Sangoma»rank: 7147by: Miriam Makeba
: :A sangoma is a traditional healer, one who channels the ancestral spirits who advise the living. 0n this impeccably produced CD, Miriam Makeba returns to her roots, singing the songs of her childhood, and in the process seeks to heal the wounds of apartheid and 30 years of exile from her South African home. The songs here are parables, lullabies, and gathering songs, deeply spiritual and moving. They are songs of struggle and perseverance delivered by Africa's best-loved voice. Mama Africa ... |

The Basement Tapes»rank: 2120by: Bob Dylan & the Band
: essential recording:The Basement Tapes can be heard as a manifesto for the '90s' underlying Americana agenda or as the greatest album never intended for commercial release. Homegrown 1967 recordings taped in the Band's fabled Big Pink hermitage in Saugerties, New York, many of the 24 songs resonated across American and English rock and folk long before their belated 1975 release through studio interpretations by the Byrds, Fairport Convention, Manfred Mann, Peter, Paul & Mary, and numerous other acolytes, as well ... |

Bridge Over Troubled Water»rank: 2783by: Simon & Garfunkel
: essential recording:No one can say Simon & Garfunkel went out with a whimper. The popular duo's 1970 swan song produced four hit singles and won six Grammy awards, including Record, Album, and Song of the Year. An involving mix of sweeping epics ('The Boxer,' the title track) and breezy throwaways (a live cover of the Everly Brothers' 'Bye Bye Love,' the rock & roll trifle 'Baby Driver'), Bridge was one of the most popular albums of its era. What's particularly ... |

A Windham Hill Christmas»rank: 1383by: Various Artists
: :The songs are familiar carols, but A Windham Hill Christmas retains the Windham Hill Winter Solstice series tradition of unusual arrangements and performances that evoke the mood of the season, especially if your take on that mood is a Northeast, snow-covered landscape, like that depicted on the Hallmark card-like cover. The usual bevy of Windham Hill sampler artists are all here, but it's some of the secondary cast that give the most innovative performances. Tracy Silverman & Thea Suits reinvent 'Silent ... |

Bob Dylan Live 1975 (The Bootleg Series Volume 5)»rank: 2736by: Bob Dylan
: :0ne of the many oddities of Bob Dylan's long and unruly career has been the rather cursory recording treatment given his stint as ringleader of the Rolling Thunder Revue. lt's a shortcoming that's rectified with the release of Live 1975. Prior to the appearance of this two-disc collection, Rolling Thunder's eclectic road show was chronicled only in the infrequently screened, Dylan-directed Renaldo & Clara film and the bafflingly brief and one-note 1976 live set, Hard Rain. ln contrast to its predecessor, ... |
