were the lowest he'd ever experienced in his entire career. By the early '90s, he was without a label for the first time in four decades.

of ethnographic material in the world.

While recording for the Library of Congress in the 1930s, Lomax made trips to Haiti and the Bahamas. The recordings made in Haiti in 1936 37 provide a window on Haitian expressive culture recorded soon after the departure of the American Marines, while Haiti was in the throes of a nationalist and africentric movement. This groundbreaking production of the story, the sounds, and the sights of the legendary musicologist s trip to Haiti features 10 CDs, two books containing extensive notes and Lomax s journal, a replica...  (less)

but with better sound than the three disc box set, Jefferson Airplane Loves You , this 32 track compilation covers the band’s seven albums and two live offerings, giving nearly equal time to all. Not held in as high esteem as their Bay Area compatriots the Grateful Dead, the Airplane successfully combined Marty Balin’s expressive voice on such lovely folk-tinged love songs as "Comin' Back to Me," the apocalyptic visions of "Wooden Ships" (co-written by the Airplane’s Paul Kantner with David Crosby and Stephen Stills), the edgy, psychedelia of "The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil" and the politically charged rallying cry of "Volunteers." Singer Grace Slick provided a photogenic focal point and dynamic int...  (less)

for years, this one's regarded as an absolute classic of the 'progressive bluegrass' genre, featuring Peter's signature tune 'Midnight-Moonlight' as well as such tasty folk and country-rockin' numbers as 'Take It As It Comes; Me Loving You; Old Silver; Thunder on the Mountain; Beggar in Blue Jeans; Do Right; Man-Woman; Pieces on the Ground' and 'Here Today-Gone Tomorrow'.

for Glory)—immediate notice of a major new songwriting talent on the scene. When we were surveying the Elektra catalog to determine which albums to reissue, we were surprised, nay, astonished to discover that the first two albums by Phil Ochs had fallen out of print! These are only two of the most important albums of the early-to-mid-’60s folk music explosion, sporting some of the most barbed topical songs of the decade, and they are reissued here with new notes and mastering. A pair of indispensable exclusives!  (less)

Folk City in New York in '82, shows the singer-songwriter's singer-songwriter in top solo form following the dissolution of his partnership with wife Linda. One caveat: Thompson's vocal delivery--especially on songs that Linda used to sing, such as "A Heart Needs a Home" and "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight"--is a tad rough. One assumes this is the reason Thompson (according to label head Joe Boyd) asked for the record to stay out of print for a number of years. But such minor quirks invariably happen in live performances, and the missed note here and the cough there add to the record's charm. Thompson has rarely sounded as nimble-fingered (on the terrifically show-offy "Roll Over Vaughn Williams") as he does here, nor as emotionally ...  (less)

The group's indoor/outdoor audio assaults in upper and lower Manhattan are the stuff of legend, but on Live at Ken's Electric Lake the band took a distinct turn, crossed the Canadian border, and made a sudden diaspora to a rural retreat in the country for a full day's session of acid-head tribal percussion clatter that is utterly different than anything they had put on the public record up to that time. Looser, groovier, and more in the communal hippie state of mind than ever, NNCK's long out-of-print fifth release from 1998 ranks among the finest displays of tribal churn and choogle in the band's thirteenyear history. Neo-dada attacks were swapped for psychedelic good vibrations, and midrange mystery for outdoor atmospherics. This is a peak communal groov...  (less)
