 The Jelly Roll Kings : Off Yonder Wall - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Although they were together off and on in different stints since they formed as the Nighthawks in 1962, blues trio Frank Frost(harmonica, piano, organ), Sam Carr (drums), and Big Jack Johnson (guitar) has had a relatively sparse recording history.
Off Yonder Wall was another reunion of sorts for the trio.
The album was recorded in 1996 by blues enthusiast Robert Palmer (author of a popular blues history called -Deep Blues) and was released on Mississippi's Fat Possum Records a year later, chock-full of spunky blues, most of it done at a quick tempo and anchored by Johnson's aggressive guitar playing and ragged vocals.

 Michael Jackson Album Reviews
Off The Wall (Epic ‘79) Rating: B+ Forever distancing himself from his big brothers and shedding his kiddie persona, Michael Jackson delivered this assured and enjoyable album, which set the stage for his unprecedented commercial success soon to follow.
Jumpstarted by the success of Off The Wall and a mind blowing, showstopping performance on national television during Motown’s 25th Anniversary Special, Thriller became a phenomenon, and to this day it's still the best selling non-greatest hits album of all time.
The closest he comes to showing a social conscience is when singing “Man In The Mirror,” a catchy pop song (which he didn't write!) that preaches self-improvement and is a built in answer to those critics.

 Miles Off The Wall Rock   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
His style was off-the-wall when he played with The Soft Boys 20 years ago, it remained well clear of the wall when he formed The Egyptians, and it has been stuck to the ceiling ever since.
Despite this, he is an excellent guitarist, using acoustic and electric to their full range.
There are other songs -- "Heliotrope", "Let's Go Thundering" -- where he pushes his bass-baritone voice up to a shrill, uncharacteristically Pop-ish treble.

 Off the Wall: This never would have happened under Gillick
EDITOR'S NOTE: "Off the Wall" is a new weekly column, written exclusively for seattlepi.com, by Derek Zumsteg, a local writer, blogger and keen observer of the Mariners and baseball in general.
A player such as Carlos Beltran, who hits for a high average and drives the ball well, matures to add power and walks and can still be effective as he loses bat speed.
He may decline a little over the first few years of this contract, but even if he's healthy, the Mariners are going to be paying him an immense amount of money for a guy who, outside of that one season (at age 28!) has only been a pretty good hitter.

In addition, there are several songs Sondheim has written for films including, “Back in Business,” and “More.” And a beautiful new five part harmony arrangement of “Being Alive.” One curious number in the show is a version of “Do I Hear a Waltz” that has never been done before.
This is not the song Sondheim wrote with Richard Rogers for the show of that name, but a solo effort written several years before.

The song's only one-and-a-half-minutes long and it's basically gun talk and good rhymes.
In the song Em finds himself broke but instead of getting a job (surprise) he robs a store and gets caught in the end.
This song is in my opinion more like a play than a rap song; it's Em at like 12 or 13 when his Mom threw him out and how totally f**ked up their relationship is. I think it's based on Eminem's real life and it's a pretty depressing, like grimy real-TV but in a song.

The pods each have a giant screen outside of the vehicle that correspond with the different video segments on the small screen inside of the pod.
What I got out of the exhibit was a commentary on pop culture's emphasis on independence (à la an isolated vehicle), and the resulting constraints and blindness it brings (it really is claustrophobic inside those muggy capsules).
The best part was watching self-conscious crooners emulate pop culture's ideal of a rock 'n' roll singer while engulfed in a soundproof fiberglass pod.

Given the pace of Michael Jackson's post-Thriller release schedule, it's striking that Off the Wall appeared between two albums with his brothers, Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980), on which the twentysomething phenomenon was also fully engaged.
When Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones teamed up to record the 1979 album "Off the Wall," I doubt they knew what kind of beast they were about to create.
But "Off the Wall" should be credited as the album that put Michael on the map as an adult solo star, and it holds up as a verified classic.

Even though it seems to be one of the most beloved songs off the album, "She's Out of My Life" is one of the biggest hunks of crap that I ever had to listen to.

Off the Wall came after a lay off whilst I went back to full time study, but having now been bitten by the performance bug there was now no stopping me. I trawled the music shop small ads for "musicians wanted" and after a protracted search, found Eric Schaeffer (the original Off the wall drummer).
More calls and we had DaveTomlinson and Eric Booth (both original Off the Wall members) and so, with the addition of "Tall Paul" Off the Wall mk.3 (?) was born.
As for influences, likes, dislikes, favourite songs etc. this is an almost impossible task.

 Michael Jackson - Off The Wall - marcellee.com
From the very beginning, it's clear that the album's main job is to get people Off The Wall and onto the dance-floors.
Of course, the DJ also finds time to ease the tempo down to soulful romance, with song contributions from Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney; not to mention the classic heart-break ballad that uses sweet orchestral laments to announce "She's Out Of My Life".
All in all, Off The Wall, Michael Jackson proves he doesn't need his siblings to make hit pop-music; while paving the way for what seems destined to be a successful solo career.
