Review: Klaus Nomi, "Klaus Nomi" (Real Gone Vinyl Reissue)

July 1, 2019 By Sam Stone 4 Comments

KlausNomi KlausNomi

With the new reissue of Klaus Nomi's self-titled debut album, Real Gone Music has presented another lost classic album on vinyl for the first time since its original release some three decades ago. It's one that is full of strangeness, starkness, and subtlety. Klaus Nomi stuns with a diverse repertoire, an over-the-top theatricality, but, more importantly, a dedication to craft that sometimes gets lost in the narrative. Yes, the NYC performance artist collaborated with David Bowie (as seen on

Eddie Money Four Fer

When young Eddie Mahoney changed his name to Eddie Money, it's safe to say that he had his eyes on the prize.  The prize, of course, was chart success - something that the rock-and-roller achieved in abundance with such enduring hits as "Baby Hold On," "Two Tickets to Paradise," and "Take Me Home Tonight."  The BGO label has recently collected four of Money's Columbia Records LPs - the second half of his discography for the label, comprising his fifth through eighth albums - on a new 2-CD set.

James Taylor One Man Band

The One Man Band tour took James Taylor on the road for three years of unusually intimate performances, even by the standards of the guitar-wielding troubadour.  In 2007, the tour culminated in a series of shows at Pittsfield, Massachusetts' small, 775-seat Colonial Theatre, a true homecoming for the famous Massachusetts native.  Joined only by keyboardist Larry Goldings, Taylor treated audiences to a tour through his songbook that amounted to a master class in musical storytelling.  The live
