Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings – I Learned the Hard Way (2010)
FLAC | 256MB

Since so few acts in the new millennium attempt the old-school soul that’s the specialty of Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, it may be easy to assume that they’re heralded simply because of their rarity: although they certainly sound like plenty of acts from back then, they’re praised because nobody else sounds like them now, something that’s all well and good but doesn’t quite suggest how good the group really is. I Learned the Hard Way, their fourth album, goes a long way in illustrating that they’re very, very good, holding their own with all the ‘60s Southern and Northern soul they hold so dear. In fact, the striking thing about the album is that contrary to their deep soul rep, Jones & the Dap Kings spend just as much time riding smooth easy grooves as they do pouring out some sweat: despite its tough title, “I Learned the Hard Way” breezes with the cool assurance of Curtis Mayfield’s Windy City and the instrumental “The Reason” shimmers like the sound of Philadelphia circa 1969. A large part of Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings charm is that they mix up these regional styles, blending them into a ‘60s soul fantasia, but they also favor recordings that sound like the ’60s: there’s air and grit within the grooves of I Learned the Hard Way that gives it an authentic kick. Of course, all this would be surface charm if the group didn’t deliver songs, and they do — songs that swagger and stir the soul, fitting within tradition without being beholden to it, songs that prove that Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings are the real deal.

Chatham County Line - Wildwood [2010]

Chatham County Line - Wildwood [2010]

FLAC | 281MB

Chatham County Line's roots are deep in bluegrass, and that's clearly not about to change, but after ten years together, the group keeps adding different flavors into the formula with each album, and on their fifth, Wildwood, their songwriting and arrangements find them showing how far they can push the boundaries of the genre while still respecting its forms and traditions. The presence of drums on "Saturdays and Sundays" and "Out of the Running" will be enough to outrage many bluegrass purists all by itself, and the piano and pedal steel that pop up throughout the set sure won't make old-timey fans feel at home, either. And while the songwriting often follows the classic high lonesome template, the light but clear Rolling Stones influences on "Ringing in My Ears," the rock & roll stomp of "End of the Line," and the lingering dread of "Blue Jay Way" (not the Beatles tune) are a reminder that this band exists in the 21st century and aren't about to ignore their many influences outside Bill Monroe. But the superb close harmonies, Chandler Holt's banjo, Dave Wilson's guitar, John Teer's mandolin and fiddle, and Greg Readling's doghouse bass still sound as pure and invigorating as a mountain stream, and while they refuse to be restrained by their acoustic quartet format, they also know just how well it can work when the pieces fit right, and the interplay between these players is honest, intuitive, and powerful. And if "Ghost of Woody Guthrie," "Honeymoon," and the title tune sound more like tradtionalist bluegrass, they confirm that CCL can write and play intelligent and deeply personal music within that framework. Not many bands bring together bluegrass' past and present the way Chatham County Line do, and fewer still can do it this well; Wildwood shows they keep getting better as they follow new stylistic detours in their music.

Robert Randolph - Walk This Road (2010)

Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Walk This Road (2010)
FLAC | 324MB

Even though Robert Randolph & the Family Band had already become famous for blending gospel, blues, and contemporary styles on their first two albums, they decided to bring that same sort of syncretism to their source material for the third, We Walk This Road. Toward that end, they brought in producer T-Bone Burnett, a man who knows a thing or two about reconciling American roots music with the modern world. The results succeed in extending the group's scope in a way that matches its sound. Randolph, who was only allowed to listen to Christian music growing up, has stated that Burnett's deep knowledge of blues history opened up new worlds for him, and the steel guitar star has reckoned that he ended up spending thousands of dollars "catching up" and buying music from iTunes. Ultimately, though, the process isn't important -- what matters is what Burnett and the band achieved together, and We Walk This Road is a consistently surprising tour de force that moves easily through rock, blues, R&B, gospel, and more, sometimes bringing them all together at the same time. "If I Had My Way," for example, modernizes Blind Willie Johnson's gospel-blues classic with touches of rock, electric blues, and hip-hop, as Randolph trades licks with guest Ben Harper. Musical roots of a comparatively more recent vintage are tapped as well, like on the swampy, funked-up version of John Lennon's "I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier Mama," which features some guest guitar from Doyle Bramhall II, and a groove-conscious, pop-savvy take on Prince's "Walk Don't Walk." Naturally, the most striking sonic thread connecting these winding paths together is the visceral but otherworldly "sacred steel" work of Randolph himself, which remains a wonder to behold no matter the context. -- AMG

