On that corner when that light turn green, I saw the strangest sight baby baby..........2007-05-10
Truckin' through the Seventies.......2006-06-21
Kaukonen had spent his high school years in Washington, DC, where he and his best friend, Jack Casady, would haunt local blues, folk and jazz clubs. Jorma ended up in Frisco as a charter member of the Airplane and, when the band fired its original bassist, he sent for his old pal to come west.
Though the J&J twosome found immense success with this most adventurous of rock bands, they never lost their love for the rootsy music they had discovered together as teenagers. As Jefferson Airplane took off for higher heights, they began working occasionally on the side as a duo playing the acoustic blues of The Rev. Gary Davis, Jelly Roll Morton and Robert Johnson.
Their first album, recorded live at a club in Berkeley, California, came out in the spring of 1970. That first release was a stripped down affair, spotlighting Kaukonen's virtuosic acoustic finger picking and Casady's inventive contrapuntal electric bass playing. As the Airplane disbanded, Hot Tuna became more than an extracurricular hobby, expanding into a full-bore rock band with a following of its own.
The newly compiled Keep on Truckin' covers the history of Hot Tuna's various incarnations in the `70s. From ample samplings of the band's original acoustic orientation through its evolution to blistering blues rock, this collection resurrects one of the great offshoots of the classic rock era, a band that may never have been able to escape the shadow of its principals' past, but one unquestionably deserving a re-evaluation. --Jim Newsom

Keep on Truckin': The Motown Solo Albums, Vol. 1
Eddie Kendricks Manufacturer: Hip-O Select ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD Similar Items:
ASIN: B000BPGIZ0 Release Date: 2006-11-13 |
Product Description
As Motown groups such as The Temptations and The Supremes moved into the Seventies, their lineups proved to be fluid, and members left to establish solo careers. Three years after David Ruffin was gone from the Temptations lineup, co-lead singer Eddie Kendricks followed him into a solo career. His departure was certainly less acrimonious than Ruffins had been, as evidenced by the fact that all the Tempts gave warm testimonials on the sleeve of All By Myself, his solo debut. Keep On Truckin: The Motown Solo Collection, Vol. 1 collects four of Kendricks early albums All By Myself, People... Hold On, Eddie Kendricks, and For You produced by Frank Wilson. All of them feature both Eddies classic high tenor and his natural voice in beautifully sympathetic settings. Its part of a plan to see all of Kendricks catalogue reissued; these albums were digitally remastered in 2005 from the original master tapes to bring out every last measure of soul goodness. Incredibly, only People... Hold On was ever issued on CD a disc that has long been out of print. This set contains not only Kendricks pop- and R&B chart-topping Keep On Truckin, but also his No.1 R&B smash Shoeshine Boy and the influential dance cuts Date With The Rain and Girl You Need A Change Of Mind. Other treats hidden in the middle grooves of these records are some unexpected surprises, such as covers of Breads classic If, and Jim Croces Time In A Bottle. Less unusual, perhaps, but beautifully rendered, is his cover of Chuck Jacksons Any Day Now. Like his former Tempts partner David Ruffin, Kendricks exited the scene far too early, dying of cancer in October 1992 at the age of 52. Fortunately, he left behind a rich legacy of recordings. As liner note writer Brian Chin observes, In these four albums, a great artist, surrounded by other great artists, is called again to greatness, and responds like a champion.Customer Reviews:
R.I.P. Eddie...Thanks for the great memories!!.......2006-08-29
ALL BY MYSELF, released in April 1971 (#6 R&B, #80 Pop) was Eddie's first solo album after leaving the Temptations. LET'S GO BACK TO DAY ONE is a funky opening with Eddie's vocal multi-layered ala Marvin Gaye! THIS USED TO BE THE HOME OF JOHNNIE MAE was the B-side of IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO SAY GOODBYE (#37 R&B, #88 Pop) and I DID IT ALL FOR YOU, a popular Quiet Storm tune, was the B-side to CAN I (#37 R&B, #101 Pop), another popular Quiet Storm staple also performed by Brenda Holloway and most recently covered by Phil Perry. SOMETHING'S BURNING starts off slow and ends with a funky ending and the Jimmy Webb composition, DIDN'T WE close this set! What's wonderful is that the Temptations' notes to Eddie originally printed on the back of the album are reprinted for this release!
PEOPLE...HOLD ON, with its eye-catching photography by Weldon A. McDougal III, was originally released in May 1972, which fared better on the charts (#13 R&B, #131 Pop). According to the liner notes, Frank Wilson said in an interview for Eddie's ULTIMATE COLLECTION (1998) that it was a concept album dedicated to black America. It opens with IF YOU LET ME (#17 R&B, #66 Pop), originally performed by Jimmy Ruffin. LET ME RUN INTO YOUR LONELY HEART is the funky B-side to EDDIE'S LOVE (#35 R&B, #77 Pop) while on DAY BY DAY, Eddie's vocals are once again multi-layered. GIRL YOU NEED A CHANGE OF MIND is the biggest hit off here (#13 R&B, #87 Pop) with its innovative use of multi-drums throughout the track and still a favorite among club goers. SOMEDAY WE'LL HAVE A BETTER WORLD has a gospel feel to it and reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's HEAVEN HELP US ALL with Eddie singing in his natural register. MY PEOPLE...HOLD ON is a major highlight here with African drums opening the song and on the break and DATE WITH THE RAIN is another dance favorite among today's club goers. I'M ON THE SIDELINE has Eddie's voice once again multi-layered throughout the song and the album closes with JUST MEMORIES, the B-side to IF YOU LET ME and with it's operatic opening, remains another highlight to this album.
EDDIE KENDRICKS (#5 R&B, #18 Pop), released in May 1973, charted higher than the above, especially on the strength of the #1 R&B/Pop hit KEEP ON TRUCKIN', most recently resurrected and remixed by DJ Spinna for the MOTOWN: REMIXED compilation (2005). ONLY ROOM FOR TWO opens the album and the Caribbean-sounding DARLING COME BACK HOME (#26 R&B, #67 Pop), was another hit off here. EACH DAY I CRY A LITTLE is IMO Eddie's finest performance and also a Quiet Storm favorite while CAN'T HELP WHAT I AM is a light tune on being who he is. ANY DAY NOW (originally performed by Chuck Jackson) and NOT ON THE OUTSIDE (originally performed by the Moments) are underrated remakes of soul classics and Eddie makes it his own on both selections and the album closes with WHERE DO YOU GO (BABY), a beautiful Pam Sawyer/Gloria Jones composition about Eddie wondering where his woman is when he isn't there.
This compilation doesn't include BOOGIE DOWN which followed EDDIE KENDRICKS, but according to the liner notes, it will be released in another double-disc set! In the meantime, we get to hear FOR YOU, released November 1974 (#8 R&B, #108 Pop). It opens with the laid-back PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY, while ONE TEAR (#8 R&B, #71 Pop), originally for Marvin Gaye and SHOESHINE BOY (#1 R&B, #18 Pop) became the biggest hits off of this album. DEEP AND QUIET LOVE is an underrated Quiet Storm performance while LET YOURSELF GO is another underrated funk performance. I played this one at one of my parties and the response was amazing! IF YOU THINK (YOU CAN) has great word play throughout the song. IF is a great remake originally performed by Bread and TIME IN A BOTTLE is just as good, originally performed by Jim Croce, which ends the album.
Folks, if you are not by now, this wonderfully packaged 2-CD set will make or renew your interest in Eddie Kendricks, IMO the greatest tenor that ever graced a record!
More More More.......2006-05-11
In a word - EXCELLENT!!.......2006-03-12
But finally, after so very long, some of Eddie's original albums are now available on CD. In this collection, we have four remastered EJK CDs from the 1970s:
ALL BY MYSELF (1971)
PEOPLE...HOLD ON (1972)
EDDIE KENDRICKS (1973)
FOR YOU (1974)
These four albums are chock full of quality material by Eddie, all produced by the team of Frank Wilson and Leonard Caston (except Eddie's debut LP, which was produced by Wilson alone). Looking for early popular cuts by EJK like "Can I", "This Used To Be The Home Of Johnnie Mae", "If You Let Me", "Girl You Need A Change of Mind", "Keep On Truckin'" and "Shoeshine Boy"? Well, like the compilation of hits CDs that Motown has issued previously, those songs are all here...but these are the albums where those choice cuts came from. Chronologically, the album BOOGIE DOWN from late 1973 - early '74 was completed and issued before FOR YOU. But due to the timing of the tracks on that album, BOOGIE DOWN couldn't be included here...but it will be in the next volume of Eddie's works, which will be released later on in '06. Be on the lookout for it.
I am very happy with this collection, and the remastering is nearly flawless. Only complaint I have is the remastering of the exquisite ballad "Each Day I Cry A Little" from the EDDIE KENDRICKS album - a song so hauntingly beautiful, it has to be one of the very best in the entire EJK catalog. However, the way it's mixed here has too much echo, the background singers' vocals are brought so far to the front at times you don't hear much of Eddie, and the strings are a bit overpowering, especially halfway through and towards the end of the song. I have the original vinyl LP and the mix is somewhat different. But other than that, this is a perfect collection of four of Eddie's excellent Motown solo albums. For anyone who has only brought Eddie's greatest hits CDs in the past and craved to have more, this is an absolute MUST for you to own!! Want to know why Eddie is one of the greatest R&B legends of all time and why he will never be forgotten? Song after song on this set shows the listener that this was no ordinary singer - here's the proof. Listen and enjoy.

