Robert Cray - Definitive Collection [Remastered] (2009)
Robert Cray's musical strengths, which include an economic, elegant and melodic guitar approach and a soulful and unthreatening vocal style, have led many blues purists to question his authenticity in the genre, but to his credit, Cray has ignored all that and fashioned an approachable legacy that treats the blues as a vital ingredient in a kind of soul/blues mix that looks forward as much as it enfolds the past. This is an artist, remember, who managed to get the blues, even if it was somewhat sanitized, into regular rotation on MTV in the 1980s, and if he seems more jazz than Delta in his guitar playing, well, there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

Rolling Stones - Tattoo you [Remastered] (1981)
Tattoo You is another undisputed classic and rightly topped the US charts for nine weeks on its original release in 1981. Its opening track and first single, Start Me Up, remains one of the band's best loved songs and a mainstay of their live set. The cleverly sequenced Tattoo You comprises six rock tracks, including the US Top 20 hit Hang Fire, the fast blues of Black Limousine, Richards' lead vocal on Little T & A, and the sneering Neighbours, but the five ballads which follow - and formed the second side of the original vinyl - really lift it into another league. The sweet soul of Worried About You, Tops and the sublime Waiting On A Friend, featuring jazz great Sonny Rollins on saxophone, in particular show what a fine singer Jagger is. Corriston's cover design won a Grammy Award for best album package.

Warumpi Band - Too Much Humbug (1996) [re-up]
It is hard to say that any music could ever really evoke the spirit of Central Australia, but Warumpi Band comes about as close as you can get; a great mixture of country, hard guitar Aussie pub-rock, the right amount of traditional (easily overdone in pop), English and local languages and that cool laid-back groove that seems to somehow find it's way into so much tropical music. The Warumpi band disabanded in 1995 but has set a landmark with this third and final release.

Tinariwen - Amassakoul (2004)
A little geography and sociology first....Tinariwen is a Tuareg/Berber musical group from Mali, North Africa. You know, Sahara Desert, camels, henna tattoos, and all that. They formed in 1982, and their name means "empty places" in their native tongue. They did a lot of low-tech recording for nearly 20 years; mainly rebel music supporting Tuareg independence from the government of Mali. In 2000 they were "discovered" by the West; they have since played in France, England, and the USA, and have sparked a lot of interest, wherever they play.
Amassakoul ("Traveller"), their second album, is a unique and wonderful fusion CD. Tinariwen has masterfully incorporated 1950's - 1960's era American blues/rock electric guitar with their already formidable Tuareg vocals and percussion. Listening to these tracks, I got the feeling that Bo Diddley, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, and maybe even Jimi Hendrix all took to the Sahara by caravan, and started jamming with their Tuareg hosts. The result is hypnotic, funky, and exhilarating.

Yothu Yindi - Tribal Voice (1992)
Yothu Yindi cannot be put into the watered-down, new-age inspired "world music" category despite the aboriginal background of most band members. There are no synthesizers backing up a few notes on some "indigenous" instruments here; "Tribal Voice" is not easy listening. Instead, it's hard-hitting, full-throttle rock, with a powerful merger of aboriginal (esp. the didgeridoo) and more conventional instruments. The result is some really fresh and unique music that can't quite be compared to anything else - not even fellow Aussie rockers Midnight Oil, even though their political stance is quite similar. Yothu Yindi has done a great job of skillfully melding traditional aboriginal sounds with rock and a relevant message.

