"3-Day Weekend"

One Unforgettable Weekend

Amos Lassen

Ever since I saw Rob Williams' first film "Long-Term Relationship", I have been a fan. Now with three films on DVD, I realize that others have also discovered him. Robb's new film is quite different than his other two in that it does not just deal with one gay couple but several and takes a deep look at the relationships between gay men.
"3-Day Weekend" is about a group of gay men during one weekend which was filled with drama and a touch of intrigue. Simon and Jason are a long time couple and every year they meet with a group of guys on a weekend away from their regular city lives. They are traditionally joined by Cooper and whatever his newest ... Read More:

The Score

by: Fugees (Refugee Camp)

Release Date February 13, 1996
The Score by the Fugees is the most classic, amazing albums of the 90s from hip hop! If you loved Killing Me Softly, buy this album and expand your love for Lauryn Hill and the rest of the Fugees!

Eat a Peach

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: The Allman Brothers Band

Release Date October 14, 1997
This album is a gem--prior to the advent of CDs, I think I wore out 5 or 6 copies of this album on vinyl, and I've kept them all--even the old, worn-out ones. The Allman Brothers Band are often compared with the Dead, but at their best, IMO, they were far better--tighter, more disciplined, even while they were playing "out there." Unlike the Dead's jams, which often seemed chaotic and pointless, under Duane's leadership, the Allman Brothers' jams were more like controlled fire. As good as the rest of the tracks on Eat A Peach are, the second half of the Mountain Jam is for me, the perfect display of Duane Allman's compositional and melodic genius on guitar. After Berry Oakley's bass solo leads into the entire group coming together, Duane lays ... Read More:

The Essential Jerry Reed

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Jerry Reed

Release Date August 01, 1995
After listening to the first song, old memories return. You'll be impressed with all the Jerry Reed songs you actually know and love, but forgot about. Jerry Read's lyrics are funny and entertaining, almost like listening to an old radio show. The range is wide; from comedy to love.

At Last!

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Etta James

Release Date July 27, 1999
I'd ordered several of these CDs, which were put into one bubble envelope, but not individually wrapped -- consequently, they arrived with three of the jewel cases cracked.

Songlines

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: The Derek Trucks Band

Release Date February 21, 2006
I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this super-talented guitar player and his band. This guy is fantastic with ear-catching chops that are also super-melodic. He's got tremendous feel, probably one of the best guitar players I've ever heard.

The whole album is very listener-friendly, energetic yet easy going. It's bluesy and really funky. Great keyboards too. In fact, the singing, the drumming and everything else here is first rate.

The Road to Escondido

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: J.J. Cale, Eric Clapton

Release Date November 07, 2006
This cd is in the laid-back style of JJ Cale. At first, it seemed almost too uneventfull, but with repeated listenings, I've come to appreciate its subtlety more and more.

If you happen to be preparing for an MMA fight, this isn't likely to be your choice for training music. If, on the other hand, you want to get into a mellow mood and smell the flowers for a while, Road to Escondido will take you there in a flash.

I hope there will be a follow-up from these two terrific musicians.

Vantage Point

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Chris Duarte

Release Date September 09, 2008
To call Chris Duarte one of the best guitar players walking the planet would not be an exaggeration. That would, however, be selling him short. Chris has been making fine quality albums for a number of years now. Always with solid song writing, good production, and fine backing from some tremendous musicians. All of these things are in play with Vantage Point. What has become more obvious is the increased range and power of Duarte's voice. Whether growling a smokey blues or wailing a rock tune about some female who done wrong, his versatility continues to amaze and impress. Instrumental prowess is there to be sure, but what Chris is able to accomplish with his voice is nothing short of amazing. With each new album he experiments more boldly and more successfully ...

Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds, Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Jill Scott

Release Date January 03, 2001
I remember this album when I was 13. I love this album. It's soulful and consistent. This is an honestly erotic and animatedly sweet album, enigmatic unto question itself. Her articulation is clear and patient, toying with space and time. This album seeks to establish a multifaceted artist with real, feeling stories on paper. This album went 2x Platinum. Remember, this was 2000-2001.
