As further proof that the virtuosity of Jerry Douglas knows no categorical bounds, the biggest surprise on his predominantly instrumental The Best Kept Secret is a revival of the disco-era smash "Back in Love Again," with Alison Krauss supplying as much vocal funk as she can muster. The undisputed master of the shimmering Dobro (and a featured member of Krauss's band Union Station), Douglas also applies his artistry to the jazzy atmospherics of Weather Report's "A Remark You Made," pays homage to Celtic fiddler Aly Bain on the reflective "Sir Aly B," trades licks with guitarist Bill Frisell on the twangy "Lil' Ro Ro," and enlists John Fogerty for guest vocals on "Swing Blues #1." The album additionally showcases Douglas on lap steel, with guitarist Derek Trucks providing rock propulsion on the opening "She Makes Me Want to Sing." A breakdown with banjoist Béla Fleck and mandolinist Sam Bush on "Who's Your Uncle?" finds Douglas on more familiar turf at his bluegrass best. --Don McLeese

5 out of 5 stars Not what you'd think.......2007-06-13

I've heard Douglas on various records and liked him quite a bit -- but most of his work has been in the narrow field of bluegrass. I didn't run out to buy this because I saw Sam Bush, Allison Krause and Bela Fleck were on it and thought it'd be another bluegrass mainstream record.

It is not. This is a fusion session; and while it pushes too hard at some points to be one (the version of "A Remark you Made" a classic of
the fusion repetoire, is a good but not great moment) it succeeds completely in others.

"She Makes Me Want to Sing" is a classic of tight fitting rock with a sort of Alabama-Allman Brothers flavor -- but what it reminds me of most is early Quicksilver Messenger Service or possibly the Grateful Dead from before Live/Dead. It is energetic, expressive, tight, and it rocks.

"The Best Kept Secret" opens similarly, but goes off into a Zawinul-influenced meditation before coming back to its roots. At moments it reminds me of Miles Davis, post 'Kind of Blue' but with railroad songs at the root instead of soul riffs.

"Lil' Roro" is a roots rocker with country blues as the taproot. "Swing Blues" is well described elsewhere, but it's also not bluegrass. "Ya Ya etc. is more like Bela Fleck when he's NOT being a bluegrass musician,
i.e., UFO-TOFU style.

I heard about this CD in the interview that Jerry Douglas did on NPR; otherwise, I might not have purchased it. We are really enjoying the music.

5 out of 5 stars King of the Dobro.......2007-01-13

If you want to hear the music of the hottest dobro player on the planet, then this CD is for you.

Jerry Douglas brings his high energy, bluegrass-influenced, impeccably tasteful style to this, his latest CD, and God bless him for it.

Special surprise--Gabe Witcher, virtuoso fiddler--plays with Jerry on a song that Gabe wrote, "Snow's First Fall," a delicate melodic piece to balance some of the more hard-driving pieces on the CD.

For a hip, modern boy, Louis XIV's Jason Hill has plenty of old school rock star attitude. On his San Diego trio's debut album he declares himself a "weapon of mass destruction" and then backs it up with salacious come-ons meant to offend as they intrigue ("I know you want a strangle / Or a mouthful of gasoline / Or to be tied up and stoned"). Lyrical allusions to T. Rex and the Kinks tell only part of Louis XIV's actual musical journey. Hill may fancy Marc Bolan and Ray Davies as elegant dandies, and occasionally borrow their lightweight shuffles to great effect. However, his own proper terrain is the thorny inquisition of the Fall's Mark E. Smith. Here, his band throttles in kind, motoring a cantankerous rhythm section that's every bit as vicious as fellow modern day malcontents the Libertines or White Stripes. --Jaan Uhelszki

Album Description

The San Diego-based combo's eagerly anticipated new album The Best Little Secrets Are Kept is a uniquely magnificent collection that's truly fit for a king. The brainchild of musician/producer Jason Hill along with Brian Karscig, Mark Maigaard, & Jimmy Armbrust, Louis XIV have already drawn acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic with their inventive melange of royally raucous riffs and big bawdy beats. *Parental Advisory for Artwork Only-Not for Musical Content*

This is easily one of the worst albums I have EVER heard. EVER. NO REDEEMING QUALITIES WHATSOEVER.

