Johnny Depp (CHOCOLAT) delivers a remarkable performance in this highly acclaimed tale of adventure and intrigue in the wild, wild west! A young man in search of a fresh start, William Blake (Depp) embarks on an exciting journey to a new town … never realizing the danger that lies ahead. But when a heated love triangle ends in double murder, Blake finds himself a wanted man, running scared — until a mysterious loner teaches him to face the dangers that follow a “dead man.” With an outstanding supporting cast including Gabriel Byrne (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) and Robert Mitchum (CAPE FEAR), and a sizzling soundtrack, DEAD MAN is another motion picture triumph from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.

About Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (180 Gram) by Black Sabbath:
1973’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the fifth studio album from British heavy metal icons Black Sabbath, and follow-up to Vol. 4 which was released the year prior. The ambitious album found the group expanding upon their signature style with increased production and more complex arrangements resulting in such unprecedented and powerful material as “A National Acrobat” and “Killing Yourself to Live.”

About Black Sabbath Vol 4 (180 Gram) by Black Sabbath:
Originally released in 1972, Vol. 4 is the fourth album by British heavy metal legends Black Sabbath. The release was initially titled Snowblind in reference to the many tracks centered around drug use which was running rampant in the band at the time of the recording. Vol. 4 also found the band expanding upon their trademark sound with the tracks “Wheels of Confusion,” “Tomorrow’s Dream” and “Changes,” while still offering up classic Sabbath fair like the ultra-heavy “Supernaut.”

STEVE CROPPER ‘DEDICATED’ AND OTHER NEW CD RECOMMENDATIONS!!!

August 9, 2011 - On Sale , The Record Exchange Blog - by - No Comments

BUY THE CD HERE

Legendary Stax guitarist Steve Cropper knows that the Shirelles, the Mamas & the Papas and the Hardest Working Man got more commercial mileage out of those numbers than The 5 Royales – the group that originally recorded those records. However, Cropper will always consider those tracks to The 5 Royales songs. In the years before Cropper found fame playing with Booker T. & and the MG’s and Otis Redding, he was enamored with The 5 Royales. Cropper was a big fan of the group’s guitarist and primary songwriter Lowman Pauling. Pauling, like many musicians in the early days of R&B and rock music, had a distinct playing style. The strap on his guitar was long, and the six string hung down by Pauling’s knees. Cropper said that Pauling was a major influence, and his new record Dedicated: A Salute to the 5 Royales allows Cropper to resurrect The 5 Royales for long time fans while also introducing the uninitiated to the group’s music.

Cropper and co-producer Jon Tiven recruited a who’s who of soul, blues, rock and country musicians and vocalists to sing the 15 tracks included on Dedicated. Steve Winwood’s muscular tenor energizes the rollicking R&B number “Thirty Second Lover.” Delbert McClinton glides through the rockabilly cut “Right Around the Corner.” Retro soul fans know that Sharon Jones can tear up a church infused up-tempo number or a mid-tempo torch number, and she does not disappoint on the high energy “Messin’ Up” and on her disturbingly funny duet with Dylan LeBlanc , “Come On & Save Me.” The showcase track on Dedicated takes listeners to the church of love. That ballad, “Someone Made You For Me,” uses imagery and language derived from the church so that the vocalist – in this case Dan Penn – can express his undying love. If this track finds new life as a wedding first dance song, that would be true justice because the words to this song are beautiful. – Soul Tracks

NEW RELEASE OF THE WEEK: THE HORRORS ‘SKYING’

August 9, 2011 - On Sale , The Record Exchange Blog - by - No Comments

BUY THE CD HERE
BUY THE VINYL HERE

When The Horrors dropped Primary Colors two years ago, it was the very definition of a breakthrough success. It picked up a nomination for the Mercury Prize, and found its way onto many critics’ 2009 year-end lists, including our own. But if that album was a breakthrough, then Skying cements the band as a major force in modern music, and captures their unstoppable growth, too.

From the first mechanical gear of “Changing The Rain”, it’s apparent just how much better everything sounds. The textures are more varied, the guitar work is subtle, and the vocals are stronger. There are no “standard” tracks here. Every number attempts something at least a little differently, and succeeds for the most part.

Throughout, the synthesizer work of Tom Cowan is especially noteworthy, but every track has its unique breath of fresh air. “You Said” is full of abrasive, buzzing noise that slides into the background. “I Can See Through You” opens with a disco-meets-early-’90s synth that demands dance floor attention, until a downpour of heavy guitar insists on moshing, instead. “Endless Blue” contains a hazy, summer feel supplemented by a masked horn section. – Consequence of Sound
