FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44.1 kHz | Time – 1:13:41 minutes | 810 MB | Genre: Jazz
Official Digital Download – Source: Bandcamp | @ International Anthem
Drummer/producer Makaya McCraven brings together “future-is-now drumming” with his roots in jazz and world music to form his unique and powerful sound. Regarded as “one of Chicago’s most versatile and in demand drummers” (Chicago Reader) and described by Downbeat Magazine as “exceptional on the drums,” Makaya McCraven moves between genres at lightning speed. “In The Moment” is nearly 48 hours of live improvised performance recorded at 1 venue over 12 months and 28 shows – culled, cut, rendered, and remixed into 19 potent pieces of organic beat music. This is music made by a 21st century man who sees no need to suppress his hip hop chops or rock spirit in an effort to fit in and be dubbed a jazz drummer. (more…)

Lianne La Havas – Is Your Love Big Enough? {Deluxe Edition} (2012)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44.1 kHz | Time – 1:02:49 minutes | 657 MB | Genre: Alternative
Official Digital Download – Source: HDTracks | @ Nonesuch
Following critically acclaimed EPs, sold-out shows worldwide and a BBC Sound of 2012 nomination, songstress Lianne La Havas has emerged as one of the U.K.’s shining new prospects. The honey toned vocalist captivated audiences with her appearance on Later … with Jools Holland in 2011 and excitement quickly spread. Her full-length debut, Is Your Love Big Enough? is a profound statement about the many facets of love, blending elements of pop, folk and soul. The material on the album ranges from the lyrically compelling opener “Don’t Wake Me Up” to the stunning piano tune “Gone.” Is Your Love Big Enough? has already been praised byThe Washington Post as not only the best debut of the year, but arguably one of the year’s best albums.

Genre: Blues | @ APO Records
Analogue Productions is proud to present the definitive album by Jimmy Rogers, one of the three founders of Muddy Water’s first and greatest band, and a Chicago blues giant in his own right.
Jimmy, whose evocative and earthy guitar sound embodies Chicago Blues, is recognized as a writer of Chicago blues songs second only to Willie Dixon and is regarded as one of the greatest Chicago blues singers by fans and musical legends alike, including Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who credits Jimmy as being one of his three greatest musical influences along with Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry.
As the musical genre Jimmy pioneered is gaining mass popularity in the nineties, Jimmy’s classic guitar work has been heard by millions in television commercials featuring songs such as Rock Me by Muddy Waters and I Ain’t Superstitiousby Howlin’ Wolf.
Jimmy is joined on this album by an all-star group comprised of the legendary pianist Johnnie Johnson, who was the backbone of all Chuck Berry’s greatest hits, harmonica virtuoso Carey Bell, bassist Dave Myers, drummer Ted Harvey and lead guitarist Jimmy D. Lane. This recording won a W.C. Handy Award for the Best Traditional Blues Album in 1995. (more…)

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Live Rust
Vinyl | LP Cover (1:1) | FLAC + cue | 24bit/96kHz | 1,58 Gb
Mastered By David Gold
Label: Reprise Records/2RX 2296 | Release: 1979 | Genre: Country-Rock
All the kudos Neil Young earned for Rust Never Sleeps he lost for Live Rust, the double-LP live album released four months later. Live Rust was the soundtrack to Young’s concert film Rust Never Sleeps (he had wanted to give it that title, but Reprise vetoed the idea, fearing confusion with the earlier album), and likewise was recorded October 22, 1978, at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. But much of the Rust Never Sleeps album had been recorded on the same tour, and Live Rust repeated four songs from that disc; besides, since Young had released the career retrospective Decade in 1977, critics felt he was unfairly recycling his older material and repeating his new material. In retrospect, however, Live Rust, now a single 74-minute CD, comes off as an excellent Neil Young live album and career summary, starting with the early song “Sugar Mountain” and running through then-new songs like “My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)” and “Powderfinger.” Young is effective in both his acoustic folksinger and hard-rocking Crazy Horse bandleader modes. The various distractions of the concert itself and the film, such as the pretentious props and cowled roadies, are absent, and what’s left is a terrific Neil Young concert recording.

Lennon-Plastic Ono Band - Shaved Fish
Vinyl | LP Cover (1:1) | FLAC + cue | 24bit/96kHz | 826mb
Mastered At Master Cutting Room
Label: Capitol Records/SW-3421 | Release: 1975 | This Issue: 1978 | Genre: Pop-Rock
At the time of its release, Shaved Fish didn’t attract as much attention as any compilation of John Lennon’s work would have either a few years before or a few years after. Lennon had just issued the somewhat disappointing genre album, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and was only a year from Walls and Bridges, not one of his strongest albums, and had also grown somewhat stale as a public figure. Drawing on his singles up to that point in his career, it shows a punkier, more defiant vision of Lennon’s work than subsequent compilations, which would dwell on a broader cross section of his output. “Happy Christmas” and “Imagine” are moments of peace in the company of artifacts from his political/agitprop (“Power to the People”) and primal scream (“Mother”) periods, and his attempts at topical songwriting (“Woman Is the Nigger of the World”), and “Whatever Gets You Through the Night,” which was unique to this LP, was a better piece of mainstream rock & roll than any of the late-’50s numbers that he ground out for Rock ‘n’ Roll. This collection, which was the last LP release to come from Lennon in any form until Double Fantasy five years later, was the only compilation of his work released in Lennon’s own lifetime, and has since been supplanted by various posthumous assemblies of his music.

It would be natural to assume the spawning ground for American blues music, Memphis Tennessee, would serve as the fuse that lit the explosion of what many regard as the artistic zenith of the Blues as a pure original art form. It was during the decade from 1945-55 when a seemingly
endless line of shouters and honkers etched their culture into the American landscape.