John Nemeth - Name the Day! (2010)

John Nemeth - Name the Day! (2010)
WavPack, image + .cue, log - 338MB

Despite the fast turnaround, John Nemeth's second album in two years (and third in four) is another winner for the blue-eyed soulful singer/harpist. As on his previous release, all but one of the 11 tracks is a Nemeth original and there's been no lapse in quality. That alone is impressive, especially considering his extensive touring during the year it took to return to the studio and crank out another 40 minutes of tough, committed R&B. The singer's sweetly rugged vocals remain his calling card, but Nemeth is also a harp player worthy of standing with some of modern-day blues and soul music's finest. Unlike similar soul/blues singer/harpists such as Curtis Salgado, Tad Robinson, and Darrell Nulisch who tend to reserve their harp skills in the studio for just a few songs, Nemeth plays plenty of harmonica throughout these 11 tracks, many of which are further energized by a three-piece horn section. Some of the songs, such as the straight-ahead shuffle of "Heartbreak with a Hammer" and the somewhat clichéd girl-you-been-doing-me-wrong lyrics of "You Know," aren't exactly breaking new ground either conceptually or melodically, but Nemeth is such a dynamic presence that he makes them sound invigorated, if not necessarily innovative. Much of the set is upbeat, but Nemeth really shines on the gospelized, Otis Redding-influenced "Why Not Me" and "I Said Too Much," two ballads that display the power and flexibility of his voice. Much of the success of the disc is due to its production by artist and co-producer (and guitarist, although he does not play here) Kid Andersen, a terrific solo artist on his own. Between them and horn arranger Mike Rinta, the sound is open and crackling, referencing classic R&B but never succumbing to anything too retro. That keeps Nemeth's approach fresh, even as he recalls great R&B singers of the past such as Redding and Solomon Burke, both of whom have recorded this disc's only cover, Otis Blackwell's "Home in Your Heart." The sunshiny title track and the Southern funk of "Do You Really Want That Woman" are strong enough to be mistaken for classic tunes, but are newly penned by the artist. They show that Nemeth's strengths aren't confined to his vocals, harp, and production but that his songwriting talents are every bit as vital, perhaps more so. Put succinctly, in the world of contemporary soul/blues, John Nemeth is the whole package. -- AMG

Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks - Tangled Tales

Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks - Tangled Tales (2009)
FLAC (Vinyl rip) | 292MB | scans

Dan Hicks has hardly changed a thing in the four decades since the first Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks record and, in this case, that's a good thing. Why mess with perfection? In the late '60s, after exiting San Francisco's infamous psychedelic folk-rock pioneers the Charlatans, Hicks took bits from Western swing and the regular kind, jug band music, traditional folk, bluegrass, cowboy tunes, Gypsy jazz, and even a bit of bossa nova, added female call-and-response vocals and a healthy dose of droll sarcasm and hipster humor, put it all together in impeccably written tunes and virtuosic playing, and somehow sold this unlikely package to audiences that otherwise preferred rock & roll. He's dropped the Hot Licks at times to perform solo and in other configurations, then after the turn of the century decided to return to that formula with an all new Hot Licks. The latest result is Tangled Tales, an album that could easily have been released alongside those early gems like Where's the Money? and Original Recordings instead of in 2009. Hicks' distinctly original vocal style is absolutely unchanged from back in the day, and the arrangements of the chosen tunes are in line with what he's always done. Five of these songs appeared in different versions on his 1994 album Shootin' Straight with his short-lived group the Acoustic Warriors, but here they are recast as classic Hot Licks numbers. In addition to the original Hicks compositions, the album offers a handful of intriguing covers, including a spirited take on Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and Hicks' interpretation of Horace Silver's "Song for My Father," with lyrics added to the instrumental melody by singer Leon Thomas in the '70s. For the occasion, Hicks invited several diverse guest artists to augment the current band, among them mandolinist David Grisman, harmonica ace Charlie Musselwhite, violinist Richard Greene, and blues guitarist Roy Rogers. That they all blend seamlessly into the Hicks template is a tribute to Hicks' impact in a genre that is truly his and his alone.

Thrillington is a 1977 album by Paul McCartney, under the pseudonym of Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. The album is an instrumental cover version of Paul and Linda McCartney's 1971 album, Ram. Arranger Richard Hewson was asked to arrange the orchestration before Ram had yet been released and it was recorded in June 1971—with McCartney as producer—and with an intended release shortly thereafter. Paul and wife Linda's decision to form Wings resulted in the album being shelved until 1977.

Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963 is a live album by soul singer Sam Cooke. Bruce Eder of Allmusic writes "it's one of the greatest soul records ever cut by anybody, outshining James Brown's first live album from the Apollo Theater and easily outclassing Jackie Wilson's live record from the Copa." In 2003, the album was ranked number 443 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Initially recorded to be released as a live album entitled One Night Stand, the concert was not released until 1985. It has since been released in two alternate mixes. In 2000, the album was included as the second half of disc four in the box set The Man Who Invented Soul.

Tracks:

1. "Soul Twist/Introduction" (Curtis Ousley) – 1:23
2. "Feel It (Don't Fight It)" (Wilson Pickett) – 2:54
3. "Chain Gang" (Cooke) – 3:11
4. "Cupid" (Cooke) – 2:44

Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South

Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South (1970)
WavPack + cue + log | 210 MB | 30:38 min | Scans Included

Idlewild South is the second album of The Allman Brothers Band, released in 1970. The best studio album in the group's history, electric blues with an acoustic texture, virtuoso lead, slide, and organ playing, and a killer selection of songs, including "Midnight Rider," "Revival," "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" in its embryonic studio version, which is pretty impressive even at a mere six minutes and change. They also do the best white cover of Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man" anyone's ever likely to hear.

1. "Revival" (Dickey Betts) – 4:05
2. "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" (Gregg Allman) – 3:31
3. "Midnight Rider" (Gregg Allman) – 2:59
4. "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" (Dickey Betts) – 6:56

The Lazy Cowgirls - Ragged Soul

2009-03-31T23:19:00.001+03:00

The Lazy Cowgirls - Ragged Soul

Ragged Soul was the first album in five years from the Lazy Cowgirls, and from the first blast of D.D. Weekday's guitar on "I Can't Be Satisfied" it's obvious that this band was ready to make up for lost time. Against all odds, Ragged Soul sounds like the band's best album ever; the twin-guitar punch of Weekday and Michael Leigh offers plenty of kick with no clutter, the rhythm section (Leonard Keringer on bass and Ed Huerta on drums) drives the songs forward without crowding anyone in the process, and Pat Todd proves he's one of the greatest unsung frontmen in rock, pouring out fire and passion on every cut. The material is top shelf, too, especially the bitterly anthemic "Frustration, Tragedy and Lies" and "Bought Your Lies." Tough, furious, loud and proud -- Ragged Soul is roots-smart old-school punk at its finest.

12 Step Rebels - Go Go Graveyard Rockin'

12 Step Rebels - Go Go Graveyard Rockin'
FLAC+CUE+LOG+Covers or mp3 CBR 320 | 38:54 min | 299 or 88 MB
2004, Dead Body Wreckerds # 00001

12 Step Rebels graduated from the same school of psychobilly as fellow American wreckers Tiger Army and The Quakes. With "Go Go Graveyard Rockin’" the 12 Step Rebels have been let loose on the psychobilly world, and are out to prove that you don't have to be from Europe to rock the upright bass. Blasting out a fury of punk and rockabilly, the band tears through each track with ferocious adrenaline that never crosses over to the hardcore side of things. Drawing upon influences from all forms of Americana music and blended with a dark, ominous style, 12 Step Rebels create an identifiable and powerful sound ranging from the dreary, melodic Ballad of Frankenstein's Monster to the 50's-style boogie Graveyard Rockin' or the punk-influenced anthem Rebel Rock.

Tracklist:

01. Hunt Of The Unnamed
02. Rebel Rock
03. Skinwalkers
04. Sometimes They Roam
05. The Ballad Of Frankenstein's Monster
06. Graveyard Rockin'
07. Banshee's Wail
08. 2000 Years
09. The Hair Song
10. Creatures Of The Night
11. On Cobblestones
12. Curse Of The Pentagram

Produced by Geoff Kresge. Engineered by Gil Sanchez
Mixed by Geoff Kresge, Nate Hancock and Paul Miner
Recorded at Old Mexico Studios, Albuquerque, New Mexico

The threesome - namely the Madagascan valiha star Rajery, the Malian kora-player Ballaké Sissoko and the Moroccan oud maestro Driss El Maloumi - all put in virtuoso performances on their respective instruments, engaging in an intercultural dialogue where words are replaced by notes.

