Electric Digger Dandy
''Electric Digger Dandy'' is the third solo studio album by Australian singer/songwriter James Reyne released in June 1991. The album was released in the United States as ''Any Day Above Ground''. The album peaked at number 3 on the ARIA Charts and remains Reyne's highest-charting album. The album saw Reyne's return to a more electric sound. It features the singles "Slave", " Any Day Above Ground" and "Some People", as well as a new, acoustic rendition of the Australian Crawl song "Reckless". Reception Tomas Mureika of AllMusic wrote that on "''Electric Digger Dandy'' Reyne expanded his musical boundaries with collaborations with Jim Vallance and Tony Joe White. The result is an invigorated Reyne, who seems to be having a great time winding his voice around gorgeous melodies and intense rants alike. Despite its nutty had-to-be-changed-for-America title, ''Digger Dandy'' finds a more introspective experimental Reyne, one content to play the music at a lower level and let his wo ...

Pop Music
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms ''popular music'' and ''pop music'' are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles. During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. '' Rock'' and ''pop'' music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which ''pop'' became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible. Although much of the music that appears on record charts is considered to be pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music. Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to. Much pop music also borrows elements from other st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
