    Album Description

    Surely the legendary Woody Guthrie needs no introduction? The inspiration for pretty much every folk/protest and let's face it, rock singer ever! When Woody Guthrie first appeared on the scene, he must have seemed a dream come true to the academics making up the folk scene, a genuine Folk/Americana artist on a par with Jimmy Rodgers or The Carter Family, a quixotic political journalist in a George Orwell vein, an anarcho-syndicalist thinker straight out of Republican Spain, and a stand-up, fealess ramblin' man without peer, all in one ornery package, like a folklore project come to life, he has blazed through music for decades. THE influence on the likes of Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, you name them, as relevant to day as ever, here is a mere primer on this amazing artist. Some of Guthrie's most influential songs in their original versions. Beautifully re-mastered in true Rev-Ola style.

    4 out of 5 stars A Classic Album By One of the Greatest British Bands to Never Break Big in America.......2005-10-23

    This is probably the best work by one band who for some reason never clicked in America. This pretty much signalled a peak in Family's career as this album begins with a very catchy opening track in "Burlesque" and takes it from there. Roger Chapman pretty much shows why he is regarded as one of rocks best frontmen and Charlie Whitney shows why he is one of the finest guitarists in rock. Also, Poli Palmer uses this album to really show off his experimental side as he makes good use of synthesizers on this album as well as his trademark flute, vibraphone and piano playing. There are a few slow spots, but all in all this is a great album by a band who should have been big in America.

    5 out of 5 stars Still Solid, Classic, Powerful, Excellent, Dense, Wonderful.......2004-05-11

    Family was always the real deal, the working person's band, a group that did not pander to the top-40 crowd, recording executives, or misguided program directors.

    Roger Chapman and Charlie Whitney are certainly the most underrated duo of songwriters ever to front a rock band. Few realize just how many songs they composed together in both Family and later in Streetwalkers. Chappo's vocal prowess once led "Rolling Stone" to dub him arguably the best rock vocalist ever. The remarkable guitar playing of the versatile Whitney, the solid bass lines and backing vocals of John Wetton (his counterpoint to Chapman worked remarkably well), and the ever steady drumming of Rob Townsend still sound fresh and inventive. One quibble is that Poli Palmer sometimes goes overboard on the synthesizers making some passages clearly show their age, but then he redeems himself on others by tossing in the odd quirk.

    The opening track, the classic "Burlesque," kick starts this session. "Burlesque," which can bring any moribund gathering to life, is one of the few Family songs any of my friends can recall having ever heard. Solid power rock songs such as the darkly humorous "Broken Nose," the snarling "Ready To Go," or lament "Top of the Hill" anchor the CD, and these are all tracks that, together with "Burlesque" can easily toe to toe with the best hard rock of the '70s. The acoustic tunes such as their gentle anthem about dealing with depression "My Friend the Sun" or the homage to memories in "Coronation" songs are even more remarkable for their beauty when contrasted with the grittiness of the real rockers here. Clearly, Family covered all the bases. Even the throwback bonus track, "The Rockin' R's," which harkens back to early '60s pop of the pre-Family line up of the Farinas sounds great on this remastered CD.

    The fact that Family never broke through to become as big as its contemporaries does not diminish the importance of their body of work. Their music is worth the effort to seek out. I envy those of you who will soon be hearing some of this music for the first time.

    If you already have Bandstand on a remastered CD with bonus tracks, then the only reasons to grab this latest edition would be for the bonus live tracks, but getting a copy of the long-awaited Family Live CD should satisfy the need for the live material in a more complete manner.

    4 out of 5 stars FAMILY'S "BANDSTAND": AS GOOD AS DICK CLARK'S.......2004-04-24

    a CLIFFORD HODGE review

    Family was ahead of its time, prefiguring the likes of Roxy Music by using an assortment of instruments previously not normally used in rock bands, such as clarinet, for example, and displaying a slight jazz influence; but what is most noteworthy about this band, popular in the U.K., but little known in America, is the almost unbelievable vocal intensity of front-man Roger Chapman, and by this I do not mean volume, I mean just sheer emotional bust-a-gut, pop-a-vein-in-your-face intensity. How did he do that? Jim Morrison should have been so intense. MC5 could have learned a thing or two. James Brown,...well, that's the level we're talking about here. Truly. Never have I heard the likes of him, nor do I ever expect to. And the band was equal to him instrumentally. Just listen to "Broken Nose" on this album. The frantic violin starts you wondering how the nose gets broken, the music providing an irresistable aural image. And then there is "Burlesque," and the incredibly poignant "My Friend The Sun", a simple ballad you would not expect from someone who sings "Broken Nose," or "Weavers Answer," not on this album, but one of their most haunting numbers. A 60's - 70's British band, Family had a sound quite its own, not in that common blues category a'la Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Savoy Brown, Groundhogs, Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Graham Bond, et. al., nor fitting into the psychedelic slot with such as The Strawberry Alarm Clock, or the garage sound of the Troggs or Them. Family just sounded like Family, perhaps one of the first progressive mainstream bands - as opposed to the progressive experimental. Theirs was a sound which was very easy for the average listener to relate to and adaptable to FM radio play, which makes it hard to understand why they were not played a lot more in the U.S. If you were to listen to my "The Best of Family" vinyl compilation, you would say that virtually any of these songs could easily have been a top 40 hit single, while at the same time having your interest piqued by the recognition that this was different from other things you'd heard. "Bandstand" is not Family's best, but it is quite good, and certainly much better than 99% of what you might have heard over the last 20 years on that other "Bandstand". If I didn't have it, it would be first on my "buy" list.

