1974's DREAMS & ALL THAT STUFF is an excellent example of Leo Kottke's mid-period sound, a combination of his early blues & folk influences & the more experimental arenas Kottke explored later on. It's also an excellent example of the whimsy that's informed his entire career, with playful songs like " When Shrimps Learn to Whistle" & " Taking a Sandwich to a Feast" featuring some of his most animated guitar work. As always, there are also undercurrents of melancholy to a few tunes, like "H ...

Retrospective is an 18-track collection that features the bulk of Leon Russell's greatest hits (" Tight Rope, Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms, Lady Blue, Back to the Island"), plus many key album tracks. Since Russell was primarily an album artist, this approach doesn't necessarily do him justice, but for listeners who only want the hits, this will do. However, the double-disc Gimme Shelter: The Best of Leon Russell is a better, more thorough overview & is the one serious fans should acquire ...

The tracks on this two-CD, 31-song anthology, spanning Cohen's career from his 1967 debut album through 2002's Ten New Songs, were chosen by Cohen himself. It could thus be regarded as an accurate mirror of how Cohen sees his own career path & catalog highlights. & there are many of the songs you would expect from any decent Cohen retrospective: " Suzanne, Sisters of Mercy, So Long Marianne, Bird on a Wire, Famous Blue Raincoat, & I'm You're Man, for instance. Still, the balance ...
