Recording information MSR Studios NYC 06 20 2011 The Roundabout Theatre Company s 2011 Broadway revival of Anything Goes offers a fresh take on Cole Porter s 1934 hit musical while keeping close to the freewheeling spirit of the original The production was a huge success winning Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical and for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical going to Sutton Foster as the singing evangelist Reno Sweeney The album debuted at the top of Billboard s Cast Album Chart and offers ample evidence that the enthusiasm the revival has generated is fully deserved The spotlight is on Foster who brings considerable glamour to a role created by Ethel Merman She skillfully manages the trick of conveying the character s essential sweetness and vulnerability while still channeling some of Merman s humor and brassy confidence She s immensely appealing in songs like I Get a Kick Out of You You re the Top and Anything Goes and she cuts loose in Blow Gabriel Blow The supporting cast is consistently strong which is essential in an ensemble piece like this that s packed with eccentric high-profile characters As Billy Crocker the guy who finally gets his girl Colin Donnell has an appealing charm and he and Laura Osnes as Hope Harcourt generate some heat in duets like Easy to Love a song that had been cut from the original production It s De-Lovely and All Through the Night Osnes poignant solo Goodbye Little Dream Goodbye is one of the album s highlights Joel Grey shines in the crucial but relatively small role of Moonface Martin This production which uses a book updated by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman for a 1987 revival beefs up the role and gives Grey the chance to sing Friendship a song lifted from Porter s show Dubarry Was a Lady with Foster as well as his standard solo Be Like the Bluebird One of the special attractions of this album is the inclusion of several of Porter s songs i

Personnel Stuart Andrews keyboard programming Recording information The Palace Theatre Manchester 02 2010 Since the English-language version of the musical Les Mis rables opened in London in 1985 there have been a number of recordings this one features the cast of the 25th anniversary London revival production with John Owen-Jones starring as the Job-like Jean Valjean and featuring Earl Carpenter as his nemesis Javert Madalena Alberto as Fantine I Dreamed a Dream Katie Hall as the grown-up Cosette Rosalind James as Eponine On My Own and Gareth Gates as Marius On this live recording the cast seems a bit overexcited at the outset but they settle down into a professional performance over the course of the long running time The show has not changed much over the years making any new recording essentially redundant This is not the only one drawn from a live performance but such recordings have the odd aspect of loud cheering which disrupts the grandly tragic intentions of the piece Still the album serves as a souvenir of a work that has held up over a quarter-century and seems likely to do so in the future William Ruhlmann

Description:

CADILLAC RECORDS is a writer director Darnell Martin s riveting ensemble film depicting the rise in the early- 50s to late- 60s of key musical figures at the crossroads between blues rhythm amp blues and rock amp roll Based on the true story of the original Chicago-based purveyors of electric blues Chess Records it centers on two men Leonard Chess Adrien Brody a Polish-Jewish nightclub owner and Muddy Waters Jeffrey Wright a transplanted Mississippi sharecropper with sights set on musical stardom After hearing Waters s electrified Delta blues during a tussle at his nightclub Chess decides to pool his resources into releasing what were then called race records Soon a coterie of label talent from Little Walter and Howlin Wolf to Chuck Berry and Etta James help to propel the fledgling label to the top of the charts-with each hit-maker rewarded by Chess with a shiny new Cadillac automobile While sometimes playing loose with some minor historical points the film truly hits the mark with its attention to visual detail from costumes and cars down to vintage recording equipment all of it is a feast for period buffs But what truly makes CADILLAC RECORDS captivating are the exceptional musical performances of Beyonce Knowles Etta James and Mos Def Chuck Berry two of the finest musicians-turned-actors of their time Ultimately CADILLAC RECORDS most potent message may be the boundless ability that much of this music had in transcending the unsettling realities facing blacks of the time From Payola the practice of bribing disc jockeys to play race records and segregation to white performers pilfering songs written by blacks all of it is handled with admirable aplomb in this enjoyable often edifying film

Description:

Liner Note Author Dean Rudland This is the second volume of previously unissued late- 60s recordings by George Jackson who had some success as a staff songwriter for the FAME studio at Muscle Shoals as well as issuing some releases of his own Of these 24 tracks all but three were written or co-written by Jackson he also sings a couple O B McClinton compositions and one co-authored by Spooner Oldham and Dan Penn Some might feel it s going too far to issue a second volume of unreleased material by someone who was a songwriter foremost and an artist second and admittedly by its very nature this will appeal mostly to Southern soul specialists That doesn t mean it s bad though In fact it s pretty good if you like the FAME sound of the period and is at least the equal of its predecessor Don t Count Me Out The Fame Recordings Vol 1 if you go for this sort of thing Perhaps unburdened by the pressure of having to summon a performance that would get on the radio at least some of these were meant as demos for prospective artists Jackson sings in an unaffected slightly high range that avoids the strain heard on some of the more deliberately intense and emotive Southern soul records of the era The songs are not killer but amble along with a nice relaxed funky Muscle Shoals groove A few of these did find a bigger audience through interpretations released at the time and here you can hear Jackson himself doing I m Just a Prisoner recorded by Candi Staton Mini Skirt Minnie and Save Me the last two of which were included on Wilson Pickett s Hey Jude album Occasionally you can tell some of these are demos but it s seldom that unfinalized production values become a distraction usually in the drumming department with I Lived Through a Losing Battle let down by some really sloppy stickwork Richie Unterberger

Description:

Liner Note Author Dean Rudland By the late 1960s sales on the King label were so dominated by superstar James Brown that other releases by the company were overshadowed and underpromoted What s more Brown s success was so massive that as the liner notes to this CD aptly state King s release schedules were dominated by records by Brown his band or records that seemed to sound as if they were made by Brown Almost a couple dozen such tracks from obscure 1967-1973 singles with the exception of a previously unissued take of Bill Doggett s Wet and Satisfied are on this compilation stretching even past the point where Brown left King for Polydor Most of the artists are as little known as the singles with the exception of the Coasters Hank Ballard and Bill Doggett all 50s rock stars who were long past their prime by the time these cuts emerged Brown had direct or indirect connections to some though not all of these discs sometimes in the production and songwriting departments But though the influence of his funk is fairly pervasive it s not all blatantly son-of-Brown or daughter-of-Brown in nature It s reasonably versatile funky soul from a time that would make for a good mix or party tape of rarities though no doubt one that would spark scowls of disapproval from purists should they learn you did something as easy or common as to just go out and buy a CD In addition to the more groove-oriented tracks there are spins on the form in Kay Robinson s gospel-tinged The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow which also admits some social consciousness reflecting the wake of Martin Luther King Jr s assassination some way-out squealing sax on the Presidents Shoe Shine Part 2 and Connie Austin s Ball of Fire which sounds as indebted to early- 70s Marvin Gaye as Brown Of course some of these are obvious if enjoyable James Brown knockoffs like Frank Howard amp the Continentals Do What You Wanna Do Pt 1 or Clay Tyson s spoken rap Clay Ty
