Memphis Duo Comes Hella Hard on This Jizoint.......2006-10-13

Ball and G came with nothin short of fire in 1994's classic On the Outside Looking In. The album is loaded with hard, political, trill, and fiery lyrics, so you know they comin' real. Beatwise, the songs for the most part are immaculate, with a mix of that syrupy southern twang and whiny G-Funk. They come bangin' on wax on "Lick Em Up Shot" with a menacing beat. I love the Issac Hayes sample on No Mercy, paired with an awesome whiny keyboard riff. Ideas of the black experience and racism is totally evident on the classic "So What U Sayin'" with a classic guitar riff and keyboard driven G-Funk beat. The title track touches on the "pen," the "system," or the "tank,"whichever you prefer, and the realities surrounding it, all over a sick, melodic beat. All in all, this album deserves classic status because of the top-notch lyrics and production.

Classic Ball N' G.......2005-10-09

very differnt type of beats than on "Comin out Hard" & "On Top of the World"...Def. has much old School influence, but still the tight rhymes we can expect from Orange Mound's Best. My Fav tracks would have to be "Playa's nite out", "Crumbs 2 Brixx", "Anotha Day in the Hood", & "So what u Sayin'"...Although every track here is f***in' tight. Kinda hard to find this...so if u do, cop it!

Inside Looking Out.......2005-07-03

Memphis, TN duo Eightball & MJG in their early years of the game dropped a second Suave House release On The Outside Looking In. "Lay It Down" featuring Thorough & Crime Boss is the highlight of this album to end it off on a memerable note. As MJG usually plays the background (since Eightball is constantly appearing as a featured guest) flexes his muscle on "Lick'em Up Shot". Both have solo songs on here, Eightball's "No Mercy" and MJG's title track. This, in comparison to their later work, is a lot funkier as they were still searching for a signature sound. The both are good with their descriptive tales of their lifestyles and past experiences, but Eightball is more the hustler and MJG is the pimp. Not the classic as On Top Of The World, but is still worth checking out the history of their careers.

ANOTHER CLASSIC ALBUM BY THE DUO.......2001-04-15

Eightball & MJG's first album "Commin' Out Hard" was awesome. I didn't think they would be able to come out with an album even better. Well, they did. And this album - "On the Outside Lookin' In" is one of those rare albums that introduce us to something new, one of those albums that take rap to another level. And that's what this album is all about. The crew continues to lace us with nothing but straight game. Comming out of Orange Mound, Memphis, these two young rappers are some of the realest ones there is and some of the most talented as well. All over the album we get stories about street life, the rap industry, pimpin' or just having a good time. Eightball and MJG both have special voices and deliveries and you just cannot decide which one is better. Another thing that makes this album so unique is the production. It's amazing, on many parts is not just great beats - it's music! Complicated beats with a lot of instruments and changing melodies. They did a hell of a job there. That's a classic gangsta rap album.

true classic 4 meh.......2000-05-29

The IMPERIALS...IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ?...YES !!.......2006-08-02

