MOLOCH-S/T Produced by Don Nix (widely credited as a key architect of the "Memphis Sound"), this hard-hitting collection of bluesy acid rock first appeared on Stax subsidiary Enterprise in 1970. Featuring the outstanding guitar playing of the late Lee Baker (later to play with Alex Chilton) and the original version of "Going Down" (covered by Freddie King, Jeff Beck, JJ Cale and others), the album makes its CD debut here, complete with two rare bonus tracks, and is an essential purchase for all fans of blues-influenced rock and roll. 17.99 |

Terry Manning-Home Sweet Home- Featuring the recording debut of Big Star's Chris Bell, this outrageously enjoyable blend of psychedelic rock, Memphis soul and dirty R&B kicks off with one of the most audacious and successful Beatles covers ever. Terry Manning was a key figure in '60s Memphis music-making -- from his experience at Stax (learning from the likes of Isaac Hayes, Ike & Tina Turner, Willie Mitchell, Booker T. Jones, Eddie Floyd, Al Green, Otis Redding, The Boxtops, Percy Sledge, The Staple Singers, Mississippi John Hurt, etc.) he became the Ardent Studios engineer/producer, and co-owner of the Ardent Records label that released the Big Star albums. Originally released on Stax's Enterprise label, this record is Manning's only solo work (he engineered, produced, and played almost all of the instruments) and features a feast of fuzz guitar, sweet vocals and funky rhythms that makes its long overdue CD debut here (complete with full liner notes and three bonus tracks), Home Sweet Home is a tongue-in-cheek blast from start to finish, and guaranteed to thrill fans. 17.99 |

Chris Bell -I Am The Cosmos-LP A long time coming for this one! Until now, the only solo Chris Bell vinyl one could have was the I am the Cosmos/You and Your sister 45 on Car records, which was a tough one to get your paws on. But, the 4 Men with Beards guys have made available, the Rykodisc posthumous LP by Mr. Bell, I Am the Cosmos, available on 180 gram vinyl. Sounds amazing! if you havent heard this album before, dont hesitate any longer! Sublime, epic pop from the Big Star songwriter/guitarist. Essential!

The Coach and Four-The Great Escape-CD A new one from The Coach and Four! Lots o' guitars on this one! A sound that simultaneously conjures up the classic (late 80s) era Sonic Youth, the songwriting of past UK legends such as Echo and the Bunnymen with some 90s indie rock aesthetic thrown in for good measure. If you like swirling guitars and sound coming at you from all directions, this CD is for you! On Memphis' own Makeshift records, of course.

Esque-Everyone's Playing-CD They want you to know it is pronounced "Esk". Anywho, remember those clangy bass rockers recorded in Manchester, UK for Factory Records when the 70s became the 80s? Well, this is that stuff, except it was recorded over by the Mrs. Winnner's Fried Chicken restaurant on Union here in Memphis. Yowza!

Ya dont need anymore folks than that, ya know?

William Lee Ellis-God's Tattoos-CD Music writer turned music maker returns with another album full of influence, inspiration and perspiration. Produced by Jim Dickinson, it has all the flavors you would expect from a Southern gentleman and his guitar. A little bit Blues and a little bit Rhumba. Yes, you read that right.

The Grifters-The Doink Years-CD Sometime when the 80s became 90s, before messy hair and cardigans, before smelling the teen spirit, four average joes from Memphis created a racket and recorded said racket themselves. Out of necessity, they accidently took part, via a homemade rumble, in what would become known as "lo-fi" or "indie rock". One of the few real deals. Not to be confused with the insipid wimpy rock music about "feelings". Anyway, this stuff is best described by the music itself. 8 classic, long out of print tunes from their Doink! records era originally only released on vinyl.
$8.99 |

Shangri-La Projects-B-Sides-CD Out of the vaults of Shangri-La projects comes 8 long out of print tunes originally on vinyl and now on a nice shiny compact disc. You get gems and nuggets from The Grifters, Simple Ones, The Hot Monkey, Doug Easley Experience, and Citizens Utilities. Plus these tunes were originally on 7", which meant getting up every two minutes to flip it over. Now you can relax in your favorite bean bag and listen to them from beginning to end and not have to get up. $8.99 |

Snowglobe -Oxytocin CD
Fans of Snowglobe's unique brand of psychedelic folk pop should probably consider "Oxytocin" a Brad Postlethwaite solo record, although 3 of the 4 members of the band appear here. Alas, Tim Regan does not feature here, but this is still a fine effort, and maybe the best sounding "Snowglobe" record yet. The Memphis Flyer did a nice write-up if ya want some particulars on the line-up and the band's precarious future. Let's hope they stick around!

Holly-Fearless and Free-CD
Holly, aka Holly Cole, is a songstress with a sound that isnt from around these parts. An epic flowing sound that may remind you of the expansive West Texas soundscapes of say, Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Lovely acoustic strumming, songs and singing with an undercurrent of atmospheric twangs and echos of saws and other almost undecipherable sounds. Easily one of the most mature and accomplished outings for the local Makeshift label.
$8.99 |

Paul Taylor -Open Closed-CD
Memphis' Makeshift Records, the city's most prolific indie rock consortium produces another midtown classic. Features guest appearances by David brookings and Amy Levere $12.99 |
