Zebra Print Rainboots

Boots are back this season. Of course there are the neutrals like camel, tan, chocolate, and gray; as well as the basics black and white. But for those who are more daring or for those who are just bored with the mainstream and conventional, there are plenty of offbeat designs to choose from. In fact, prints are all the rage this year. One design that’s becoming more and more popular is the zebra print.

Animal prints or zebra prints in this case, isn’t all jungle safari fashion. In fact, this kind of print can make any simple outfit a brilliant standout. Paired with a simple tank and tight fitting jeans, knee high zebra print boots can make a true fashionable statement. A pair of zebra print rain boots and black leather trench coat or a patent white coat would be a knockout. This kind of boots is the easiest way to jazz up any outfit making it anything but boring. Although zebra print boots are commonly seen in women, men also wear these. In fact, it is gaining a lot of popularity nowadays. Guys usually pair these with nice white pants for a more unique effect.

It’s amazing how the designs have evolved nowadays. Today, if you visit the shoe stores, you will find more than just your usual zebra print. Of course a lot of people would still favour the plain print design. That’s understandable because it is great as it is. But aside from the classic print, there are many variations to choose from. One notable one is the zebra rose design which combines sexy, romantic red roses with the zebra print. Another variation is the coloured. Reds, violets, and brown give the print warmer undertones. There’s also the rainbow zebra print for the more adventurous types. This is particularly great for teens or for the not-so-teens who just love color.

Although zebra print boots are commonly seen in women, men also wear these. In fact, it is gaining a lot of popularity nowadays. Guys usually pair these with nice white pants for a more unique effect.

There are plenty of materials to choose from in buying a pair of boots. The most popular one is rubber. Rubber is the perfect choice since it will not get dirtied up that much. If ever it gets soiled from the rain, all you need is to wipe it off and it’ll look as good as new. Another material of choice is leather, which can either be true or faux leather. Regardless which one of the two you prefer, extra care must be taken with a leather pair. Always make sure that your boots are kept dry after use to make them last longer. It is made with fur are also plenty in the market. These ones are exciting because they provide a lot of texture and offers a bit of interesting detail. Fur makes your boots or any kind of shoes look more expensive, and not to mention more exquisite.

Overall, owning a pair of zebra print rain boots make a sound fashion investment. Regardless of your budget and style, you can be sure to find something that is just the “right fit”.

 Afternoon in Paris


Afternoon in Paris


$12.99


It was in Paris that John Lewis co-led this 1956 date with Sacha Distel, a French guitarist who never became well-known in the U.S. but commanded a lot of respect in French jazz circles. The same can be said about the other French players employed on Afternoon in Paris — neither tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen nor bassist Pierre Michelot were huge names in the U.S., although both were well-known in European jazz circles. With Lewis on piano, Distel on guitar, Wilen on tenor, Michelot or Percy Heath on bass, and Kenny Clarke or Connie Kay on drums, the part-American, part-French group of improvisers provides an above-average bop album that ranges from “Willow Weep for Me,” “All The Things You Are,” and “I Cover the Waterfront” to Milt Jackson’s “Bags’ Groove” and Lewis’ title song. The big-toned Wilen was only 19 when Afternoon in Paris was recorded, but as his lyrical yet hard-swinging solos demonstrate, he matured quickly as a saxman. It should be noted that all of the Americans on this album had been members of the Modern Jazz Quartet; the only MJQ member who isn’t on board is vibist Jackson. Originally released by Atlantic, Afternoon in Paris was finally reissued on CD in 1999 after being out of print for many years. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

