Gary Glitter

Gary Clark Jr. is a rocking soul man for a new generation. The 27-year-old singer-guitarist shows his deep appreciation for classic hip-hop by fusing it with contemporary soul and rock. Clark has been compared to countless legends including Jimi Hendrix. The virtuosity Clark displays is profound and puts many modern rock shredders to shame. This collection which features twelve Clark originals also includes a blistering cover of Little Johnny Taylor’s “Third Stone From The Sun/If You Love Me Like You Say” and two bonus tracks. Blak and Blu has already received praise from publications including the Washington Post, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and the Boston Globe.

Also included are the studio albums Dance, I Assassin and Warriors.

Take a moment to tune in to the tasteful playing of guitarist Amanda Monaco on her new effort “Glitter.” Employing a wide palette of styles and sounds, this gifted instrumentalist makes a bold and entertaining artistic statement with her stunning musicianship and her collection of original compositions. Amanda shines brightly as the bandleader and surrounds herself with some of the heaviest cats on the scene, including organist Gary Versace, drummer Matt Wilson, and baritone saxophone sensation Lauren Sevian. While the session is definitely straight ahead and features some hard swinging highlights, at other moments “Glitter” is also elegantly lyrical and brilliantly evocative of a more modern jazz sensibility.

This is a pretty cool compilation of instrumentals from the '70s. 12 of the 18 songs here were Top Ten hits, with the rest being minor hits. The title says "rock" instrumentals, but only a few of the songs are actually rock. There is more funk and disco than rock here. One of the odder trends of the '70s was dance/pop versions of classical instrumetals, and this CD has three examples of that.

A compilation CD part of their Have A Nice Day series, but this honoring a specific day, that of Christmas. All of the songs are holiday oddities from the 1970's by the likes of Glen Campbell, Donny & Marie, Gary Glitter, Martin Mull, Melanie, The Osmonds, Cheech & Chong and many more.

Amazon review by David Dalrymple
Is this the best glam rock compilation out there? Yes. Is this the best glam rock album compilation there could ever be? Not quite. This album does a great job of showcasing the biggest hits from the biggest UK glam rock bands of the early 1970s, such as Slade, Sweet, Mud, Mott the Hoople and Roxy Music. What are especially welcome are one-hit wonders such as Geordie and Cozy Powell. However, there are a couple tracks that don't fit in, ("Radar Love" and the Faces' "Stay With Me", in particular) and a few bands are not represented at all. (such as Barry Blue and the Rubettes) The two biggest sins of omission, however, are with Gary Glitter and T.Rex. All of the T.Rex tracks on this album are from "Tanx". Their only US hit, "Get it On (Bang a Gong)", is absent. And since his conviction on child porn charges coincided with its release, Gary Glitter is not on this album at all! Just his former bandmates, the Glitter Band.
