John Prine In Spite Of Ourselves CD (1999)

Parallel Lives album

$13.55

Principally recorded at Jack's Tracks and MCA Publishing Studio, Nashville, Tennessee. Includes liner notes by John Prine and Jim Rooney. All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. IN SPITE OF OURSELVES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. John Prine's first post-neck cancer studio album finds him duetting on a slew of country classics and rustic obscurities with some high-caliber talent. Throughout IN SPITE OF OURSELVES, the main theme bounces between lovin' and cheatin' in different circumstances, be it swapping spouses ("Let's Invite Them Over," with Iris DeMent) or being discreet in a small town ("In a Town This Size," with Dolores Keane). Backed by crying pedal steel, mournful dobros, and rippling piano, Prine makes the kind of classic country ...

Richard Shindell Reunion Hill CD (1997)

Parallel Lives CD music

$14.65

In "The Next Best Western," the opening track of this terrific collection of tunes, life on the road takes its toll both literally and figuratively. The narrator goes so far as to question God's motives as he rolls along the turnpike: "Did he who made the lamb/Put the tremble in the hand/That reaches out to take my quarter?" Indeed, Shindell works in landscapes of desperation and longing throughout the album, with fugitives ("May"), absent fathers ("I Saw My Youth Today") and other assorted average Joes that you pass on the street every day. Producer Larry Campbell places these stories in spare and beautiful surroundings, never ...

David Mallett This Town CD (1993)

Parallel Lives music CDs

$10.65

A folk/rock/pop effort that sometimes detours into pop-country, This Town showed Dave Mallet to be a thoughtful and expressive storyteller. Mallet was also an obscure storyteller -- this little known CD wasn't a huge seller by any means. But those who were lucky enough to hear it agreed that Mallet was someone who deserved a higher profile. The singer did much of the writing on This Town, and the stories that he tells are stories that stick with you. "Main Street" laments the commercialization of a small town, while "How Much More" and "Take the Time" question the fast-paced, rat-race lifestyle of the '90s. All of these songs sound quite personal to Mallett, who obviously has a great fondness for small-town America ...

David Mallett Inches & Miles CD (1990)

Parallel Lives songs

$14.35

All songs recorded at Neworld, Blue Hills Falls, Maine; PACB, Bath, Maine. Between 1978 and 1981, Maine-based folk singer/songwriter David Mallett released three LPs on Neworld Records, an independent label run by Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary, David Mallett, Pennsylvania Sunrise, and Hard Light. Then, Mallett signed to the larger folkie independent Flying Fish Records. As of 1986, he was calling himself Dave Mallett, working out of Nashville, and trying to place songs with country music performers. This compilation album looks back at those first three albums, culling about two-thirds of the material for a 66-minute CD. Although he was only in his mid- to late twenties at the time, Mallett comes off as an old soul, embracing tradition in songs full of nature imagery with references to farmers and fishermen. Some songs are set on trains ("Dulcimer," "Pennsylvania Sunrise") and contain references to long-distance love and being away from home, trademark ...

Iris Dement Infamous Angel CD (1992)

Parallel Lives album

$10.65

To many fans, Iris DeMent's debut INFAMOUS ANGEL remains the best work of her career. Unlike her later records, which sometimes get mired in political dogmatism and bleak melancholy, INFAMOUS ANGEL is the work of a wide-eyed innocent extolling the simple virtues of love, faith, and home. From the whimsical spiritualism of "Let the Mystery Be" to the brisk love song "Hotter Than Mojave in my Heart" through to the album's closing affirmation of faith (the traditional gospel classic "Higher Ground"), INFAMOUS ANGEL evokes a world full of promise and possibility. Best of all are "Our Town," a loving tribute to a dying small town, and "Mama's Opry," a stunningly effective reminiscence of childhood and the effect of a mother's love of music. Accompaniment on all 11 tracks is sparse but sublime, unsurprising given the all-star cast of musicians who appear here: ...
