New Album Releases, Week of 3-14-2006
Must be nice being Donald Fagen, who can apparently make a living on writing A song every couple of years or so. Morph the Cat gives him eight songs to show for for his first album since 1993, which would appear to average composing 8/13ths of a song per year. Or maybe my Kentuckian math is screwy.
Still though, he was half of Steely Dan. That's a heller anchor for your resume right there. Plus, I'm curious what kind of song he'd write about a conversation with the ghost of Ray Charles. Enquiring minds want to know. Early word is good.
Chrissie Hynde was THE rock and roll wet dream girl for a teenage boy of my vintage. What I'm trying to say is that if you loved me, you'd buy me the 5 CD Pretenders Pirate Radio box. Now, I'm merely red-blooded and not insane, so even I can see that this is a disc or two more than really necessary. Still, it's Chrissie.
Etta James has a new album out on RCA, All the Way. For starters, I'd be right interested in hearing what this woman is doing with "Purple Rain" and "Holding Back the Years."
Note that the soundtrack Dave Chappelle's Block Party does NOT include Kanye West or the Fugees reunion. Those would seem to have been about the two top likely selling points for such a thing.
They put Socrates to death for corrupting the youth, but that hasn't stopped Devo from teaming up with Disney for the formation of a children's group (ages 10 to 13) Devo 2.0, with new recordings and a DVD of videos for such Devo classics as "Freedom of Choice" (my personal Devo fave) and - sex reversed for the now gender-integrated 2.0 group - "Boy U Want." I'm fearing some horrible Britney Spears thing from the cover. De-evolution indeed.
