But with Bingham there's a difference: he actually seems authentic. Although a tender 25 at the time he released MECSALITO, Bingham had been living on the road since his mid-teens, working the rodeo, and gathering hard luck stories. That experience is reflected in Bingham's surprisingly intimate, powerful songs; his textured, grit-flecked voice; and his penchant for mixing rock, folk, hard country, and Mexican flavors. The result is a first effort that stands out from the pack.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/02\/2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ryan Bingham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586363289833,"sku":"46X7SJ-9H15-00","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/ryan-bingham-mescalito-180-gram-vinyl-2-lps_UzclO.jpg?v=1747143148"},{"product_id":"frankie-valli-romancing-the-60s","title":"ROMANCING THE '60S","description":"Personnel: Hugh McCracken, Jeff Mironov (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Ram?n Stagnaro (nylon-string guitar); Stacey Shames (harp); Karen Karlsrud, Crystal Garner, Nancy McAlhaney, Cecilia Hobbs Gardner, Maxine Roach, Sarah Adams, Cenovia Cummins , Desiree Elsevier, Joyce Hammann, Lois Martin, Peter Winograd, Jean Ingraham, Avril Brown, Katherine LiVolsi Stern, Jan Mullen, Ricky Sortomme, Yuri Vodovoz, Adrian Benjamin, Jonathan Dinklage (violin); Diane Barere, Daniel Miller, Ellen Westerman, Jeanne LeBlanc, Richard Locker, Eugene J.

As one might expect from Valli, he leans toward the pop and R\u0026amp;B of his own era (an era he helped define, incidentally, with the music of the Four Seasons).\nBut instead of relying on past glories, Valli turns to Brill Building pop, reworking tunes such as Leiber-Spector's \"Spanish Harlem\" and Bacharach-David's \"This Guy's In Love With You.\" Those looking for light, breezy pop of yore should know that the productions are heavy on strings and full arrangements, but Valli's voice, which can still hit a decent falsetto, holds up admirably.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/02\/2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Frankie Valli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44587128553705,"sku":"L8GUXA-WNOL-00","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/frankie-valli-romancing-the-60s_E3O3B_b33f6e0a-e051-4599-a613-e9b2c98bda27.jpg?v=1759042314"},{"product_id":"sound-of-silver-us-reissue-vinyl-lp","title":"LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver [Vinyl LP – US Reissue]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eJames Murphy, aka LCD Soundsystem, returns with his highly anticipated new album Sound of Silver on DFA Records. Murphy recorded Sound of Silver, the follow-up to the massively acclaimed eponymous debut, over the summer of 2006 at an upstate New York farm with the help of the odd periodic visitor from the city (live band members Nancy Whang, Pat Mahoney, and Tyler Pope). Between the silver foil-covered walls, nine tracks were crafted into what will surely be regarded as one of the pinnacle albums of 2007.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eLCD Soundsystem: Nancy Whang (vocals); Justin Chearno (guitar); Amy Kimball, Lorenza Ponce (violin); David Gold (viola); Jane Scarpantoni (cello); Morgan Wiley (piano); Tyler Pope (bass instrument); James Murphy (bass guitar); Pat Mahoney (drums); Marcus Lambkin, Eric Broucek (hand claps). James Murphy is well-known as half of the New York-based production duo DFA (who have lent their distinctive touch to songs from artists as diverse as Gorillaz, the Rapture, and N.E.R.D.). Aside from creating the modern template for indie dance music since the early 2000's, Murphy has been busy writing music under his solo moniker, LCD Soundsystem. His sophomore effort, SOUND OF SILVER, picks up where the debut left of, expanding an already diverse set of influences and honing the songwriting craft into a thematically cohesive whole. As wryly noted on LCD Soundsystem's debut 2002 single, \"Losing My Edge,\" in the underground music arms race, aging hipsters are losing ground against young upstarts who are (perhaps) unaware of their own influences. And if influences are the stuff with which post-millennial musicians are made, Murphy has trumped us all. Touching on reference points ranging from disco, krautrock, Bowie, house, and post-punk, to singer-songwriter types, SOUND OF SILVER is a veritable catalog of left-field cool. Leading off with the slow-boil, hypnotic opener, \"Get Innocuous\"--which sounds a bit like a reprise of \"Losing My Edge\" crossed with Kraftwerk's \"The Robots\"--the album moves from dance-floor stormers to plaintive piano numbers without batting an eye. On \"North American Scum,\" Murphy lampoons the often mistaken idea that LCD Soundsystem is a U.K. act; his nasal vocal echoing Jonathan Richman as he declares \"for those of you who think we're from England--we're not.\" As humorously self-effacing as he is, SOUND OF SILVER also shows Murphy's growth as a songwriter. On the album's closer \"New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down,\" he laments the passing of the old New York, \"To the cops who are bored once they've run out of crime\/New York you're perfect don't change a thing.\" It's a fitting tribute that holds up against the countless other great songs written about the Big Apple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eA1        Get Innocuous!\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Time To Get Away\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        North American Scum\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        Someone Great\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC1        All My Friends\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC2        Us V Them\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD1        Watch The Tapes\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD2        Sound Of Silver\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD3        New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eLabel: Dfa Records\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCatalog: 2164\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.

In Hurley's case, however, that's a good thing; you wouldn't want his brand of rustic yet eccentric folk to get slick or diluted, and it's not exactly as if he's been overexposed on disc over the course of his lengthy career. This is relaxed, earthy eclectic folk with a sitting-on-the-porch feel, the recording so sparse that you often feel as though you're listening to a solo or nearly solo performance, though in fact three other musicians do help out multi-instrumentalist Hurley over the course of the record. Although it's grounded in traditional Americana type acoustic folk, it's not reverently traditionalist, adding touches like gutbucket tremolo electric guitar on \"Dying Crapshooter's Blues,\" electric piano on \"Lonesome Graveyard,\" and (on \"El Dorado\") almost subliminal backup vocals by Tara Jane O'Neil. Hurley sings his tunes with a wizened voice and an off-the-cuff narrative flavor, but it's more structured and cogent material than that of many other (usually younger) folky musicians whose songs owe something to a stream-of-consciousness sort of style. American folk idioms were so deeply etched into Hurley's DNA by the time of this recording that it's not possible to pigeonhole him into any one or two of them; certainly there's some Delta blues, but there's also some country and Appalachian music, none of the forms taking particular supremacy over others. This is the kind of music you'd love to hear on a lazy night after a full home-cooked meal; it's comfortable and homey, but at the same time accomplished and thoughtful despite its casual air, emanating unforced, ingratiating charm. ~ Richie Unterberger\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/02\/2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Michael Hurley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590685815017,"sku":"7U7WDR-5VBJ-00","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/michael-hurley-ancestral-swamp_h1tLw.jpg?v=1759129371"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/collections\/music-releases-10-02-2007.oembed","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
