Album Description

Nekromantix are quite simply the premier psychobilly band in the world. Founded in 1989, over the course of six albums (three in the US), Nekromantix have inspired a generation of rockabilly and psychobilly bands, earned a Grammy nod, and spawned the immensely popular side project Horrorpops, who have scanned over 80,000 CDs in their own right. Now comes Life Is A Grave And I Dig It!!!, a return to the raw, driving sound of early classics like Return of the Loving Dead. Anchored by leader Kim Nekroman's thumping upright bass, Life Is A Grave And I Dig It!!perfectly delivers on Alternative Press' description of the band as "a 1950s date with Motorhead." With a headlining national tour out of the box - the 2007 incarnation of the wildly successful Hellcat tour - and a world-wide following from extensive touring in Japan, the US, and Europe, Nekromantix will continue to lead the pack, all the way to the boneyard!

Great MUSIC.......2007-06-16

This is my favorite psychobilly album by a long shot. It has more catchy hooks than their older albums, but does not seem to lose anything in the psycho department. I LOVE this album and I know more people would as well if they had only heard of the band. Give these guys, especially this album, a chance!

rock and roll.......2007-06-11

just seen these guys in chicago and the show was great, i like there older stuff better, but there is nothing that i have bad to say about this cd either.
straight up rock and roll
if you ever get a chance to see these guys live do it!!!!!!

Eh...........2007-05-20

I dunno about this one.

The album displays a more rockabilly themed songs compared to Nekromantix's other albums. I'm not saying the songs are bad, I'm just saying they lack a cetain attitude and power to the songs due to the guitar. If your into more rockabilly than pick this CD up, but if you are looking for their old type of music then you might want to pass.

A Masterpiece.......2007-05-15

This album tops everything that Nekromantix has ever done! It is a wet dream for anyone who loves the upright bass. They spend a lot of money making a microphone that fits inside the bass, to give it a great sound for the album. I never thought it would be possible, but I actually think that Nekroman's playing skills have gotten better. This album has a slower pace than all the previous albums, and that is not a bad thing at all. If you like the upright bass, this is a great album... If you play the upright bass, you HAVE TO GET THIS ALBUM. You can hear the bass notes much clearer, and the whole set is synchronized, and the set is tighter than ever.

If you are looking for something along the lines of DEMENTED ARE GO, then do NOT get this album... But if you want to hear something that is good or requires talent then go with this album.

Yes, I did say that DEMENTED ARE GO has no talent.
And NO, they are not "More Psycho" because they groan into the microphone and do their best to sound like monsters, or because they have more gruesome lyrics... They try so hard to be extra psycho that they no longer concentrate on writing good songs but writing songs that make them psychobilly!

If you have any questions I would be glad to answer them by email at

Different, but still very good album from one of the greats in the psychobilly scene. Solid release makes up for their semi-disappointing Dead Girls Don't Cry.

Isaac Hayes' 1969 solo debut Hot Buttered Soul set a soulful tone for the decade that followed, influencing innumerable artists and turning on a more conventional audience to the genre. Therefore it comes as no surprise that three quarters of that record are included on this compilation from his 1968-`77 Stax Records resume (though they are heavily edited to fit the 32-song, two-CD format). Renowned as one of his generation's greatest songwriters and arrangers, Hayes punctuates his creations with hints of r&b, funk, jazz and soul. Examples here include the indelible "Theme From Shaft," a funked-up cover of Burt Bacharach's and Hal David's "The Look of Love," the slow-grooving "Do Your Thing" and a previously unreleased gospel standard, "His Eye Is on the Sparrow." The inspired packaging includes a four-track DVD that features a trio of Hayes' performances from the 1972 WATTSTAX Festival at the Los Angeles Coliseum--providing as much evidence of the magnitude of Hayes' esteem as this starter set for anyone seeking an introduction to a legendary artist. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews:

A real good compilation of "Black Moses" music, DVD included!.......2007-03-06

From the original version of "Shaft" to that funny video of "Salty Chocolate Balls" from Comedy Central's successful "South Park", this double CD + DVD is a must for any serious Soul music collector. The sound quality is very good indeed!

