Review: Sonny Rollins, "Way Out West: Deluxe Edition"

February 23, 2018 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Sonny Rollins Way Out West

The musical power of Sonny Rollins' Way Out West may have been eclipsed by its most famous component - that famous William Claxton cover photo, depicting the nattily-attired saxophonist in a ten-gallon hat, with holster, gun belt, and yes, saxophone.  All joking aside, the New York-born Rollins was way out west, having recorded the LP on his first trip to California.  The cover was shot in the Mojave Desert, which could have stood in for the setting of any of the cowboy films he loved as child.

Rupert Holmes Songs That Sound Like Movies

There are songs that sound like movies/There are themes that fill the screen/There are lines I say that sound as if they're written/There are looks I wear the theatre should have seen... With those words, Rupert Holmes welcomed listeners into his singular musical world - one in which the only limits were those of the singer-songwriter's boundless imagination.  In other words, there were no limits to Holmes' finely crafted, elaborately realized pop dramas.  His 1974 Epic Records debut,
