Feels Like Home --CD :eusa-clap:

Linda Ronstadt

1995 Elektra Records

Laid Back, July 24, 2002
By J. M. Zuurbier (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)


This review is from: Feels Like Home (Audio CD)

Many of the songs from this album resulted from the TRIO II sessions with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, which Linda participated on. However TRIO II wasn't released until early 1999, and was recorded in 1994, so I'm sure Linda wanted to pick up a few of the songs and make them her own on FEELS LIKE HOME. "High Sierra", "After The Goldrush", "Feels Like Home", "Lover's Return" and "The Blue Train" also appear on TRIO II. There are once again some stunning covers, most notably a cover of Tom Petty's "The Waiting" which she tears it up on and makes it her own. That off the bat is a definite highlight here. She also covers Matraca Berg's "Walk On", and Neil Young's "After The Goldrush". Once again she does not disapoint, vocally she is up to par and sounds magnificent. Highlights include "The Waiting", "Blue Train", "High Sierra", "Feels Like Home", and "After The Goldrush", but there is no filler here to be found.

"The Waiting" (Tom Petty) – 3:58
"Walk On" (Matraca Berg, Ronnie Samoset) – 2:58
"High Sierra" (Harley Allen) – 4:24
"After the Gold Rush" (Neil Young) – 3:33
"The Blue Train" (Jennifer Kimball, Tom Kimmel) – 5:04
"Feels Like Home" (Randy Newman) – 4:50
"Teardrops Will Fall" (Eddie Deane) – 3:08
"Morning Blues" (Traditional) – 3:57
"Women Cross the River" (David Olney) – 3:33
"Lover's Return" (Traditional) – 4:01

This is also a great album of Rory's. And the song "Mother Marian" - WOW! I haven't been hit that hard emotionally by a song for quite some time. Not sure what it is about it exactly, not just the lyrics, not just the music, but somehow both and Rory's performance of it, just nails me.

Wind On The Water

David Crosby & Graham Nash

1975 ABC Records

I really really like this album. I might even like it better than the first Crosby & Nash solo album.

I also like the 1977 "Live" album. Not "Another Stoney Evening", which is also good in its very loose acoustic presentation, but rather the one simply called "Live" with it's tight backing band. Crazy awesome version of "Deja Vu" there, plus "Lee Shore" sounds purty!

 

[Kazaam]

I've spent the last couple of days checking out the Smashing Pumkins:


"MACHINA II/THE FRIENDS & ENEMIES OF MODERN MUSIC". (Terrible album title, btw.)

This is that so-called album that Billy Corgan released for free back in 2000 or so. It's been years since I listened to it, and to me it's just not that good. Although I do like me some "Cash Car Star", and some of the other songs, the majority are throwaways with terrible recording/production quality. (Well, "duh", right? It wasn't exactly an official CD release, I know.) Nonetheless, it's still pretty cool in that it was one of the first, if not the first album by a major artist to be released for free on the internet---on purpose, that is. But I'll take the original real officially released "Machina I" over this thing any day.

TEARGARDEN BY KALEIDYSCOPE

Also... I've also been listening to the 8 or 9 songs release so far from "Teargarden By Kaleidyscope"... the new incarnation "Pumpkins" current album that is a work in progress... also being released for free via the Internet.... this time by the band's official website. I totally dig its more psychedelic and melodic sound; plus, it appears to be better recorded/produced than "Machina II" was. Highly recommended, especially for free. http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/

Paper Airplane -- CD

Alison Krauss & Union Station

Tomorrow Rounder Records

Product Description

A truly breathtaking collection of 11 exquisite songs, Paper Airplane is Alison Krauss' 14th album and the band's follow-up to 2004's triple Grammy® winning Lonely Runs Both Ways (Rounder). It is Krauss' first release since her 2007 internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum collaboration with Robert Plant, Raising Sand, which won six Grammys including "Record Of The Year" and "Album Of The Year."

Alison Krauss and Union Station features the talents of Krauss (fiddle and lead vocals), Dan Tyminski (guitar, mandolin and lead vocals), Barry Bales (bass and harmony vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar and harmony vocals), and Jerry Douglas (Dobro and harmony vocals). Paper Airplane was produced by the band and recorded in Nashville with engineer Mike Shipley (Maroon 5, The Cars, Def Leppard, Joni Mitchell). As bluegrass virtuosos the members of Union Station are beyond compare, and the music they create together transcends all genres. Their work on films such as Cold Mountain and O Brother, Where Art Thou? has contributed immeasurably to a renaissance of American roots music.

Part of Alison Krauss' incontestable talent is how effortlessly she bridges the gap between roots music and country, rock and pop. A highly sought-after collaborator, Krauss has worked with some of the biggest names in popular music, including James Taylor, Phish, Dolly Parton, Yo Yo Ma & Bonnie Raitt. Since signing with Rounder Records at the age of 14 in 1985 Krauss has sold in excess of 12 million albums and garnered 26 Grammy® Awards, the most for any female and the third most of any recording artist in Grammy® history.

