.

Blues done right.......2006-06-18

Man I like blues that make your hair stand on edge and Beck is the undisputed ruler of the guitar. He blows everybody away.

This cd is extremely good for hard rock and blues fans alike it's a balls- blowing blues album. I have the original cd at a cutout price and love it. Rodgers is good too and I am sure glad he didn't invite Clapton 'cause he would have been torn to shreds by Beck. Although he should have invited Johhny Winter,Leslie West and Trower to participate. Oh well, it's good anyhow.

I would give this one a pass.......2004-09-04

My humble opinion but I can't get past the plodding drums on this disc, it is too bad because there is some great guitar work on here with Jeff Beck being the standout. Instead of swinging, the drums seem to bog it down.

Muddy Water Blues.......2004-07-27

Excellent remake of classic blues songs with the vocals provided by Paul Rodgers who has been called "the best rock and blues singer" by Rod Stewart. The guitar work is also strong with work by Slash, Steve Miller, and Jeff Beck. An alltogether great collection.

Jeff Beck and David Gilmour...'nuff said??.......2003-02-14

This 1993 tribute to Muddy Waters concocted by Paul Rodgers does more than just honor the legacy of one of our founding fathers of American music - it also manages to kick up a whole boatload of fun. Teaming up the voice of Bad Company with an impressive lineup of axe wielders sure was a good idea! This record rocks and swaggers through most of it's 65:52 running time. However, blues purists beware: This is NOT a collection of note-for-note covers of some of Muddy's greatest tunes. And therein lies the beauty. Instead of a sterile reading of old blues classics, the boys on this disk inject their own styles and personalities into each song, sometimes with stunning results. Jeff Beck takes top honors here with his three incredible cuts, bending, twisting and stretching these classics as only he can. David Gilmour takes a very close second with a searing version of the slow blues, Standing Around Crying. Here's how things measure up:

Muddy Water Blues acoustic (Buddy Guy) - Buddy Guy fans might be a bit disappointed due to Buddy's low key approach. Known for his manic and dynamic playing, this mostly acoustic tune is just lightly adorned with Guy's very bare-boned electric tone. There's no mistaking that scattered phrasing of his, but as you're waiting for things to take off, the song ends.

Louisiana Blues (Trevor Rabin) - This is full on rock with Rabin's heavily processed sound and finger taps making it quite clear that this is NOT going to be a blues album.

I Can't Be Satisfied (Brian Setzer) - Great rockabilly style intro (and outro) as only Brian can deliver. The solo is full of his trademark Gretsch bar dips and slippery single note lines. Good stuff.

Rollin' Stone (Jeff Beck) - Rodger's impassioned voice mixing with Jeff's unbelievable guitar playing is just a jaw dropping delight. It leaves you wondering "how the heck did he do that??". Because this is Jeff Beck, stupid.

Good Morning Little School Girl Part I (Jeff Beck) - After these sessions Beck remarked how much it reminded him of his Truth days with Rod Stewart. I can definitely see why Jeff wanted to do the whole album! His enthusiasm jumps from your speakers.

I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man (Steve Miller) - My apologies to Steve Miller fans out there, but this cut is rather luke warm. Jimmie Woods' harmonica seems more featured than Steve's playing.

She's Alright (Trevor Rabin) - Another rocker very much in the same vein as Rabin's last cut. Certainly energetic and enthusiastic (Is there a pedal this guy DOESN'T own??).

Standing Around Crying (David Gilmour) - Scorching slow blues by the man in Pink. A stratocaster with a nice touch of gain and some delay makes for a raw and nasty tone...at least in Gilmour's hands. Squealing bends, singing vibrato, subtle feedback....noone makes a guitar cry like David Gilmour.

The Hunter (Slash) - This is a great rocking vehicle for Slash's down-n-dirty guitar style. He and Rodgers were clearly having a blast.

She Moves Me (Gary Moore) - There isn't a Les Paul tone on earth like Gary Moore's. I swear that guitar was made just for him. This cut is just a tiny taste of what can be found on Moore's Still Got The Blues, After Hours, or the ultimate tribute album Blues For Greeny.

I'm Ready (Brian May) - A bouncy tune that features some of Brian's wall-of-guitars sound as well as Jimmie Woods' harmonica. Unfortunately just a mediocre cut.

I Just Want To Make Love To You (Jeff Beck) - Holy Bajeezus this guy has tone. This is the heaviest version of this tune I've ever heard. No other even comes close.

Born Under A Bad Sign (Neal Schon) - Another heavily processed guitar sound that fits this updated version well. Schon chops his way through the solo nicely.

Good Morning Little School Girl Part II (Richie Sambora) - He may not be Jeff Beck but he can rock. Great tone and a great energetic reading of this tune.

