Rays - Bob's Crew: The Complete Recordings 1955-1962 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Easy listening
- Description: Fronted by the distinctive voice of Hal Miller, New York quartet the Rays scored one of the most memorable double sided hits of the classic Rock 'n' Roll era in 1957 with the original versions of 'Silhouettes' and 'Daddy Cool', two Hall Of Fame classics that have endured for almost 70 years, and that will live on in Doo-Wop history forever. As the title of this CD containing 30 examples of their craft (almost everything they ever recorded) implies, they were indeed 'Bob's Crew'- the 'Bob in question being songwriter-producer Bob Crewe who, with his own writer-producer partner Frank Slay Jr. , discovered the group in 1955 and worked with Hal Miller and an ever-changing line up of Rays through to the mid-60s. The Double Dynamite of 'Silhouettes' and 'Daddy Cool' may have provided the Rays with their career hit, but it was not their only hit and several more of the fine tracks collected here also breached the lower reaches of the US Hot 100. From the Rays, Slay moved on to work extensively with Freddy Cannon while Crewe steered the Four Seasons (who appear on two tracks here as incognito Rays!) to global superstardom in the 60s. These, though, are the recordings that shaped their future success as 'backroom boys'. Here are 30 great slices of Big Apple Doo-Wop and early soul that mostly should have fared better than they did back in the day, and that now show the Rays to be an important bridge between the black American music of the 1950s and the 1960s, collected by Jasmine for the first time on a UK CD. Album Tracks 1. Tippety Top 2. Moo-Goo-Gai-Pan 3. Second Fiddle 4. How Long Must I Wait for You? 5. My Steady Girl 6. (Candy Bar) Can't Nobody Love You Like I Do 7. Charm Bracelet 8. Doo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo 9. Silhouettes 10. Daddy Cool 11. Rendezvous 12. Triangle 13. Rags to Riches 14. The Man Above 15. Elevator Operator 16. Souvenirs of Sum

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