There's been a lot of talk lately that Little Anthony and the IMPERIALS are under serious consideration for induction into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. I say YES YES YES !! The IMPERIALS most DEFINITELY SHOULD be inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.In fact, they should have been among the FIRST groups inducted. They, along with THE MIRACLES and DELLS (and to a lesser extent, the IMPRESSIONS),were the only groups of the DOO WOP era of the 1950's to maintain consistant success well into the '60's and '70's. That alone should have gotten them inducted.Their songs have become recognized classics ,having been recorded by artists as diverse as SERGIO MENDEZ,LINDA RONSTADT, FRANK SINATRA,REBA MCENTIRE .and others.They could very well have been the very first "ADULT CONTEMPORARY" GROUP,establishing a new level of class and sophistication never before seen in R&b groups,while at the same time never abandoning their DOO WOP roots. The LETTERMEN,for one, seem to have re-recorded every song they ever made.Songs such as TEARS ON MY PILLOW,HURT SO BAD,I'M ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN,TWO PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,GOING OUT OF MY HEAD,SHIMMY SHIMMY KO KO BOP,{which was featured in the TOM HANKS hit movie "BIG"},TAKE ME BACK,I'M ALRIGHT,BETTER USE YOUR HEAD,OUT OF SIGHT-OUT OF MIND,I MISS YOU SO,HURT,HELP ME FIND A WAY,and others have been recorded and re-recorded many times by others over the last 45 years. GOING OUT OF MY HEAD,for one, has had over 100 recorded versions, but none sounds as good as Little Anthony and The IMPERIALS'original version. They have also influnced an entire generation of artists , such as THE STYLISTICS, DELFONICS,BLUE MAGIC,MANHATTANS,CHI-LITES,and many more.In fact,the entire Philidelphia-based soft - soul movement of the 1970's,as exemplified by producers such as KENNY GAMBLE,LEON HUFF,THOM BELL,VAN MCCOY,and others,with it's emphasis on full symphonic orchestration and vocal harmony,can be traced directly back to the IMPERIALS'ground breaking early '60's recordings with TEDDY RANDAZZO and the late DON COSTA.Go back to the earliest days of rock and roll and they are there, with appearances on such shows as THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, AMERICAN BANDSTAND,PERRY COMO'S KRAFT MUSIC HALL,ABC'S SHINDIG,NBC'S HULLABLOO,THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL,and the MERV GRIFFIN SHOW - all the way up to their show stopping performances on the 2002 & 2003 PBS MUSIC SPECIALS-the IMPERIALS-ANTHONY GOURDINE, ERNEST WRIGHT ,CLARENCE COLLINS ,& SAMMY STRAIN ,-most definitely SHOULD {along with the MIRACLES,who STILL haven't been inducted }-be inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ! one listen to this cd,combining two of their best 60's albums,and YOU'LL SEE WHY !!there are at least 10 chart hits here ... including the rarely heard "MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF", strangely not included in any of their "GREATEST HITS" COMPILATIONS..and sadly deleted from most oldies stations' play lists today...THE POWERFUL "OUT OF SIGHT-OUT OF MIND " which to me is better than the original version (by the FIVE KEYS} and ranks with the DELLS' classic hit "STAY IN MY CORNER " as having the L-O-N-G-E-S-T HELD NOTE of ANY SONG IN ROCK HISTORY, and the dynamic THOM BELL produced "HELP ME FIND A WAY (to say I love you) ...a song that should have been a MUCH BIGGER HIT when first released in 1969...and WOULD HAVE BEEN...had it been released just 4 years earlier or later...In all...A FIVE STAR COLLECTION !!

Album Description

Limited edition two CD pressing of the 2007 album dedicated to the most successful Rock 'N' Roll band in Australian history. Disc One contains various Australian artists covering the best of Cold Chisel while the limited Disc Two features the original Chisel versions of the tracks featured on Disc One! This new collection of other artists' amazing cover versions of Cold Chisel classics is a wonderful tribute to that fact. Some of the hottest local acts in the country have joined together to compile their own take on these classic Australian anthems - adding their own unique sound to the music they grew up with. We dare you to listen to Pete Murray's reading of "Forever Now" and tell us that it isn't an incredibly poignant valentine to lost love. Tell us that Paul Kelly's version of "Khe Sanh" doesn't stop you in your tracks with it's tale of a soul-destroyed Vietnam veteran, each word chosen as carefully as a haiku poem. The list goes on, from Augie March's "Janelle" to Sarah Blasko's "Flame Trees." The songs themselves are so great, and the versions contained on this album do them proud. This is quite simply an outstanding collection that will appeal not just to fans of these acts and Cold Chisel themselves - but fans of great Australian music in general. Warner.

Reflections of music.......2003-01-31

It's good to see the long forgotten (or maybe not remembered),music of Anthony and Randozo. I was in the "Nam" when the 'Reflections album hit the shelves of the PX. Hoping to get a taste of home I purchased the album and was shocked by its Warwick/Bacharach tone and quality. 'My love is a rainbow" and the rendition of "A Thousand Miles Away", was a joyful musical experience.
