On 'Stax '68: A Memphis Story,' history never looked so bleak while sounding so good. A brief glance at the track lists will begin to open your eyes, but the history of the record company from 1968 will blow your mind.

'The Garner Poems' is exquisitely wrought, full of puissant aesthetic precepts and robust harmonics. Don’t miss this one.

This continuing Rock HOF induction video series comes highly recommended set (3.5 stars out of four), as many musicians perform some rare and very memorable works. Enjoy 44 live performances from four induction ceremonies (2010-2013).

Roberts and crew show that making music is about creating dialogues between the musicians.

The highlight of 'Tales from a Room' is the rich, delicate voice of Miriam Waks, with a striking exotic roundness, making it uniquely pleasing to listen to.

'Attractive Nuisance' is wonderfully superb, quite unlike anything extant.

Christian Heath is definitely a talent to keep an eye on.

With 'Through The Night,' Lord Nelson should keep most listeners well-satisfied.

'Disaster Relief' is all-out funk played with fervent passion and oodles of sonic heat.