4 out of 5 stars Was the Sun King really this horny?.......2007-04-13

How did I hear about Louis XIV? When I heard Finding Out True Love is Blind on my brother's MLB 2000-and-something PS2 game. That was it -- I went out and bought this album the next day. I wasn't disappointed.

The first eight songs troll through a garagey, Brit-poppy aesthetic, as has now been mentioned a million and one times when describing this album, and every step along the way is catchy as hell. But I contend this is more of concept album than people realize.

While the cheap come-on lines are sure to offend feminists and prudes, the final couplet of All the Little Pieces and Ball of Twine go in a completely different direction from the first eight tracks, the former substituting the trashy guitars (which come to the fore on True Love, God Killed the Queen and Illegal Tender) for symphonic sweeps and the latter adding plaintive acoustic guitar that morphs into the string melody that opens the album.

Not that the lyrics carry the weight of Pink Floyd or Bright Eyes, but Louis XIV through to Hey Teacher seem to be about an undersexed guy fresh off a breakup looking to plug whatever holes are out there. Our hero has his fun with vanilla friends, illegal tenders, kinky seductresses and sultry schoolteachers, but the delicate focus found on All the Little Pieces and Ball of Twine seemingly indicate that kind of fun only lasts so long and that our narrator would like nothing more than to retreat to the life he left behind.

Of course, I could be wrong, and the storyline on this album isn't the point. The point is every track, whether it be one of the hang-out-with-the-wang-out rockers or one of the gentler interludes, is purely fantastic. I'm still taking this one off the shelf on a semi-weekly basis because it's that good.

3 out of 5 stars Louis XXX.......2007-03-28

The members of Louis XIV are either over- or undersexed. It's not so easy to tell which one. Much has been made about their lyrical content (yes, folks, pretty much every line is about Doing It), but I can look beyond that. So they prefer smarmy to smart, wolf-whistles to wit. Although content counts for something, it doesn't mean the music is bad, right?

Nah, it's not bad. In fact, it's just what it wants to be: sleazy glam-rock riffs sandwiched between raunchy rhythms. No one's trying to do anything new here, that's for certain, and you'll see shadows of other, better bands (the comparisons have been made to death elsewhere; I won't go into it) dancing behind the notes.

Taken for something profound or even intriguing, "Secrets" is sure to be a disappointment. But if, like the greaseballs who populate this band (not an insult -- they LOVE being greaseballs), all you want is some grimy, groin-grabbing goof-rock, this is your ticket in the door.

3 out of 5 stars Louis XIV.......2007-02-07

I searched far and wide for this album and am not sure why. They have a couple of good songs but something is just a little off...

5 out of 5 stars Doesn't get much better that this..........2006-12-18

Look, I don't want to repeat what better reviewers have already written, but this album really is that good. Don't be turned off by the 80's metal-band comparisons - Louis XIV is way more versatile than that. I hated metal and grew up on new wave, so I hear strains of Adam Ant, the Kinks, Doctor and the Medics, and even a little Madness on "Letter to Dominique".

And for those sensitive souls who complain about the lyrics, "if you want clean fun, go fly a kite."

4 out of 5 stars good.......2006-07-27

while trial and brotherhood are both solid hxc veterans, champion has earned their position as one of the major powerhouses in hardcore. no need to bash a sincere hardcore band (check out their lyrics if you ever get around to it). they just recently broke up and it was nowhere near a silent break. i know the kids in seattle had fun at the last show. count our numbers and come out swinging are better albums than this release, but promises kept is not terrible either. you're into true hardcore, you know what hardcore is about...if you met those two standards, you'll like promises kept.

