The Highway Rider is pianist and composer Brad Mehldau's second collaboration with enigmatic pop producer Jon Brion. The first was 2002's ambitious but tentative Largo. As a collaboration, The Highway Rider is much more confident by contrast. Mehldau’s most ambitious work to date, its 15 compositions are spread over two discs and 100 minutes. His trio - bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard - is augmented by saxophonist Joshua Redman, drummer Matt Chamberlain, and a chamber orchestra conducted by Dan Coleman. The album is a narrative jazz suite, orchestrated and arranged by Mehldau, though it has much in common with classical and pop music, as well…

Following a notorious flirtation with alternative rock, Moby returned to the electronic dance mainstream on the 1997 album I Like to Score. With 1999's Play, he made yet another leap back toward the electronica base that had passed him by during the mid-'90s. The first two tracks, "Honey" and "Find My Baby," weave short blues or gospel vocal samples around rather disinterested breakbeat techno. This version of blues-meets-electronica is undoubtedly intriguing to the all-important NPR crowd, but it is more than just a bit gimmicky to any techno fans who know their Carl Craig from Carl Cox. Fortunately, Moby redeems himself in a big way over the rest of the album with a spate of tracks that return him to the evocative, melancholy techno that's been a specialty since his early days…

Pearls of Passion is Roxette's debut album, released on 31 October 1986. It was re-released internationally on CD on 31 October 1997 with some previously unreleased or single-only bonus tracks. The album was originally only released in Scandinavia and Canada. The album peaked at #2 on the Swedish albums chart but apart from Canada and Scandinavia it failed to get released outside Sweden. However, Roxette went onto record and release their follow-up, Look Sharp!. "Neverending Love", "Goodbye to You", "Soul Deep" and "I Call Your Name" were released as singles. "It Must Have Been Love" was later used in the movie Pretty Woman. "Soul Deep" reappeared on their album Joyride in 1991 and "So Far Away" was recorded again for Tourism in 1992.

This eponymous debut brought the L.A. group from the Hollywood club strip to the world's hard rock spotlight, often with mixed results. Nonetheless, it's a decadently wonderful excursion into the eye of the hair metal hurricane, with the singles "Smooth Up in Ya," and the magnificently awkward cover of the O'Jays soul classic "For the Love of Money." And while the group released several albums afterwards, none of them truly captured the band's fire and spirit as this one did.

De son vrai nom James Frederick Rodgers, Jimmie Rodgers naît le 18 septembre 1933 à Camas dans l’état de Washington. Il ne présente aucun lien de parenté avec l’autre Jimmie Rodgers, chanteur de country, disparu l'année de sa naissance. Il apprend la musique dès l’âge de cinq ans grâce à sa mère, professeur de piano, avant de se mettre à la guitare. Jeune adulte, hésitant à se consacrer totalement à une carrière musicale, il prend la voie militaire et s’engage dans l’US Air Force durant la Guerre de Corée. Finalement stationné à Nashville entre 1954 et 1956, il découvre le riche patrimoine musical de la ville et notamment la chanson qui allait devenir l’un de ses principaux hits : « Honeycomb ». Il enregistre sa version du tube de Georgie Shaw en 1957 et connaît un succès retentissant en s’installant pour un mois en tête des charts. Il publie alors l’album Jimmie Rodgers et plusieurs autres succès suivent, comme « Kisses Sweeter Than Wine » (n° 7 du Billboard) la même année, « Oh-Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again » (n° 7), « Secretly » (n° 3), et « Are You Really Mine? » (n° 10), « Bimbombey » (n° 11) en 1958 ou encore « Ring-a-ling-a-lario » (n° 32) et « Tucumcari » (n° 32) en 1959.

The youthful old jazz master has a new dream team: clear, with buckets of soul and unconfined joy, solidly grounded in the groove, this trio has a way of going straight to the heart of the matter.

"Rain Fall Down" is a song from The Rolling Stones' 2005 album A Bigger Bang. It was released on 5 December 2005 as the second single from the album, reaching #33 in the UK. The single also reached #21 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart on February 2006…

The follow-up to the pioneering Australian art pop duo's 2012 comeback LP Anastasis, Dionysus dispenses with the more song-oriented approach of its predecessor in favor of an atmosphere-driven bacchanalian oratorio inspired by the Greek god of wine and ecstasy. Split into two tracks with a sum of seven movements, Dionysus unfurls like a guided ayahuasca trip; a curl of aromatic smoke that develops into a roaring, pre-Byzantine bonfire replete with primeval chants and ancient rites. Opener "Sea Borne" tracks the outsider God's arrival via a slow build of tribal beats and a sinewy, unfolding melody that suggests "Misirlou" by way of "Kashmir" – the album continues to eschew the European folk proclivities of the duo's early work in favor a more Mediterranean and North African aesthetic.

John Hiatt naît en 1952 à Indianapolis. Très vite, il doit faire face à des événements tragiques : son frère se suicide à 21 ans et son père décède d’une maladie deux années après.

Auteur, compositeur, guitariste, interprète et acteur, Kris Kristofferson a marqué la country de son empreinte indélébile en lui fournissant quelques uns de ses plus grands succès, « Me and Bobby McGee » ou « Help Me Make It Through the Night », et de ses plus beaux albums, notamment Kristofferson (1970).

World CD premiere of striking electronic-led score by Gil Melle for Robert Wise sci-fi classic, based on Michael Crichton novel, starring Arthur Hill, James Olson. Melle writes complex ideas that incorporate incredible array of synthesized effects, then melds them with real acoustic colors for fascinating high-tech music: clinical, chilling, suspenseful! Brief running time results from original Kapp label LP release in 1971 having limited playing surfaces due to hexagonal shape of vinyl. (Not duplicated here!) Intrada CD presented from original stereo LP masters vaulted by Universal Music Group. Crisp, state-of-the-art (in 1971) stereo imagery a result! Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1500 copies!

Exactly ten years after Dire Straits' first compilation, Money for Nothing, appeared in the stores, their second, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, was released. A decade is a significant span of time, and the average band would have produced enough material for an entirely different collection, one that shared no similarities with its predecessor. Dire Straits is not the average band, however, and during those ten years, they released exactly two albums – 1991's On Every Street, their first studio album since Brothers in Arms in 1985, and 1993's On the Night, a live album culled from tapes of the record's supporting tour. Not quite enough new material for a new greatest-hits album, but it had been years since Dire Straits had released an album of any sort (a compilation of BBC sessions snuck into the stores in 1995) – hence the birth of Sultans of Swing.

Throughout a professional career lasting 50 years, Miles Davis played the trumpet in a lyrical, introspective, and melodic style, often employing a stemless Harmon mute to make his sound more personal and intimate. But if his approach to his instrument was constant, his approach to jazz was dazzlingly protean. To examine his career is to examine the history of jazz from the mid-'40s to the early '90s, since he was in the thick of almost every important innovation and stylistic development in the music during that period, and he often led the way in those changes, both with his own performances and recordings and by choosing sidemen and collaborators who forged new directions. It can even be argued that jazz stopped evolving when Davis wasn't there to push it forward.
