Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues 1945-1970)

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 24, 2004
This great 2-disc collection covers a 25 year-period, when small and large labels utilized Nashville studios for that special sound - something a little bigger, often with incongruous back-up ("pop" vocal groups, electric sitars) that worked every time. True, sometimes the instrumentation came off a bit "assembly line" - access Ruth Brown's fun remake of "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean" (love those oddball remakes!) - the guitar break is smoothly commercial, reminiscent of something like the pickin' on Elvis Presley's 1963 "Blue River", also done in Nashville.
Talking about remakes, it comes to mind that several 1950's rockers went to Nashville in the 1960's to recut their hits: the Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little ... Read More:

The Disco Years, Vol. 1: Turn the Beat Around

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 12, 1990
The first and best of Rhino's "Disco Years" compilations. "Turn the Beat Around" offers 16 dance tracks ranging from Van McCoy's "The Hustle" to The Trammps' "Disco Inferno." Notable artists include KC & The Sunshine Band, Rose Royce and Thelma Houston. All that's missing are Donna Summer and Chic (both featured in later Rhino volumes). Though a memorable time capsule, you should look elsewhere for extended club mixes - preferably Rebound's excellent "Disco Nights" series.

Slow Jams: The Timeless Collection, Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 09, 1994
This was an enjoyable collection of old school music. I primarily purchased it for the Chapter 8 classic,(with Anita Baker), I Just Wanna Be Your Girl, and Lenny Williams, Cause I Love You...aka the begging song...New Birth's Wildflower, and Rose Royce's I'm Going Down.
As our "albums" disintegrate, warp or scratch beyond playing, it's great to know that we can pluck our obscure favorites and play them again, on updated media...again and again.