Great Album.......2005-12-17

This compilation distills the clever genius of Isaac Hayes into two audio discs, covering the whole range of his early career. It contains pure unadulterated emotion, clever humor and incredible smoothness all at once in a very unique style. Isaac is one of the few artists who can make you feel his genuine emotions right with him. The remastered tracks sound better than ever. Packaging is good and there is a bonus DVD with some rather inspiring concert footage from the 70s. I'm pretty sure this is the best compilation set ever from "the Sinatra of soul."

You Should Dig It..........2005-11-22

Damn, where's he been? For thirty years, Isaac Hayes has apparently been one of the coolest people on the planet Earth, but he's rarely seen, and only heard as a voice on a crazy cartoon show. This CD lets us hear what we've been missing for the past thirty years. At the start of his career, Hayes wrote hit songs for the Stax/Volt label. That by itself is enough to label him as one of the planet's coolest people, but this collection doesn't even bother with his career as a songwriter for others. Instead, it picks up at the point that Hayes decided to become a solo performer on his own, and the diversity of his career is nothing less than mind-boggling. With no sign of strain, he seamlessly incorporated stone cold experimental jams, psychedelia, orchestral soul and funk, inspirational music, jazz reminiscent of the Ramsey Lewis school, and `love-man' R&B.
"Hot Buttered Soul" was the kick-off for a career that eventually came to define mid-seventies soul music, and it still stands as an all-time classic. It is amply represented here by standout extended jams like "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and "Walk On By". It also moves through eleven subsequent albums, with mixed results that are nonetheless continually fascinating. At times, he sounds like a spitting image for Barry White, but with an unconventional flair for going further than any other funk soul brother would risk. Photos show Hayes wearing clothing that would make the king of the pimps jealous (head to toe in fur, or head to toe in leopard skin...you get the idea), while being referred to as `Black Moses'. It was a singular, unforgettable image that suits every track on this disk.
As a visual aid, Disk One represents the sound of mink pants and an open-chested shirt while cruising in a gold-tinged Cadillac with pink naugahyde interior. "The Theme from Shaft," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Hyperbolicsyllabic-Sesquedalymistic" and "Never Can Say Goodbye" all capture Hayes at his glorious, over-the-top peak. Disk two, meanwhile, is the aural equivalent of carelessly discarded chain mail, crushed velvet sofas, red light bulbs, and a bottle of Mateus Rose. "Walk On By," "If Loving You Is Wrong", "Baby I'm-A Want You" and "Let's Stay Together" all stress the love-man vibe like burning incense. Far from consistent, though, there are a few mis-steps. Like everything else here, though, even the clunkers are spectacular in their badness. "Three Tough Guys" and "Come Live with Me" are both trite, incredibly overwrought, and poorly written - clunkers of astounding proportions, and all the more fascinating for it. The videos on the DVD disk are fabulous, though, both musically and historically, featuring three great songs/visuals from the often out-of-print film "Wattstax", plus the incredibly funny and ridiculous "Chocolate Salty Balls" video, from the `South Park' cartoon. Inconsistent but always fascinating, this is one CD collection that should not be missed.
B+ Tom Ryan

Amazon.com

On their ninth CD, the Brian Jonestown Massacre does what they're best at. That is, they conjure up visions of Beggars Banquet-era Rolling Stones and other artists from the swinging '60s. Emphasizing acoustic slide guitars, harmonica, handclaps, and tambourine, Anton Newcombe sings passionately in Jaggeresque style. While decidedly retro, the band is always entertaining as they evoke their musical heroes. On the song "Mansion in the Sky" Newcombe recalls the mood of early Dylan with evocative results. Folksy, bluesy, and particularly understated, this disc contains only six songs and leaves you hungry for more. With Miranda Lee Richards's haunting vocal on "Reign On" and an eerie update of Charles Manson's composition "Arkansas," Brian Jonestown Massacre turns six into nine one more time. It's brief, but bright, and their most satisfying work to date. --Mitch Myers

Album Description

Back in Print- the infamous 1999 EP contains six rambling, american via manson ditties including " Mansion In the Sky" and "The Godspell According to A.A. Newcombe".

