In The Ghetto: Newest Vinyl Me, Please Anthology Celebrates Legacy of Joe Bataan's Groundbreaking Latin Label, Ghetto Records
Singer-songwriter-musician Joe Bataan's 1973 album Salsoul - so named for its fusion of soul and salsa - would inspire the label of the same name for which Bataan would go on to record. But before inspiring the birth of Salsoul Records, Bataan founded his own New York-based independent label: Ghetto Records. Its label adorned by the image of a cat at home among the trash cans, Ghetto sought to bring further attention to such sounds as salsa, soul, jazz, boogaloo, and beyond. Bataan and
In Memoriam: Monty Norman (1928-2022)
Every songwriter dreams of that one hit that catches on with audiences of every size and shape. If you're lucky, you might write a few that just never leave the popular consciousness. But even just one that's big enough can really make magic - and it's quite easy to argue they don't get much bigger than the one well-known theme by Monty Norman, the British composer who died Monday at the age of 94. When you hear it - slinky chords, bold brass hits and a razor-sharp guitar lick - it won't

Meeting of the Spirits: Impex Premieres Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucia's "Saturday Night in San Francisco"
Two months into a joint tour, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucia took the stage at San Francisco's Warfield Theatre on Friday, December 5, 1980. The three acoustic guitarists, intuitively connected to one another, employed no rhythm section or other instrumentalists. Their tight interplay was nothing short of magical; one could hear a pin drop in the 2,300-seat venue. Di Meola remembered the evening as "a night of pure balls to the wall. But highly inventive balls to the wall."
Touch 'Em with Love: Highlights from Bobbie Gentry's "The Girl from Chickasaw County" Coming to CD, LP in August
Mississippi-born singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry reached the pinnacle of success - earning hit singles, winning Grammy Awards, headlining a BBC series of her own, selling out engagements in Las Vegas, and appearing with Johnny Carson - before pulling off music's ultimate disappearing act. Gentry last performed in public on a television special in 1981 and last appeared in public at the 1982 Academy of Country Music Awards presentation. She was 39. But the music of Bobbie Gentry has never
Review: The Beach Boys, "Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys"
We'll be havin' fun all summer long... For nearly sixty years, the sun-drenched harmonies of The Beach Boys have provided the soundtrack for summer - from those welcome first days and first rays through the season's bittersweet final moments as autumn's chill approaches. They're the rare band whose compilations, beginning with 1974's chart-topping Endless Summer, have become nearly as key to their legacy as the core studio albums. 2003's Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach

Pigs on the Wing: Pink Floyd Reissue "Animals" with Long-Awaited Surround Remix
Pink Floyd's Animals arrived in January 1977, after 1975's Wish You Were Here and before 1979's The Wall. Coming between those two epochal works, Animals was initially dismissed by some critics. Consisting of just five tracks (two short bookends and three lengthy compositions), no singles were released and Animals became somewhat of a hidden gem - despite having peaked at No. 2 in the United Kingdom and No. 3 in the United States. This fall, fans will have a chance to rediscover Animals as

New Four Seasons Mega-Box Will Have You Swearin' to God
The Four Seasons are one of America's most resonant and enduring pop/rock outfits. Between the group and its distinctive frontman Frankie Valli, they've scored around a dozen Top 10 hits - seven of which went to No. 1. Their early output in the '60s held its own against the British Invasion. They maintained hits into the disco era, and a cover of one of their songs hit the upper reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 last year. The original quartet was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and
