Shake Your Spirit
''Shake Your Spirit'' is the third album by the Canadian band Frōzen Ghōst, released in 1992. It was recorded in early 1991. It was the band's final album. The album cover is a photograph of a birdcage that belonged to Geddy Lee. Production The album was produced by frontman Arnold Lanni. The rhythm tracks were recorded live, often in one take. Critical reception The ''Calgary Herald'' noted the "vocal stylings that combined the best of Boston and worst of Foreigner." The ''Toronto Star'' determined that "there's hooks a-plenty, but the riffs all have a vague 'I've heard this before' feel about them." ''The Gazette'' deemed the album "stereotypical of a true Canadian top 40s rock band." The ''Ottawa Citizen'' wrote that it "has the reeling onslaught of a revival meeting with its funky beat, soul-shouters on backup vocals and fire-and-brimstone lyrics." ''The Globe and Mail'' opined: "Calculated and commercial it may be, but ''Shake Your Spirit'' is a deft package of hard-hit ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