Ali Farka Touré - Savane (2006)
Savane, the great African guitarist and bluesman Ali Farka Touré's final solo studio album, was recorded in his native Mali toward the end of his life, when the artist knew his days were numbered. He spent his last years in his home village of Niafunké, concentrating on farming and family matters, jamming with local musicians of an evening. This impassioned, roots-drenched, mostly acoustic valedictory finds the Maestro's stalking rhythms and high-noon-at-the-crossroads, dusty desert-to-delta vocals in no less than life-summing form. Pee Wee Ellis (sax) and Little George Sueref (harmonica) each manage to make strong impressions while adhering to the groove at hand. Afel Boucoum, a talented younger musician who has been mentioned as Touré's most likely successor (as if such a thing were possible!), graces "Njarou," the last tune. The other players are also at the top of their game, as fluttering ngoni (a West African spike lute) riffs weave in and out and airy female vocals float like a breeze off the river Niger. There are reports that Touré senior sat in on his son's upcoming album and scads of archival material will undoubtedly materialize. But his unsentimental, voluptuously masculine, spirit-guided magic is captured at its best, for all time, in this magnificent farewell.

Ali Farka Touré & Ry Cooder - Talking Timbuktu (1994)
On the surface, this is a very simple album, simple in that it is accessible, unpretentious and easy to listen to. On repeated helpings, however, Talking Tmbuktu becomes an extraordinarily beautiful ensemble of the rock-pop (Ry Cooder) and the trad and bluesy (Toure). Take Gomni, the heart rendering tune about "hard work". The rich rhythmic tapistry and haunting melody that shifts back and forth among variations with amazing fluidity touches any soul.
On the other hand, Lasidan, a song about happyness is groovy and multi-layered. Blues aficiandos attempt to catalogue Toure as the "West African John Lee Hooker" due to the similarity in the low-pitched vocals and mid-tempo, foot-stomping rhythms found in so many of his songs (like Ai Du). But I found his music richer; technically its combo of instruments ranging from the emblematic accoustic guitar to the calabash drums to the najarka lute create an inimitable style. Culturally Toure's songs draw from several sources. This is universal music, capable of reaching any heart despite the obvious language barrier.
For a mere mortal like me who picked this album on word of mouth, it also opened a whole new doors into music from Mali.

Cheb Mami - Let Me Raï (1991)
When you are, like me, able to step outside your comfort zone inside your musicical world and want to have a uplifting taste of the north african rai music, this album is a classic. I have been playing this album, since it's release, in the company of rockers, jazz purists and pop fans. Everybody digs Cheb Mami. The sheer power of the voice of Mami, together with it's contemporary sounds, still after all these years, makes this album a truly classic arab album. Open your mind. Check.

Ali Farka Touré - Niafunke (1999)
The most important thing to understand about this recording is the genuineness of Toure's claim to be be playing Malian music first, and American blues second. Toure is not the Malian John Lee Hooker. He plays the music of his land, with it's time, steps, paces, thoughts and wishes. It is trite and simple to say that Blues comes from Africans therefore . . . Toure is a deceptively simple introduction to African music. If you allow yourself to be lulled, fooled into thinking you have heard this before and it fits into your pre-built structure of music, you are missing some, maybe not most, of the spirit of this album. It rewards opening out. One day every listener, true listener, will allow themselves to hear the foreigness of this amazing album, and the rewards will have just begun.

Don Henley - The Very Best Of Don Henley [Remastered] (2009)
"Don's albums were like State of the Union addresses delivered with the perception and sharpness he had honed in theEagles during the 1970s. He could be relied on to comment on what was going wrong in his country in ways that wereentertaining as well as thought-provoking."
Out of all of the Eagles, Don Henley had the most successful solo career. 1984's Building The Perfect Beast sold over two million copies and stayed on the charts for over a year and 1989's The End Of The Innocence sold over three million copies and stayed on the charts for nearly three years. The Very Best Of Don Henley is the first career-spanning collection of all his classic hits, covering his tenures at Elektra, Geffen and Warner Bros Records.

Kate Bush - Aerial (2005) (re-up)
'Aerial' creates one long sustained feeling of deep, loving warmth. Just put it on & let it envelope you in sonic "honey". Stop looking for the past.

