Living Proof is a double disc set that chronicles Hank Williams, Jr.'s recordings between 1964 and 1975. During this time, he was still developing his own style and began moving out of his father's shadow. Nearly all of the worthwhile tracks he recorded in this period are included on this set and while they aren't as forceful as his later, rowdier hits, many of the songs are almost as memorable.

Blood Brothers Live in Canada was recorded at Blue Frog Studios, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada, on May 19 and 20, 2023. The new album was produced by Mike Zito and mastered by Kid Andersen.

Tammy Wynette During her heyday of the late '60s and '70s, Tammy Wynette was called "The First Lady of Country Music," an honorarium that spoke to both her elegance and popularity. Wynette dominated the country charts starting in 1967, when "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" rocketed into the country Top Ten, quickly followed by the number one David Houston duet "My Elusive Dreams," and ending in the '70s, when the Top Tens slowly faded away. Over the course of that decade, she recorded hit after hit with Billy Sherrill, a producer who cannily steered her toward writing and singing material that played upon country tradition while addressing modern issues. "I Don't Wanna Play House" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" were heartbreak songs that tapped into the shifting society of the late '60s, a situation her signature song "Stand by Your Man" also tacitly addressed by reasserting old-fashioned values in a time of change.

The 2013 box set Original Album Classics does not contain every one of Dave Edmunds' great albums there is no Get It, no Tracks on Wax 4, no Repeat When Necessary (nothing from Swan Song, in other words) but it does offer good and great records from throughout his career. Subtle as a Flying Mallet, D.E. 7th, I Hear You Rockin' Live, Information, and Riff Raff are all here, and while the latter two are a little hidebound to their Jeff Lynne production, they're enjoyable, while the first two range from great to very good. All and all, at this price it's a steal.

Harry Belafonte An activist, humanitarian, and actor as well as the designated "King of Calypso," Harry Belafonte ranked among the most seminal performers of the postwar era. After starring in films including 1954's Carmen Jones, a musical adaptation of the Bizet opera Carmen, his silken voice and masterful assimilation of folk, jazz, traditional pop, and rhythms of the Caribbean (his parents hailed from Jamaica and Martinique) took the Harlem, New York native to the top of the U.S. album chart in 1956. What became his signature tune, "The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)," was a Top Five hit in the U.S. and U.K. as both his Belafonte and Calypso albums hit number one that year. "Day-O" was part of a two-year run of sun-splashed calypso hits for the singer that also included "Cocoanut Woman" and "Island in the Sun," among others.

British rocker Dave Edmunds began his career in the 1960s with the psychedelic-era band Love Sculpture. His solo career, which embraced an American roots-oriented sensibility encapsulating rockabilly, soul, and R&B, kicked off with a cover of Fats Domino's "I Hear You Knockin'" that became an international hit in 1971. In addition to maintaining a healthy solo career, he laid the groundwork for pub-rock, new wave, and even the rockabilly revival, by producing Brinsley Schwarz, Dr. Feelgood, Ducks Deluxe, Squeeze, Nick Lowe, and the Stray Cats. His collaboration with Lowe in the short-lived supergroup Rockpile remains one of British rock's finest hours.

Recorded Live at The Royal Albert Hall, London Sunday 03 May 2015. Sold and produced at the concert venue on the night of the concert.

In 1998, Kylie Minogue was dropped by dance label DeConstruction, and some thought she had committed career suicide. Obviously the backlash of 1997's Impossible Princess taught the diminutive Aussie one important lesson. Sometimes you have to just go with what you know – go back to basics. And that's just what Minogue has done with 2000's Light Years. Symbolically dropping her last name from the cover, she re-enters the territory that made her great. Granted, with the teen pop movement at its strongest, one could say she just has good timing, but this work is leaps and bounds better than her Stock-Aitken-Waterman work. Light Years is not just another Minogue dance-pop record, but a great collection of disco stylings and Europop kitsch. "Spinning Around" is a fun and string-laden declaration that she may have made a mistake back in 1997, and the Robbie Williams/Guy Chambers-penned "Your Disco Needs You" is probably one of the best dance songs of the '90s. Arguably one of the best disco records since the '70s, Light Years is Minogue comfortable with who she is and what she's good at.

The first complete recording of a colourful collection of keyboard dances from early 17th-century Italy.
What we know of Giovanni Antonio Cangiasi (? - c.1614) is restricted to the publication details of his surviving music. Four collections of sacred works were published between 1590 and 1612, and there followed, in 1614, this sole extant example of his keyboard music. He lived as a Franciscan friar in Milan, and dedicated this volume of Scherzi forastieri to ‘the most noble community of Castelnuovo di Scrivia’, referring to a comune in Piedmont now encompassed by the town of Alessandria, 70km southeast of Milan; perhaps this was his birthplace.

The final volume in a distinguished quartet cycle by one of the most exciting Italian ensembles of the present day.
Founded in 2011, Quartetto Noûs have been playing Shostakovich since their earliest concerts together, and their performances, both in concert and on record, bear the mark of both deep study and complete identification with the scores. These are risk-taking, thoroughly embedded performances, as many critics have recognised, which live up to the edgy intensity of the music itself.

This album is the second release in a series of three, that encompass the entire 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas\u200B. Pianist Moritz Winkelmann is a Prize Winner at the International Beethoven Competition Bonn \u200B and also part of an exclusive educational linneage that can be traced back directly to Beethoven himself\u200B.

Wolfgang Haffner's Life Rhythm Live captures the immersive energy and rhythmic brilliance of his tour, transforming the studio recordings into a vibrant, real-time experience. "Playing this music live has been an incredible journey," says Haffner. "It's about more than just performing the songs—it's about capturing a feeling, sharing the pulse of life with the audience."
Known for shaping music from the drums rather than simply showcasing virtuosity, Haffner once again challenges conventions. His masterful touch allows the groove to lead, creating a deep musical dialogue between melody and rhythm.

A dark, pessimistic work, Belshazzar casts an uncompromising gaze on the fate of empires and those who govern them. In 2013, William Christie and Les Arts Florissants recorded a noble and majestic account of this formidable oratorio.

To see Stevie Wonder live in the 1970s and 1980s was to witness a musical force of nature–a soul-stirring, joy-filled, and deeply spiritual experience that left audiences transformed.In the '70s, Stevie was at the height of his creative powers–his golden era.

Whether you were a funk devotee, a dreamer, or a seeker of truth, Stevie made you feel something real.
