LP, "Plus" Bundle, and "Deluxe" Bundle: Pledge Music Originally released  in 1994, the 10-track collection featured interpretation of Erica Jong's written work.  In fact, the album's title is derived from a phrase found in Jong's 1973 work, Fear of Flying, itself a landmark in second-wave feminist literature that sparked controversy for its representation of female sexuality.  With Zipless, Daou presented a music manifestation of those written words with a sensuous combination of jazzy and

Holiday Gift Guide Review: Elvis Presley, "'68 Comeback Special: 50th Anniversary Edition"

November 30, 2018 By Joe Marchese 1 Comment

Elvis 68 Comeback Box

Elvis had a lot riding on his December 1968 NBC-TV special.  Once the brightest star in the galaxy - and one whose every freeing move caused ripples in American society - he was no longer at the top of the charts.  A string of lightweight movie musicals had rendered the once-"dangerous" entertainer as wholesome as apple pie.  At the time of the broadcast, Elvis' most recent single ("Guitar Man") had failed to crack the top 40 and he hadn't had a chart-topper since "Good Luck Charm" in 1962.  He

Kalapana Black Sand

Black Sand: The Best of Kalapana, a 20-track anthology from the Hawaiian band drawn from the years 1975-1983, presents a vivid portrait of the group that, despite various personnel changes, has been playing to sold-out crowds for 45 years now.  Yet one question lingers: how has Kalapana languished in obscurity on the American mainland for so long? Malani Bilyeu, D.J. Pratt, Kirk Thompson, and Mackey Feary came together to make music in 1973. All but Pratt were born in Honolulu; the lead