Muddy Water Blues electric (Neal Schon) - Basically the opening song extended with Schon soloing this time.

If you're considering this CD, it's important to understand what kind of tribute album this is. I think Paul's intent was to show Muddy's influence by featuring his music in more contemporary settings. Rockers and guitar geeks (such as myself) will love this, while blues purists will cut their own throats with the disk. This is a fun album and should be taken in that spirit.

a great collection of blues covers.......2002-11-07

When it comes to rock vocalists, there aren't many that can top Paul Rodgers. His voice is one of the most recognizable around, and despite the number of years he's been in the business, he still sounds great. Back in 1993, he released a collection of blues covers, entitled Muddy Water Blues, featuring an all-star cast of rock and blues guitarists. David Gilmour, Buddy Guy and several others all appeared on various cuts. The title track went on to earn Rodgers a Grammy nomination.

Unfortunately, the CD's original label, Victory Records, went belly-up shortly after its release and the CD was sadly out of print for years. Finally, after all these years, this stellar disc is available once again. These songs are some of the best known blues classic around. "Hoochie Coochie Man" (featuring Steve Miller), "Born Under a Bad Sign" (featuring Neal Schon), and "I Just Want to Make Love to You" (featuring Jeff Beck) are just a few of the tracks you'll find here. Whether you're a Rodgers fan, or you just like good rock and blues, this CD is a must-have addition to your collection. There's not a bad track in the bunch.

The raw intensity and category-defying daring of this posthumous release reminds us how great was the loss when Chris Whitley died in November 2005. Reiter In is about as live an album as one can record in the studio and as close as the mercurial Whitley would come to the essence of punk rock. Since his virtuosic guitar remains much on display, the results seem to find a common bond between Jimmy Page and Johnny Thunders. In fact, Whitney thunders like Led Zeppelin in a muscular rendition of Willie Dixon's "Bring It on Home," a trance-inducing cover of the Flaming Lips' "Mountain Side," and the original "I Go Evil." Other covers range from the album-opening stomp of the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" to the throb of the Passions' "I'm in Love with a German Film Star" and Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" Yet the quieter intimacy of the almost wordless "Inn" and two poems, "Cut the Cards" and the German/English "Reiter In"--both of which evoke the specter of mortality--is equally powerful and revelatory. A fitting epitaph, and a transcendent power surge. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:

A man at the height of his powers... fantastic!.......2007-05-09

Reiter In continues the big, dirty swamp 'blues and swagger' that were on the album Dislocation Blues (with Jeff Lang). The mood is dark, the voice is a haunted howl and whisper, the guitars growl and wail. Totally mesmerizing and I played it for days on end after I got it.

I bought this after listening online to some of the songs - they confirmed that this was the same sort of stuff as Dislocation Blues, which was the first I'd heard of Chris Whitley (yeah, I was late to the party - the world has certainly been robbed).

Which brings me to the previous reviewer that felt the sound recording wasn't good. I think this is a taste thing, because in my search for more Whitley I listened to some snippets of earlier recordings ('90s) and they sounded too bright and clean in vocal and guitar stylings for my tastes - a bit 'bland country' - and not like the grungy atmospheric sound I love on these two albums. Or maybe my speakers are better. But I'll seek out some more earlier Whitley.

As a side note, this review follows in a karmic way from seeing Jeff Lang do his thing live just last night - and he did make a warm tribute to Chris. Seeing Jeff live (first time) was both exhiliarating and daunting. Exhiliarating because he wields his acoustics with all the flair, aggression and artistry of Hendrix (though as a short white guy who looks like a 'bushranger', he'll never be as famous). And daunting, because I've been learning guitar for 9 months and came to the sad realisation that I will never, ever 'own' the guitar so completely as he does.

Anyway, buy this album and Dislocation Blues. Reiter Out.

one for the obsessives.......2007-01-10

This was a disappointment for me...the recording quality is poor and it was obviously released post-mortem...maybe to milk the legend?? One for the obsessives only..stick to his studio work.