The Jayhawks – Hollywood Town Hall

The Jayhawks – Hollywood Town Hall (1993)(Def American)

1993 | Genre: Rock | EAC RIP | FLAC+CUE+LOG+HQ-Covers(300Dpi) | 354Mb

The Jayhawks' breakthrough album is a roots rock classic. "Like folk music, but really loud," is how guitarist Gary Louris liked to describe the Jayhawks, but the reality is more complex--try the country-rock sound of the Flying Burrito Brothers, Neil Young, or the Band married to white-boy soul, bar band rawness, and a slight alternative edge. Hollywood Town Hall is a masterpiece of American songwriting, blending irresistible melodies, ringing guitars, and Louris and Olson's gorgeous harmonies with moody, imagery-rich lyrics. Best cuts: "Waiting for the Sun," "Take Me with You (When You Go)."

Personnel:

Mark Olson – Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Harmonica
Gary Louris – Vocals, Electric Guitar, Fuzz Guitar
Marc Perlman - Bass
Ken Callahan – Drums

Additional Players: Benmont Tench, Nicky Hopkins, Charlie Drayton

Tracklist:

01. Waiting For The Sun
02. Crowded In The Wings

The Who - Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy

2009-03-15T11:06:00.001+02:00

Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy is a compilation album by British rock band The Who. It is one of the first in a long line of Who greatest hits albums and is usually regarded as the best of them.[citation needed] The album mostly consists of singles that did not appear on The Who's LPs, which is why the album sold so well at the time.

Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy (Decca DL 79184) entered the U.S. charts on November 20, 1971 and peaked at number 11 on the U.S. charts. The UK release was held up because The Who and Bill Curbishley had failed to clear it with manager Kit Lambert. Lambert tried to have the track order changed but failed because too many copies had been pressed. The LP was eventually released as Track 2406 006 and first entered the UK charts on December 3, 1971, peaking at number 9. In 1987, Rolling Stone ranked it #99 on their list of the 100 best albums of the period 1967-1987.

Track listing:

1. "I Can't Explain" – 2:05
2. "The Kids Are Alright" – 2:45

Lou Reed - Magic And Loss

2009-03-05T21:15:00.003+02:00

Lou Reed - Magic And Loss (1992)

Rock | Flac+CUE+EAC/log -> 320 MB | Covers | 3% rec. | RS

This is an album about death – and how to live with it. It is an eyewitness account, documented in compelling song, of a losing battle with cancer, the mourning after and the little miracles that, for the mourner, mark the beginning of the healing process. It will probably bum you out the first couple of times through.
But it's worth your perseverance, because Magic and Loss is Lou Reed's most affecting, emotionally direct solo work since The Blue Mask, a stunning consummation of that album's naked guitar clamor, the hushed-chapel intimacy of the third Velvet Underground album and the barbed reportorial vitality of Reed's best songwriting. He offers no great moral revelations and no happy ever after, just big questions and some basic horse sense. "There's a bit of magic in everything," he sings at the very end of the record, "and then some loss to even things out."(Rolling Stones)

Laika & The Cosmonauts - Instruments Of Terror

2009-03-04T13:39:00.005+02:00

Laika & The Cosmonauts - Instruments Of Terror (1994)

Surf-Rock | FLAC | 267MB

Laika & The Cosmonauts are Finland's number one instrumental combo and with surf music legends like Dick Dale and Teisco Del Rey singing their praises, they are an outfit well worth checking out. While it seems these days that any retro-instrumental combo that turns the reverb control on their amps up past two gets lumped in a clump as a 'surf group, ' one listen to Instruments of Terror will make you realize that Laika and the boys have tapped in to that decidedly European-Spaghetti Western side of the equation. Their adaptions of TV and movie themes ("Mission Impossible," Henry Mancini's "Experiment in Terror," Bernard Herrman's theme from "Vertigo" and "Psycho" done here as a medley) are quirky, unique and delivered with style, while material like "Magic Bullet" or "Enchanted Rock" are nothing short of trance inducing.

1. Mission Impossible (Lalo Schifrin)

2. Note Crisis

3. Piedras Negras

4. Psyko (Themes from Psycho and Vertigo)

5. Magic Bullet

6. Enchanted Rock

7. Baha-Ree-Bah

8. S.P.Y.D.A.'s Web

9. Space Case

The Breeders - Pod (1990)

Alternative Rock, Indie Rock | FLAC | 173MB | 29:20 min. | 3% recovery inf.

