poster/lyric sheet. Originally released in April 1992, "Check Your Head" was a milestone for Beastie Boys on multiple levels and on the strength of now-classic singles and videos 'So What'cha Want', 'Pass The Mic', 'Gratitude' and 'Jimmy James', "Check Your Head" stormed the U.S. Top 10, ultimately returning Beastie Boys to hard-touring, platinum-selling status, and setting the band up for the pop cultural dominance it would achieve in the decade to come.  (less)

the trenchant nature of bubbly-on-the-surface pop tunes such as the U.S. Top 20 single "Perfect Way" ("You want a margin of error for two") and "The Word Girl" ("The girl was never real / She stands for your abuse"). With veteran Aretha/Dusty/Bee Gees cohort Arif Mardin on board for several cuts, and contributions by pop subversives such as Fred Maher and Robert Quine, Cupid remains a classic of hyperintelligent post-new-wave pop funk. --Rickey Wright  (less)

proven himself as a legitimate industry player, generating hits like 2006’s chart-topping 'YOU' and the infectious 'GET IT SHAWTY' which saw Top two placement last year. The latter was spawned from his gold-selling sophomore disc, Street Love. In Summer of 2008, Lloyd returns with his third effort, Lessons In Love. The hard-driving lead-in single, 'How We Do It' featuring Ludacris, a party track written by Lloyd and Wood Works and produced by Baby Boy & Superkidd, cleared the way for his new smash follow-up single, 'Girls Around The World' featuring Lil Wayne. Lloyd also enlisted some additional heat working with Polow Da Don and the team of Tricky & Dream 'Umbrella' & 'Bed'. Lloyd is ready to embrace maturity. With a successful recording career, obv...  (less)

identity crisis when lead singer Dawn Robinson left the band in 1997. In 2003 the band was able to regain their equilibrium after Rhonda Bennett, a former regular on the Jamie Foxx Show, joined founding members Terry Ellis and Cindy Herron in the line-up after talks with Robinson and other original member Maxine Jones fell through. Though Robinson’s dash and sass is sorely missed, this new configuration blends pristine vocal arrangements and close jazzy harmonies that approaches some of the original band’s best moments. While there’s some real gems on the disc--like the coy-but-clever "Ooh Boy," the arch ache of "Dissed Him," and the spiteful "All You See," which is as sneering as anything Missy Elliot is putting out--much of the disc just doesn't li...  (less)

talented, charming. Their self-titled debut CD was a top 20 hit on the Billboard 200 and peaked at number seven on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Chart. Their images graced fanzine covers month after month and they created a frenzy everywhere they went. They even caused the shut down of a Minneapolis mall when some 2000 fans rushed the stage during a free concert there. After a seemingly unending round of tours and promotional appearances and a successful alliance with the Disney phenomenon known as High School Musical, the five Breeding brothers of B5, consisting of Dustin 19, Kelly 18, Patrick 16, Carnell 15 and Bryan 13, are back, all grown up and showing off a new mature sound. Their sophomore album is set for release on Diddy’s Bad Boy Records and the title, ...  (less)

the country music scene of the 1950s and beyond. A Kentucky-born Florida resident until his recent death, Gary Stewart was revered by Texas country music fans. Johnny Rodriguez hit the country music scene in 1973 with his Top 10 hit "Pass Me By (If You're Only Passing Through)."

vocals. The 4-song EP is slated for an Asia-only release, with a full-album due for domesic release in 2007, but may find its way into distribution channels here, we’re told. His signature acoustic/pop/rock with layered vocal harmonies is still there, but with “Bridge,?there is an urgency, an edge, and a bigger message, yet with a pop/rock accessibility that make each one of these songs radio-ready hits!  (less)

to the early 1950's, the golden era of country music. The songs were recorded in Nashville, Tennessee resulting in a fusion of even handed honky tonk and western swing that Durwood learned as a boy in the Lone Star State. Each performance is the real thing, not rock music that calls itself country and ain't.  (less)
