Virginia native James King's Rounder debut is a solid set of bluegrass in the tradition of the Stanley Brothers and other '50s bluegrass icons both famous and obscure. The stellar backup band includes several former members of the Johnson Mountain Boys. King's vocals are emotional, soulful and just right, and Dudley Connell adds a strong tenor vocal to most of the songs. ~ Ben O'Connor
Recorded in 1993.
Personnel: James King (vocals); David McLaughlin (guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Dudley Connell (guitar, background vocals); Tom Adams (banjo); Tim Smith (fiddle); Marshall Wilborn (bass).

This 50th anniversary sampler ("sampler," not "best-of" or something like that, is the term used on the sleeve) commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Vanguard label. Vanguard has recorded some important music, particularly in the folk, blues, and folk-rock fields in the 1960s. This is not the best way to get acquainted with its catalog, due to its incomplete survey of its most significant holdings, the questionable choice of some of the tracks, and the uneven listening that's guaranteed by interspersing different styles with each other. Disc ...
| | Graham Haynes BPM CD (2000)
These Old Pictures songs
$14.35
On BPM (i.e.,"beats per minute"), Graham Haynes intermingles Miles-influenced horn lines, techno rhythms, world music grooves, ambient textures, and -- brace yourself -- samples of Wagnerian opera, with surprisingly successful results. The CD begins forcefully with "Variations on a Theme by Wagner," inspired by Richard Wagner's final opera "Parsifal." Heavy with the sound of timpani, the rhythm pounds away beneath an almost reserved solo by Haynes during the piece's middle section. Haynes concentrates on his horn's middle register and seems to choose his phrases carefully, drawing out and clearly articulating the notes with nary a hint of vibrato. He holds the listener's attention with lyricism and understatement, which are juxtaposed effectively against the metronomic precision of the rhythm track.
Those preferring rhythmic flexibility and a more open, jazzier feel might prefer "Variation No. 2," also inspired by Wagner's "Parsifal." The bass on this piece has a refreshingly organic sound ...

| | Lee Ritenour Rit's House CD (2002)
These Old Pictures CD music
$15.39
Creatively, Lee Ritenour has had his ups and downs over the years. Many of the guitarist's commercial pop-jazz efforts have wasted his skills as an improviser; when Ritenour is catering to NAC/smooth jazz radio, improvisation is the usually the first thing to go. But when Ritenour does have a chance to stretch out, he can be an appealing improviser. Although quite accessible, Rit's House is among his more memorable and substantial efforts. This 2002 release has a soul-jazz/post-bop outlook that often recalls the late '60s and early '70s; for the most part, it is the sort of album that guitarist Grant Green would have been comfortable recording during that era. But Ritenour's guitar playing owes a lot more to Wes Montgomery, who is obviously his primary influence on Gabor Szabo's "Mizrab," as well as original tunes like "78th & 3rd" (which features organist Joey DeFrancesco) and the dusky "Olinda." One of the CD's best tracks has nothing to do with jazz: "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic." Featuring former Doobie Brothers vocalist Michael McDonald, this interesting remake of the Police's 1981 hit is not only a departure from the rest of the album -- it is also a big departure from the original version. While the Police's version was up-tempo pop/rock, Ritenour and McDonald transform "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" into an adult contemporary/quiet storm ballad. That track is the CD's only vocal offering; the rest of Rit's House is instrumental. Arguably, 1992's Wes Bound is still Ritenour's best studio album -- certainly from a jazz perspective. But this CD is also respectable, and ...
| | Here Comes Everybody Submarines CD (2005)
These Old Pictures music CDs
$7.99
The band's most ambitious recording to date, Here Comes Everybody has crafted their very own kind of piano rock opera, a concept album that runs the musical gamut from the jaunty pop bounce of "Hole," the opening track, to the jazz infused mood pieces of "Meanwhile" and "Swimming," to the progressive, spooky propulsion of "Objects Are Closer," and finally to the penultimate pop-rock anthem of the title track, "Submarine."A continuous narrative over ten songs, "Submarines" is a story told by a boy with one arm, the result of a tragic accident with a piece of heavy machinery, obliquely referred to as a turbine engine. The boy tells another parallel story, the arc of which, over the ...
| | Johnny Cash Walking The Line: The Legendary Sun Recordings CDs (2005) Import; Boxed Set
These Old Pictures songs
$17.69
Metro's 2005 release Walking the Line: The Legendary Sun Recordings is a budget-priced triple-disc set that contains the great majority of the 60-some songs that Johnny Cash recorded for Sun. Since it weighs in at 54 songs, it doesn't have everything, and some of the missing items are pretty good, but all the big hits are here, presented with no muss or fuss. In fact, this is a pretty bare-bones set, with no liner notes or information about the songs outside of basic songwriting credits -- but if you're the kind of listener who's bothered by this, go to Time-Life's triple-disc The Complete Sun Recordings ...
