One of James Cotton's best studio albums, HIGH COMPRESSION neatly splits the difference between traditional '50s and '60s Chicago blues and more contemporary funk influences. About half the cuts feature his '80s touring band, who put a modern spin on Bobby Bland's "Ain't Doing Too Bad" and have a ball covering Steve Miller's "Ying Yang."
The other cuts feature veteran Chicago sidemen Magic Slim and Pinetop Perkins. The sound gets low down and Muddy Waters-esque, particularly on "23 Hours Too Long," which gives rise to one of Cotton's most impassioned performances ever, both vocally and on harp.
Recorded at Streeterville Studios, Chicago, Illinois. Includes liner notes by Ashley "The Cincinnati Kid" Kahn.
Personnel: James Cotton (vocals, harmonica); Magic Slim, Michael Coleman (guitar); Douglas Fagen (tenor saxophone); Danny Fields (trumpet); Johnny Cotton (trombone); Pinetop Perkins (piano); Eddie Harsch (keyboards); Robert Covington, Ray Allison (drums).

A little over one year ago I met Adam Falcon at one of my gigs at the sadly now defunct, Danny's.com Cafe in Ossining NY. Danny told me that there was a really heavy guitar player in the audience, using names like Roberta Flack and George Benson. I wasn't paying attention, after all, there are lots of heavy players in New York. Once I heard Adam play - I paid attention! I asked him to get together to share tunes and tea. Each time we did, we would end up playing til past 3AM. A few months later I suggested that we start doing a little gig together up in New Paltz . There, we play for three to four hours, each ...
| | Moody Blues Lovely To See You: Live CDs (2005)
High Compression songs
$13.89
This concert album contains several surprises, not the least of which is its existence -- it's the third issued by the Moody Blues since the late 1980s. But it's also unique, featuring the band by itself, unaccompanied; all of their concert recordings since the 1979 issue of Caught Live + 5 -- which contained a 1960s concert -- have offered the group backed up by orchestras of varying sizes, which made for impressive sonics but reduced the spontaneity and raw excitement that should be inherent in a rock concert. The group, now a core trio of guitarist/singer Justin Hayward, bassist/guitarist/singer John Lodge, and drummer/singer Graeme Edge, with second percussionist Gordon Marshall, keyboardist Paul Bliss, keyboard player/backing singer Bernie Barlow, and flautist Norda Mullen (replacing retired founding member Ray Thomas). It's nice to know that Hayward and Lodge still have powerful and expressive voices, and the band still has a good, cohesive pop/rock sound, which holds things together even when the newer material isn't quite as strong or as memorable as their older songs. So "Lean on Me (Tonight)" holds up, even in the company of pieces like "The Story in Your Eyes" and "Tuesday Afternoon." The other major treat for longtime fans will be the embrace of some songs going back as far as four decades which haven't been in their repertory in many years, including "The Actor" and "Are You Sitting Comfortably?"; Edge's "Higher and Higher" is nicely stretched out into something of a jam by the band, with some impressive guitar pyrotechnics, and "Ride My See-Saw" is also given a leaner, longer treatment than it has received in the past. The presence of this material makes up for the absence of "Legend of a Mind," which seems ...

A proper bio of Conservative Man is a bio of dual personalities.On record: an indie/shoegaze/power pop band, with inflections of downtempo, electronica, synth pop, new wave, britpop, and psychedelia. Drawing a vocal influence heavily from The Beatles, David Bowie, and the 80's new wavers, and juxtaposing it with the harmonic ideas and atmospherics of more modern acts, such as Doves, Interpol, Radiohead, and Beck.Live: everything gets thrown out the window, what's left is raw energy. And now kids, story time-On the one hand:Conservative Man is Ian McCarthy, a one-man recording artist, based in New Hampshire. The original work began in a basement bedroom in Philadelphia, born of a frustration with music education. With borrowed gear, and a microphone from RadioShack, the demos "Where Have I Gone?" "The Karma Series" and "Vendetta" were made, and passed around to friends. Relocating to native New England in 2005, a much needed studio upgrade was built in the mountains of western N.H., known as Outpost North- where I lived in near seclusion for 2 years, writing the first Conservative Man LP, "Communique." A light, poorly produced acoustic pop fluff record with a limited online release, it garnered little to no attention, with the exception of the track "Turn," which earned a slot in the top 10 songs of the "Last Band Standing" contest of the Boston Phoenix and WFNX.More frustration ensued. This time, the self kind. "Communique" was a bastard. A long, hard look in the mirror. Writing began in earnest again in the winter of 2006/2007 on the follow up, the oft mispronounced "Mirabel and the Hikikomori." This was an album of romance, vengeance, loss, and self-honesty. (finally!) I call it "the dream with teeth." 2008, it sees its due release. I'd like to think of it as the first "official" Conservative Man record. This is the album where the sound of Conservative Man starts, and it is also where the identity of said band splits:On the other ...
