Rewired is a fine record, a mix of pop/rock synth-orchestrated balladry that favorably recalls both the mid-'70s work of Genesis and the more pop-focused work of Phil Collins - Paul Carrack's singing is excellent, and Mike Rutherford and Robbie McIntosh's playing (and Rutherford's programming) are seamless and always interesting; only when Rupert Cobb takes over the programming, on "Perfect Child," does the music veer a little too far out of rock and into the pop category, but the interlude is forgivable and the song is pretty enough to carry off the switch in mood.

The Broken Cloud is a true psychedelic experience.
This progressive-rock epic takes cues from bands such as Yes, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd. It grips you with music from both near and far, old and new, and from somewhere all-together different. From it's opening brigade of guitars, Hammond organ, and choral vocals, to its strange-even terrifying-marriages of Psychedelic Rock, Dark Ambience, Electronic Dance Music, Bluegrass, and Robert Johnson-esq Blues… You'll never be sure what's coming next! …and when the end is finally at hand you'll be lifted up into a thematic emotional high that you won't soon forget…
This release from 2000 is the first and only release from three sons of Arthur"Big Boy" Crudup. It is rare look at a family that knows and lived the blues.

That July day at Sun Studio when Elvis kicked in with "That's Alright Mama" some say rock and roll was born.This recording is a not to be repeated event. Since it was released both James Crudup and his brother Jonas Crudup passed away, also piano man Dumpy Rice aka Dinzel Cofy left us.Produced by bass man Tim Drummond it features guitar great Lonnie Mack, The Memphis Horns from Stax and many other great recordings and includes Greg"Fingers" Taylor & Michael Utley from Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band.

For the first 17 years of their history, the only official live Doors album was Absolutely Live, which had its virtues – especially as it captured elements of their harder, more ambitious repertoire – but also left more casual fans rather cold, owing to the absence of any of their biggest hits…
The band is billed here as "the Lovin' Spoonful Featuring Joe Butler." Just when everybody had written them off after Sebastian's departure, this flawed gem came out of left field. Butler's smooth voice had graced a few tracks on all of the past LPs, in addition to having a few of his own tunes included. He comes into his own here, but unfortunately, his three originals are the weakest songs on the LP, especially the ultra-hip sound collage "War Games." However, the great pop team of Bonner and Gordon came up with three strong tunes, including the hit "Me About You" (previously done by The Turtles) and the fine "(Till I) Run with You" (the title of the LP as written on the label), with John Stewart supplying the best track, the gorgeous "Never Going Back."
