Georgie Fame at Pride Of Manchester Georgie Fame's music can not be labelled as either jazz nor rythm and blues - it is somewhere between the two, and his albums in the 1990's have gathered fans from all musical tastes. The 1980's saw Georgie Fame strengthen his jazz connections and the 1981 "In Hoagland" album included a collaboration with Hoagy Carmichael and Anne Rice. His 1967 "Two Faces Of Fame" album was recorded both live and in the studio, capturing both sides of Georgie at his best. www.unitedmanchester.com /music/georgiefame.htm   (1123 words)

FAME Review: East Asheville Hardware: Dave Wilcox Recorded live, this album is a montage of previously unreleased songs recorded in several different concert settings. Another anomaly is the parting cut; a campy late-night version of Wilcox's "Eye of the Hurricane." Curiously this last cut is not recognized in the liner notes and adds almost three minutes to the album. Musically the album is diverse; ballads, blues, an a cappella song and even a story. www.acousticmusic.com /fame/p00182.htm   (2433 words)

Epinions.com - THE BALLAD OF BONNIE AND CLYDE — GEORGIE FAME & THE BLUE FLAMES The debut album for Georgie fails to chart but in October 1964 his follow up “Fame At Last” goes to #15 on the UK album chart.

He continued in this vein with Fame, Ben Sidran and one of his idols, Mose Allison, recording a tribute album to the latter in 1996. Featuring contributions from diverse names including Shana Morrison (his daughter), Lisa Stansfield, Elvis Costello and the Phil Coulter Orchestra, the album was a grave disappointment for Morrison's fans. www.gohastings.com /catalog/artist/artist.asp?Ctrb_Id=34288955   (2358 words)

David Bowie Taking stock, Bowie took an unlikely detour by recording an album of his favourite mid-60s songs. The title track of the album gave Bowie his third solo UK number 1 and effectively revitalized his recording career in the process. The album was lighter in tone than its predecessor, with Bowie reverting to acoustic guitar on some tracks and exploring a more commercial, yet still intriguing, direction. musicstore.mymmode.com /artist.do?artistID=5958516   (3010 words)

PRESS If this single is anything to go by (and it is, I'm told), expect their debut album to be released this summer amidst a flurry of frenzied press hype, sold out shows and high pitched chimpanzee-impersonating fans. Anyway, up till now probably Monkey Boy's biggest claim to fame was getting to the top of the Highest Earners list on PopEx once when a lot of people bought a lot of shares in them for some reason. Well really I can only describe the sound of this album as some sort of Blues-Punk hybrid with two basses which thunder and pound their distorted way across the length and breadth of the release. www.monkeyboy.co.uk /reviews2.html   (3010 words)

The White Stripes - Elephant White Blood Cells may have been a reaction to the amount of fame the White Stripes had received up to the point of its release, but, paradoxically, it made full-fledged rock stars out of Jack and Meg White and sold over half a million copies in the process. Crucially, the White Stripes know the difference between fame and success; while they may not be entirely comfortable with their fame, they've succeeded at mixing blues, punk, and garage rock in an electrifying and unique way ever since they were strictly a Detroit phenomenon. The White Stripes' two strengths lie in their understanding of the physics of "rock 'n' roll" and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, their ability to craft a beautiful little boy/girl ditty. www.xs4all.nl /~fsgroen/Albums-W/WhiteStripesElephant.htm   (5137 words)

Songwriters Hall of Fame When the Georgia Music Hall of Fame was established in 1978, Bill Lowery and Ray Charles (who recorded "Georgia on My Mind") were recipients of the very first Georgies. Years later, in 1996, the actual Georgia Music Hall of Fame was dedicated in Macon due to the long-term efforts of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame Authority Board, of which Bill Lowery was a member, appointed by the then Georgia Governor, Zell Miller.

WALRUSGUMBOOT BEATLE NEWS: 09/01/2003 - 09/30/2003 But the logical choice would be an album of Beatles Top 40 Hits which would fill an album and contain the songs missed by the earlier album. Rock music's most celebrated musicians gathered at Royal Albert Hall in London on Nov. 29, 2001, to pay tribute to one of their own, the legendary George Harrison, on the one year anniversary of his death. The story of Jesus' crucifixion was, likewise, deliberately and liturgically shaped by their authors who had Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 in front of them as they wrote the passion narrative. maxwelledison.blogspot.com /2003_09_01_maxwelledison_archive.html   (7125 words)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum : Hall of Fame : Inductee Detail And though a Yule-led Velvet Underground briefly kept the name alive, that was essentially the end of the story: four brilliant albums that formed a blueprint for the next three decades of rock and roll. Brian Eno, cofounder of Roxy Music and producer of U2 and others, put it best when he said that although the Velvet Underground didn’t sell many albums, everyone who bought one went on to form a band. The Velvets soon became the house band at Warhol's studio, the Factory, and the centerpiece of his multimedia extravaganza, the “Exploding Plastic Inevitable.” Their debut album, The Velvet Underground and Nico, featured a classic Warhol-designed pop-art jacket that depicted a big yellow banana. www.rockhall.com /hof/inductee.asp?id=204   (7125 words)

rfmcdpei: [REVIEW] Savage, the video album Savage is an album and a video organized around three themes: a voyeuristic interest in fame and the artifice of the stage; an examination of the damage done to human relations by fame; and, a rejection of celebrity and its discontents for a more honest and profound romantic love. Savage the album was treated by reviewers as Annie's therapy album, as the forum she used not only to express the stress and alienation she suffered from her stardom, but to communicate her relief and happiness at finally finding a reliable life partner. Savage has been presented as the precursor to Annie Lennox's later solo career, drawing upon the same themes of romantic breakdown and personal isolation present in her three solo albums (1992's Diva, 1995's Medusa, and 2003's Bare). www.livejournal.com /users/rfmcdpei/496829.html   (7125 words)

MTV.com: Madonna: Dancing Queen Heavily self-referential, the album might find Madonna singing about the weighty topics that informed her last LP — Kabbalah, questioning fame and the material world — but the lyrics come with the sweetener of thumping, pulsing, shimmering dance beats. The album merges elements of '70s disco, '80s electro-pop and present-day club burners, but it also allows us a peek into Madge's mind, with her thoughts on love, religion and fame bubbling into the album's frothy mix. Yet the album's strongest track might be the second single, the Pet Shop Boys-esque "Sorry," which is punctuated with Madonna singing the title in about 10 different languages, and wistfully evokes the sounds of the '80s-era dance clubs that first lofted her toward stardom. www.mtv.com /bands/m/madonna/news_feature_051107/?headlines=true   (1040 words)

Boston.com / A&E / Music / James Carter; jail song brought fame, fortune -- 40 years later LOS ANGELES -- James Carter, who led a Mississippi chain gang in singing a work song that was recorded by a famed musicologist and, more than 40 years later, became part of the top-selling "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack album, has died. "Po' Lazarus" was used as the opening song on the soundtrack, and the album became a surprise hit that by early 2002 had sold 4 million copies. One of the songs Lomax recorded was "Po' Lazarus," a melancholy tune about a man who is hunted and gunned down by a sheriff with a.44 revolver. www.boston.com /ae/music/articles/2003/12/09/james_carter_jail_song_brought_fame_fortune____40_years_later   (158 words)

Jed Marum, Streets Of Fall River / Into The West: Celts In Texas On this album is a performer singing his favourite songs with a delivery that comes straight from the soul.