Album Description
Keep On Truckin' is Caustic Resin's sixth full length album since their incarnation over a decade ago. The album was recorded at Audio-Lab in Garden City, Idaho by Jon Mullin (Doug Martsch, The Suffocation Keep), with some additional recording done at The Space in Ballard, WA, and tracking & mixing at Hall of Justice in Seattle by Phil Ek (Modest Mouse, Les Savy Fav, et al.) & Brett Netson. "Keep On Truckin'" was produced by Caustic Resin & Jim Roth, with Jim engineering. The band consists now of Netson (guitar and vocals), Mike Johnson (bass and guitar), and Pat Perkins (drums). Netson explains the difference between Keep On Truckin, and previous releases: "The last two were sort of experiments. This one is more grim, sort of outwardly vicious. Not as self-involved. Been living in LA off and on, there's different kinds of things that are in your face on a daily basis. A lot less space. A variety of dangers. The record kind of reflects that." Tom Romich and Jim ! Roth (Voodoo Gearshift, The Delusions) round out the artists involved, with Tom performing vocals on "8th St." and bass on other tracks, and Jim playing steel guitar on "Message to Shareholders" and "Viva La Causa!" with the former also receiving treatment from him on moog.Customer Reviews:

Caustic continue to astound........2003-06-27
It seems like bands growing and changing is a problem for some people, but who wants a repeat of another album? That just seems like a dumb way to listen to music.
after listening to this record a few times I now believe this to be the best record Brett and company have made, I also noticed that they now have a killer video on their causticresin.com site, and all I can say is, way to go!
