Lee Phillip
 Little Moon $15.98 Grant Lee Phillips is an excellent singer and songwriter. Whether it was back in the 90's with Grant Lee Buffalo ( I discovered them with the Might Joe Moon album, which is one of my all time 10 best albums), or as a solo performer today, GLP has written some mighty fine songs. Little Moon could be the preeminent effort of them all! Certainly more mellow than anything he's done other than Virginia Creeper, this album is nonetheless a listening pleasure. Some of my early stand out favorites are Buried Treasure, Older Now, Good Morning Happiness, and Nightbirds, but really they are all good. Trust me. There are even some hints of the old GLB stuff in songs like Good Morning Happiness (the guitar sound particularly). But as good as this album is, there's even more. The CD comes with a web offer from YEPROC records for some bonus material. I checked this out and found out that five demo verions of some of the songs are available. And they are downright awesome! They're mostly accoustic versions, except for the Little Moon, which is just a different version. These demo versions sound great and are a wonderful counterpart to the actual versions of the songs on the CD. You will not be dissapointed. Buy this CD!  Jerry Lee Lewis Chronicles / Sam Phillips, Johnny Cash, Dick Clark $29.99 This is an incredible buy for the Jerry Lee Lewis super-fan! It's not a performance based DVD, it's the entire interviews from the documentary, "I am What I am" ('89?). Here we have the full interviews from family, colleagues, and friends from the music industry. Curiously, this DVD is missing the interviews with Jimmy Swaggart, but everything else is there. Again, if you're looking for performance footage this will disappoint you (as there are only four previously unseen performances). However, on top of all the interviews, we also get the full documentary. A GREAT buy at an unbelievable price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
