Elvis Presley – Prince From Another Planet

Posted on November 13, 2012 by ChuckDauphin
By 1972, Elvis Presley had exorcised himself from one of his worst creative periods. While much of the 1960s represented a vast wasteland of forgettable films and soundtracks, his 1968 NBC special – and his subsequent 1969 “Memphis Sessions” had restored the luster to the “King’s” shine. Never a prolific touring artist, Presley took to the road as never before, with documentaries like “Elvis On Tour” and “That’s The Way It Is” featuring the singer at full…

Josh Turner – Live Across America

Posted on September 3, 2012 by ChuckDauphin
Since he burst upon the scene almost a decade with “Long Black Train,” Josh Turner has become one of the most dependable acts in Country Music. Along the way, Uncle Herschel and the good folks at Cracker Barrel have picked up on this fact, teaming up with the singer for a live disc a few years back, as well as sponsoring his recent tour. The two have partnered up for another exclusive release, and this one will no doubt entertain Turner’s…

K-Flay- Spreading The Music!

Posted on June 16, 2012 by ChuckDauphin
How does one define the music of style of K-Flay? The artist herself says those words are hard to come by. “Sometimes, I don’t really know how to describe it,” she tells MNN. “It definitely has a hip hop / rap foundation to it, with a little bit of indie rock and electronic music. It’s still evolving. On the last EP, we started to hone in on the sound I wanted, but it’s still a work in progress,” she says. K-Flay, who is currently on the southern swing of her tour, will be hitting Atlanta’s Drunken Unicorn on Monday. She says she’s excited to come back …

Johnny Cash – Live Around The World (Bootleg, Volume 3)

Posted on January 30, 2012 by ChuckDauphin
Since his passing in 2002, there have been many collections of music released from the vast catalog of “The Man In Black.” One of the best in this series has been the “Bootleg” series from Sony. You get to hear a different side of some of Cash’s defining moments, and this package is no different. This set starts with a live show on the “Big D Jamboree” in Dallas in 1956, and includes one of his signature songs, “I Walk The Line.” It then segues into performances from 1962 and 1964 – on the latter, Cash…

Ray Charles – Live In France, 1961

Posted on December 27, 2011 by ChuckDauphin
Ray Charles was, without a doubt, one of American music’s greatest all-time treasures. This new DVD collection, filmed at the Antibes Jazz Festival in July 1961, is living proof of just how special his natural gift was. Ironically, these performances were thought to be lost for almost a half-century. The original films have been transferred and digitally restored and remastered, and they look and sound absolutely pristine. And, then there’s what truly matters the most – the music. That has been the thing that has endured…

38 Special – Live From Texas

Posted on December 13, 2011 by ChuckDauphin
As the inner sleeve of this disc reflects, this album was recorded throughout the state of Texas in September 2009. That means that you’re going to get a very loud crowd, as Texans love their music – whether your name is Wills or Van Zant. Speaking of which! There are no heavy handed musical sermons, as the legendary rockers are in no way shape or form trying to influence one’s political persuasion. It’s simply put, Rock and Roll, and that’s one thing 38 Special does just about as good as anyone. Seriously, this is…

Jeff Allen – Self Titled

Posted on November 11, 2011 by ChuckDauphin
The energetic stage show of Jeff Allen has made him one of Nashville’s most talked about new artists as of late. Having had a chance to see him in concert before I heard the record, I wondered would I come away disappointed? After all, communicating the energy of a live show to a recorded disc can be a little bit tough. Ace Nashville musicians Odie Blackmon and Kenny Greenburg, who serve as producers of this disc, succeed wholeheartedly in keeping Allen’s talent front and center. That, along with the…
