Woodstock: Three Days of Peace & Music(more) »rank: 10192by: Various Artists
: :This four-disc album--like the famed August 1969 rock festival it chronicles--is something of a sprawling, disorderly, engaging mess. Issued as a box set 25 years after the counterculture tribal gathering, it amasses the original three-record Woodstock set from 1970, its two-LP 1971 sequel, Woodstock II, and a generous store of previously unreleased tracks from Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, the Band, Jimi Hendrix, and others. There's plenty of chaff to go with the wheat (one is tempted to conclude John ('Far out!') Sabastian's blissed-out rant hasn't aged well, but it's just as likely most of the crowd at Yasgur's Farm would have gagged ... |

Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen(more) »rank: 41223by: Various Artists
: :If ever an artist deserved the tribute-album treatment, it's Leonard Cohen, an intermittently fascinating songwriter but perhaps the worst singer to ever release more than one major-label album. Cohen has never written a song which couldn't be improved by someone else singing it, and it's no coincidence that he's been the subject of three tribute albums. The latest is Tower of Song, which turns Cohen's work over to such middle-brow pop stars as Don Henley, Billy Joel, and Suzanne Vega. The results from this new project are mixed. Melodramatic, angst-ridden vocals by Tori Amos ('Famous Blue Raincoat') and Peter Gabriel ('Suzanne') emphasize Cohen's ... |

Rhythm Country and Blues(more) »rank: 9788by: Various Artists
: :Where so many duet projects seem like shotgun marriages, this one sounds like a labor of love, celebrating Southern music as a common denominator that transcends racial and categorical divides. Among the highlights, the pairing of Lyle Lovett and Al Green finds revelation within the funky groove of 'Funny How Time Slips Away,' while the album-closing 'Patches'--with George Jones playing father to B.B. King's son--achieves a spine-tingling majesty. Though Natalie Cole and Reba McEntire misconnect on 'Since I Fell for You,' Sam Moore (of Sam & Dave) and the late Conway Twitty are at their soulful best on 'Rainy Night in Georgia.' --Don ... |
