"Man Next Door" was memorably covered by Massive Attack on the Mezzanine LP in 1998. Brown's version is excellent with an amazing dub on the flip..

They titled "Let it Be" after deciding in the tour van that the next song played on the radio would be their album title. I think "Let It Bleed" was equal parts Stones tribute and "Mats drunken sense of humor. Would've been a great title but I think... See full review

She'll always be overshadowed by her biggest song "At Seventeen" which is a shame because this is a great record that deserves more recognition. Strictly as a point of reference I think this is as good as any of Joni Mitchell's 60s LPs with Ian... See full review

Anybody out there know how to tell these two releases apart?

I'm not sure if this has been brought up anywhere else on the web but this sounds like it was mastered at the wrong speed, most notably on Side 1. Of course Denny's voice changed and deepened over the years and the earliest songs here were probably... See full review

For years I ignored this record thinking it was another Lockjaw and Scott organistic yawner but the joke's on me - Scott plays piano on this one and plays beautifully. I admit to being biased, I love the Moodsville line and will make apologies for it... See full review

Same backing track as Marva Whitney's "Daddy Don't Know About Sugar Bear".

If you haven't heard Merrill's rendition of "Lazy Afternoon" you're missing out on one of the greatest arrangements and vocal performances of all time. No other song from the 50s sounds as fresh today. The fourth of Merrill's five classic LPs recorded... See full review

"One of them had eyes as big as jolly ranchers..."

It's hard for me to believe that after years spent chasing the world's best obscure records that i had never heard of this masterpiece until just a few days ago. This is a cross between David Axelrod's first two records, Impulse era Mingus, Italian... See full review
