llMusic Review by Joe Viglione [-]
On November 13, 1963, as veteran producer/liner-notes writer Bob Altshuler
explains, "Atco microphones were positioned on the Apollo stage" after
the showing of a film preceding this concert, which began "a few minutes
before twelve o'clock." Decades later, this material by Doris Troy, Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, the Falcons, the Coasters, and Ben E. King remains a vital document of a special time when entertainment was pure and remarkable. Opening with Wilson Pickett and Eddie Floyd's version of the Falcons,
the tone is set for the album, sticking to deeper cuts from the various
artists' catalogs and shying away from their hits, with the exception
of "Walking the Dog" from Rufus Thomas and headliner Ben E. King's "Stand By Me." The two Otis Redding
tracks were taped more than a year and a half before his first Top 40
hit, while the former Apollo Theater usherette who follows Redding on this set, the marvelous Doris Troy,
was riding high with "Just One Look" on the charts a few months before
this taping. That gem isn't here, but her unique interpretation of
"Misty" and her own "Say Yeah" are. Every one of the performances is
top-notch, concluding with a finale where all concerned do a short
rendition of Ray Charles' "What I'd Say." Essential entertainment.

Album of the Day: Jesse & The Hogg Brothers
LIVE IN HARLEM
CD Release Tuesday April 30th at Midway Cafe
Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 8 PM – 2 AM
We got an advance copy through our favorite bootlegger in a head shop in Harvard Square!
We're not supposed to publish a review until April 30, but that's never stopped us before!!!!!!!!!
For those following the musical vagabonds known as Jesse and the Hogg Brothers, you'll be delighted to know that Black and Blue Records has released 18 tracks of cow-punkin' hillbilly-in, blue-neck, green-neck, red-neck, purple-neck rock and roll from deep in the heart of Harlem, New York, and it is an amazing chronicle of this amazing group of talented, albeit difficult, personalities. Think of Jesse as a musical Jed Clampett with his extended family planted in different parts of these United States rocking out with their pop/country/rock/ - keeping those extensions all happy, from Texas to Vegas, from Indianapolis to Boston, is a job unto itself.
But the resulting product is well worth it, as you can hear on opening track "Biker Ann," a song that works through all its permutations. In fact, when you mix the combinations of players with those permutations (in the different regions where Jesse plays with his cousins and brothers and sisters,) you get different perspectives on the various tunes.
This is, indeed, a "greatest hits live" album, and the historic setting in Harlem makes the work all that more collectible. All our favorite Hogg songs make their mark: "Love Buckets," "Cream Gravy," "Hogg Tail Twist," "Party in My Pants" are all received with warmth and love that the band gets from the Harlem and other New York clubs. "Santa's Got a Bag of Coal" is a new standout while the classic "White Trash Meth Lab" remains a fave, something producer Bob Ezrin and the early Alice Cooper Group would have embraced and give a place of honor in their sets. Seventeen songs grace the 18 tracks concluding, of course, with "Don't Mess with Texas."
Recorded at Shrine World Music on November 3, 2018 it features Kash Hogg on acoustic guitar and vocals,
Joe Bob Hogg on extraordinary slide guitar, Kenny Hogg on bass and vocals, Joe Joe Hogg on drums, Jesse Braintree (whose mother was a member of the illustrious Hogg family) on vocals.
Record release parties start now!

AllMusic Review by Joe Viglione [-]
https://www.allmusic.com/album/classic-albums-electric-ladyland-dvd-mw0001399167
Director Roger Pomphrey creates a unique montage of thoughts, impressions, photographs, and sounds about the creation and development of the Jimi Hendrix album Electric Ladyland. Engineer Eddie Kramer cracks open the tapes and the world gets to hear Rolling Stone Brian Jones' unreleased piano track to "All Along the Watchtower," Jimi's own strange "sci-fi" "air" vocal sounds on "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" -- fascinating stuff that makes a hardcore Hendrix fan or any serious musician wish there were 16 hours of information about this recording rather than just the 60 minutes or so that you get here. The DVD has no bonus material -- unless you consider the lame "discography" consisting of a mere three discs, with no information on Are You Experienced or Axis: Bold as Love -- but the program is cleverly put together and holds one's attention. There is a track selection giving the viewer some mobility and a strong, succinct script which gets the message across efficiently. Of course, the interview footage with Noel Redding and Chas Chandler is priceless now, and the information from the lips of the Jefferson Airplane's Jack Casady, Buddy Miles, Steve Winwood, Dave Mason, and other players on these sessions is all wonderful and marvelous. Originally released by Rhino on video in 1998, this Eagle Rock Entertainment version comes with a one-page pullout that includes the "Chapter Selection" and a blurb for other titles in the series: Lou Reed's Transformer, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, and Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Created originally for television, the hour zips by with nuggets on different aspects of the release, including photographer David Montgomery and record executive Chris Stamp discussing the making of the controversial U.K. "naked ladies" cover with Eddie Kramer explaining how Jimi was annoyed by an album design he had no control over. Kramer does an excellent and spirited job of pretty much narrating this as notes from Noel Redding's diary and Jimi's song lyrics in his own handwriting are utilized to good effect, all woven into the fabric of interviews, video clips, and rare glimpses into the recording process which resulted in this exceptional album.

AllMusic Review by Joe Viglione [-]
Connie Francis at the Copa is a decent document of the immortal pop singer performing live in New York City with an orchestra conducted by Joe Mele. The ten selections include a five-song Al Jolsonmedley and a coupling of "When the Saints Come Marching In" with "Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home" -- putting the emphasis on standards more than her hits. Two Top Ten gold singles from 1960 are here, though: Connie's remake of the 1940s Italian composition "Mama" and a song more representative of her pop hits, "Many Tears Ago."
The sound quality for a major release on MGM is shockingly low, on the level of a good bootleg. Mickey Deans' cassette recordings of his wife, and Judy Garland's last performance, which became the Judy. London. 1969. LP, are similar to this allegedly "High Fidelity Recording" -- though that album emerged out of necessity and this was produced by a major film/record company. But the singer is great -- at the top of her game, recorded a year after she debuted her album of Italian songs in 1960 on The Perry Como Show. The liner notes contain nine reviews from critics, Frank Farrell of the World-Telegram and Sun calling this a "...sensational supper club bow as a major star." Connie Francis at the Copa casts the singer in a different light. Somewhat removed from her popular radio material, she proves she has the talent to take virtually any material and hit it out of the park.
