2.The Doors: Myth and Reality by: Ray Manzarek August 20, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
Ray Manzarek's spoken word story of himself and The Doors is quite thorough, with many good vignettes. In addition to putting a lot of emotion into their music, The Doors incorporated a lot of intelligence, and Ray supplies the background. Blues (and some jazz and classical) for Ray, film and literary (ranging from French literature/poetry to Beat poetry) for both him and Jim Morrison. Ray speaks in glowing terms of the old blues masters like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon (author of "Backdoor Man") and how they influenced him and The Doors. Contrary to Oliver Stone's portrayal, Jim Morrison graduated from UCLA Film School, but Ray's films did better during that time. This double CD does not provide a narrative treatment of the mainstream Doors years, which would be no ... Read More

I saw them live at a place in Brooklyn in Summer '07, and I regretfully didnt grab a cd from them while I was there. So, I searched for it on Amazon and found it. There's a few songs on here that are very enjoyable. I wanted to have it my possession as memory item from when I went to Brooklyn. That bar had indoor bocce ball!!

5.Hold Your Fire by: Patto February 07, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $35.74
The creative team of Ollie Halsall and Mike Patto mastered nearly every rock music genre within a relatively brief period of time, yet continue to be largely overlooked by rock 'n' roll historians. Following thier original incarnation as psychedelic popsters Timebox, and preceding thier prog-rock stint as Boxer, Halsall and Patto defied genre as "Patto". "Hold Your Fire" was Patto's 2nd release, and features an interesting blend of jazzy chords, bluesy singing and straight ahead rock 'n' roll frequently wrapped in epic arrangements of prog-rock length (note only 8 cuts on the album). The uninitiated may wonder after a first listen: "What's the big deal?" -but Patto's unique blend has a way of growing on you, especially when you notice the "little touches" like guitarist Ollie Halsall's Lionel ...

6.Warts and All by: Patto
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
It occurs to me, whilst making notes for this piece, that it is almost 35 years since I first heard Ollie Halsall and the Pattos. I saw the Beatles in 1965 (didn't hear anything but the bass). I saw Hendrix blow The Who off-stage at The Savile Theatre, London in 1967 (an event which I have yet fully to come to terms with). In September 1970 I first saw Patto and I often wonder - on no less a scale - what course my musical education would have taken without the influence of this absurd little band. We played an all-nighter at The Temple, Covent Garden - which by 2am became a doss-house for chemical abuse. We euphemistically `topped the bill' above Patto and others who had the good sense to go on early. Watching from the bar, my enduring recollection of Ollie's guitar playing was "fantastic ...

7.Hold Your Fire by: Patto April 04, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.99
"Give It All Away" may contain one of the ten best guitar solos of all time-- Ollie Halsall's manic runs up and down the frets are almost completely out of control-- almost. He careens up and down and back and forth and somehow ends up in the perfect place every time. It's a bravura performance on a perfect song. The rest of the album is excellent, but this is my favorite Patto album, and "Give It All Away" stands as their great achievement. If you liked The Replacements' anarchic energy in the 80s, see what Patto was doing to lay down the foundations in the 70s. This is glorious stuff.

Love, Nancy is a fabulous cd that once again highlights Nancy's powerful voice: lush tones, smooth glides, and silky croons. I love her music and this cd will be added to my collection.