1 out of 5 stars WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD HARDCORE MUSIC.......2005-12-04

FIRST OFF, I AM 18 YEARS OLD. I KNEW I WOULD GET ALOT OF HATE MAIL FOR THIS REVIEW. I SAW THIS BAND PLAY LIVE ONE AFTERNOON AND PUT ON ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS IVE SEEN, AND IVE BEEN TO ALOT OF SHOWS. WELL AFTER THE SHOW, I WENT TO A CD STORE AND BOUGHT THIS CRAP. THAT SHOW WAS SO MISLEADING. THIS MUSIC IS SO TYPICAL NOWADAYS. YOU DONT HAVE GOOD BANDS LIKE UNIFORM CHOICE, SUPERTOUCH, BURN, STRIFE, TOKEN ENTRY, SIDE BY SIDE ETC... ANY MORE. WHAT HAPPENED? IF YOU WANT GOOD SEATTLE HARDCORE TRY TRIAL OR BROTHERHOOD, NOT THIS CRAP!

5 out of 5 stars ALONE IN A CROWD!!!.......2005-05-10

Champion is easily one of the best punk-influenced hardcore bands out there today. You dont have to be straightedge to appreciate the build-up and explosion of the opening track, "Promises Kept" or any of the following 11 songs. It's short, about 22 minutes, but flawless, with many gang vocals, empowering lyrics, and a genuine raw power. Personally, I think its better than Comeback Kid, but whatever, Champion brings the goods so make sure to check it out.
Best Songs: Looking Back, Miles to Go, The Decline, Every Word

5 out of 5 stars Who said it best? Brodie Holman did........2004-12-29

I couldn't agree more with Brodie Holman. Champions stripped down breed of hardcore brings to the table something that even the most unenthusiastic listen can appreciate. With obvious influences like Gorilla Biscuits, Reach the Sky and Youth of Today, and enough emotion to show that hardcore still has heart, and Straight Edge still means something, Champion has succeeded yet again. 'Promises Kept' picks up the pace. The contrast between the fast parts, and slow grooves, accompanied by bombastic gang vocals definitely keep the listening audience interested. If you are a fan of straight up hardcore, 'Promises Kept' IS your next purchase.

Best Kept Secrets, a collection of songs from Lamb's first four records, is a reminder of how exhilarating and shockingly modern their music can be. It's also a crash course on the band's precarious balancing act. When they're in sync, the somber torch singing of Louise Rhodes and the twisted proto-jungle of producer Andrew Barlow make for a delicious combination. The band's self-titled debut trumped contemporaries like Portishead, who built songs around the vocals, while Barlow and Rhodes worked on playing up their stylistic contrasts. It's a tough dynamic to maintain though, as later records like Fear of Fours and especially 2003's Between Darkness and Wonder don't quite get the formula right. Laid out in chronological order, Secrets is just like the band's career to this point: It starts off great, but tails off at the end. This being a "best of," however, you notice it less. "B Line" off Fours, for instance, sounds just fine coming after new classics like "Cotton Wool," and even though tracks like "Angelica" are almost painfully safe, they still kick up a nice ruckus. --Matthew Cooke

5 out of 5 stars Sure Glad I Discovered Lamb.......2007-03-23


Found this group in someones best of list on Amazon. Wow! They are already my 2nd favorite band. Hungry Lucy is #1. A very unique singin voice that works perfectly with the kind of music they generate. Lamb has a fuller sound to them than other electronic music bands. They also have a lighter air about their songs. Great songwriting, varied experimentation, and great sound effects. You get a DVD with this album that is one of the best music DVD'S I've seen. A real enjoyable treat. I hope they are still together. After all I am just discovering them. This is great talent and a real positive buzz.

