Banjos Back in Town The Banjo Barons Release: 1962 Label: Columbia Genre: Folk, Pop Duration: 29:23 Discs: 1 Date Added: 11 Nov 2009 Comments: Click the picture to listen to this album at Vinylicious! Summary: The new national craze for the banjo began in the “banjo bars” of San Francisco and Los Angeles. There, in a few colorful bistros, the plink-plunk of the banjos enthused customers, encouraged them to sing along, and delighted everyone, including the owners. The movement began to sweep eastward with the speed of a revival, and banjo players now find themselves enjoying a popularity they have not known for some years. Now the brilliance of high fidelity and stereophonic recording brings the Banjo Barons back to town with a zip and zest that tingles all the way through. Listen for the startling clarity of the banjos as they strum their way through this happy music—36 all time favorites—in duets and trios of sparkling fun. Along the way there are occasional throbs from the organ and some doo-wacka-doo trumpet that add to the entertainment. The Banjo Barons, under Jimmy Carroll’s direction, make happy music—music to sing to, dance to, or simply enjoy in quiet relaxation. Cheerful medleys alternate with sentimental refrains in a bright, light-hearted program. Banjos are back in town, better than ever!

5	The Beatles	1962-1966		2	1973	Apple	Rock
1962-1966 The Beatles Release: 1973 Label: Apple Genre: Rock Duration: 1:01:57 Discs: 2 Date Added: 11 Nov 2009 Comments: Summary: The closest the Beatles came to a greatest hits package, this document of the early part of their career features hit singles (in chronological order) and selected album tracks, running from "Love Me Do" through the groundbreaking "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" albums. While this may be an excellent intro for beginners, real fans will never be content with only selections, especially when you're dealing with those aforementioned albums. Love Me Do 2:18 Please Please Me 1:58 From Me to You 2:38 She Loves You 2:19 I Want to Hold Your Hand 2:23 All My Loving 2:05 Can't Buy Me Love 2:10 A Hard Day's Night 2:28 And I Love Her 2:28 Eight Days A Week 2:42 I Feel Fine 2:19 Ticket to Ride 3:02 Yesterday 2:03 Help! 2:33 You've Got to Hide Your Love Away 2:06 We Can Work It Out 2:11 Day Tripper 2:47 Drive My Car 2:25 Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) 2:02 Nowhere Man 2:41 Michelle 2:39 In My Life 2:23 Girl 2:26 Paperback Writer 2:14 Eleanor Rigby 2:04 Yellow Submarine 2:33
6	The Beatles	1967-1970		2	1973	Apple	Rock
1967-1970 The Beatles Release: 1973 Label: Apple Genre: Rock Duration: 1:37:22 Discs: 2 Date Added: 11 Nov 2009 Comments: Summary: Even as the Beatles began heading toward an inevitable breakup, their prolific ways continued; this two-disc look back only skims the surface of their later achievements. Excerpts from "Sgt. Pepper", "Magical Mystery Tour", the white album, "Abbey Road", and "Let It Be" compete for space with classic singles that do as much or more to prove their eclecticism: the epic ballad "Hey Jude," the plaintive "Strawberry Fields Forever," straight rock & roll of all stripes from the plainspoken "Revolution" and "Get Back" to the surreal "Come Together." Decades after the split, this (and its companion set of 1962-1966 cuts) remains a favored introduction for young listeners and a key sampler for veteran fans. Strawberry Fields Forever 4:04 Penny Lane 2:57 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 2:10 With A Little Help From My Friends 2:35 Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds 3:23 A Day in the Life 4:42 All You Need is Love 3:43 I Am the Walrus 4:32 Hello Goodbye 3:22 The Fool on the Hill 2:56 Magical Mystery Tour 2:45 Lady Madonna 2:13 Hey Jude 7:04 Revolution 3:22 Back In the U.S.S.R. 2:41 While My Guitar Gently Weeps 4:41 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da 3:07 Get Back 3:09 Don't Let Me Down 3:32 The Ballad of John and Yoko 2:57 Old Brown Shoe 3:16 Here Comes the Sun 3:04 Come Together 4:14 Something 2:59 Octopus's Garden 2:48 Let it Be 3:49 Across the Universe 3:42 The Long and Winding Road 3:35

