Nudge It Up A Notch
»rank: 2808
0ur Review: : Steve Cropper's guitar, production and songwriting embodied the sound and the spirit of Stax and the southern soul of the `6Os. At the same time, in the Northeast, there was a band called The Rascals, whose sound was epitomized by the brilliant songs, B-3 organ and voice of Felix Cavaliere. Now these two R&B legends come together to Nudge lt Up a Notch, a tour de force of 12 smokin' original tunes, guaranteed to satisfy ...

Armchair Apocrypha
»rank: 2186
0ur Review: :Strip away the music of an Andrew Bird song, and you're left with brilliant prose ('across the great chasms and schisms and the sudden aneurysms'), vignettes about mentally fending off plane crashes, infiltrating characters like the kings of Macedonia and Lou Dobbs, and titles such as 'Yawny at the Apocalyspe.' lt's hard to believe that, really, his music reigns, but when Bird adds understated acoustic guitars, Wurlitzer and Rhodes, and his own mesmerizing pizzicato violin, his songs ...

»rank: 2687
0ur Review: essential recording:More like poems for piano than traditional, structured songs, the music of George Winston plays like a lyrical soundtrack to the natural world's rhythms, and nowhere is this more brilliantly enacted than on his third album, Winter into Spring. There are wondrous, beautiful melodies here, but what's amazing is Winston's intense inspiration that spills from his spirit and flows straight to the keys. He uses simple techniques that would hardly impress the most intellectual of ...
