Night Skinny, Tony Boy, Geolier, Shiva

Bennett, whose recorded legacy has been gathered in a 76-disc boxed set titled The Compete Collection, has been doing that for over 60 years: saving our souls with the greatest songs ever written. The Complete box is an absolute necessity, first because it contains several previously unreleased albums, like On the Glory Road and From This Moment On, a live concert taped in Las Vegas that collectors have been salivating over since 1964.

Celebrating 10 years since they first recorded together, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga return for another collaboration featuring the best of the Cole Porter Songbook. This album captures the creative and personal relationship of these two world-famous artists. Tony, who turns 95 on August 3, has spent over 7 decades dedicated to performing the Great American Songbook. Both artists are accompanied by the Brian Newman Quintet with arrangements by Marion Evans & Jorge Callandrelli.

Oldie Night Series is a great one to have in a collection, full of great artists and great songs. I would recommend this CDs to others. If you enjoyed the 60"s-80"s music, you will surely like this CDs!

Spencer Perskin returned to Austin Texas after playing in San Francisco and formed Shiva's Headband in 1967 soon gaining a strong following thanks to support slots alongside names like Spirit, Steppenwolf, Steve Miller and Canned Heat. Only 1,000 copies of "Coming To A Head", the band's second album, were originally released and are impossible to find. Their fluid and delicate psychedelic sound with the ever present violin and vocal parts in perfect harmony makes it the band's best work. Reissued with the original Armadillo sleeve, printed for the first time ever in colour and now includes the live bonus track "Mr. Noname."

When the definitive swamp rocker Tony Joe White signed with Warner Bros. in 1971, it sure seemed like a good idea – while White seemed like an anomaly at Nashville's Monument Records, WB was a label with a reputation for nurturing creative mavericks with a taste for stylistic crossbreeding, and with his soulful, organic fusion of rock, blues, and country sounds, White was as individual as they came in the late '60s and early '70s.

Tony is a British singer who, for a long time, struggled to make a significant impact in his own country. He was far more popular in mainland Europe, especially Spain, where he eventually set up home. As far as his UK chart history goes, he began in 1971 with Las Vegas, which just missed the top twenty. He then made number two with I did what I did for Maria. However, his third hit of 1971, Is this the way to Amarillo (a song written by Neil Sedaka), only just made the UK top twenty although it was number one in several European countries. Some people have joked that Brits bought the record when they visited Spain rather than buying it at home, but Tony's subsequent career suggests this is not so. In any event, Tony never actually got to Amarillo back then. After those three hits, Tony had two minor UK hits in the seventies - Avenues and alleyways (originally from the TV series The protectors, the song was also used in a movie, Love honor and obey) in 1973 and Drive safely darling in 1976.

A true icon of swamp rock, Tony Joe White parlayed his songwriting talent and idiosyncratic vocals into a modestly successful country and rock career in Europe as well as America. 3CD set remastered major label overview of his career. 54 original tracks incl. Polk Salad Annie, Rainy Night In Georgia, etc.

One of the greatest of all Chicago bluesmen, vocalist, guitarist and harp player Bill Boy Arnold made his recording debut in 1952 and played harmonica on Bo Diddley's massive 1955 hit, "I'm A Man." A prolific songwriter, Arnold's songs have been covered by many artists including the influential English blues rock group, The Yardbirds. Arnold's career has spanned well over 50 years and he still continues to write and record new material. Presented here is Arnold's classic 1979 release, "Checkin' It Out," featuring nearly all original compositions, except for a pair of Little Walter tunes. The band is Billy Boy Arnold (vocals, harmonica); Tony S. McPhee (guitar); Wilbur Campbell (drums); Alan Fish (bass).