    5 out of 5 stars Family's Most Accessible Masterpiece.......2004-04-13

    Bandstand is probably Family's most accessible album. It has enough variety and eccentricities to satisfy the devotees, but also a number of songs a Family fan could play for friends without frightening them away. Lovely ballads like "My Friend The Sun" and "Dark Eyes." A crackling rocker like "Burlesque." Even straight-up R&B in "Ready To Go."

    I figured that the rest of Bandstand had probably never been played on any radio station this side of Leicester, but then a later reviewer insisted that he played more of it on his college radio station. Duly corrected, it's still safe to say that American radio stations failed to wear out their copies. Only Roger Chapman could come up with "Broken Nose," an aggressive rock torch song with unusual propulsive rhythms, written sympathetically from the point of view of a stalker who laments: "The day that I stopped loving you was the day you broke my nose." "Bolero Babe" sounds like it was written by Maurice Ravel's cousin from Saturn. "Top of the Hill" is yet another example of how Chapman & Whitney often sounded like they weren't playing the same song, but still made it work in unimaginable ways.

    I am baffled by the reviewer who criticized Family's arrangements on Bandstand. OK, Roger Chapman's voice is definitely not for everyone, & I can respect that. Family's music can be more challenging than some folks are willing to deal with, and they're not for everyone even without dealing with Chappo's crazed goat-boy vocal's. But the arrangements? The more complex pieces on Bandstand have incredible arrangements. Note my dissent.

    Apparently, lots of Family albums are now being re-re-reissued with live tracks. If you have any interest in these guys live, the 2004 release "Live" (not much imagination in the marketing department, I guess) is most worthwhile and long overdue. Don't rebuy Bandstand yet again for the live tracks, get the live album instead.

    Album Details

    The Lovely Annisteen Allen was Discovered by the Legendary Louis Jordan, who Recommended her to Lucky Millinder, Then on the Lookout for a Top Notch, Sexy Female Vocalist. She Went Solo in the Early 1950s after Scoring Mega National Chart Hits with Lucky's Band, and Made Some Superb R&B Sides to Rival Those of Laverne Baker and Ruth Brown at Atlantic (She was a Much Better Singer Than Either Allegedly!) Annisteen Had Perhaps her Biggest and Most Notorious Hit in 1953 with "Baby, I'm Doin' It!" - a Saucy Answer to the Five Royales' Chart-topper "Baby, Don't Do It!". Her Most Famous Song is Undoubtedly the Explosive "Fujiyama Mama" which Wanda Jackson Turned Into a Rockabilly Classic in 1957.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic songs, great voice; a vastly underrated artist,.......2007-06-18

    Overshadowed by rythm'n'blues artists like Ruth Brown, Faye Adams, LaVern Baker, etc., this one was every bit as great a talent and singer as any of them. And she could really belt out songs-what a pair of lungs!
    This is probably the best collection one can get of her music on CD, if there are any other collections available to speak of. The original version of "Fujiyama Mama" is included here, which was later covered by Wanda Jackson. In my opinion, she was one of the great r'n'b/blues singers of all time, and as time went on, she never got the credit she was due.
    I would highly recommend this CD.

        From his amazing sleazy jump blues mega-hits (a staple of modern day burlesque shows and 'swing dance' clubs)to his then flop but now Rock n Roll classic 'The Train Kept A Rollin' (recorded by everyone from The Johnny Burnette Rock nRoll Trio to The Yardbirds to Aerosmith to lord knows who!) this is classic stuff, Jump jiving on a summer night, too hot for a zoot suit, but, hey, one can't have everything. Never before on CD. All the hits AND the timeless "Train kept A rollin'. Wonderfully re-mastered in true RevOla style. Beautiful pics and RARE as hell memorabilia. A must for all fans of ROCKING jump blues tunes, Swing dancing and Burlesque, so I guess that's everybody!!

          5 out of 5 stars Groove Holmes at his best.......2004-10-04

          This CD is a masterpiece, I was not aware that Groove Holmes was that good. The swinging is there all the time. This is really my taste of organ jazz at its best, I am a beginner in the field myself. The fellow musicians, Gene Edwards on guitar and George Randall on drums, have a perfect timing and are apparently also very inspired on this recording from 1966. I rate this one as a reference together with Jimmy Smith's "The Master" and "The Master II" from 1993 and the swedish master Pierre Sward's "Organ Jazz'n Soul" from 1993.

