Real Men Don't Sing: Crooning in American Culture (Refiguring American Music)

The crooner Rudy Vallée's soft, intimate, and sensual vocal delivery simultaneously captivated millions of adoring fans and drew harsh criticism from those threatened by his sensitive masculinity. Although Vallée and other crooners reflected the gender fluidity of late-1920s popular culture, their challenge to the Depression era's more conservative masculine norms led cultural authorities to stigmatize them as gender and sexual deviants. In Real Men Don't Sing Allison McCracken outlines crooning's history from its origins in minstrelsy through its development as the microphone sound most ass... [Read More]

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: And a Man Called Horse, the Hanging Tree, and Lost

• UPC: 26477291
• Rating: 3.667

This album, originally released on Musicor Records in 1971, features country music's greatest singer paying tribute to one of its legendary songwriters. The honoree is Leon Payne, a gifted instrumentalist who topped the country charts in 1949 with his recording of "I Love You Because," but who is remembered today for the thousands of country songs he penned, among them the standards "They'll Never Take Her Love From Me," "Blue Side of Lonesome," "Take Me," "Lost Highway," "I Love You Because" and "Things Have Gone To Pieces." Jones, who had had hits with two Payne songs in 1965, recorded this tribute in the year following Payne's death.With such a wealth of material to choose from, Jones and producer Pappy Daily had little trouble finding ten stellar numbers for this album. Tracks include rerecordings of Jones' two Payne-penned hits, "Take Me" and "Things Have Gone to Pieces," as well as "With Half A Heart," and "The Selfishness In Man," the last a maudlin heartstring-puller that would come across as ludicrous from a lesser talent but is profoundly moving in Jones' hands. One of Jones' best tribute albums.

Full title: 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Jimmy Cliff.Personnel include: Jimmy Cliff (vocals, guitar).Compilation Producers: Mike Ragogna; Dana G. Smart.Liner Note Author: Dave Thompson.Recording information: 1969 - 1983.Already an established star in Jamaica by the time of "Wonderful World, Beautiful People," his first international hit, Jimmy Cliff was, for many, the face of reggae in the years before the advent of Bob Marley. This volume of THE MILLENNIUM COLLECTION series contains a well-chosen variety of songs from the singer's heyday in the late '60s and early '70s.Cliff's under-appreciated protest song, "Viet Nam," is here, as are a trio of better-known songs from the seminal reggae movie THE HARDER THEY COME, including his version of "You Can Get It If You Really Want," originally a hit for Desmond Dekker. "Bongo Man" is a percussion-heavy venture into Rasta territory (interestingly for a reggae singer, Cliff is a Muslim), while his version of Cat Stevens' "Wild World," produced by the songwriter, predated Stevens' own hit release. While it's by no means an exhaustive compilation, THE BEST OF... highlights both Cliff's songwriting abilities and his skill at spanning both reggae and pop worlds.

Includes liner notes by Don Kennedy.Digitally remastered by Gary Rice.Trying to capture Louis Armstrong's best on a single CD is a hopeless task. Even a brief perusal of the many "best of" collections on the market shows that Armstrong had too many sides to pin down with a few tracks. There is Armstrong, the cornet virtuoso, playing with the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens; there's Armstrong, the gruff-voiced singer, who could turn a throwaway lyric into poetry; there is Armstrong, the pop star, fronting a big band; and there is Armstrong, the "Ambassador of Goodwill," performing with his touring All-Stars.Despite a cover photo from much later, Intersound's BEST OF wisely sticks to a single period of Armstrong's career-namely his early days fronting small groups. The booklet provides little information about the particular recordings, but they are primarily taken from the Hot Fives and Sevens of the late 1920s. These are the performances that made Armstrong a star-"Mahogany Hall Stomp," "Cornet Chop Suey," and "Heebie Jeebies," his first foray into scat. Digital remastering has rendered these songs in a slightly different light, punching up the sound while adding a "modern" touch of reverb. In any event, these recordings are required listening for every red-blooded American.
