Nice Ones: Esoteric Reissues David McWilliams, Three Man Army
Folk-rock singer-songwriter David McWilliams (1945-2002) may be best known for his 1967 song "Days of Pearly Spencer," a hit throughout Europe except for in the United Kingdom, which Marc Almond successfully revived in 1992. There was more to McWilliams than just that one song, however, as evidenced by Esoteric Recordings' new reissue of his fourth album and first for Dawn Records, Lord Offaly. The Belfast native began immersing himself in music in his early teen years, and he released his
Stay Hungry: Twisted Sister Release New Career Compilation
A new Twisted Sister compilation celebrates their loudest hits as they celebrate their fourth decade together with one last tour. Most know Twisted Sister--the Long Island-based quintet famously comprised of vocalist Dee Snider, guitarists Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda and Jay Jay French, bassist Mark "The Animal" Mendoza and drummer A.J. Pero--for their catchy riffs and over-the-top fashion sense (notably Snider's wild blonde mane and made-up face). This is, of course, what earned them constant

I Would Die 4 Blu: Prince's Filmography Coming to High Definition Video

Towering Twosome: Robinsongs Reissues Jazz-Disco Classics From Lalo Schifrin, Brick
In a career now in its seventh decade, there's little that Lalo Schifrin hasn't accomplished. The four-time Grammy-winning Argentinean composer-arranger-conductor created one of the most memorable television themes of all time with his "Mission: Impossible," worked with Count Basie, Cannonball Adderley and Sarah Vaughan, scored innumerable films (racking up six Oscar nominations in the process) and released a variety of solo albums for labels including Verve, Tabu and CTI. Two of his LPs for
Review: Rhonda Ross, "In Case You Didn't Know"
In Case You Didn't Know: Rhonda Ross has dropped a new release. The album of that title showcases the singer-songwriter on a set of fourteen potent, original tracks. Ross, a gifted vocalist with an expressive instrument, has written or co-written every song on the album, and though the CD's exclusive retailer CD Baby categorizes the record as "Jazz Fusion" - calling to mind the liquid soundscapes of Return to Forever or Weather Report - that term only tells part of the artist's story. The
Above and Beyond: Varese Brings Papa John Phillips, Wynn Stewart to Vinyl
For his first solo album - and lone solo LP released during his lifetime - John Phillips was careful not to repeat himself. With The Mamas and the Papas in the rearview mirror at that moment in time, Papa John reinvented himself as John, The Wolfking of L.A. and surrounded himself with the day's top musicians to craft a beguiling, mellow portrait of Los Angeles circa 1970. Varese Vintage expanded this one-of-a-kind record on CD in 2006, and has recently issued it on a new 180-gram vinyl