5 out of 5 stars An explosion of sound.......2006-08-09

Given the fact that I have always loved bands as Portishead and Hooverphonic it is a bit strange to only know find out the brilliance that is Lamb.
Sure I had heard Gorecki and some other songs but they never really stuck. Until I rediscovered them about a month ago.
It started with "till the clouds clear" not only a song with great music but also with great lyrics and interaction between the two.
From there I went back to songs as Gorecki, What Sound and Angelika.
This "best of" gives you a great overview of the weirdness and (dis)harmonies this band uses to create their songs and the way it all blends together perfectly.
Ofcourse people are going to complain that songs are not included ( I really miss "What sound" on this one ) but for the person who would like to have a great compilation of one of the best Triphop bands around : get this one.

3 out of 5 stars The real SECRET is why so many songs are missing..........2005-06-24

Despite their dedication to a rabid fanbase and their impressive bounty of exquisite music, Lamb sure can be a hard band to love. After Andy Barlow and Louise Rhodes dropped their sharp, celebrated self-titled debut in 1997, the wait was considerable for 1999's FEAR OF FOURS, and though the shift in sound was different (the organic jazz undertones were pushed to the forefront with the beats mostly secondary), it was a woefully underrated album that I personally feel bested the debut in some ways. In fact, if vocalist Rhodes hadn't somehow morphed from sounding soft and enveloping to sounding like a long-lost member of Alvin and the Chipmunks' sister band the Chipettes, FOF would have been damn near perfect.

Lord knows what precipitated the move towards soft sounds and spackled edges that marred 2001's WHAT SOUND and especially 2003's BETWEEN DARKNESS AND WONDER, but it was probably the band's frequent -- and ultimately fatal -- squabbling that marked the drop-off in songcraft. A recent read of their oft-updated Web site confirms that Lamb is now kaput (although both Barlow and Rhodes are prepping solo material). And so we get a best-of compendium to wrap it all up. It should be a slam dunk. It isn't.

Granted, this is Lamb, and Lamb were superb more often than not. The best moments here -- "Cotton Wool," "Gorecki," "B-Line," "Gabriel" -- are epochal moments that transcend the original tired trip-hop and drum-n-bass tags; although they've never been honoured as such, they're all contributions to dance music in general, and at least as important in legacy as anything by Massive Attack or Moby. There are several other really good songs here, and even at its worst -- namely the BDAW tracks at the end -- BEST KEPT SECRETS is never less than listenable.

But there are simply too many key tracks missing, prompting the question, Who organized the track listing for this album (and who is their dealer)? Sixteen tracks and five of them -- five! -- come from their maligned, uneventful swan song (BDAW). When a band does this it is obvious they are trying to reintroduce material that was ignored the first time (and often with good reason). I have to say, it's pretty thoughtless toward the listener and unfair to the body of work as a whole.

For instance, what good is a Lamb retrospective without "Lusty," which is not only the most intriguing and original track off their debut but also, as most Lamb fans will attest, the most adored? And where's "Softly" from FEAR OF FOURS? It's their hands-down finest slow song and probably the closest they came to a potential crossover hit. Its absence is especially puzzling as it was released as a single (as was "I Cry" from WHAT SOUND, which isn't here either).

I'm also curious who this album is for. The suspect choice of material suggests it was intended as more of a collection of Lamb's most "important" or "interesting" work rather than their best or most popular, which would make it more appropriate for existing fans than newcomers. If this is the case, a couple of rarities would have softened the blow of the missing songs. Lamb had way more remixes than B-sides (some of which were quite stirring), but I would have at least made room for their delicious jazz rendition of "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes." Canadian fans like myself would also have found the addition of "Written" a nice treat, as it was needlessly omitted from our pressings of WHAT SOUND.

Alas, it's hard to recommend BEST KEPT SECRETS when modern technology can assist you in making a best-of that is so much more. I feel bad making such a statement regarding an album by one of my favourite bands of all time, but this is such an off-the-mark representation of Lamb's successes that I really feel compelled to tell any curious purchasers about what BEST KEPT SECRETS should have been.