Several of these songs are featured in the film " DIG".

Album Description

1999 CDEP from the kings of everything strange and dangerous in rock and roll. A six track 30 minute conceptual piece, this is all that is BJM and so much more. Digipack.

Customer Reviews:

Arkensa yeah.......2006-06-03

This is a brilliant record. The music floats between quiet and beautiful tracks like 'reign on'... then on to the fun, hellraising blasphemy of the 'godspell according to Newcombe'. the last track, 'arkensa revisited', is as crazily cool as it is dangerous. Note the charles manson reference.
"Goin' back to Arkensa, gonna kill my ma and pa...gonna kill my ma and dad cause they made my life so sad."

Self Indulgence Posing As Hip.......2006-04-21

Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan. But this one really stinks. With the exception of the song Miranda Lee Richards sings on, "Reign On", this is a mess. I got excited when I saw that one song was by Charlie Manson but "Arkansas" is one of the worst songs on this self indulgent collection of not songs as much as half-baked (pun intended) ideas for jams. Skip this one and
get "Methodrone", "Strung Out In Heaven", "Give It Back" or "And This Is Our Music" if you want to hear Anton & Company really rock and/or space out with way better melodies and lyrics than this one.

you just crave for some more.......2006-02-07

Named after a classic Bob Dylan album, this EP is one the finest recording the Jonestown ever did. Only 6 songs that clocks-in less than half an hour. When the disc is over, you just crave for some more. Recorded by any means, with almost no drums or bass, The BJM welcomes here Miranda Lee Richards and her beautiful and eerie voice. Hard to find but definitely worth the looking.

Top-notch EP from the best rock n' roll band in America........1999-09-20

BJM continue - with this brilliant, countrified-bluesy 6-tracker - to cut a blistering path through the history of American music. No-one can touch them. If you doubt, check out 1998's sublime "Strung Out in Heaven" or 1996's neglected blues-folk-rock masterpiece "Thank God for Mental Illness". They are one of the few bands in American music worth dying for. Name my pill Anton!!!!

great album from the best band.......1999-07-12

About six months ago I discovered the band known as Brian Jonestown Massacre. I first bought Strung out in Heaven (which I highly recommend) then this album. I have to say that this is the best band of the ninties. With all the mass confusion of sound going around this is a breath of fresh air. They define the meaning of music. They are true muscians who are in it for the love of music. They will never sell out to the "industry". I recommend any album they have made and I am sure you will throughly enjpy it.

A Christmas Tradition for the Ages: Leontyne Price & Xmas.......2006-05-26

This Christmas is THE Cd to own above all others, as most anyone who's heard it will tell you - critics worldwide included.

Without a doubt, the singing of soprano Leontyne Price -"La Splendissima" - is incomparable here. There has never been a soprano with a timbre so incredibly distinctive & beautiful that also infuses her music with a rare humanity and humility. Every Christmas is inauguarated with this recording at my home, and those fortunate enough to receive this CD as a gift from me, are infinitely grateful & astounded by Ms. Price's gifts.(especially those not inclined to Opera singers!)
Her collaboration here with Maestro Von Karajan is just as rewarding as all of the others including "Carmen", "Tosca", the Verdi "Requiem"(VHS/DVD), and a legendary "Il Trovatore". These (2) musical 'giants' seem to derive inspiration from each other that ignites a passionate response from each as well. Nowhere is this more evident than in their now 'classic' rendition of the Schubert "Ave Maria". Listen to the ethereal, voice-like intro of the orchestral strings that precedes Ms. Price's celestial vocalism. It's magical! The programme is diverse and deeply satisfying for the Season. Miss Price's singing, whether in this rep, singing Spirituals, the recital stage, or Grand Opera, is almost always an inveterately soulful experience. It is no less so here. Celebrate the Season (any Season you like) with "La Splendissima" Leontyne Price singing classical 'Soul' music at Christmas. Get this!!!!!!!! Note: This particular packaging includes the original picture and liner notes from the original 1960 Decca release. Its so nostalgic, and makes this collection all the more treasurable. Enjoy.

