New Zoo revue

As the bitter battle over management of the Zoo Amphitheatre played out in public last summer, Oklahoma City music fans may have worried whether the outdoor venue at 2011 N.E. 50th would be open for business this summer.

Music always has been in Howard Pollack’s blood — maybe not onstage, but definitely behind the scenes.

Music Made Me: Laura Leighe

Boyz II Men, II (1994)
I believe this was the first CD that I bought with my own allowance at Duncan’s local music store. It’s another really fun, soulful album — vocally, harmonically, musically outstanding. I remember lying on my bedroom floor and studying the lyrics, mesmerized for hours. I loved the singles, but my favorites were the opening track, “Thank You,” and the last track, their gorgeous, soul-grabbing rendition of The Beatles’ “Yesterday.” I was just learning about harmony at the time, and loved listening to their rich, thick, beautiful sound.

The Byrds-There is a Season


None November 30th, 2006

Columbia/Legacy

If ever a band merited two box sets, it would be The Byrds. In under a decade, the band pioneered what has collectively become known as Americana: folk rock, psychedelia, country rock and, eventually their through influence, alt-country.
 
"There Is a Season" improves on the first box set (now out-of-print) by giving a more complete picture of the band, beginning with the early recordings when they were known as the Beefeaters, then the Jet Set. Also included is a DVD with historic performances of such classics and "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" and "Turn! Turn! Turn!" What emerges is a sound that will forever be associated with classic pop: perfect melodies, soaring harmonies and that glorious Rickenbacker jangle.  
 
With 99 tracks, this is essential listening for any fan of rock, folk or country.
