Cornbread Peas And Black Molasses - Chris Barber Jazz And Blues Band

Gold, Gold, Dixieland Gold

Advantages: The absolute pinnacle of Barber
Disadvantages: None

Chris Barber at Whitley Bay Playhouse: December 2002. Lonnie Donegan dies: November 2002. These two seemingly unconnected events made it timely to look back over my CD collection and revisit a real treasure in my collection. I have a confession to make in that I am reviewing here a CD rather than a concert but given the circumstances I believe it to be justified in this case. CHRIS BARBER'S JAZZ BAND. LIVE IN 1954. "Dixie Gold, The Best of Dixieland". CD Limelight 820878-2 £9.99 There are some concert performances that can claim to be historic - This is one of them. This recently reissued CD is a compilation of two live recordings - Jazz concerts played at the Royal Festival Hall, London on October 30th 1954 {A} and January 9th 1955 {B}. All right, so I wasn't there in the flesh at the time - I wasn't (quite!) old enough ...

Review of Chris Barber Jazz Band

Black Eyed Peas

Advantages: Good music, pure happy song
Disadvantages: some explicit words

The next artist that I would discuss is the Black Eyed Peas and there album Monkey Business. The group is consist of 4 members, namely Will-I-Am, Fergie, the only girl in the group, Taboo, and the Filipino pride Apl. The group was formed 2003, that was the time Fergie was already with them, there are some changes before she came with the group. There genre is pop/hip-hop/danceable sound, Will-i-Am gave the name to the group, he got the inspiration of naming them from The Red Hot Chili Pepper" . The group gain worldwide fame to the song "Where is the Love", the song features Justin Timberlake, and the song is in included in there first major hit album Elephunk. The album is a hit in Australia, UK and of course in the Philippines, and also in the album are the songs "Shut Up" "Hey mama" and " Let's Get Retarded", and with those hit ...

Review of Monkey Business - Black Eyed Peas

Fill up my cup. Muzel Tov. ~ Black Eyed Peas The END

Advantages: Some great upbeat tunes
Disadvantages: Some not so great tunes

I bought this album just for the song I gotta feeling! If you like Black Eyed Peas you'll love this album. It's their 5th studio album and whereas the last was a fun quirky album this one is very much for the dance floor! I would recommend skipping to track 5 simply because I love it..... No really, it's such an upbeat song and the lyrics are fab, ok they don't make the most sense in the world but it shows off the bands fab vocal abilities. Everytime I hear it, it makes me want to go out and strut my stuff on the dance floor lol! Fergie is a good singer and that is shown throught the album, but whats with the Jamaican accent all about on Electric City, not a favourite track of mine!!! I find it a very electro/techno/RnB type album, a good mix which actually works very well. It's bound to get you on the dance floor ...