Wil The Circle Be Unbroken Volume 2 CD

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

1989 MCA Nashville Records

Amazon.com

"We've lost the living room," Emmylou Harris says before her ethereal version of "Mary Danced with Soldiers," "but today I think we got it back." Full of back-home warmth, inspired pairings--Roseanne Cash and John Hiatt, Levon Helm and the host Nitty Gritty Dirt Band--and a song selection that walks the line between traditionals and excellent contemporary material, somehow this follow up to the barrier-breaking first volume is never nostalgic nor aimless. In fact, it's nearly as good--even John Denver sounds inspired. Jimmy Martin sings "Sitting on Top of the World" as if his life depended on it, and Ricky Skaggs and Levon Helm both turn in vocal performances that stand comfortably beside any of their careers. --Roy Francis Kasten

Tears, Lies and Alibis -- CD

Shelby Lynne

2010 Everso Records

Product Description

With Tears, Lies, and Alibis the follow-up to 2008's Just A Little Lovin' and the first release on her own label, Everso Records, Shelby Lynne affirms her position as a visionary, iconoclastic artist who deftly weaves country, soul, rock, blues, pop and folk influences to forge her own unique style. Like Identity Crisis (2003) and Suit Yourself (2005), this sparse, unguarded collection was produced by Lynne, who evokes a live-in-the-studio vibe from a stellar group of musicians.

Born in Quantico, VA, she grew up in Jackson, AL and headed to Nashville at an early age. At 18, Lynne s demos landed her an appearance on TNN s Nashville Now series, which led to a Top 50 duet ( "If I Could Bottle This Up" ) with George Jones and a record deal. Following the release of the critically acclaimed I Am Shelby Lynne in 2000, she won the GRAMMY® for Best New Artist. She made her acting debut in 2005, playing Johnny Cash's mother in the Fox Searchlight motion picture Walk the Line.

I remember watching his T.V. Show as a kid. People would give him a topic and he'd make up a song about it, on the spot. Lot's O'fun! :laughing-rolling:


Dennie

I remember that too, classic TV dinner fare on Sunday nights (growing up we always watched Hee Haw, Mac Davis' show, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom (poor Jim!), and before I left for college, Bill Cosby's show. Swanson's TV Dinners on real metal TV trays from Sears. :laughing-lettersrofl:

I can actually still remember one Mac Davis on-the-spot:
Audience member: "Gnats On The Water"
Mac:
"I have a friend, his name is Nat,
He has a beautiful daughter,
When she goes bathing in the lake,
ol' Nat's on the water..." (standard I-IV-V chord progression) :text-lol:

I think you are my long lost brother!! :scared-yipes: LOL

Yeah, those were simpler times. I was our first "Remote Control". "Dennie, go change the channel. Turn the volume up while you're there." "Not that much!" :angry-tappingfoot:

Ahhh, the good ol'Days!

Dennie :character-oldtimer:

PS I had the Swanson Chicken Dinner most of the time! :dance: Ummmm!

I think I may be your long lost Canadian cousin then, because that sounds like my Sunday nights too!!!

I can remember grabbing the tv dial at the 6 oclock position with your wrist all contorted to see if I could spin the dial all the way around one full revolution. Drove my mom nuts!!

Oh yeah, I'm listening to these guys right now!!

Truth be told I bought it because I liked their song from the Ed tv show!! Good album..er CD!!

In Through The Out Door

Led Zeppelin

1979 Swan Song Records

The last proper Led Zeppelin album shows the group's response to punk's encroachment to be a regal shrug and a continuation of the outsized heavy rock that made the band a legend. There are a few interesting stylistic detours--the almost salsa-like piano that drives "Fool in the Rain," the country-flavored hoedown of "Hot Dog"--but for the most part this is 1970s rock in the grandest style. John Paul Jones in particular struts his stuff here, his synthesizer powering "Carouselambra," Zeppelin's furthest excursion into prog rock, and sweetening "All My Love," a balladic requiem for Robert Plant's late son, Karac. Zeppelin sounds so assured on IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR it's hard to believe the end of the band was just around the corner.

Side one

1. "In the Evening" Jones, Page, Plant 6:49
2. "South Bound Saurez" Jones, Plant 4:12
3. "Fool in the Rain" Jones, Page, Plant 6:12
4. "Hot Dog" Page, Plant 3:17

Side two

LIVE!

Lou Rawls

1966 Capitol Records

At long last, September 22, 2005
By Thomas Honig (Santa Cruz, CA United States)
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)

This is truly one of the greatest jazz albums of the 1960s. It has it all: soul, humor and hipness. Lou Rawls is always good, but this recording shows him in his prime -- in great voice, and at the height of his creativity. The material is sensational, and so is the accompaniment. The great Herb Ellis is on guitar, and the piano player, Tommy Strode, brings tears to your eyes. Whatever happened to him? He should be in a hall of fame somewhere.

