''The Guardian'' deemed ''Uh-Oh'' "the most Talking-Heads-esque of Byrne’s solo albums, albeit with a Latin-American influence." ''The Washington Post'' thought that Byrne's "yelps, which range from intentionally comic to comically arty, rarely dominate their rhythmically dense, albeit melodically bland, settings." The ''Orlando Sentinel'' wrote that the "Afro-Brazilian influences are more fully integrated now t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Lillywhite Sessions
''The Lillywhite Sessions'' (tLWS) is a collection of songs recorded by Dave Matthews Band in 1999 and 2000 and produced by Steve Lillywhite. The songs, recorded by the band as a follow-up to their 1998 album ''Before These Crowded Streets'', were ultimately scrapped by the band's label. Upon being forced by the label to abandon the album-in-progress, Dave Matthews was assigned to work with producer Glen Ballard who, in association with Matthews, wrote the album ''Everyday (Dave Matthews Band album), Everyday'' in just ten days. This contrasted with the band's prior style of writing, which included significant collaboration between the band members in the studio. The recordings later emerged on the Internet shortly after the release of ''Everyday,'' and created controversy among fans as well as the music industry, which was early in its campaign to curb illegal file downloads. ''The Lillywhite Sessions'' were never officially released, but most of the songs were later recorded for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Music For The Divine
''Music for the Divine'' is a studio album by former Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Trapeze vocalist/ bassist Glenn Hughes. It was his eleventh solo studio album and was released in 2006 on Frontier, Demolition, Sony BMG and Yamaha records. History ''Music for the Divine'', the follow-up to 2005's '' Soul Mover'' marked a continued increase in Hughes' popularity. The album contains a more varied approach than his previous albums, songs like "Steppin' On", "Too High" and "Monkey Man" follow Hughes' regular style of funk infused hard rock, but other songs like "Frail" and "The Divine" are mellower and lean towards acoustic songwriting. There is a heavy use of acoustic guitar on many of the tracks as well as some orchestration. This is the second Hughes album to feature Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith on the entirety of the record. The record was also co-produced by Smith and was recorded at his home in the Hollywood Hills; the album artwork features pictures taken duri ...