          2 out of 5 stars Tears to the Eyes.......2004-09-17

          I have not owned any Groove albums, but I heard one track on the radio, and then I sampled the tracks on this album. This live stuff is raw, energized, soulful, gritty, down home true Hammond B3. From what I can tell on these short samples, these tracks are not befogged in a stew of corny 60's and 70's "progressive" crap... and so much the better! I'm ordering it now, to go with my other B3 stuff.

          5 out of 5 stars Gentlemen, start your engines!.......2004-06-20

          Wow, Groove's on form for this one.
          He's keepin' it really real.

          It sounds like he's been listening to a lot of early Jimmy Smith and the energy is incredible.
          He plays some nice tunes too.

          This is one to get. A thrilling document of how it was back in the day, back in the club.

          I've never been a big Holmes' fan--his registrations in the post-Jimmy Smith era seemed awfully retro and restricted at a time when Charles Earland and Larry Young were coming up with new sounds and McGriff was at least mixing them up. Moreover, Groove's bass lines were no match for Big John Patton's or Donald Patterson's. On the other hand, I've never heard a lounge organist go after it like Holmes does on this "live" session, recorded at Basie's Harlem night club in the late 60's. The tempos are furiously, even insanely, fast on both "Indiana" and "Rifftide," and Groove plays chorus after chorus like a man possessed--or a demon on speed.

          Although no train wreck occurs, you can't help but feel some sympathy for the drummer, George Randall, who falters but finishes. The rhythmic feel reminds me of "Bags and Trane," a session on which Connie Kay is always slightly behind the beat set by bassist Paul Chambers. I was rooting for Randall all the way, long after he'd abandoned the pointless task of trying to locate his hi-hat on the off-beats. This is Groove's groove, and he's strong enough to insure that he has his way. It's also at once exhilarating and punishing music, the relentless and merciless groove of a killer player. I can't take too much of it at a sitting, and I don't dare put it on while my wife is in the house. This is music for the big boys, best saved for a night on the town.

            Album Details

            With his Sister Ella Seductively Serving as his Primary Vocalist (And Qualifying for Our Series of Uber-sexy Lady Singers!), Pianist Buddy Johnson Led a Large Jump Blues Band that Enjoyed Tremendous Success During the 1940s and '50s, Rockin' the Savoy Ballroom Nightly..... The Suave Bandleader Spotlighted a Series of Talented Singers, Including Balladeers Arthur Prysock, Nolan Lewis, and Floyd Ryland, but it was Ella's Understated Delivery (Beautifully Spotlighted on the Sumptuous Ballad "Since I Fell for You") and Buddy's Crisply Danceable "Walk-em Rhythm" that Made the Aggregation So Successful for So Long. Buddy Moved Over to in 1953, Buddy and Ella Starteed on a New Series of Smashes with Ella's "Hittin' on Me" and "i'm Just Your Fool," the Latter a 1954 Standout that was Later Purloined By, of all People, Chicago Harpist Little Walter, Whose Hits Are Out this Month on Revola!

            4 out of 5 stars American Bandstand & pop culture.......2003-06-06

            American Bandstand has got to be the best music show ever. I had the chance to talk to a dancer who was in her teens at the time. She sais her favorite year was 1964 which is mine.
            I'm a little disappointed about the fact there is very few 70's. Also I'm disappointed about "I Get Around" being there insted of "Don't Worry Baby." Thats why I gave it 4 stars.
            I love Bandstand and I love this cd. I just think it should have more.

            4 out of 5 stars These songs have a great beat & you can dance to them.......2001-05-30

            "American Bandstand" was certainly a forerunner to the modern day music video-It enabled us to see our favorite performers up close & personal-Dick Clark brought us all the big names:Buddy Holly,Jerry Lee Lewis,Stevie Wonder,The Beach Boys,Jefferson Airplane,Creedence Clearwater Revival,The Jackson Five,Prince,& even Madonna-This set gives you most of the big hits from the 50's to the 80's-With the exception of "The Twist","Worst That Could Happen" & "White Rabbit",all the songs in this collection are the original versions as you remember hearing them on the radio-A definite must purchase for any oldies fan.

            5 out of 5 stars Great Set!.......2000-08-08

            The set from Q Records is wonderful - there are gems from every decade to be found on each CD, and the whole set is a great example of the growth of rock n'roll from the 50s to the 80s. You should buy this set!!!!

            5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Compilation!.......2000-05-28

            This is a great sampling of four decades of pop/rock music! It's interesting to listen to all eight CDs chronologically and hear the subtle changes in music from the 1950s to 1980s. For anyone who watched the television program, "American Bandstand," and for those who are too young to remember it, this is an entertaining trip through time from Buddy Holly to the Pointer Sisters.
