Artist:
ACKLES, DAVID
Title:
Subway to the Country
Label:
COLLECTOR'S CHOICE MUSIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
CCM 313
"For his 1969 sophomore effort, Ackles and producer Russ Miller ditched the rock band, brought in top session musicians and classically trained arranger Fred Myrow (a sometime collaborator with Jim Morrison), and made a record closer to Brecht and Weill than the Beatles. The sweep of Ackles' lyrics is truly cinematic on such songs as 'Main Line Saloon','That's No Reason to Cry', 'Candy Man', 'Our on the Road', 'Cabin on the Mountain', 'Woman River'; 'Inmates of the Constitution', and 'Subway to the Country'. Ambitious and successful."
Artist:
TIN HUEY
Title:
Contents Dislodged During Shipping
Label:
COLLECTOR'S CHOICE MUSIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
CCM 342
"What is it about northeastern Ohio? Some of the most challenging and adventurous bands of the American underground -- Devo, Pere Ubu, the Electric Eels -- have hailed from there, and this band, Tin Huey, stands tall on that list. Led by horn player Ralph Carney, keyboardist Harvey Gold and Waitress-to-be Chris Butler, Tin Huey put post-punk, free jazz, art rock and even blues into a Dadaist vaudeville stage show that somehow got them signed to Warner Bros. in the late '70s. The marriage was doomed from the start, but this album was its wonderfully weird offspring, here reissued for the first time on CD with new notes containing extensive quotes from the band members."
Artist:
ROSE GARDEN, THE
Title:
The Rose Garden
Label:
COLLECTOR'S CHOICE MUSIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
CCM 359
"Most folks remember this band solely for the song 'Next Plane to London' that leads off this album, but for fans of California folk-rock, this record has some real gems, not the least of which are the two Gene Clark songs, 'Till Today' and 'Long Time', that Clark wrote for them and were never recorded by anybody else. Then there's the three tunes contributed by Pat Vegas, co-founder of Redbone, and another song co-written by legendary producer Bob Johnston (Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel); these guys were very definitely in the mix of that oh-so-heady late '60s SoCal folk-rock scene (they were even managed by Buffalo Springfield's management team)."
Artist:
DENNY, MARTIN
Title:
Baked Alaska - The Cool Sounds of Martin Denny
Label:
COLLECTOR'S CHOICE MUSIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
CCM 393
"Artists send us recordings all the time for reissue on our label, but most of the time either the artist or the album is too obscure even for us. But when a CD from Martin Denny, the exotica king himself, made its way to our office, we sat up and took notice. And then we fell in love -- for this recording, made of a September, 1964 concert given at the Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska (hence the
Baked Alaska
title), represents Martin's only live recording and an utterly charming one at that. Jazzy, exotic (how did they pull off those bird calls live, anyway?) and imbued with a very warm Hawaiian vibe in the oldest of places, this is not just a piece of history but a great listen as well. It's got a few rough spots as live recordings sometimes do, but even that struck us as appealing, in line with the homespun graphics and notes that Martin himself supplied. Martin's still going strong at age 92, by the way...here's a priceless glimpse of the man performing with his band in his prime."
Artist:
VERLAINE, TOM
Title:
Flash Light
Label:
COLLECTOR'S CHOICE MUSIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
CCM 394
"This record, Tom's only one for the IRS label, broke a three-year silence with its release in 1987, and it's a varied, poetic outing, ranging from rockers to the slow, epic numbers where Verlaine's lyrical guitar work really shines. We've included lyrics."
