Bayou Country (40th Ann. Ed)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classic Rock
by: Ccr

October 07, 2008
The first time I heard Bayou Country right after it's release in
January 1969, it blew me away. This was truly a unique sound
that captured the imagination of practically every kid who had a guitar
or even the slightest interest in starting a garage rock band.
From the haunting, opening E7th chord salvos in "Born on the
Bayou" to one of the staples of 60's/70's pop, "Proud Mary"
and ending with the catchy, rhythmic "Keep on Chooglin' ", this album continues to amaze me how it still grabs the musical psyche.
Creedence took the San Fran. rock style of the late 60's and made it a little more palatable to the main stream.
The grooves side one of my original vinyl have worn through ... Read More:

Gift of Screws

by: Lindsey Buckingham

September 16, 2008
Bought this album about a month ago and got to see Lindsey perform the album this week. Lindsey has returned to the quality of recording which he put out with Fleetwood Mac.Outstanding tracks include Great Day, Did You Miss Me, Love Runs Deeper, Underground and Treason. Love Runs Deeper has an infectious sound to it and Treason is an anthem for today's times.Any Fleetwood Mac fan will not regret buying this album.

Live in Gdansk (2CD + 2DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classic Rock
by: David Gilmour

September 23, 2008
I bought the deluxe package including 2CD + 2DVD. The good part of it, the entire performance of the show are top quality. Gilmour give one of is best performance of "Comfortably Numb", unfortunately Richard Wright are not the right person to replace Roger Water's part. The VERY BAD side of that show, is the sound recording. Not a question of the DTS 5.1 full spectrum sound, but the compression of the sound. Just use a set of headphone and you wont believe it, so many drop outs of level, like on "High Hope" and "Echoes", more the music is getting louder, more it's going away. At the end it's sound like a bunch of bread. I have also noticed this problem on "Remember that night" DVD, but it is less perceptive than this one. I don't know who mixed that show, ... Read More:

Elton John: Elton 60 - Live at Madison Square Garden

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classic Rock
starring: Elton John

October 02, 2007
Off the top, I have to admit that I am biased towards Elton John. His music has given me more pleasure since the early seventies than any other performer. I'll admit there was a period in the 80's and 90's when I was not so fond of his songs. I have heard him say that he was on a drug induced ego trip, and he feels the same way about this period. But even during this period he wrote some great music. I do feel that he was at his most creative during the early seventies.
I was always diasappointed that I never had a chance to see Elton John live. So when Concert DVD's became available, I bought a couple of E.J. concerts, including "One Night Only" and a concert recorded in Spain. I enjoyed both of them, but lamented the fact that the sound was not the ... Read More:

I was hesitant about this purchase but once I listened to it..WOW!! Very relaxing and the 2 voices were ment to sing together. It's a perfect cd for a romantic night or a diner party. Robert Plant is a man of many talents..from ROCK GOD OF THE 70'S to a mature and mello Rock God!!!

Pendulum (40th Ann. Ed) (Rm)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classic Rock

October 07, 2008
Not as highly renowned as "Green River" or "Cosmo's Factory", "Pendulum" may need a little time to assimilate, but in time it will grow on you.

These songs aren't as immediately memorable as hit singles like "Proud Mary" or "Bad Moon Rising", but it is quite interesting to hear how John Fogerty spent time arranging, polishing, trying out new styles, adding keyboards and horns to the "classic" Creedence sound. Sure, the instrumental "Rude Awakening #2" sounds suspiciously like progressive rock, which certainly wasn't Creedence's forté, but the vast majority of these songs are excellent. Just listen to the atmospheric acoustic folk-rock of "Have You Ever Seen The Rain", the bluesy raver ... Read More:
