The Neville Brothers – Brother’s Keeper

Label: MFSL /Orig Label: A&M Records | Genre: Hard Rock
Size: 386MB | Mono/Stereo: 2 Channel | Audiophile

Album Notes

Why doesn’t more R&B sound like this? Although hampered by a poor mix, Brother’s Keeper is nevertheless a classic example of what makes the Neville Brothers so good — and so frustrating. Tracks like the booty-shaking funk of “Brother Jake” or the gospel-tinged “Steer Me Right” are full of soulful vocals and wonderful harmonies. Aaron Neville’s timeless voice is displayed beautifully on “Fearless,” where he is joined by Linda Ronstadt for one of the strongest tracks on the record. The Neville Brothers’ ecumenical spirituality permeates every second of Brother’s Keeper, making for a few awkward moments (like the head-scratching opener “Brother Blood,” for example), but a few moments of true sublimity (as when Art Neville spits “Pro choice-no choice/We’re sending our sons and daughters to their slaughter” on “Sons and Daughters”). The pop material on Brother’s Keeper, such as Link Wray’s “Fallin’ Rain,” works well, but other tracks, like “River of Life,” seem forced. If the Neville Brothers showed a little discretion with regard to their lyrics and cut a couple tracks, they would have had a much stronger album, which in a way is as good a statement as one could make about their entire career.

The Doors – L.A. Woman [DCC Gold GZS-1034]
Release: 1971/March 20, 1993 | Label: DCC | Audiophile
Genre: Psychedelic Rock | Mono/Stereo: 2 Channel
Included: EAC Log + Ape + Cue + Covers | Size: 275 MB

The Album Notes

L.A. Woman was the last Doors album released with Jim Morrison before his death, in July 1971. The album’s style is arguably the most blues-like of the band’s catalogue.
In 2003, the album was ranked # 362 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Mastered by Steve Hoffman
Review
The final album with Jim Morrison in the lineup is by far their most blues-oriented, and the singer’s poetic ardor is undiminished, though his voice sounds increasingly worn and craggy on some numbers. Actually, some of the straight blues items sound kind of turgid, but that’s more than made up for by several cuts that rate among their finest and most disturbing work. The seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour and seediness of Los Angeles; the other long cut, the brooding, jazzy “Riders on the Storm,” was the group at its most melodic and ominous. It and the far bouncier “Love Her Madly” were hit singles, and “The Changeling” and “L’America” count as some of their better little-heeded album tracks. An uneven but worthy finale from the original quartet. —Allmusic.com

The Album Notes
Trafalgar is the Bee Gees’ seventh album, released in September 1971. The album was a moderate hit in the United States, and peaked at #34. The lead single “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” was the first Bee Gees’ #1 single in the United States. “Review by Bruce Eder
The Bee Gees had entered the early ’70s with a roaring success in the guise of “Lonely Days” and its accompanying album, which established their sound as a softer pop variant on the Moody Blues’ brand of progressive rock. Trafalgar, which followed, carried the process further on what was their longest single LP release, clocking in at 47 minutes. The music all sounded meaningful, much of it displaying the same kind of faux-grandeur that the Moody Blues affected on their music of this era, the core group (playing pretty hard) acompanied by either Mellotron – generated orchestra or the real thing, with the group’s soaring harmonies and Robin Gibb’s quavaring lead vocals all over the place. As with 2 Years On’s “Man for All Seasons,” there was also one title (“Lion in Winter,” featuring a startling falsetto performance) lifted from a recently popular film and play having to do with English history. It was all very beautifully produced and, propelled into record – store racks by the presence of “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” the group’s first No. 1 single, Trafalgar shipped very well initially. Nothing else on the record was remotely as memorable as the single, however, and its sales were limited.
Trafalgar was also the handsomest and most elaborately designed of their albums, its cover reprinting Pocock’s painting “The Battle of Trafalgar” and the interior gatefold containing a shot of the brothers enacting the scene of the death of Lord Nelson. It all imparted the sense of a concept album, though nothing in the music said so, except perhaps the finale, “Walking Back to Waterloo.” Despite the hit single, the album showed the limits of the Bee Gees’ talents as songwriters and of their appeal as album artists. ”

Eric Clapton – Slowhand [MFSL 24 KT Gold CD UDCD 553]
Release Date: 1977/1991 | Genre : Rock | Lossless
Audiophile | Record Label: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab
Included: EAC + Cue + Flac + Covers | Size : 222 MB

The Album Notes
SLOWHAND was the album which defined the new cool of Eric Clapton, a sultry, laid-back mix of rock and blues, with a heavy dose of country and southwestern regional sounds to leaven the blend. After LAYLA, SLOWHAND was probably Clapton’s most popular, fully realized solo disc.
The opening number was by J.J. Cale, whose “After Midnight” had been one of the real joys of the guitarist’s first solo excursion, ERIC CLAPTON. “Cocaine,” with its slow grinding beat, menacing melodic vamp and one-step from perdition lyrics, was the toughest, most rocking number on SLOWHAND, and a major radio hit from the outset.
A couple of vocal duets with countryish harmonies set the tone for the rest of SLOWHAND. “Lay Down Sally” was a funky, chicken-fried bit of boogie with a taut, melodic aside from Clapton’s twangy Stratocaster, while Don Williams’ sweet, soulful “We’re All The Way” provided a low-key vehicle for Clapton’s tender vocal exchanges with Marcy Levy, as his understated arpeggios toll away in the background.
