I Can't Give Back the Love: Ace Collects Motown Magic on Syreeta's "Rita Wright Years"
Ace's new release from late Motown chanteuse Syreeta, The Rita Wright Years: Rare Motown 1967-1970, kicks off with "I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You." The moody, majestic composition by Brian Holland, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson might have been too unorthodox - beginning with its introductory brass call-to-arms - to attain hit status upon its release as the Motown family of labels' first single of 1968. But, backed on 45 with Ashford and Simpson's beautifully yearning "Something

Review: Keely Smith, "The Intimate Keely Smith: Expanded Edition"
Rarely has an album so lived up to its name as in the case of The Intimate Keely Smith. The 1965 Reprise record, just brought to CD for the first time in a top-notch expanded edition via Real Gone Music, puts the song stylist front and center onstage in a tiny club, backed by just a small combo. The listener has a stage-side table.

Review: Big Star, "Complete Third"
Will the real Big Star’s Third please stand up? That’s a loaded question, for it’s possible that there never, in fact, was a “real” version of the album recorded at Memphis’ Ardent Studios in 1974 by Alex Chilton and Jody Stephens with producer-engineer Jim Dickinson, studio owner John Fry and engineer Richard Rosebrough. Chilton even asserted numerous times that the sessions were never intended to yield a Big Star album at all. (One potential name for the duo of Chilton and Stephens was
