Joe Tex - Hold What You've Got (1965) & The New Boss (1965) [2001, Remastered Reissue] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Feb. 25, 2023

This "two-fer" reissue pairs up two of Joe Tex's classic Atlantic Records albums on one CD, "Hold What You've Got" and "The New Boss". Stylistically, both albums were just a bit off the beaten path from the bulk of Tex's mid-1960's work; his sense of humor (always bubbling beneath the surface) came into the forefront on "Hold What You've Got", while "The New Boss" focused new emphasis on Tex's obvious fondness for country music. The CD helps to play up the C&W leanings of "The New Boss" with four additional bonus tracks in a decidedly twangy mode, including fine versions of "Make The World Go Away" and "Just Out Of Reach". The remastering is clear and bright, making the most of Buddy Killen's fine production, and while these two albums each have a decidedly different mood, they compliment each other well, and this is a fine presentation of material from Tex's first era of hits; well worth a spin.

Joe Tex (born Joseph Arrington, Jr. in Rogers, Texas) was one of Southern Soul’s most uncompromising performers blending gospel, country and rhythm & blues into his repertoire. After winning several revues at the famed Apollo Theatre Tex signed to King Records, in 1955 and recorded a succession of singles for the label from ballads to rockers. A session at Muscle Shoals in 1964, with the singer now signed to the Dial label, produced Tex’s first R&B #1 with the straight ahead R&B ballad ‘Hold What You’ve Got.’ Over the next 10 years Tex racked up numerous R&B and Pop hits including arguably his most well-known song ‘Skinny Legs And All’ in 1967 (R&B #2) and ‘I Gotcha,’ his fourth R&B #1 in 1972.

Joe Tex - The Complete Dial Recordings, Vol. 3: Live And Lively (1967) & Soul Country (1968) [2002, Reissue] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Oct. 5, 2019

This two-fer combines two Joe Tex albums from 1968, Live and Lively and Soul Country, onto one CD with the addition of three bonus tracks from 1967-1968 singles. Neither album is excellent, but each contains some excellent material, as well as some good-to-mediocre stuff. Live and Lively is the better of the pair, although its execution is a little misbegotten, jumbling studio tracks with, well, studio tracks, except ones that have some canned applause and crowd noise dubbed onto them.

VA - Joe Gibbs Presents Dancehall Stylee (Classic Dancehall Sounds 1979-1981) (2023) Music

Posted by delpotro at Jan. 25, 2024

As the 70s drew to a close, the roots and dub sounds that had dominated the Jamaican music scene for much of the decade gave way to dancehall, a style that continued to find favour with reggae fans until the onset of the digital revolution of the mid-1980s. Aimed squarely at satisfying the demands of live audiences, songwriters largely abandoned the conscious lyrics that had typified the music of the preceding years, focusing instead on subjects which with their Jamaican audiences could readily identify.

Joe Ely - Satisfied At Last (2011) Music

Posted by Designol at March 14, 2024

When you have spent more than 40 years writing and recording songs that underscore a sense of turbulence, where violent winds, thunderstorms and tornadoes figure rominently and beckoning, distant horizons are ever present, it takes courage to name an album, Satisfied At Last. Known for a life full of wanderlust and constant motion, getting lost and rediscovering himself on the world's lonesome highways and dusty back roads, Ely's latest release from his independent record label, Rack'Em Records, suggests that he is seeing things in a new lightbut one listen to the album that embodies his genre busting unique mix of traditional Tex-Mex rhythms, outlaw country, Texas blues and good old-fashioned American rock and roll, people will see that he isnt about to slow down any time soon.

The five original volumes of “The Ace (MS) Story” were part of the backbone of our catalogue during our early days. They disappeared for a long while after our licensing agreement with Johnny Vincent expired, but we were delighted to restore three of the original five to catalogue in 2010 and 2011. Judging by their sales figures, we were not the only ones to be delighted.
