 | She Ain't Me [Read More ...]
Description: Carrie's sophomore release, She Ain't Me, still showcases her intimate croon, but this classically trained singer/songwriter has just begun flexing her artistic muscles. She Ain't Me is an expectation-confounding statement from Carrie, who notes, "Because I took some chances, wro... |
 | Cold Fact [Read More ...]
Description: It s one of the lost classics of the 60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane . The album is Cold Fact, and what s more intriguing is that its maker a shadowy figure known as R... |
![]() | Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus [Read More ...]
Description: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus is one of four solo albums completed in 2001 by OMAR RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, upon disbanding AT THE DRIVE IN. Simultaneous to launching the massive undertaking that would become THE MARS VOLTA, Rodriguez Lopez (as well as his usual cast of co-conspira... |
 | Seven Angels on a Bicycle [Read More ...]
Description: Although this is officially singer/fiddler Carrie Rodriguez's solo debut, her musical mentor Chip Taylor--with whom she has recorded three previous discs of duets--is an integral ingredient. Taylor wrote or co-wrote all but one track and is also the album's producer. With Seven A... |
 | Apocalypse Inside of an Orange [Read More ...]
Description: As the name on the album implies, the tracks included are performed by the OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ QUINTET (as opposed to the ORL Group), the band that toured Europe in late 2005, which includes bassist JUAN ALDRETE DE LA PENA, keyboardist MONEY MARK RAMOS-NISHITA, horn player/percu... |
 | The Trouble With Humans [Read More ...]
Description: Like the relationship between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in Sofia Coppola’s film, Lost In Translation, the intergenerational bonding of Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez works in a way that eludes easy analysis. The elder former hit song writer ("Wild Thing," "Angel Of ... |
 | Red Dog Tracks [Read More ...]
Description: Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez are joined by guitar legend Bill Frisell on the new Red Dog Tracks, released May 24 by Back Porch Records. The duo's widely heralded 2003 album, Trouble With Humans, found "stunning fiddler turned twangy chanteuse" Rodriguez and Taylor, a writer o... |
 | Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Jeremy Michael Ward [Read More ...]
Description: The self-titled collaborative album between Omar Rordriguez Lopez (of The Mars Volta) and his late band mate, Jeremy Michael Ward, will come as something of a departure for fans of Rodriguez Lopez's vast catalog of rock-oriented albums. Originally recorded in 2001, after the diss... |
 | Omar Rodriguez & Lydia Lunch [Read More ...]
Description: 2007 release, the Mars Volta guitarist's second solo album. It was written and recorded with his fellow band members in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in early June 2005. Most of the overdubs and mixing were done on the road in September 2005. Musically, it's everything and more that... |
 | The Spirit of America [Read More ...]
Description: It's said politics makes strange bedfellows. But it's got nothing on the peculiar marriage of art and history inspired by the tragic events of 9/11/01. Before that day, Daniel Rodriguez was a member of New York's finest, working as an NYPD security officer at the Manhattan South ... |
 | From My Heart [Read More ...]
Description: The tragic events of 9/11 produced their share of unexpected heroes, few more unlikely than Daniel Rodriguez, the NYPD's "singing cop." The Puerto Rican-American tenor's by now familiar rendition of "God Bless America" won over the hearts of his city, then nation--but took shots ... |
 | Inolvidable, Vol. 1 [Read More ...]
Review: El Puma con Los Panchos!:What a combination! I had to buy this CD again as mine was stolen along with my stereo a couple of months ago. Even though these songs already had a few years running when I was born in 1967, this collection is wonderful today. It makes great company w... |
 | Calibration (is Pushing Luck and Key Too Far) [Read More ...]
Review: Copy Protection = Rejection:I rated the album as the mean of the current reviews when I posted this.
I'm not sure those reviews are real or not, because all 4 exact duplicates are posted on a different CD site. What kind of reviewer looks for every site to post their review on? ... |

 | A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack, Vol. 1 [Read More ...]
Review: Unique approach yields mere sketches:This was one of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's first solo session discs, and a hint of the massive output that was to come from the Mars Volta guitarist under his own name. Even though it is riddled with overindulgences, there is ample proof as to why... |
 | The Best of Jose Luis Rodríguez: Ultimate Collection [Read More ...]
Great CD:Bought it a while ago but forgot to put up a review, this album is awesome. So hard to find it at HMV. Jose is a good singer, really missed this guy. |
 | Let's Leave This Town [Read More ...]
Description: Chip Taylor, the writer of "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning," abandoned his musical career in the '80s to take up professional gambling. Returning in the '90s, he has taken a stripped-down, rootsy approach across a series of sharp releases. This largely acoustic outing of d... |
 | Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo [Read More ...]
Review: This isnt a vent fest for the mars volta:I don't recall the cd saying "the Mars Volta" on it.
But if it did please tell me because this does not sound anything like the mars volta to me.
I must've been fooled!
This album is by far my favorite Omar solo album. It has this very la... |
 | Latin Roots [Read More ...]
Review: Inolvidable / Unforgettable Tito Rodriquez Deserves Better:Tito Rodriquez was a great musician, but this particular CD isn't a good choice because the sound seems muddy or fuzzy. At one point, the sound actually seems to receed in the middle of a song, and later it comes back to ... |
