Butcher Brown - Camden Session
Really fantastic sounds from Butcher Brown – a group who just seem to leap forward more and more with each new release – and who've really hit their groove with this well-recorded performance! The album was recorded live to disc in London – with a superb sound that only further emphasizes the sharp instrumentation that make these guys way more than just another funky combo – the fluid blend of heavy drums, warm keyboards, rich bass, and great interplay between guitar, trumpet, and occasional tenor – handled with the dexterity of a 70s jazz funk supergroup, but with all the lean energy of a funky 45! The tunes are all originals, all nice and long, and wonderfully soulful – and titles include "918", "Camden Square", "Street Pharmacy", and "Fiat". ~ Dusty Groove
Chicago – Greatest Hits Live
Chicago went back to their namesake hometown’s acclaimed
WTTW-TV studios to record a new collection of their greatest hits. Greatest
Hits Live features a career-spanning collection of Chicago favorites, including
“Beginnings,” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” “I’m A Man,” and “Does Anybody
Really Know What Time It Is,” as well as the chart topping “If You Leave Me
Now,” “Hard Habit To Break,” and “You’re The Inspiration.” Greatest Hits Live
is a companion piece to the Chicago II: Live On Soundstage release. It’s
available in a CD and CD/DVD format.
Kaidi Tatham - In My Life EP
Blinding sounds from Kaidi Tatham – an artist who's really
continued the best spirit of the 4Hero sound with records like this! The set's
only got four tracks, but you'll hardly miss anything at all – as Tatham packs
so much into such a small space – changing up the rhythms in this amazing way,
while also creating explosively soulful keyboard moments amidst the moodier
basslines! Nadine Charles sings a bit on the record, but the instrumental
spaces speak volumes themselves – and titles include "Freddie Can't Run
Away", "But You Bring It Up", "Is Crimbo Really Here",
and "In My Life". ~ Dusty Groove