One of alternative rock's most promising -- and frustrating -- bands, the Breeders were conceived initially as a way for Pixies bassist Kim Deal and Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donelly to let out some suppressed creative energy and to take a break from being the second bananas in each of their main bands.
Producer Steve Albini has stated that it is the one album on which he felt he got both the best sound for a band, and the best performance from a band. It has been credited by Nirvana's Kurt Cobain as being one of the most influential albums of his life. According to Cobain, "it’s an epic that will never let you forget your ex-girlfriend.

All tracks were written by Kim Deal, except where noted.

"Glorious" (Deal, Halliday) – 3:23
"Doe" (Deal, Halliday) – 2:06
"Happiness Is a Warm Gun" (Lennon/McCartney) – 2:46
"Oh!" – 2:27

The Birthday Party - Prayers on Fire (1981)
Post-Punk | Separate FLAC - 259MB | 3% recovery inf.

Nick Cave is widely acknowledged as one of our most mature songwriting talents these days, but there was a time when heseemed to be the most unhinged soul in Christendom. The Birthday Party's performances, whether in the studio or on stage, were always compelling, and they left behind no more powerful document than this shattering record. PRAYERS ON FIRE, an intense, disquieting effort, was their first international release after relocating to London from Australia. While the violence of the group's urban rockabilly rumbles underneath, often to no obvious linear structure, Cave's lyrics are informed, acute, but utterly unyielding and savage. Check the no-compromise ferocity of "Nick The Stripper" and "King Ink", still among his best songs.

FLAC & mp3 (320k/s) | 257 & 97 MB | scans | JMT | 42:00
Jazz vocal

The formative years of singer Cassandra Wilson's career found her associated with the M-Base Collective school of eccentric funk. On this set of advanced originals (which also has versions of "Let's Face the Music" and "Some Other Time"), Wilson is the lead voice in dense ensembles that include (on various cuts) cornetist Olu Dara, guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly, trumpeter Graham Haynes, and altoist Steve Coleman, along with a very active rhythm section. "Some Other Time" is a change of pace, a duet with pianist Rod Williams, but otherwise this is advanced free funk dance music. - by Scott Yanow, AMG

The Birthday Party were one of the darkest and most challenging post-punk groups to emerge in the early '80s, creating bleak and noisy soundscapes that provided the perfect setting for vocalist Nick Cave's difficult, disturbing stories of religion, violence, and perversity.
There are 13 tracks on the CD. Five songs have been taken from the original 1979 Hee haw EP, five songs from the bands first two 7" EP's and the final three songs from the bands Australian LP aptly named 'The Birthday Party'.

Deep Purple - Deep Purple in Rock

2009-01-02T00:48:00.002+02:00

Deep Purple - Deep Purple in Rock - 25th Anniversary Edition
[remastered] (1970 / 1995)
Hard Rock | 1 CD | FLAC | CUE | 499 MB | Covers
Year of Release 1970/1995 | RapidShare.com

Deep Purple in Rock (also known as In Rock) is an album by English rock band Deep Purple, released in June 1970. It was their fourth studio album, and the first with the classic Mk II lineup. Deep Purple in Rock was their breakthrough album in Europe and would peak at #4 in the UK, remaining in the charts for months.

Deep Purple's earlier work ranged from psychedelic hard rock to orchestra-driven tracks and covers that ranged from The Beatles to Neil Diamond, among others, but on this record all tracks are credited to the five members of the band. "Speed King" and "Flight of the Rat" are hard rock songs, and the 10-minute epic "Child in Time", perhaps the most famous song from this record, would be a concert staple for years to come.

Although "Into the Fire" and "Speed King" were featured on the set lists at the time, "Child in Time" was the only song from this album that was included on Made in Japan two years later (although "Speed King" was the usual encore and is featured on the expanded CD re-issue, as is "Black Night" which was included in the Deep Purple in Rock re-issue).

The cover depicts the band in a rock sculpture inspired by Mount Rushmore.

In 2000 Q magazine placed the album at number 78 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.

Jon Lord used both the Leslie speaker, and a Marshall amplifier with his Hammond organ, therefore the organ sound varies a lot throughout the songs. (Example: "Living Wreck" - Leslie speaker, "Hard Lovin' Man" - Marshall amplifier).

Ritchie Blackmore used a Gibson guitar on "Child in Time", not his usual Fender Stratocaster. This album is his favorite, along with Machine Head.