 Big Bill Broonzy Sings Folk Songs


Big Bill Broonzy Sings Folk Songs


$16.98


Often ranked with such blues greats as Robert Johnson, Son House, and Elmore James, Big Bill Broonzy was for many years the last surviving practitioner of the “Delta” style of blues. This record, cut for Smithsonian Folkways in 1956, captures Broonzy late in his career but still during the peak of his power. Indeed, a more magisterial performance could not be imagined. While born and raised on the Mississippi, Broonzy takes this opportunity to demonstrate the range of musical influences he’s successfully mastered over the course of his career. Proving to be equally at home in both country-folk and straight blues idioms, Broonzy offers sparkling renditions of both “Alberta” and “John Henry,” where Broonzy sings an interesting set of uncommon lyrics, bending the melody with an inspired blues shift. On “This Train,” Broonzy works the call and response with a gospel choir and scathingly delivers the line, “This train carries both white and black now.” Perhaps simply to prove a point, he closes with the slightly more contemporary standard “Glory of Love,” sweetly inflecting the chorus with a tender bit of jazz lyricism. While this is not considered “the” Broonzy album to own, it is, nonetheless, a very good one, and has the obvious advantage of being kept continuously in print by Smithsonian Folkways. ~ Brian Whitener, Rovi

 Boy's Night Out


Boy’s Night Out


$19.98


First Circle were among the one-album wonders of ’80s R&B; 1987′s Boys’ Night Out was their first album as well as their last. But had it not been for an unavoidable name change, it’s quite possible that First Circle would have become much better known. Formed in 1977, the Brooklyn residents were originally called Crossbow but had changed their name to Full Circle by the time EMI released their catchy single “Workin’ Up a Sweat” in late 1986. But that name change wasn’t the problem; it was the one that came after that. “Workin’ Up a Sweat” was climbing the R&B charts when they learned that there was a Boston-based jazz group that also had the name Full Circle; so for legal reasons, Full Circle became First Circle (which was also the name of an album by jazz guitarist Pat Metheny). The single was re-released with the group’s new name, and they were going by First Circle by the time Boys’ Night Out was released in 1987. But unfortunately for the former Crossbow/former Full Circle, the second name change caused a lot of confusion at radio and retail; as a result, Boys’ Night Out was a commercial disappointment. But from a creative standpoint, this isn’t a bad album at all. Produced by Randy Muller (who was known for leading Brass Construction and producing Skyy), Boys’ Night Out could be described as an appealing combination of Skyy, Chic, and Change; there are elements of all three in First Circle’s sound, and grooves like “Get Off It,” “In the Name of Love,” and “Miracle Worker” (all of which Muller either wrote or co-wrote) sound like they could have been written in the early ’80s. Muller’s production, however, is decidedly high-tech, so even though the songs themselves might brings to mind 1981-1982, the production is more typical of 1986 and 1987. For many years, Boys’ Night Out was out of print. But in 2011 it was reissued as a 64-minute CD by Funky Town Grooves (which added four remixes as bonus tracks). Boys’ Night Out isn’t an exceptional album, b…

 Breaking Atoms


Breaking Atoms


$12.99


Main Source’s debut album, Breaking Atoms, is one of the quintessential cult classics in hip-hop history. Underappreciated compared to peers like A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, or even Brand Nubian, the album probably doesn’t get wider acclaim because it was recorded for the ill-fated Wild Pitch label, and thus remained out of print for much of the time its reputation was spreading. Group focal point the Large Professor is a fine rapper, but the album’s legend rests more on his production — he debuts one of the most influential styles in hip-hop here, popularizing a number of now widely imitated techniques. Luckily, you don’t have to know how to operate an SP-1200, or exactly what panning, chopping, and filtered basslines are, to appreciate the vibrant-sounding results. His intricately constructed tracks are filled with jazz and soul samples, layered percussion, off-kilter sampling effects, and an overall sonic richness. That’s doubtlessly enhanced by the presence of two DJs in the group, who contribute lively scratching to the proceedings as well. The album is rather brief, clocking in at around 45 minutes even with a bonus remix, but there’s also no wasted space whatsoever. The brightly soulful “Lookin’ at the Front Door” is perhaps the best-known single, but there are plenty of other highlights. “Just a Friendly Game of Baseball” is anything but, with its moody backing track and extended lyrical metaphor about police brutality and racial profiling. Meanwhile, “Live at the Barbeque” is one of the most legendary posse cuts ever recorded, featuring guests Joe Fatal, Akinyele, and Nas (the latter two make their recorded debuts here). Aficionados hype Breaking Atoms as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, and at least musically speaking, they’re not far off. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