Tim Hardin - Person To Person- The Essential, Classic Hardin (2000)
This album is a beautiful introduction to an amazing singer/songwriter.
As a single-disc overview of Tim Hardin's career, it would be difficult to improve on this 27-song, 78-minute compilation from Australia, which draws from his entire output including his Verve, Columbia, and Atlantic catalogs and encompasses the definitive versions of such songs as Hang on to a Dream, The Lady Came From Baltimore, If I Were a Carpenter, Reason to Believe, Don't Make Promises, Red Balloon,and every other one of his songs that was ever turned into a hit by someone else. The mastering is impeccable, with rich, finely detailed sound throughout. Anyone wanting an introduction to Hardin's entire career and his evolution as a songwriter and artist couldn't start from a better place than this.

The Fatales - Great Surround (2009)
Great Surround, the first full length effort from New York City doom, gloom and glitch group The Fatales, is now out and available thanks to carriage from the folks over at Monopsone. It's completely dark and atmospheric dream pop that makes reference points to Interpol way too easy for us. But the separation points are there too, especially in The Fatales' choice of accompaniment instrumentally. Namely, strings. The kids are super talented and we can't think of much else to say that their disc won't be able to on its own. "Islands Of Fortune", our favorite of the lot, is soaring, shimmering and goddamn beautiful.

Talk Talk - Colour of Spring (1986) [re-up]
This album was so unexpectedly ahead of its time in 1986 people are still catching up to it almost 25 years later on. One of life's great mysterys - how can an album as good as this be largely unknown outside the legion of wide-eyed Talk Talk acolytes? Even if difficult art-pop isn't your 'thing', this is loaded with seductive tunes and a bright eyed beauty you will find almost nowhere else. Look beneath the shiny surface and you find a lyrical depth and exquisite detailed production to die for. Endlessly fascinating and wonderfully soothing.

Brendan Croker - The Great Indoors (1992) [Re-up]
After deleting the whole archive by accident in June of 2008 (700 posts), this is the 800th post on TMI 2.0 since then. (Come on people, keep walking) Dead links in comments please.
Between his first album for Silvertone Records in 1989, (Brendan Croker & the 5 O'Clock Shadows), and 1991's The Great Indoors, British-born Brendan Croker would reach his commercial peak. With the aid of such notables as Knopfler and his sometimes collaborator, guitar legend Chet Atkins, as well as Tony Joe White and the record's producer, Barry Beckett, the Nashville recorded The Great Indoors looked to broaden Brendan Croker's audience. This time, minus the 5 O'Clock Shadows, Croker expands on the American roots mix of his previous effort with pretty much the same results both musically and in the marketplace, failing to capitalize on his newfound visibility. Croker is an engaging singer whose husky baritone is well-suited to the eclectic mix of material here, which can be moving and memorable, or just miss, bordering on being merely genre exercises.

The Scorpions - Acoustica (2001)
The CD is made up of tracks played by the band in a concert in Portugal in 2001. The result is an awesome listening experience as the band does a good job of keeping the crowd energized throughout the entire performance. Some tracks do not come across as effectively as they do in their original recordings, but some come off exceptionally.
The band also does a good job on the some of the covers they perform here such as "Drive" by The Cars and "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas.
Pick up this CD if you have additional Scorpions material in your current collection. If you are a first-time listener and are wanting to check out what the Scorpions are all about, you should check out some of their greatest hits compilations [LINK] first and then come back later to check out this great disc.

Moby - Wait For Me (2009)
Wait For Me is a radical departure from Moby’s recent albums- last year’s paean to the dance floor, Last Night, 2008’s flirtation with modern rock, Hotel, the shimmering ambience of 2002’s 18, and the zeitgeist-defining melancholy electronica of 1999’s Play. Liberated from the pressures of trying to please himself at the same time as the industry, in making Wait For Me Moby decided to forego the expensive studios, state-of-the-art equipment, big name guest artists, and phalanxes of graphic designers and image consultants that have characterized some of his previous albums. “There’s something so relaxing about doing everything yourself, and not trying to second-guess the market,” Moby says. “It’s nice to try to do things for the right reasons- just make a record because you want to make a record.”

