Big Brother Titans

Tenor saxophonist Big Jay McNeely swings and honks his way through 12 classic Federal sides from 1952-1954. Joined by brother Robert on baritone, McNeely and his combo work a well-worn jump blues groove on gospel-imbued scorchers like "Hot Cinders" and "The Goof." Equally adept at torrid and moderate tempos, McNeely also shows off his Illinois Jacquet-inspired chops with a dizzying array of bleats, screeches, and guttural smears, even throwing in some svelte lines when appropriate……

Wasting no time in the wake of the Gallagher brothers sudden 2009 implosion, Sony released the deluxe Time Flies 1994-2009 retrospective in the summer of 2010, just in time for the 15th anniversary of (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? The driving idea behind Time Flies is to collect all 27 of Oasis’ British A-sides, a simple idea that would seem to fit one of the great singles band, but sticking to the singles winds up leaving many great songs behind, including their manifesto “Rock & Roll Star,” “Champagne Supernova,” the lovely “Talk Tonight,” and Noel and Liam’s duet “Acquiesce,” among many tremendous B-sides…

Nun aber erscheint Dieter feat. Bohlen – Das Mega Album zur Tour. In diesem Album geht es allein um den Pop-Titan, der gerade in seinem Studio die letzten Songs zur Tour komplett neu produziert und eingesungen hat. Alle seine großen Hits - vom Pop-Titan selbst gesungen. Hits wie »You're My Heart, You're My Soul« gibt es hier in einer einzigartigen Klassik-Version mit großem Orchester. Als erste Single zum Album erscheint »Brother Louie« mit passendem Video. Außerdem haben sich die angesagten Jungs von Stereoact diesen Titel als Remix-Version neu vorgenommen. Weitere Highlights wie »Midnight Lady« oder »Now Or Never« beinhaltet dieses Mega-Album. Natürlich darf der große Erfolg zu »Cherry Lady« von Capital Bra nicht fehlen - Dieter singt auf den Beat der CB-Version. Ein rundum gelungenes Album des Pop-Titans mit 12 starken Versionen seiner Nr. 1 Hits.

A six-disc archival set, Ventura chronicles summer concerts Phish gave at the Ventura County Fairgrounds in the back half of the '90s, by which time their status as the titans of jam was well-established. The first show here is from July of 1997, the second performed a year later, which means both arrived during the two-year gap separating 1996's Billy Breathes and 1998's The Story of the Ghost – two years where the band's popularity was on the rise and it certainly seemed like a crossover was perhaps within their sites.