In some countries including Mexico, Deep Purple in Rock also included "Black Night", a single recorded during the sessions.

The US release of the album cut the intro to Speed King, lasting just over a minute. It remains edited on the standard Warner Bros. US release, but is restored to full length on the 25th anniversary package.

"Speed King" is not a cover, however many of its lyrics are borrowed from popular oldies, including "Good Golly Miss Molly", "Tutti Frutti", and "The Battle of New Orleans".

Tracklist:

All songs written by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice.

"Speed King" – 5:49
"Bloodsucker" – 4:10
"Child in Time" – 10:14

Etta James - 12 Songs of Christmas (1998)

Etta James - 12 Songs of Christmas (1998)
FLAC & mp3 (320k/s) | 389 & 147 MB | scans | Private Music
Genre: jazz, blues | Tital time: 63:25

It's a little surprising to realize that after decades of recording, Etta James finally released her first holiday album, 12 Songs of Christmas, at the late date of 1998. Thankfully, she decided to make the record something of a special occasion. Working with arrangers Etta and Cedar Walton, producer John Snyder and a terrific lineup of musicians -- including Red Holloway, John Clayton, Billy Higgins, Cedar Walton, Josh Sklair and her son, Sametto -- James has created a terrific Christmas record, one that is firmly in her style yet contains surprises. First of all, she sings "O Holy Night" in both English and French. She also reworks "Silent Night" into a plaintive, bluesy plea. Each song on the album doesn't sound like a traditional carol, even if they're very familiar -- it all sounds like James, and it all sounds good. James fans may not feel like they need a Christmas album from her, but after hearing 12 Songs of Christmas, they'll be quite pleased indeed. - by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG

The Chemical Brothers - Brotherhood

2008-12-21T19:08:00.002+02:00

The Chemical Brothers - Brotherhood - 2CD - 2008
Electronic, Big Beat | FLAC/CUE/LOG/COVER/GAIN -8 | EAC/CD | 950 MB | 3% RAR

The Chemical Brothers are the English Grammy Award winning electronic music duo Tom
Rowlands and Ed Simons (occasionally referred to as Chemical Tom and Chemical Ed).
Initially they called themselves "The Dust Brothers", after the noted United States
production duo of the same name, but the threat of legal action from the originals
led them to change their name in 1995. Along with The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and The
Crystal Method, as well as other acts they were pioneers of the big beat electronic
dance genre which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s, and are known for
high-quality live sets.

Brotherhood is the newest compilation double album by The Chemical Brothers,
released on September 2, 2008 (2008-09-02). It is a second compilation spanning
the band's greatest hits, after 2003 Singles 93-03. The first record features
thirteen hit singles and one new track "Keep My Composure" (with a guest appearance
of the rap group Spank Rock)—while the second CD contains all ten parts of Chemical
Brothers' "Electronic Battle Weapon" series of special mixes, which the duo recorded
apart the regular singles and albums since 1996.

Review, by William Ruhlmann, Allmusic:

Long before he sold substantial numbers of records, Bruce Springsteen began to earn a reputation as the best live act in rock & roll. Fans had been clamoring for a live album for a long time, and with Live/1975-85 they got what they wanted, at least in terms of bulk. His concerts were marathons, and this box set, including 40 tracks and running over three and a half hours, was about the average length of a show. In his brief liner notes, Springsteen spoke of the emergence of the album's "story" as he reviewed live tapes, and that story seems nothing less than a history of his life, his concerns, and his career. The first cuts present the Springsteen of the early to mid-'70s; these performances, most of them drawn from a July 1978 show at the Roxy in Los Angeles, present the romantic, hopeful, earnest Springsteen. The second section begins with his first Top Ten hit, "Hungry Heart" — this is the Springsteen of the late '70s and early '80s, an arena rock star with working-class concerns. After an acoustic mini set given largely to material from Nebraska — songs of economic desperation and crime — comes a reshuffling of Born in the U.S.A., songs in which the artist and his characters start to fight back and rock out. Finally, he brings it all back home to New Jersey, starting with the unofficial state anthem, "Born to Run." Fans could rejoice in the seven previously unreleased songs, but Live/1975-85 wasn't as funny, moving, or exhilarating as a Springsteen show could be. Maybe no single album could have been, but where Springsteen impressed in concert because he tried so hard, here he seemed to have tried a little too hard to make a live album carry the freight of everything he had to say.
