Bob Dylan, он же Элстон Ганнн (Elston Gunnn), он же Blind Boy Grunt, он же Боб Лэнди (Bob Landy), он же Роберт Милквуд Томас (Robert Milkwood Thomas), он же Счастливчик Уилбери (Lucky Wilbury), он же Бу Уилбери (Boo Wilbury), он же Джек Фрост (Jack Frost), урожденный Роберт Аллен Циммерман - американский автор-исполнитель песен, поэт, художник, киноактер. Является культовой фигурой в популярной музыке на протяжении пяти десятилетий. Многие его песни, такие как «Blowin' in the Wind» и «The Times They Are a-Changin'», стали гимнами для движения гражданских прав и антивоенного движения в США.
По данным опроса журнала Rolling Stone — является второй (после The Beatles) по значимости фигурой в истории рок-музыки. Бабушка и дедушка тов. Цимермана, между прочим, эмигрировали в США из Одессы в 1905, когда там были погромы.
"Страх и ненависть в Лас-Вегасе" если кто не знает, повсящены именно Бобу Дилану, а фильм «Достучаться до небес» получил название в честь одноимённой песни Боба Дилана.


B|B|C Review
Who on earth would be interested in a set collecting the mono mixes of Bob Dylan’s first eight albums? 
Well, as the success of  The Beatles’ similar venture The Beatles in Mono demonstrates, quite a lot of people. And with good reason. Dylan – like the Fab Four and all of their contemporaries – didn't start treating stereo mixes as anything other than a sop to an elite part of the record buying market until the end of the 1960s. Mono mixes were supervised and approved by the artist, stereo mixes done as an afterthought by third parties. The albums Bob Dylan (1962) through John Wesley Harding (1967), then, are being presented here in the way the artist intended you to hear them. As Dylan’s mono albums were deleted unusually quickly, this is the first opportunity to experience such ‘director’s cuts’ for four decades.
It’s the early, acoustic albums that benefit most: stereo versions brutally divided up the elements of voice, guitar and harmonica on the debut, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, The Times They Are a-Changin’ and Another Side of Bob Dylan. As for the electric material, Blonde on Blonde’s epic Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands sounds significantly sweeter and more focused in mono, while Bringing It All Back Home sounds bolder and punchier throughout, with the excellence of the bass-playing on It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue particularly brought into focus. However, surprisingly it is not all one-way traffic, as illustrated by Like a Rolling Stone, which here sounds dismayingly sterile compared to the powerful stereo mix that has become far more familiar down the years. Meanwhile, the mono mixes on Stone’s parent album Highway 61 Revisited are sometimes shorter by half a minute – not a good thing when we’re talking about one of history’s all-time classics. John Wesley Harding sounds sharper and harder, but it’s noticeable how much less eerie is the monaural The Wicked Messenger.
The set is beautifully packaged, a handsome slipcase housing a lavish booklet and CDs in card facsimiles of the original album sleeves, with detail accurate enough to incorporate the original rough texture of the Times jacket and the trashy, advert-adorned inner bag of the debut. This will all presumably be some compensation for those purist audiophiles shocked to discover that mixing and matching between stereo and mono releases will be necessary to obtain the best listening experience.

Введенная в национального наследия Фонд Зала Славы Блюза как "Великий Блюзовый музыкант" и назначена послом в Сан-Франциско. Моника Дюпонт начала записываться в возрасте 13 лет в 1961 и ушла из музыки в 1983 году. Популярность ее старых записей убедил ее вернуться в 2008 году снова к музыке, и выпустить альбом "Life Goes On". Сейчас ей 63 года. И вот уже в 2011 вышел ещё один новый альбом Моники "Early Eighties (Redux)."
Ральф Дж. Глеасон (Ralph J. Gleason) сказал: "Monica Dupont поет как Мадди Уотерс (Muddy Waters) и выглядит как Мэри Тайлер-Мур (Mary Tyler-Moore)".
Buddy Guy сравнил ее с Junior Wells.

 Legendary blues singer/songwriter Monica Dupont returns after a 25 year absence from music with an album of diverse and exciting modern blues; her exceptional, original songs showcase her powerful, unique vocal style and she is backed by an all star band.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Album Notes
Monica's first new recording in over 20 years, "Life Goes On" is a remarkable collection of pure blues; something old, something new, all a little bit different, each one uniquely Monica Dupont. Her ability to leap effortlessly from shuffle to boogie to pure Delta to swing and yet remain completely authentic and original is a rare and wonderful talent.
Supported by an A-list of fabulous musicians (all of whom are connected to her from the "old days" of Oakland Blues), this album makes a statement that cannot be ignored. Like a great book that one can't put down, it draws you in and holds your attention. Each song is a new style; each style is a new sound. Her voice, a voice like no other you've heard, ties it all together. Once you've heard her, you can instantly identify her forever. Make no mistake - this is NOT "more of the same old blues". This is the real deal for people who know and love the blues.

   Blues From The Heart  
Monica Dupont has the rare gift to reach the listener's soul with her deep, unique voice and her honest, *from the heart* song-delivery. Her CD *Life Goes On* spans the entire musical spectrum of the Blues - and beyond.  
The 10 songs on her album demonstrate that she is easily at home singing Jazz, Rock, Soul, Traditional and Modern Blues, without ever compromising her individuality.
Monica is also an accomplished guitarist and song-writer. Her seven compositions on this CD highlight the diverse range of styles mentioned above, never sounding cliche or resorting to the over-worked 12-bar structure.
 
Every track on *Life Goes On* is a stand-out, but I do have my favourites...and they're all Monica's songs, like the jazzy *Mr Cool*, the rocking *Shakin' The Sheets* and the Chicago-flavoured *When I'm Gone*.
There are surprises too - like her rendition of *Running Bear*, in which Monica succeeds in putting a totally different, but convincing meaning to the old Johnny Preston tune.  

"Life Goes On" is an album that will please music lovers of all genres and ages, because the music is sung and played *From The Heart*. I highly recommend it.

Делюкс-переиздание дебютного альбома самой популярной английской исполнительницы современности. Включает редкие радиосессии, демо-версии и ремиксы.
Альбом "Frank" - первый в карьере Amy Winehouse - был более чем хорошо принят критиками и получил награду Mercury Awards. В делюксовое переиздание, которое вышло на двух дисках, помимо самого альбома вошли эксклюзивные материалы, которые раннее не издавались.


Свою дебютную пластинку Frank, названную в честь Фрэнка Синатры, певица охарактеризовала как «защитную реакцию»: «Когда я делала этот альбом, я курила травку, и вся моя сущность была —«ты меня не знаешь, ты мне не нужен, ты меня не любишь, да пошел ты!» А во время написания второго альбома я слушала музыку 60-х, всякую всячину из музыкальных автоматов. И много пила — что намного депрессивнее, чем травка». 
 
“Frank is the debut studio album by English recording artist Amy Winehouse, released 20 October 2003 on Island Records. Production for the album took place during 2002 to 2003 and was handled by Winehouse, Salaam Remi, Commissioner Gordon, Jimmy Hogarth and Matt Rowe. Its title alludes to the nature and tone of Winehouse's lyrics on the album.
Upon its release, Frank received generally positive reviews from most music critics and earned Winehouse several accolades, including an Ivor Novello Award. Since its original release in the United Kingdom, the album has been reissued in Canada, the United States and Australia. On 18 December 2008, it was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, denoting shipments in excess of 900,000 copies in the UK.”