DECEMBER 1965 IN CHICAGO.......2005-12-21

The group of bored fifth grade boys are huddled into the public school library. The weeks drag on before we break for the holidays, of spending time at home with our families and the anticipated loot we'll get for Christmas. The librarian/teacher insists on playing Christmas music on the record player. We sit and giggle about the long-haired musical arrangements and the high soprano voice singing. The librarian tells us all to shut up and listen "to one of the greatest voices in the world". We do. And at that tender age I first heard the voice of Leontyne Price and this beautiful Christmas album that has been part of my holiday music ever since.

Nothing is amiss in this collection. The Price instrument was young and spontaneous, the arrangements are spectacular and von Karajan is (for once) taking a back seat to his soloist. Thank you, Mrs. Farrell, for the introduction to this wonderful album. All I have to do is put this CD on and I'm transferred back to the public school library, my classmates eagerly waiting for Christmas to come, and to my family and Christmas home in Chicago.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

The liner notes that accompany this collection note that '70s soul music has never really gotten its due. One could argue that point for days, but hubris aside, there's no denying that Can You Dig It pays serious homage to the golden years of American soul. The new box set contains 6 CDs and 136 cuts, 65 of which hit the No. 1 spot on the R&B and/or pop charts. As you'd expect with a project that mines such a rich era (the CDs are compiled chronologically), it represents a who's who of stars. Among the notables: Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, the Spinners, the O'Jays, the Staple Singers, James Brown, Chairmen of the Board, Laura Lee, Freda Payne, and Jean Knight. Lesser lights also get to shine, i.e., El Chicano, who deliver the salsafied hippie anthem "Tell Her She's Lovely." But let's be honest--the selling point is the hits, and from the uplifting "Ooh Child" to the sassy "Want Ads," if you grew up in the '70s (hands up), then these tracks are beloved. Sure, the hard-core fan will probably wish for more obscurities, and the exclusion of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and George Clinton is troublesome, but anyone wanting an at-home jukebox loaded with classic R&B will certainly dig this. --Amy Linden

The Rosetta Stone of 70's Soul!!.......2004-03-09

Let me just start by saying this is quite simply the greatest
compilation ever unleashed on man or beast. This is the most deluxe boxed set I have seen- 6 discs in an 8 track carrying case
style package. This will take you back to the days of shag carpets,lava lamps and monster size afro hairstyles. Classic 70's Soul is my favorite genre of music and to find such a lovingly compiled set just blew my mind. 136 of the very best cuts of this era including the obvious smash hits like "Cruising","Let's Stay Together", Mr. Big Stuff", I Wanna get Next to You" alongside lesser known or forgotten tracks like "I'm Doin Fine Now" by New York City, "Golden Touch" by Rose Royce.and "Why can't We Live Together" by Timmy Thomas.The set also comes with a beutiful 76 page booklet packed with photos, track by track commentary and artist bios. Obviously a package like this will set you back a bit financially but the fact that you will never stop playing this for the rest of your life makes it worth every penny.

The "8-track" box they come in is a real hoot!.......2004-01-07

This is a nice collection of some of the best R&B songs of the 70's. My cousin used to always watch "Soul Train" when we were growing up so these songs pleasantly remind me of my childhood and visiting with my beloved grandparents at the holidays.

