No.2 Live Dinner - Robert Earl Keen

Advantages: THE original and best oasis albim
Disadvantages: Married with children

...This is the first album by Oasis and is undoubtedly the best! It is from the UKs number one Indie band, Oasis who have the second highest selling album in the UK ever which shows you just what this band can do. This album contains 11 tracks; Rock 'n' Roll Star, Shakermaker, Live Forever, Up In The Sky, Columbia, Supersonic, Bring It On Down, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Digsy's Dinner, Slide Away and Married With Children, all excellent apart from Married With Children whose lyrics took about as much imagination as the "Dope Wars" game (Ivedone a review on that aswell). SO if you want a good album and like Indie music, get this. If you're not keen on indie music then get Whats the Story Morning Glory - the lyrics seem to agree with everyones tastes!... Read review

Disadvantages: Not quite up to the standard of the previous album

The second best on the album. Fans of Earl Brutus will be keen to hear track six, The Lord Is My Shotgun, as it glams its way along at a snail's pace. A bit of a plodding track, it benefits from the listener knowing that City (formerly Sick City) is to follow. The best track on the album by far, it is the closest the Scream come to emulating their previous album's greatness. Evil Heat often appears to be trying too hard - City just rocks out and has done with it. Some Velvet Morning features a duet with Kate Moss, and is a very good tune indeed. She has a voice not dissimilar to the Breeders' Kim Deal, for anyone wondering but not wanting to actually hear... Read review

Advantages: It will blow your mind
Disadvantages: It will disturb your complacency

...in the Village) and Chicago (for blues at Mr. Kelly's),.. I had never heard Earl Anderza play. In the three weeks we spent locked down together, we talked about a wide-world of subjects, of course, we spoke about music, books and our lives in the life, while we awaited transportation to different prisons; he to the State and me to the Feds. Earl spoke about music with the sort of authority that --- when I got out many months later and bought my first vinyl copy of "Outa Sight" --- I wasn't the least bit surprised that his musicianship was amazing or that his lyrical sense was fully formed. I have been delighted by these cuts for more than 35 years; each time I go back to them they re-delight me. After about three weeks, I got carted off to Lompoc FCI and I never saw Earl Anderza again. Since Earl never re-emerged into the first-rank of musicians... Read review
