It's Hard is the tenth studio album by English rock band The Who. Released on 4 September 1982, it was their last album until 2006 Endless Wire, and therefore the last to feature bassist John Entwistle, who died in 2002…
"Andru Donalds" is the eponymous debut studio album AD. It was released on November 30, 1994, by Capitol Records. Donalds had a hit single in America in 1995 with "Mishale", which reached #38 on the Billboard Hot 100. Andru Donalds was born in Kingston, Jamaica. His musical style ranges from pop, enigmatic, deep, to reggae and ballads.
Sweet struggled to earn credibility as album artists and/or score hits after finally wresting themselves free of songwriting/production team Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman in the summer of 1974.
The first disk surveys film music from the thirties and forties; jazz was no longer "jungle music" (i.e., ludicrously termed as "non-white" music), but still "youth-oriented," as the liner notes assert. Off the bat, the best track is most certainly the eighth, Artie Shaw's all-too-brief Nightmare (from MGM's Dancing Co-Ed).
Everybody knows that Black Sabbath's legacy rests on their first four albums – after that, they lost their luster, or more precisely their mythic power. At their peak, which is how they are remembered, Sabbath were all about myth and power. Their very name had an ominous resonance, capturing their murky, foreboding sound perfectly…
It is not often that one is lucky enough to directly observe the creation of unique beauty, perfect craftsmanship, absolute passion and profound dedication. I recently had the wonderful opportunity to experience these with the creation of “Lexposure”, in Cologne at the end of August 2020. This took place in the legendary, state-of-the-art “Riverside Studios”, under the auspices of the producer Ralf Kemper, who actively and artistically directed the entire technical recording at the mixing desk. Thus it came about that the best technology and the best musical skills came together here at one of the most high profile studio locations in the world. With ingenious talents on all of these different levels, it was inevitable that something uniquely beautiful was created.
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.
The Richies were a German Rock band also known as "Duisburger Ramones". The press release of the record company promoted the band as the "Monty Python of punk". Like the Ramones, they have a wide range of variety in the way they approach song writing. So there's punk songs, pop songs, hardcore songs, and several cool ballads. But all of them have that big and simple guitar attack, straight ahead drumming, and technically unsophisticated but otherwise outstanding vocals that made the Ramones so great. Now you get a chance to own the band's entire collection in a terrific digital form. Everything from the complete cover-art to more than 200 minutes of great Rock & Roll Music brings you the ultimate satisfaction. Have fun!