The box the discs come in is also cleverly designed to look like it's filled with 8-track tapes. This would make a great gift for anyone who loves 70's soul.

A Great 70's soul music collection.......2003-12-16

I love this cd box set, and I love the way it looks! Rhino has done a good job of capturing the look, sound, and feel of 70's soul music with this attractive six cd collection. I love how they made the outside of the box look like an old 8 track tape rack! And it's great to hear songs like Betcha By Golly Wow, I'll Be There, Rainy Night in Georgia, War, Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time, Family Affair, Let's Stay Together, and so many others once again. I felt like it was 1973 all over again!

I do have one minor complaint: Over 20 of these songs are on another Rhino Box set that I have called "Have a Nice Decade." I felt a little cheated, that Rhino could have sampled some other songs. Moreover, there were some great soul artists that didn't have songs represented on this collection at all: Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, and a few others.

But this is still an excellent collection, and if you love 70's soul music, you might want to splurge and buy it.

Worth 10 Stars-They Sure Don't Make 'em Like This Anymore!!!.......2003-06-11

One of the very best, top of the line soul/r&b collections you could possibly own! Man oh man, do these classic tunes bring back so many fine memories! This type of talent as far as singing & songwriting is sorely lacking in today's music world. Today's youth should try giving this set a listen to hear what real talent was actually like. If you are a major fan of 70s soul/r&b like I am, then this is a MUST-HAVE collection. Very highly recommended.

I love it.......2003-02-22

Recommended listening. Sandwiched in time between the Motown of the 60s and the emergence of rap in the 80s is the forgotten cool of 70s soul. I remember these songs from watching Soul Train after American Bandstand and Casey Casem's Top 10, and was delighted with the richness of the sound and song. Makes me almost embarrassed by what I listened to as a teenager in the 80s, it doesn't hold up as well as the songs in this collection.

Even if you don't like soul, R&B, get it anyway if you can. It will broaden you horizons. Added bonus is the booklet that accompanies the grammy-nominated packaging - you will enjoy every aspect of this set.

Representing the best of both worlds, Seattle's Thee Emergency recorded their blistering debut in Detroit. The connection between the Northwest quartet and the Motor City is producer extraordinaire Jim Diamond (the Dirtbombs). If it sounds like Thee Emergency has as much to offer followers of the Seattle sound as the Detroit scene, that would be correct. Their garage is painted metallic blue, spiked with sharp pop hooks, and saturated with soul. Inside you'll find a bottle of gin, a pack of smokes, and dozens of well-worn copies of albums by the Animals, Blue Oyster Cult, and the Stooges. Just try "Get It Up" and "Sugar" on for size. They'll fit. Though full-throated frontwoman Zana Geddes took her nom de rock from Madonna nickname "Dita" and the "Vox" that U2's Bono abandoned somewhere along the way, she follows more closely in the fierce footsteps of Beth Ditto (the Gossip) and Rachel Nagy (the Detroit Cobras). Sonic Smith (guitar, just like his namesake in the MC5), Nick Detroit (bass), and Tom T. Drummer (uh, drums) make the band the powerhouse that it is, but Dita Vox is to Thee Emergency as Poly Styrene was to X-Ray Spex: the voice that grabs your attention and just won't let go. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Album Description

Seattle's Thee Emergency bring whiskey-drenched rock and soul to their debut full-length release. Honing their craft with countless live shows, Can You Dig It? feels like an extension of those high energy sets. Starting off with the firey "Girl You Should've Known," singer Dita Vox sings about relationships lost with such bombast, you can actually feel her kicking you out the door. Peppered among the screamers ("Girl...", "Holdin' On", "Revolution #1") is the Jagger-channeling title track,"Can You Dig It?" as well as the deep gospel blues of "Cream" and "No Condemnation." Recorded in one short 2006 Detroit winter week with famed White Stripes producer Jim Diamond, Can You Dig It? has become one of Seattle's most anticipated releases of 2006.
