"C" Part 1 of 4

C.W. McCall - “Convoy” from Black Bear Road. Great trucker song.

C&C Music Factory - “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” from ESPN Presents Stadium Anthems: Music For The Fans.

Cab Calloway - “Minnie the Moocher” from The Blues Brothers soundtrack.

Caedmon’s Call - Complete albums: Back Home, In the Company of Angels: A Call to Worship, Intimate Portrait, Long Line of Leavers, Share the Well, and 40 Acres and the following singles: “Covenant Song” from City on a Hill compilation, “Another Ten Miles” from Propska One compilation. Great contemporary Christian band.

Caesars - “Jerk It Out” from 39 Minutes of Bliss (In an Otherwise Meaningless World) album.

Cake - Not complete albums, but many songs from the following albums: Comfort Eagle, Fashion Nugget, and Prolonging the Magic. Cake is distinctive in their sound and lyrics. Great traveling music.

The Calling - “Wherever You Go” from Camino Palmero album and “Our Lives” from Two. The Calling just rocks and they do it with a not-too-heavy sound.

Cam’ron - “Hey Ma” from Come Home with Me, “Girls” from Purple Haze, and “What Mean the World to You” from the S.D.E. album.

*Just also obtained Ben Folds’ album Way to Normal and “Ego (Remix)” from Beyoncé from her Above and Beyoncé - Dance Mixes. This track features Kanye West and is off da’ hook!

Candlebox - “Far Behind” from their self-titled album. I love this song and haven’t heard anything else from Candlebox, but they sound a lot like Pearl Jam if you are interested.

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet - “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” from their Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club' album. I heard this song performed by the a cappella group at my college and this is another version that I have of the song.

*Recently tried the band Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning album and it was too depressing.

Capleton - “Hands Off” from his More Fire record. This song has a Reggae/Dance sound.

Capoeira - “Zum, Zum, Zum” from their self-titled album. This is the clip from the Mazda commercials. I guess this style of music comes from Africa and it has an Australia feel to it.

Captain & Tennille - “Love Will Keep Us Together” from 70's Pop Number 1's album. I just liked this song and have heard it in movie and such.

Captain Hollywood Project - “More and More” from the Love Is Not Sex album. This is another European Dance track that was big back in the mid-90’s.

The Cardigans - “Love Fool” from First Band on the Moon album. Another hit from the 90’s. Take one part Cranberries (the band) and one part Lisa Loeb and you’ve got the Cardigans.

Carl Carlton - “She’s a Bad Mama Jama” from '80s Soul Gold album. I head this song one night at the TV game show “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” and I liked it.

Carl Douglas - “Kung Fu Fighting” I bet you know this one, “everybody was kung fu fighting, those cats were fast as lightening . . . .” How can you not love this song?

Carly Simon - “You’re So Vain” from No Secrets album and “They Just Want You to Be There” from This Kind of Love album. Simon was big in the 70’s and the latter song is actually from an album she put out in 2008.

Carman - “Revive Us, Oh Lord” from Songs 4 Life album and “The Champion” skit from The Absolute Best Collection album. He also appears on multiple WOW albums, which I will mention towards the end of the blog.

Caroline’s Spine - Entire albums: Attention Please and Like It or Not. The following songs from their Monsoon album: “Unglued“, “Sullivan“, and “So Good Afternoon”. I also have the song “Varsity Blues” from the Varsity Blues soundtrack. I saw Caroline’s Spine live on the University of South Dakota campus and really enjoyed their creative sound.

Carolyn Dawn Johnson - “Complicated” from Room with a View album. A one-hit wonder from the early 2000’s. Similar sound to Jewel with a little more country flavoring.

Carrie Underwood - Complete Carnival Ride album and “Before He Cheats” and “Jesus, Take the Wheel” from Some Hearts album. Underwood is just plain awesome.

The Cars - Entire Complete Greatest Hits album.

Cascada - “Every Time We Touch” from the album of the same name. A fast dance track.

Cash Money Millionaires - “Undisputed” from the album of the same name. This song will boost your ego.

Casper - “Cha-Cha Slide” from the album of the same name. This song even has its own dance, I remember doing it in college. The song is actually the directions to the dance, so listen carefully to the lyrics and try to keep up!

Cassidy - “Get No Better” and “Hotel” from the Split Personality album. Great hip-hop songs.

Casting Crowns - Complete albums: The Altar and the Door, Casting Crowns, and Lifesong. I love Casting Crowns and they have been big on the recent Christian contemporary scene.

Current item count 19,161.

Cat Stevens - “Wild World” from Tea for the Tillerman and “Wild World” from Teaser and the Firecat. Cat Stevens is an interesting person to say the least.

CCU - This is where it gets slightly complicated. I attended CCU and my wife was a music major, so I have most of the concerts from the time I met her (2001) until I graduated in 2004. I won’t dive into song titles, but I will tell you the specific group(s), the name of the concert, and the year. CCU Mainstream Jazz Ensemble/Vocal Jazz Ensemble Concert 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. I also picked up a CCU Music Sampler that contains various group from various years. It was sort of an advertising piece for potential students. CCU 2002 Christmas Concert - various groups. 2002 Small Ensemble Concert, 2003 Faculty Jazz Combo concert. CCU Small Ensemble’s Recording Project was a project for students in the Sound Recording and Technology program, I’m not sure on the year, but it was early 2000’s. 2003 Chamber Orchestra concert, CCU University Choir performing in New York in 2002. 2000, 2001, and 2003 University Wind Ensemble. CCU Wind Ensemble performing in Chicago in 2002. That just about covers it.
