About This Item

With Etta James, Bear Family Records® finally dedicates itself to the most rocking recordings of one of the most important and successful Afro-American singers of her time! She was equally at home in R&B, jump, doo-wop, hard blues, languorous ballads and hot soul. Bill Dahl has written the detailed and exciting liner notes. The extensive booklet contains many photos and illustrations, and we used the best sources for the mastering. - Feisty from day one, Etta James amassed an incredible musical legacy by refusing to limit her vocal exploits to one genre. Jumping R&B, doo-woppish ballads, tough blues, smoldering torch ballads, sizzling soul - Miss Peaches did it all during her primordial days in the studio. 'Etta James Rocks' takes an in-depth gander at James' early years of rocking and rolling with 29 well-selected tracks from the Modern/Kent and Chess/Argo archives. Naturally, her 1955 debut R&B chart-topper The Wallflower - a sassy response to The Midnighters' Work With Me Annie - is here, along with the encore Hey! Henry, her second Modern hit Good Rockin' Daddy, and the New Orleans-cut scorcher Tough Lover, complete with a two-chorus Lee Allen sax solo (her Crescent City remake of The Wallflower is also aboard, retitled Dance With Me Henry). When Etta shifted her recording home from Los Angeles to Chicago-based Chess at the dawn of the '60s, she engaged in more rocking alongside her smoldering balladry, often with a soul-steeped edge Seven Day Fool, the charming girl group-oriented Pushover, and Next Door To The Blues are splendid examples. Her snarling violin-enriched reprise of Willie Dixon's I Just Want To Make Love To You reset the song's parameters (ditto her duet rendition of Spoonful with her beau of the moment, Moonglows founder Harvey Fuqua). Add two selections from her seminal album 'Etta James Rocks The House,' done in late '63 at Nashville's New Era C

    Deftones - Around the Fur   - VINYL LP
    4.6(12)

    Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX

    4.8(73)

    Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is the fifth studio album by David Bowie, which is loosely based on a story of a fictional rock star named Ziggy Stardust.

The album, and the character of Ziggy Stardust, was known for it's glam rock influences and themes of sexual exploration and social commentary.
