Various - Box Of Vibes No. 22 (A-C-R) (2026) 320


* The start of a new week and I bring you the new Box Of Vibes, this week we reach Box 22. Andy starts with his selection of tunes from 1 to 8, then Concha shares her selections from 9 to 16, and I (Reb) wrap it up with my tunes from 17 to 24 *

* In these Boxes you will discover music from many genres and decades. There are alternative and cover versions of songs you might already know. But hopefully you will discover new bands and artists in these Boxes Of Vibes. *

* Feed back on them would be great good or bad, it's always good to know what you all think. * 

* So Box 23 will be posted here next Monday (the new day) for Box Of Vibes *

1972 - Santana - Caravanserai




1972 - Santana - Caravanserai (Flac)



Drawing on rock, salsa, and jazz, Santana recorded one imaginative, unpredictable gem after another during the 1970s. But Caravanserai is daring even by Santana's high standards. Carlos Santana was obviously very hip to jazz fusion -- something the innovative guitarist provides a generous dose of on the largely instrumental Caravanserai. Whether its approach is jazz-rock or simply rock, this album is consistently inspired and quite adventurous. Full of heartfelt, introspective guitar solos, it lacks the immediacy of Santana or Abraxas. Like the type of jazz that influenced it, this pearl (which marked the beginning of keyboardist/composer Tom Coster's highly beneficial membership in the band) requires a number of listenings in order to be absorbed and fully appreciated. But make no mistake: this is one of Santana's finest accomplishments.

The Jayhawks - 1997 - Sound Of Lies (Expanded)



The Jayhawks - 1997 - Sound Of Lies (Expanded) @320


Following their first three studio albums, the alt-rock group Jayhawks released what was seen as their breakthrough record, 1994’s Tomorrow the Green Grass, thanks to the gorgeous single “Blue.” But after that release, co-singer/guitarist/songwriter Mark Olson departed the band, a serious blow that could have broken or slowed down the Jayhawks’ momentum. But fortunately the band carried on under the stewardship of Gary Louris, and for the next nine years, the Jayhawks crafted three underrated albums that have just been recently reissued with bonus tracks.

Whether it had to do with Olson’s departure or not, 1997’s Sound of Lies was a rather melancholy and dark record compared to Green Grass – and that mood could be traced in a couple of the songs, whether it is in the form of the reflective ballad Trouble or the turbulent yet brilliant epic “Dying on the Vine.” Great tracks like “The Man Who Loved Life” and “Think About It” should have been hits, and the rest of the record is peppered with gems in the rollicking “Big Star” and the pretty “It’s Up To You.” If anything, Sound of Lies proved there was still life in this band. Among the bonus tracks include a rough mix of the album’s title song. (CD Review)





 

The Hitchers - It's All Fun And Games 'Til Someone Loses An Eye (1998) 320



* The Hitchers are an Irish band from Limerick. Formed in 1989. *

* Originally released on CD only. This critically acclaimed album, described by NME as “a work of lyrical genius” and which spawned the singles Strachan/You Can Only Love Someone, Killed It With My Bare Hands and Big Mug is long since out of print and can only be found 2nd hand on the likes of eBay or amazon – where there’s one loon looking for 60 sterling for it!!.  *

* Will share their second album and a compilation tomorrow *
