PROBLEM: These Are The JBs! . If you love all things James Brown, then you must buy this collection of funky hits (tinged with more than a hint of jazz) he did with his 70's band, the JBs. Believe me, you will not be able to resist the beat! The excellent horn work of Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley are worth the price of the CD alone. The majority of the cuts are R&B dancing and roller skating classics, especially, "(It's Not The Express) It's The JBs Monorail", "Gimme Some More", "Pass The Peas", "Same Beat", and "Damn Right, I'm Somebody". "Think", with vocals by Lyn Collins, is just too funky for words. Don't pass this one by

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Catch it if you can . It is not always wise to revisit old loves, because nostalgia can be treacherous. But not this time. As an adolescent in the 60s, I, like many of my peers, fell in love with Dusty Springfield. Forty years later, I listened to this collection, and I am in love with her all over again, only more so. Her voice was very special. From the country-style folk of The Springfields, through the romantic standards, to soulful R&B, she could do it all, and all exquisitely. There are nuances to her singing and a depth of emotion to her voice that I missed first time round. Listen to the unique phrasing on The Son of a Preacher Man, a song that she made her own, and the delicious seductiveness of Breakfast in Bed (which I heard for the first time on this CD) and you will see what I mean. Her life had tragedy in it. In many ways, the sixties were not as permissive as you might think and the British tabloid press were vicious when they caught the rumor that Dusty was a lesbian. This helped destroy her UK career and after that she spent most of her time in the US and the Netherlands. By nature insecure, she could not come to terms with her relative loss of celebrity and resorted to drug and alcohol abuse and even a suicide attempt. Just when she was making a comeback following her collaboration with The Pet Shop Boys and an appearance on the Jools Holland TV show (what a hero that man is; when are we going to have his show highlights on DVD?) she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which ultimately killed her. Among the divas of twentieth century British popular music, she is supreme, and was one of the very few to achieve real success in the US also. It was good to hear The Look of Love on the Catch Me If You Can soundtrack. It will help keep her voice alive for a new generation. That track is on this CD and is just one gem among many. They repay close listening.

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: sounds of the 90's without the melodies . i've got the first several pearl jam album releases through 'no code'. this band was just getting worse with every album. eventually, i caught on and stopped wasting my $. i read all the great reviews of this album and thought the first single was alright. who the @$#%@ are these dumb reviewers? are they getting paybacks? is this politics or music? live 105.3 barely played any of this album - and i should have taken a clue from that. they still know how to play, but need some new energy and ideas to make cohesive, appealing songs. also, maybe they need to be poor again to lift their spirits - obviously being filthy rich isn't helping! only put 1 song on my mp3 players...= 1 star

NEG