1. (They Call It) Stormy Monday by Walker 3:21
2. A. Southside Blues/B. Tobacco Road by Loudermilk/Rawls 7:56

The Kids Are Alright - Soundtrack -- 2 LP Set

The Who

1979 MCA Records

Amazon.com

Having been involved in one of the most painfully overwrought rock films ever produced (Ken Russell's Tommy), it was only just that the Who should also be the subject of one of the best rockumentaries ever--Jeff Stein's The Kids Are Alright. Inveterate Who fan Stein largely eschewed interviews and critical overinterpretation, instead wisely focusing on the band's musical performances as captured on TV appearances and in concert. That sensibility makes this soundtrack a rare showcase of the Who at their performing peak, gathering many previously unreleased live performances ("My Wife," "Young Man Blues," a medley of "Join Together/Roadrunner/My Generation Blues") some key outtakes (the anthem "Long Live Rock"), and especially some great TV turns that could occasionally be literally explosive, à la their incomparable Smother Brothers appearance. Stein's only staged performances, "Baba O'Riley" and the cynically anthemic "Won't Get Fooled Again," turned out to be as historic as they were electric. Filmed just months before Keith Moon's untimely 1978 death, the performances stand as his final public performance. This is the Who at their best; it seldom gets any better. --Jerry McCulley

Blow By Blow

Jeff Beck

1975 Epic Records

A guitarist's view, September 19, 2004
By Richard Christie (NZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)


This review is from: Blow By Blow (Audio CD)
I've been a professional guitarist and music teacher for over two and a half decades. I listen to guitar music day in and day out, ranging in style from Luis de Milan (1536) to Leo Brouwer and Alan Holdsworth. It isn't difficult to observe that almost all music that has survived the test of time has had something valid to say: some of it expresses well the particular fashion/taste of the period; some successfully pushes the existing musical boundaries; and some is just uniquely personal to its creator.

As a musician Jeff Beck belongs mostly within the last of the preceding three groups. Examination of his output suggests it would be hard to argue that he created any new genre, but whenever he experimented in a new field he always sounded unmistakably true to his own unique musical identity. I also believe that a creative performing musician can receive no greater compliment.

The hallmark of Beck's style is melodic fearlessness. This boldness sets him apart musically from perhaps 'superior' technical and 'harmonically informed' peers, especially those of the so-called 'improvisational' based jazz scene. Beck's playing is instantly recognisable and is almost devoid of cliche. Jeff Beck only ever sounds like Jeff Beck. On the occassion that he ever employs a tired phrase of (say) Chuck Berry's, it is in such a manner or in such a place as to turn it on its head or throw new light upon it.

To those wondering whether to add this CD to their collection I recommend that you bear in mind Duke Ellington's words - "There are only two kinds of music: good music and bad music", because this CD belongs unquestionably to the first category. All instrumental, it contains a variety of styles - including ballad, reggae, funk, and rock - read the other reviews for the details. And finally, please don't ever pretend to have any inkling of what Jeff Beck is about, or what he is capable of, without being familiar with this particular album.

Side one

1. "You Know What I Mean" Jeff Beck, Max Middleton 4:05

2. "She's A Woman" John Lennon and Paul McCartney 4:31

3. "Constipated Duck" Jeff Beck 2:48 <---Thank Goodness for instrumentals! :laughing-rolling:

4. "Air Blower" Beck, Middleton, Phil Chen, Richard Bailey 5:09

5. "Scatterbrain" Jeff Beck, Max Middleton 5:39

Side two

1. "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" Stevie Wonder 5:52

Acousticity

David Grisman

1984 Zebra Acoustic Records

By 1984, David Grisman's "Dawg Jazz" concept was at its prime. Grisman's string group (comprised of the leader's mandolin, violinist Jim Buchanan, guitarist Jon Sholle and bassist Rob Wasserman, plus guest drummer Hal Blaine) was flexible enough to play anything from bluegrass and folk music to swing; the latter is emphasized on this spirited set during such numbers as "Acousticity," "Blue Sky Bop," "Dawgalypso," and "Tango for Django." Recommended.

All compositions by David Grisman unless otherwise noted.

1. "Acousticity" – 4:11
2. "Dancin'" (Grisman, Jim Buchanan) – 4:22
3. "Brazilian Breeze" – 4:29
4. "Blue Sky Bop" (Rob Wasserman) – 4:49
5. "Dawgalypso (The Island Song)" – 3:45
6. "Tango for Django" – 3:04
7. "Richochet" (Grisman, R. Somers) – 2:18
8. "Newmonia" – 6:24
9. "Pamela" – 2:54