My dream track listing (for anyone who cares):
1. Lusty
2. Cotton Wool
3. Trans Fatty Acid
4. Gorecki
5. Little Things
6. B-Line
7. All In Your Hands
8. Softly
9. Fly

5 out of 5 stars Ethereal trip hop from the UK!!.......2005-06-06

While walking through the departure lounge of London Heathrow to catch a flight, I heard this beautiful, crystal clear voice set against an ethereal trip hop backdrop. I backtracked and inquired who the artist was and was told it was Lamb.

I decided to get this CD and it is my introduction to Lamb, and a very good one for someone (like me) who was totally unfamiliar with their stuff. There was some stuff that needed repeated plays to get into but well worth it.

Lamb are a trip hop/electronica/drum `n bass duo from the UK, comparable in style to Portishead or Tricky. Their songs are usually musically complicated (`Cotton wool', `Gold', 'God bless', `B Line' for example) but with catchy vocals.

The track that got me, `Gorecki' is a charmer. Other great songs are `Lullaby' (which will NOT send you to sleep, I promise), `Heaven' (lilting song that about takes one there), the beautiful instrumental `Til the clouds clear', the hypnotic sounding `Wonder', `Please' (a gentle ballad sung in a pleading voice), and my favourite, `Gabriel', a lush dramatic number with jazz flourishes, comparing one's lover to the angel Gabriel.

Accompanying each track in the booklet are personal notes on the making of/inspiration behind/etc each track, which I found to be a real treat.

There is an accompanying bonus DVD with 7 videos (6 of which are tracks featured on this CD).

    2 out of 5 stars Pointless Sampler for the Over 50 Set.......2007-02-20

    The Train Kept A Rollin' is a random collection of songs from the Columbia back catalog. In every case the shortest edit of the song is used. The 11 minute plus opus "Time Has Come Today" by The Chambers Bros. is cut to a breif 3:33. Boston's "More Than A Feeling" is down to 3:29 (originally 4:45). "Frankestein" (Edgar Winter Group) is a mere 3:27 (full version is 4:44). Santanta's "Black Magic Woman" has been separated from "Gypsy Queen". Sly Stone's "I Want To Take You Higher" should be 5:42 but is down to 3:04.

    As if to say Bob Dylan is the be all and end all of rock, the set starts off with "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and ends with his forgettable "Love Sick".

    This is a truely pointless collection.

    3 out of 5 stars NOT "The Greatest Rock Collection of the Century", but..........2005-03-25

    ...still has some good stuff. I laughed at the sticker on the front of mine - "THE GREATEST ROCK COLLECTION OF THE CENTURY!" especially after reading the collection of tracks - (Where's Elvis? The Beatles? The Doors? Jefferson Airplane? Jimi Hendrix? The Who? Led Zeppelin?) - but it's still worth adding to a collection, with songs not often seen on such retrospectives, like Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Certainly NOT the greatest of the century, but a good start.

    4 out of 5 stars A good entry in the series.......2000-02-28

    This collection totally ignores rock's early years, not featuring anythin prior to mid-60's Bob Dylan. Again it is limited to recordings in the Columbia/Epic library, which is fine, but it does make for a distorted view of the 'music for the century'.

    As a series of snapshots of rock music from the 60's to the 90's it is well worth your attention.

      Album Description

      "A Brother's Dream marks only their third release, following the wonderful self-titled 1987 Hightone debut and its follow-up, Let's Get Back, released a dozen years later on Mocombo. There are moments that remind of Robert Cray, Santana, and even a taste here and there of War and Los Lobos. This is not indicative of a proclivity to emulate other musicians, but rather points to the quality of songwriting and superb musicianship that the bros. bring to the studio. This is a band loaded with heart, emotion and chops, and one that stands shoulder to shoulder with any of their left coast contemporaries." Mark Gallo