Chris' raw and moving farewell.......2006-12-19

Chris Whitey's posthumous release, Reiter In, finds the criminally underrated songwriter/guitarist still challenging himself even while he was fighting to survive. Rather than go in the atmospheric direction of Soft Dangerous Shores, this is live in the studio release with a "just plug in and let it rip" feel to it. Chris was near his demise at this point and the performances here echo the wide range of emotions one goes through before their passing. The opening tracks are a furious take on the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and a joyous version of the blues classic "Bring It On Home" that features great call and response between Chris' guitar and Tim Beattie's harmonica playing. After these tracks, the album is a very moody affair as the tracks "Inn" and "Cut the Cards" are very melancholy while the closing instrumental "Come Home" and the version of the Flaming Lips' "Mountain Side" are very upbeat and give a sense of hope. The version of Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" is actually a little bit funky until Chris' passionate soloing kicks in. While all of these tracks are very good, it's Chris' original songs, all of which have a very hypnotic feel, that work best. "All Beauty Taken..." is a rollicking blues with a loose vibe while the title track is a spoken word piece told over a repetitive yet beautiful guitar line. Finally, the plodding "I Go Evil" is absolutely killer, possessing a wicked groove never heard in his previous work. All told, while this isn't one of Chris' best albums (his albums of all original material give a better description of his vast talents), Reiter In is another strong album from a true artist that played and wrote what he felt rather than give in to commercial gain.

One Last Gasp of Genius!.......2006-09-12

My oldest daughter, now 23, became mesmerized by Chris Whitley's "Living With The Law" album when she was pre-school age. "Stones Under My Bed" is still her fave.

I some ways, she has tried to live up to Chris Whitley's outlaw sensibilities. (One too many tatoos and a terrible problem with authority figures...)

We saw Chris only once at a tragically-gone-wrong club show in Chicago at the Metro right after the 2-CD retrospective disc came out.

Ticket sales were down, so the club decided to "add" a drummer and bass player of local fame to "back up" Chris.

It was a disaster.

The drummer could only play one off-beat skiddle riff and it didn't fit any of Chris's tunes. The bass player was having a bad case of stage fright.

Whitley soldiered on.... and (sadly but heroically) never dismissed his incompetent sidemen.

As usual he wailed, distorted, anguished over the failed spectacle of himself trying to redeem just a moment or two.

It was the best/worst illustration of pathos I've ever seen.

Chris has always reminded me of Miles when he was a bad junky.

Either one.

Too much suffering for too few rewards....

The CD is a must-have treasure.

Intens, hard-rocking, original........2006-08-10

Up till now my favorite Chris Whitley album was Dirt Floor. There's another favorite now; this latest album by the late great floor-stomping singer is raw and rocking with a twist. The hard drive works to perfection in combination with a souring violin. Buy this CD and if you do not own a copy of Dirt Floor buy that one two

In The Dark With Greg.......2007-01-24

Balladeer Greg Brown first came to national prominence in the mid-1980s on Garrison Keillor's A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION. The music contained on IN THE DARK WITH YOU reflects that time in Greg's life. Prudence Johnson and Dave Moore, both "PRAIRIE HOME" regulars, backed up Brown on this set.

IN THE DARK WITH YOU is a superb album. What has always set Greg Brown apart are his remarkable lyrics and melodicism. His gravelly baritone, reminiscent of an accent-free Leon Redbone, adds to the flavor. Additionally, Brown is a skilled musician with a wry sense of humor and love for life. Not exactly country, not really folk music, Greg Brown's style is unique unto himself.

Highlights here are the title track, as well as the humorous "Just A Bum," "Who Woulda Thunk It," the poignant "All The Money's Gone" and "Who Do You Think You're Fooling." The CD release includes two bonus tracks. Highest recommendation on this one.

TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 49:46

For your quiet days.......2005-06-30

Hey, we are all a little older and hopefully a little wiser. Sometimes I just want a little time to think and this CD takes me there. The combo of lyrics and voice creates a sound that is true, funny and moving. Although "Who Woulda Thunk It" is the star of the album and gets the most plays, check out the title track and "All the Money's Gone."

Brilliant Music!!!.......2005-04-28

This is absolutely one of my all time favorite albums - has been for nearly 20 years! It's as close to perfect as can be! My musical taste ranges from Deep Purple to Simon and Garfunkel, from Bach to Dylan, Charlie Parker to Andre 3000. Greg Brown is right up there with the best! His songs are fun, meaningful, playful, serious, unique, and original. I laugh and cry at the same time while listening to this album!

Thanks Greg!

Greg Brown Hits the Spot Again........2003-04-26

This piece of music is filled with wonderful melodies and words that reach right down into our souls. He seems to know what really is going on and how to put it to music. I hope you will enjoy this CD as much as I have. Who Would Have Thunk It, that he would have affected so many lifes in such a positive way.

A dark cd.......2001-06-19

This is quiet and dark cd, remindfull of Tom Waits in the 70's. Although not in par with "Dream Cafe" and "Poet Game" and his output in the 90's, Brown was already a great singer-songwriter in the 80's, as a matter of fact, he was already a master in his genre.

If you already have Poet Game and Dream Cafe, then you'll want this one too. If not start by them and then decide if you want more Greg Brown cd, I think you will.
