Supergroups some times look better on paper than they do in the flesh. Some times they just don't equal the sum of the parts. Who ever thought to put together The Highwaymen was a freaking genius! Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, & Kris Kristofferson on one stage, in the same group, you know it had to be good, right? These four gentleman embodied the soul of Outlaw Country. If you like anyone of the Country Music Legends that are in this band you absolutely must have this show in your collection!

It's no secret I love Chick Corea's music. I have featured quite a few recordings from Chick in many incarnations. This recording with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra is fabulous. With the larger band Chick has expanded the arrangements for extra instrumentation. The vocalizations of Sissel Vera Petterson add a unique flavor as well.

More Spanish Guitar flavored Jazz from the master Al Di Meola. Al's step away from the electric guitar came from necessity. He has suffered hearing damage from playing at loud volumes and has tinnitus. The acoustic guitar gives him less discomfort than an electric. Al's style of playing was a huge influence on the Heavy Metal genre, influencing many Shredders like Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, and James Murphy (Death, Testament, Obituary, Konkra) who recorded a version of Di Meola's "Race with Devil on Spanish Highway" on his solo album. This recording is highly recommended for all lovers of guitar driven music, Jazz, Metal, Rock or other.

02 - Mr. Crowley
03 - Rock 'n' Roll Rebel
04 - Bark at the Moon
05 - Revelation (Mother Earth)
06 - Steal Away The Night

Ozzy Osbourne vocals
Jake E. Lee guitar
Bob Daisley bass
Tommy Aldridge drums
Don Airey keyboards

Another great pick from Rosebud's Ozzy Osbourne collection. The Bark At The Moon World Tour was a pretty rough one for Ozzy who was still dealing with the loss of his friend and guitarist Randy Rhoads. The bands line-up changed a couple times during the tour with Don Costa, Pete Way and Bob Daisley taking turns on bass, Tommy Aldridge and Carmine Appice taking turns on the drums, Don Airey and Lindsay Bridgewater at the keyboards, Jake E. Lee on guitar would be the only constant member. When the tour hit Detroit the line-up had shifted, my friend Gypsy Dan bought a program and it had paper inserts to explain the line up changes as the program featured a different band than was on stage. Ozzy's drug and alcohol abuse grew. He would some times be too inebriated to give a decent vocal performance. That being said Ozzy sounds really good here on this all too short recording. So all Ozzy & Sabbath fans should add this one to their collections.

After Steve Walsh left Kansas he released a solo album called Schemer, Dreamer recorded with the help of members of Kansas. After that he formed the band Streets with future Kansas bassist Billy Greer. The band released 2 albums before disbanding and Steve Walsh's return to a reformed Kansas. This Pre-FM recording includes the unreleased Streets track "Shake Down" which makes it a must have for fans of Steve Walsh, Streets or Kansas for that matter.