Jimmy Cliff - The ultimate collection (1999)
It seems somewhat odd that there has never been a really good best-of compilation devoted to Jimmy Cliff, one of reggae's seminal figures and a major force in popularizing the music in America and beyond. Hip-O's Ultimate Collection is probably the best one assembled to date, collecting Cliff's legendary hits from The Harder They Come, high-quality material from his early years (including the hard-hitting protest song "Viet Nam"), and a selection of highlights from his major-label recordings over the remainder of the '70s. Some songs have never before been available on CD in the U.S., an added enticement for Cliff fans. The Harder They Come is still a tour de force, but as this collection proves, there's more to Cliff that needs to be heard.

Los Lobos - Wolf Tracks - Best of Los Lobos (2006)
This triple-Grammy winning group of consummate musicians and songwriters out of East L.A. began their career interpreting Mexican folk music and went on to be a globally renowned purvayor of a diverse and adventurous repertoire of roots-flavored masterpieces. Drawing from rock, country, blues, folk, R&B, Americana, and traditional Spanish and Latin American idioms, Los Lobos continually pushed the boundaries of their sound, while remaining magnificently gritty and graceful throughout.

Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum (2009)
2009 release, the third studio album from the English Alt-Rock outfit. For this album, the band recruited American Hip Hop and Electronica producer Dan The Automator, who is best known for his work on the first Gorillaz album. Two years in the making, the album is the sound of a band at the peak of their powers. A 52 minute mash up of sky-scraping melodies, Electro-Punk riffs, Morricone-esque symphonics, Mariachi stomps and Psych-Pop lullabies, it is both a stadium sized declaration of intent and a bar-raising benchmark for Rock music in 2009.

Cyril Neville - Brand New Blues (2009)
Fans of the various Neville Brothers incarnations will be pleased with Brand New Blues, a fantastic new release from Cyril Neville. With the help of fellow Nevilles Art, Ian, and Ivan, as well as Waylon Thibodeaux and Tab Benoit, Cyril lets fly with an accomplished batch of super-slinky blues and R&B that remains consistent with his affection for New Orleans musical traditions and his interests in human rights and environmental causes. Neville delivers fine original tracks and some excellently chosen covers on Brand New Blues, including Bobby "Blue" Bland's "I'll Take Care Of You" and, as the album's closer, a lengthy and astoundingly great version of Bob Marley's "Slave Driver," which Neville has customized with heartfelt and angry lyrics about the continuing political failure to restore New Orleans to pre-Katrina conditions. This is Cyril Neville's first solo album in over eight years, and releases such as this make one wish he were more prolific, but we'll take what we can get. Highly recommended.

Cheb Khaled - Liberté (2009)
This album gives fans some moments of pure raï heaven – the track Sidi Rabbi is vintage Oran and an open invitation to dance, the singer asks God’s forgiveness for all the foolish things he has done in his life, in an almost sufi spirit. As on his previous album Ya-Rayi, Khaled covers two songs by Blaoui Houari: the emotionally charged Zabana, which tells the story of the first man condemned to death in Oran during French colonial rule, and the nostalgic Baba, the only song in French, dedicated to the memory of his father. “We chose to make an album which returns to the roots sounds of Oran and Morocco” explains Martin. There are unmistakable touches of the berber style of Nass El Ghiwan - the main inspiration for the thirteen year old Khaled’s first band, Noujoum El Khams (The Five Stars). Another first: he includes a gnawa track, singing the long intro accompanied by a gumbri, with all the conviction of a ‘maâlem’. A pop guitar fires up the band, “a nod to Led Zeppelin” explains Martin mischievously, as the song builds up into the ultimate trance music.