9	Bill Cosby	Why Is There Air?		1	1965	Warner Bros. Records	Comedy
Why Is There Air? Bill Cosby Release: 1965 Label: Warner Bros. Records Genre: Comedy Duration: 39:59 Discs: 1 Date Added: 11 Nov 2009 Summary: Cosby sounds fired up on this live one. "Kindergarten" kicks off the disc in fine fashion with the soon-to-be TV star's spot-on and kid-centered description of early grammar school. Cosby accurately captures the strangeness of a time when a lot of things don't quite make sense and you are constantly being told what to do. "Personal Hygiene" and "Shop" take us through junior high before we arrive at the comedian's tales of young adulthood on the disc's last five tracks. "Hofstra" closes the album with an eight-minute depiction of a very bad college football team before and during another humiliating game. Cosby manages to turn the awful team's terror and suffering into an occasion for laughs. Like other Cosby albums from the '60s, "Why Is There Air?" is full of the comic's highly effective sound effects. "--Fred Cisterna" Kindergarten 8:17 Personal Hygiene 1:04 Shop 3:10 Baby 3:48 Driving in San Francisco 3:45 $75 Car 7:43 The Toothache 4:12 Hofstra 8:00
10	Bill Cosby	Revenge		1	1967	Warner Bros. Records	Comedy
Revenge Bill Cosby Release: 1967 Label: Warner Bros. Records Genre: Comedy Duration: 43:14 Discs: 1 Date Added: 20 Jun 2010 Summary: During the second half of the 1960s, before he became a ubiquitous TV star and commercial pitchman, Bill Cosby was America's most popular--and influential--standup comic. Unlike the generation of Borscht-Belt funnymen that preceded him, Cosby didn't tell jokes, per se. Instead, he delivered colorful, tightly structured tales drawn from his experiences as a child and a parent, adopting a multitude of voices to portray the colorful array of characters who populated the Philadelphia neighborhood in which he grew up. Cosby's 1967 album "Revenge" is awash in bittersweet, hilarious accounts of snowball fights, scary monster movies, and youthful one-upsmanship. "--Scott Schinder" Revenge 6:06 Two Daughters 6:06 Two Brothers 2:55 The Tank 1:38 Smoking 2:54 Wives 2:39 Cool Covers 4:26 9th Street Bridge 5:15 Buck, Buck 9:13 Planes 2:02

Don't Fence Me In: Songs of the Wide Open Spaces Bing Crosby Release: 1946 Label: Decca Genre: Pop Duration: 27:35 Discs: 5 Date Added: 11 Nov 2009 Summary: Pistol Packin' Mama Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen and his Orchestra 2:59 Vict'ry Polka Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen and his Orchestra 2:44 Don't Fence Me In Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen and his Orchestra 3:04 Pistol Packin' Mama Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen and his Orchestra 2:59 Goodbye, Little Darlin', Goodbye Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter Eight 2:36 Be Honest With Me Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter Eight 2:49 You Are My Sunshine Bing Crosby 2:14 Ridin' Down the Canyon Bing Crosby 2:22 I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes Bing Crosby with Woody Herman and his Woodchoppers 3:08 I Only Want a Buddy — Not a Sweetheart Bing Crosby 2:40
12	The Black Crowes	Shake Your Moneymaker		1	1990	Def American	Rock
Shake Your Moneymaker The Black Crowes Release: 1990 Label: Def American Genre: Rock Duration: 44:40 Discs: 1 Date Added: 11 Nov 2009 Summary: Few young bands have embraced classic rock as fully as the Black Crowes. Their debut album features a bar-band stomp rooted in the back catalogs of the Rolling Stones, Free, the Faces, any number of early-'70s hard rockers. The secret of their success has been singer Chris Robinson's lanky rock-star poses matched with a voice as raw as whisky and as inviting as velvet. Add a healthy rhythm section accentuated by producer (and Rick Rubin protégé) George Drakoulias and you've got the dynamic shuffle of their hits ("Jealous Again" and the title track). While the band clearly likes to party, they're even more convincing as the Sunday-morning comedown of "She Talks to Angels." "--Rob O'Connor" Twice as Hard 4:09 Jealous Again 4:34 Sister Luck 5:10 Could I've Been So Blind 3:43 Seeing Things 5:16 Hard to Handle 3:08 Thick n' Thin 2:40 She Talks to Angels 5:30 Struttin' Blues 4:10 Stare It Cold 6:20