      5 out of 5 stars just awsome.......2006-05-04

      I LOVE THE LYRICS, THE BEAT, AND THE STYLE, THESE BROTHERS BRING TO THEIR SONGS. WHATS IT GONNA BE BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES, MANY OF THE TIMES I'VE LISTENED TO IT. IT DESERVES TO BE HEARD NATIONWIDE, NO WORLDWIDE, SO FATHERS AND MOTHERS AND CHILDREN CAN APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AND MEANING IN THE WORDS. THE BLUES MIXED WITH SWING JUST MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE, AND/OR MOVE IN MY SEAT. ITS ALSO THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD INSIDE. I'M GRATEFUL I CAME ACROSS THESE ROCKERS IN SIMI VALLEY THIS YEAR CUZ I'VE NOW BECOME ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST FANS.

      5 out of 5 stars Great music from a great live act.......2004-03-05

      The Brothers continue to build on the success and quality of their last album, "Let's get Back". From the rocking "Betty Sue" to the emotional closer "Talk to my Friend", they've crafted another collection of the highest quality songwriting.

      Sadly, this kind of music rarely makes the tightly formatted radio playlists. But, fans of tight musicianship, and heartfelt songs with real emotion will find plenty to keep them happy.

      Look for them live playing in Southern California. I've seen them dozens of times and they've never once let me down or given a show that was less than 110%. They are guys who love what they do, and they do it well...Give it a try, I'm sure that you'll love it!

      5 out of 5 stars See That My Grave is Kept Clean.......2003-02-26

      This man stands all alone. and he has got it......
      he doesn't need a thing--- his art is the blues, and they don't come no better than this.

      5 out of 5 stars Powerful predomonantly minor key blues; great guitar/organ........1999-03-22

      As a former sideman for the late Luther Allison, Solberg's strong Allison influence is evident here. However he takes things one step further in his highly emotional, rich, overtone-saturated guitar playing. This fits perfectly with the somewhat minor key oriented set on "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean". The Hammond B-3, expertly played by H Bomb Vegas, has a dominant role in this recording; in fact this represents some of the most tasteful blues organ on recorded CD. Solberg's vcals are good but his powerful guitar and it's interaction with the rest of the group, especially the B-3, are what makes this CD great. Highlights include the title cut and a fabulous rendition of the classic "St. James Infirmary". Overall a very highly listenable and enjoyable CD

      Album Description

      Full title - The Train Kept A-Rollin' - Memphis to Hollywood. The Complete recordings 1955-1964. Johnny Burnette was at the heart of the rock 'n' roll revolution for ten years, both with his brother Dorsey as part of the Rock 'N' Roll Trio-considered by many the greatest rockabilly group of all time - & as a hit-making recording artist on his own. Given Johnny's importance, you wouldn't really want any other label but Bear Family to release the definitive retrospective, and, boy, have they come through-here, on 9 CDs, is everything Johnny ever recorded. Not just released-recorded! That means all of his Rock 'N' Roll Trio recordings, classics like 'Train Kept A-Rollin', 'Lonesome Train (on a Lonesome Track', 'Rock Therapy', 'Honey Hush', & 'Tear It Up', his recordings for Imperial & Freedom/Liberty (complete for the first time), where he notched his hits 'Dreamin', 'You're Sixteen', 'Little Boy

      5 out of 5 stars It's all here!.......2005-03-12

      This is an outstanding box set! Bear Family has done it again! This set includes everything by Johnny and Dorsey Burnette and you get to hear a lot of rockabilly and Johnny's solo work such as his hits Dreamin, You're 16, Little Boy Sad and many more! There are even some unreleased alternate takes and demos which I know you will all enjoy! Yes, it is quite expensive, but it's all worth it for the casual fan like myself or for any rockabilly fan! You even get to hear songs that were hits later for artists such as Ricky Nelson It's Late and Believe What You Say plus their own version of Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee which Jerry Lee of course recorded. Johnny very sadly lost his life while drowning after going fishing in 1964 so it's great that he recorded so much before his untimely death. Highly recommended!
