Frigg A-Go-Go - The Penetrating Sounds Of... Great
Ok so I was a disc jockey on a college radio station 13 years ago and came up on this rock n roll band from Lafayette, Louisiana called Frigg A-Go-Go. They are a 5 piece rock and blues band from the south and you can definitely taste the creole in their cookin'. The album starts out with the cruisin groove of "I don't wanna be your man" and glides seamlessly between hot hammond organ licks, full tilt protopunk, and greasy/sleazy lounge rock. The lo-fi garage rock production treats it very well, .. |

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell Great
So in the wake of the untimely death of metal god Ronnie James Dio this past week, I have revisited the first post-ozzy Sabbath album with much enjoyment. Dio rocked so hard it's almost stupid.

I can only imagine that after it was released in 1970 the world was just a better place to be in. Here we're presented with 7 stom.. |

Gregory Isaacs - More Gregory Great
Grabbed this one also, since it's been a bit difficult to find at a reasonable price. This is the Mango Records re-release, but sounds great all the same. 10 classic tunes here from one of the smoothest vocalists in reggae. This one was released in 1981 about two years before "Night Nurse" broke, but still some really tasty trax here. He's backed by the legendary Roots Radics band, and produced by Sly and Robbie. I've had an crappy MP3 copy of it for years, finally I've got a version with good s.. |
