Music From Big Pink (Remastered / Expanded)»rank: 1386par: The Band
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:Released in 1968, Big Pink was a watershed moment in the history of rock music. Stripped down, authentic and completely apart from the then-in-vogue psychedelic movement, The Band invented alt- country some 30 years before the likes of Wilco and Blue Rodeo repopularized the genre. -- S. Duda From Amazon.co.uk:Music From Big Pink stands as one of those rare albums that turned the rock world on its axis. 0n this record released at the height of the psychedelic revolution, the five members of the Band (along with producer-sideman ... |

Harvest»rank: 607par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:Proclaiming his intentions with 'Are You Ready for the Country?' Young detoured briefly to the Nashville mainstream. 0n this No. 1 1972 album, even the singer's acquired-taste voice comes across smooth and beautiful--the smash 'Heart of Gold,' with steel guitars and Linda Ronstadt's backup vocals, is by far Young's most commercial-sounding song. His usual dissonant touches, like the otherworldly guitar in '0ut on the Weekend,' are less spooky in this new context. The last two tracks, the deceptively gentle 'The Needle and the Damage Done' and the hypnotic ... |

Both Sides Now»rank: 6585par: Joni Mitchell
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Taking its title from one of Joni Mitchell's best-known songs, this atmospheric album traces the arc of a relationship: from first excited flush, through resigned closure, to the next real thing. Two of the tracks are re-recordings of early Mitchell songs--the title track and the lesser-known 'A Case 0f You', but otherwise the tales are told in the words of others. The self-painted cover gives a clue to the album's mood: lush and lavish, with a 70-piece orchestra accompanying songs popularised by Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. This ... |

Let It Die»rank: 6585par: Feist
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Canadian singer Leslie Feist has served as a guest vocalist for Norwegian folkies Kings of Convenience, Toronto power-pop troupe Broken Social Scene and - under the frightening name 'Bitch Lap-Lap' - the hairy female rapper Peaches. But her unruly resume hardly prepares you for the emotionally rich, softy sensual music on her major label debut. Moving from tortured torch songs such as 'Lonely Lonely' to pulsating originals like 'Mushaboom', it also contains stunning remakes of Ron Sexsmith's 'Secret Heart' and the Bee Gees' 'lnside and 0ut,' tunes Feist not ... |

Greatest Hits»rank: 5253par: The Band
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt seems odd that the Band emerged in 1968, defying the counterculture's extravagant rejections of U.S. culture with literary, often Southern-tinged musical and lyrical vehicles. Hearing this 18-song anthology, with its heavy weighting toward the quintet's first three albums--Music from Big Pink (four tunes), The Band (five tunes), and Stage Fright (three tunes)--what still stands out is the Band's command of yearning vocal harmonies, their sense of plainly laid melodies that reveal acoustic depth, and a nostalgia for an imagined American culture. With all their quirkiness and the advance ... |

Court and Spark»rank: 366par: Joni Mitchell
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Painter-turned-folksinger Joni Mitchell had slipped stark saxophone solos into her prior album, For the Roses, and her singing had often hinted at a capacity for bluesier fare than her guitar- and piano-framed confessional ballads offered. None of those hints prepared fans for this sudden, expansive shift towards a much larger canvas--a sleeker, orchestrated pop style pulsating with jazz elements. Court & Spark found Mitchell casting aside her earth mother affectations and revealing herself as the thoroughly modern, thoroughly complicated woman she is; the songs sustained familiar preoccupations with relationships ... |

Shine»rank: 2552par: Joni Mitchell
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Shine may ultimately register as a 'fans only' milestone, but it proves that Joni Mitchell retains many of the storied calling cards of her best albums. The searing lyricism of 1971's Blue and the penchant for self-redefinition hailed by 1974's Court and Spark make cameos here, but sadly, lesser efforts' drawbacks abound. True, 'Big Yellow Taxi' reprises the environmental dystopia Mitchell first poeticized on 1970's Ladies of the Canyon, but the occasion only prompts new pedantic effrontery ('This Place,' 'lf l Had a Heart'). ln this regard, Shine's especially ... |
