David Crosby's debut solo album, If I Could Only Remember My Name is a one-shot wonder of dreamy but ominous California ambience. The songs range from brief snapshots of inspiration (the angelic chorale-vocal showcase on " Orleans" & the a cappella closer, I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here) to the full-blown, rambling western epic " Cowboy Movie, & there are absolutely no false notes struck or missteps taken. No one before or since has gotten as much mileage out of a wordless vocal as Crosb ...

Over the course of three discs, VOYAGE neatly navigates the long, rich career of David Crosby. Though he's best known as one-third of Woodstock-era folk-rock harmonists Crosby, Stills & Nash, the man with the angelic voice & the walrus moustache boasts a resume whose high points extend well beyond that association. VOYAGE doesn't stint on CSN (and sometimes Y) material, but the journeys into his early days with the Byrds, his solo albums, duo recordings with Graham Nash, & latter-day work wi ...

Documenting the five years David Essex spent at CBS during the mid-'70s, The Best of David Essex is the best ever document of the halcyon days when just about anything with his name on it was guaranteed a roost near the top of the U.K. chart. Opening with the biggest one of the lot, 1975's U.K. chart-topping " Hold Me Close, it then marches resolutely (if not chronologically) through a hit parade that is almost unparalleled, for quality if nothing else. From 1973's immortal Rock On" to 1977's " ...

Taking his career out of the world of Nigel Kennedy & into the realm of Twelve Girls Band & other flashy "spectacle" acts, David Garrett's self-titled album from 2009 emphasizes the classically arranged rock & pop numbers from his repertoire with a handful of familiar & true classical pieces thrown in. This American release was launched with a large television commercial campaign & is compiled from two British releases, 2007's Virtuoso & 2008's Encore. The big attractions are Garrett ...

By the time of David Gilmour's solo debut, he had not only established himself several times over as an underrated, powerful guitarist in Pink Floyd, but as a remarkably emotional singer, his soothing approach perfectly suited to such songs as " Wish You Were Here." The self-titled album, recorded with journeyman bassist Rick Wills & Sutherland Brothers drummer Willie Wilson, later to be part of the touring Floyd lineup for its Wall dates, isn't a deathless collection of music in comparison to ...

' Live In Gdansk' is taken from Gilmour's last gig on his 2006 ' On An Island' tour, a show in Gdansk, Poland to celebrate Poland's 1980 revolution. It was notable as being the only show of the tour to contain the song 'A Great Day For Freedom', from Pink Floyd's 1994 album, ' The Division Bell'. ' On An Island' is played here in its entirety, along with a collection of Pink Floyd live staples such as ' Comfortably Numb' & ' Echoes'. ...

This is a simple repackage of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's first two solo albums in a cardboard sleeve. The X2 series does feature the remastered versions, but there is no substantial discount for purchasing them this way. Musically, these records range all over the place. The first of them, the self-titled one, is easily the better of the two because it provides a logical extension of the work Gilmour was doing with Floyd at the time. About Face is a much more polished affair & is inc ...

This follow-up to David Gilmours late 70s debut is a Bob Ezrin-produced post-WALL effort, and as such it incorporates the harder sounds Gilmour had become accustomed to during the WALL sessions. Written and released around the time of Roger Waters exit from Pink Floyd, this album foreshadows the Floyds future musical direction. Combining layered vocals with a heavily looped guitar sound, "Until We Sleep" begins ABOUT FACE with an almost Byrds-like quality, while the
