- Description: Desert rock hero holds steady Hopkins is a heroic figure though I'm sure he wouldn't think so. He's appeared on countless records, he's an integral part of the Tucson desert rock scene, he keeps going, stays true, and stays relevant. That's heroic. This is the Luminarios fourteenth , little has changed but little needs to; Crazy Horse are still role models. Think of Howe Gelb, Rich hasn't strayed too far from the original template (a fried and frazzled version of the Paisley Underground); his songs visit familiar tropes but I wouldn't want to call them repetitive. Hopkins' heuristics are finely honed, he knows what makes songs work, knows his craft, the counter vocal melody on 'See How they Run' injects enough to know that there is a real craftsman at work. On 'Strutter' he sounds like Craig Finn's curmudgeonly uncle (he was making songs like this before the Hold Steady could hold instruments). If you want to know what Giant Sand recording with Los Lobos would sound like then 'Alycia Perez' is your poison. Where bands have made a name for themselves, Hopkins has already carved his name, 'Friend of the Shooter' is a noir Southern Rock Opera (take that Truckers) it unfurls menacingly like a rattlesnake in the morning sun, electric guitars flick out as he weaves a tale of a life gone bad. The instrumentals show another side; 'Sweet Dreams Lisa' is a contemplative plangent beauty, whereas 'Good Morning' with tambourine is a desert soundtrack with wind in the arroyo's and the call of the coyote and the blooming of desert plants in the riparian soil. Then there's the psychedelic power pop of 'Dark Side of the Spoon' that pulls up memories of everyone from the Rain Parade to Green Pyjamas. Hopkins was a Peace Corps volunteer in the early 1980's and there's an additional bonus CD of the music and people who inspired him. It captures the simple pleasures of playing music with

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Off the Wall is the fifth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 10, 1979, following Jackson's critically well-received film performance in The Wiz. While working on that project, Jackson and Quincy Jones had become friends, and Jones agreed to work with Jackson on his next studio album. Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3. Workin' Day and Night 4. Get on the Floor 1. Off the Wall 2. Girlfriend 3. She's Out of My Life 4. I Can't Help It 5. It's the Falling in Love 6. Burn This Disco Out
Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Thriller is the sixth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace. The album is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100. Bad peaked at #1 in thirteen countries and charted within the Top Twenty in other territories. Album Tracks 1. Bad 2. The Way You Make Me Feel 3. Speed Demon 4. Liberian Girl 5. Just Good Friends 1. Another Part of Me 2. Man in the Mirror 3. I Just Can't Stop Loving You - Michael Jackson Feat. Siedah Garrett 4. Dirty Diana 5. Smooth Criminal
