Live At The Apollo Vol.1 [Remastered] - James Brown (Soul)

The Birth Of Soul Caught Live

Advantages: James Brown before he went global
Disadvantages: Very dated, none of his big hits

the best live album of all time, but for me parts of Rattle And Hum by U2 and Bob Marley's Live walk all over it. Read on for the tracks. THE TRACKS -------------------- 1. Introduction To James Brown A very glitzy, showbiz opening as the compare introduces James Brown (and The Famous Flames, his then backing group). After announcing each song the band will play and Brown will sing, a cymbal and one note trumpet ring sound, followed by the hysterical cheers of the mostly female audience. 2. I''ll Go Crazy Does some great vocal acrobatics before a mad rhythm and guitar part come in with the trumpets. The crowd, of course, approve. You can just see Brown toying with the brittle emotions of the teenage crowd as he goes through this mid-paced soul classic. 3. Try Me Aside from Please Please Please this is probably best known pre ...

Review of Live At The Apollo (1962) [Remastered] - James Brown

Mr. Brown's Sunday Morning Soul

Advantages: A strong mix of tracks
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

"Mr. Brown" is the second solo album from the Georgia Soul singer, Sleepy Brown.

"I'm Soul" We are kicked of in a big way with a gentle one from the artist. It has him ease his way inot things by coming with a track which has him work withvery little in the way of lyrics, and simply repeat the chorus for the majority of the thing. Despite it lengthy duration, he keeps the listeners engaged from start to finish with it. **Four Stars** 2. "Margarita" This is the main single off the album and has Sleepy work alongside The Neptunes for an up ...

Review of Mr. Brown [PA] - Sleepy Brown

Kill Bill Vol. 1 review

Advantages: Great music, engaging story
Disadvantages: Not one for the faint-hearted

classic Tarantino, the dialogue is sharp but also a tad on the surreal side. It sounds script like, but very natural, if that makes sense. It's such a fun film, although it is very bloody and gory, it's never serious, and the script reflects that. The acting is great, with everyone playing their roles well. The action is intense and very well done, with music kept at a minimum so you can hear every bone cracking and every stab with the blade. The music is superb. Quentin Tarantino always knows the perfect music to go with his films, and this is no exception. Combining soft soulful music with contemporary Japanese pop, it's a very eclectic mix but works very well together. And even Ennio Morricone makes an appearance, his song "Death Rides a Horse" is used when The Bride and O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) are staring each other out. The song reminds ...
