Neil Young joins Crosby, Stiils and Nash for their first album together. An absolute folky rock classic!

Burn, baby, burn! Monster disco hit and a Tom Moulton Mix!

Produced by Patrick Adams

The album features an array of well-known guest musicians, including David Crosby and Graham Nash, who contributed vocals. Ringo Starr drums on two tracks under the pseudonym "Richie,"[3] which he also used for his contribution to the London Sessions album by American bluesman Howlin' Wolf, recorded in England the same year. Stills' album is also the only album in rock and roll history to which both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix supplied guitar work. Hendrix died before the album was released—Stills dedicated the album to "James Marshall Hendrix."

Soulful, uplifting spiritual stuff from two of soul music's finest vocalists. All star Atlantic line-up - Bernard Purdie, Arif Mardin arrangements, Hubert Laws, Eric Gale and more. Classic!

McCook recorded extensively for Bunny Lee, and ‘Super Star Disco Rockers’ is a strong showcase for his meditational style of playing. The track ‘Lamb’s Bread Herb’, a reworked version of Yabby You’s ‘Death Trap’ with an overdubbed ‘steppers’ drum pattern, is a mystical highlight:Bunny Lee: “When Tommy join up with Bobby Ellis on trumpet, that is when he develop what we call his ‘far east’ sound. And especially when he play flute like on ‘Death Trap’ it give it that ‘far east’ sound. Or sometimes Tommy play clarinet for a different flavour. But mostly he play the tenor sax with that deeper, lower tone, like on ‘Tommy’s Rocking Vibration’ – hear that big horn there!”

Backed by The Bar-Kays and featuring epic versions of "Walk On By" and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix". Awesome!

It's been 14 long years since the ground-breaking "Voodoo" LP, the most revolutionary soul artist of our generation D'Angelo returns with this amazing new album "Black Messiah"!!!

The provocative title is an empowering message that is politically charged and is a aspirational call.  For us, his songwriting, musicianship and glorious distinct vocals make him one of the greatest soul artists of modern times! 

Produced by D'Angelo with additional contributions from Funkadelic's Kendra Foster, legendary bassist Pino Palladino, Questlove and Q-Tip! 

Amazing, rare, folk-funk from David Crosby of Crosby, Stills and Nash! Seriously deep, coke-fueled West Coast AOR! Recommended! This is also a big, underground cosmic record. You really should own this!
