Customer Reviews:

Love this band........2006-05-05

I caught this band in Lexington Kentucky. I enjoyed the show and they gave me this CD in exchange for a round of drinks. The CD never left my player for three weeks. It sticks in your head. If you like the CD, make sure you catch them live at some point. They have a great light show and live sound.

Simple Sick Device - Uncrowned Serious Rock.......2005-07-16

Impressive mix of past, present and future Rock. All songs take you back to the 80's Heavy Metal, but with a different flavor!!! a few seconds later you realize you are listening to a different stuff (better) than any other ever before. I would call this improved rock.

This is a must have CD!!!!

great music, singer lacking.......2005-03-21

From the opening riff of this disk I started to get very excited, this guitar player is something special. The songs are well writen and powerful. It reminded me of dream theater in a couple of spots. The only thing that holds this back from becoming a true classic is the singer. To be fair, he fits some of the songs and even sounds strong on "Chosen Ones". But, there are several spots where he straines to hit notes he is not capable of, sounds out of tune in other places, and ends one song sounding like a tone deaf first day loser on american idol. You will know which one I am refering to when you here it. All of this is relevant because I just heard that this Guitar player, Magnus Karlsson, is teaming up with Tony Harnell in the new band Starbreaker! Due out March 21st. With this guy's chops and Tonys pipes LOOK OUT! Since tastes in singers vary, this disk is a must buy for power metal fans, the music is that good.

Melodic Metal At its best.......2004-03-30

I am very seldom moved to write a review of anything, mostly because I buy far too much music to have enough time to do so (I'm too busy listening to it), but for this album, I simply must tell the world what they are missing.
I have not heard anything by 'Last Tribe' before so this is my first experience with this band. I think they are from sweden (like so many great rock/metal acts nowadays). The vocals are sung in English. The musicianship of all the band members is absolutely first rate. The production of the album is just about perfect. The singer is right for the band, and has a pleasing voice. Absolutely no complaints here.
The guitarist ranks a special mention. Take John Petrucci (from Dream Theater) and inject an extra boost of melodic creativity, and that just about sums up Magnus Karlsson (well for me anyway). All his work on this album is sublime, spine tingling, and memorable, but never too intense or over the top. Sure, he can play fast, and some of the bubbly low to high runs he performs are just awesome. He uses the right effects for the song too, never overdone though. I think I heard a slight Steve Vai sound on one track, but even within one song, he mixes it up a bit. He also plays all keyboards on the album but they are not dominant and rather serve to enrich the overall sound of the songs, except perhaps in song intros/outros or the instrumental interludes, where they sometimes can be heard more clearly.
The drummer is Jaime Salazar, who has previously played with 'The Flower Kings', another great swedish band (perhaps the greatest prog rock (not metal) act in the world in the last decade - just my opinion, we all have our favourites), so you know with that heritage this guy can really play, and he does.

There is not a single weak song on the entire album. All have catchy hooks that stick in your mind almost immediately. The choruses are amazing. They have some of the most beautiful vocal melodies and harmonies I have heard in a long while. The arrangements are great too. There are interesting instrumental sections in just about each song, keeping you interested the whole time. I simply cannot stop playing this CD.

If you value great craftmanship and talent, and like the more melodic side of Dream Theater, or bands like Vanden Plas (eg Beyond Daylight album), or even the heavier side of Journey (eg Frontiers album), then you may like this album by 'Last Tribe'.
Don't just take my word for it, go to melodicrock dot com and see their review of this album.

Track listing is:
(1) Healer
(2) The Chosen One
(3) Sacrifice
(4) The uncrowned
(5) Otherworld
(6) April Sky
(7) Sound Of Rain

Most songs are 5 or 6 minutes long, giving you plenty of time to soak up the sheer brilliance of each and every one.

My favourites are Healer, The Chosen One, Sacrifice, and Sound Of Rain.

We Are Back!!!.......2003-12-14

Last Tribe returned with 11 blistering melodic metal tunes. The Uncrowned takes the listener to the next level of Melodic Metal.. These means business this time and I hope fans around the world would pick this one up and blast it in their stereo.... This is a superb album!!! What more can I say.... I love it since the day it was released and I am still blasting it away proudly.... Last Tribe is here to stay for a long time... Get ready for the ultimate Melodic Metal coming your way.....LAST TRIBE rule!!!

Not a Comprehensive Collection .......2007-01-04

Born in 1896, Ida Prather was 10 years younger than Gertrude "Ma" Rainey when, following a brief retirement after marrying Adler Cox, she started recording in Chicago for the Paramount label in 1923 (about 6 months prior to Rainey), where she would continue recording until 1929.

THE UNCROWNED QUEEN OF THE BLUES consists of 20 songs, all recorded from June 1923 to August 1924; tracks are in chronological order. Disc is packaged in a standard black jewel case; total running time: 60:30. Booklet includes a short essay by Lars Edegran, track information (dates, personnel; but no songwriter credits), and an analysis of select lyrics. Sound quality is poor (muffled and tinny) because Paramount produced inferior-sounding records due to the use of poor materials; listening to the CD is like listening to an old record. There is an abundance of scratchy feedback.

This is mostly lite, Jazzy urban Blues, not the country gut-bucket juke joint blues of Ma Rainey or the gospel-influenced urban Blues of Bessie Smith. Ida's vocals lack any wail, moan, or growl of the afore mentioned singers; it is higher and more nasal, especially in the first few tracks.

Ida is accompanied on many of the songs by Paramount Chicago house band Lovie Austin and her Blues Serenaders. Ms. Austin was a piano player who performed a vaudeville act with her husband and also served as musical director for the Monogram Theater.

For the most part, the recordings of Ida Cox are out of print. The 2 disc set "Essential Ida Cox", one of the few Ida Cox compilations available, recently disappeared from various retailer sites. While this music is not in high demand, it is a shame that it is so unavailable.
