Respect Yourself songs
$8.49 ROCKS THE HOUSE is the only live recording from Etta James' Chess recording career (late 1950s to mid 1960s).
Recorded live at The New Era Club, Nashville, Tennessee on September 27 and 28, 1963. Originally released on Argo (4032). Includes liner notes by Ralph Bass and by Don Snowden.
Digitally remastered by Paul Elmore (MCA Studios, North Hollywood, California).
Though the studio albums Etta James made for Chess in the 1960s usually had the blues singer surrounded by lush production and string-heavy arrangements, this live date finds her performing with only a rhythm section, organist, guitarist, and tenor saxophonist. The singer seems to respond to both ...

| | J T "Funny Paper" Smith Complete Recorded Works (1930-1931) CD (1991) Import
Respect Yourself music CDs
$13.25 John T. Smith, known variously as The Howling Wolf, Funny Papa, or (by default) Funny Paper Smith, was an itinerant blues singer who accompanied himself on the guitar while circulating throughout Texas during the 1920s and early '30s. Between September 1930 and April 1935 he made phonograph records for Vocalion as a solo act and in the company of a few of his friends. Out of more than 50 sides involving Smith that were listed in the studio logs, more than half were never issued and have since disappeared. Happily, his 22 prime performances, captured in Chicago in 1930 and 1931, were compiled and reissued on compact disc by Document in 1991 under the heading of Funny Paper Smith, the name that appeared by mistake on his 78 rpm platters. As a wandering entertainer, Smith could be compared with "Ragtime Texas" Henry Thomas, but that individual was a full-time train-hopping hobo while Smith is believed to have worked for awhile as a foreman on a plantation. Other distinct differences between the two musicians were instrumentation (Thomas broadly strummed his chords and sometimes blew into a panpipe of his own devising); style (much of what Thomas doled out was folksier than Smith's straightforward, hard-edged blues) and temperament, as Thomas comes across as gentle and old-fashioned when compared with Smith, whose lyrics regularly reference abuse, violence, and even murder. This tendency, and his incarceration following a homicide, place him more in league with wife-killer Texas Alexander. In contrast with many of his contemporaries who swiftly adapted to the parameters of recording technology, Smith's preference was to stretch out and express himself within a time frame that sometimes exceeded the duration of the three-minute record. Four of the titles on this collection spilled over onto the flipside, with the ""Howling Wolf Blues"" eventually filling four sides for a total of nearly 11 minutes. When Chester Burnett took on the name Howlin' Wolf a few years later, he was invoking his own masculine power, loneliness, and tendency to moan like a wild animal. Judging from the harshness of some of the words on this album, Funny Papa's adoption of the Wolf seems to have betokened a ferocity of which he was obviously proud. Smith's "funniest" lines, heard on ""The Fool's Blues,"" are a little bit self-deprecating, but most of the time he kept his defenses up while singing about real life, which for him meant being dark-skinned within the U.S.'s racially encoded caste system, and about being a man with passions, habits, and tendencies that could and did escalate into violence. ""Tell It to the Judge"" is a vaudeville duet with Dessa Foster that lasts nearly six minutes; she portrays a bootlegger while Smith poses first as a prohibition agent, ...
| | Tony Campise Strange Beauty CD (1995)
Respect Yourself songs
$12.89 Tony Campise has never become a huge name in the jazz world, but those familiar with the Texas saxman really swear by him. Listening to Strange Beauty, it isn't hard to see why Campise's small group of admirers sings his praises with such enthusiasm. The improviser isn't the least bit innovative, but when it comes to playing hard bop with warmth and feeling, he is very much in command of the situation. This solid CD finds Campise leading a quintet that employs Joe LoCascio on piano, Fred Hamilton on guitar, John Adams on bass, and Ed Soph on drums. The Texan plays three different saxophones (tenor, alto, and -- to a lesser degree -- soprano), and he also takes an occasional flute solo. Seven of the 13 tracks ...

| | Deep Forest Boheme CD (1995) (Import) Australia
Respect Yourself CD music
$23.65 The two producers who are Deep Forest are folklorists with keyboards and samplers and visions of one world. Instead of traveling back-country roads and recording native singers on their home turf, they comb the world of recorded music and sample the natives; and instead of presenting them as they are, they mix and match them and supply the beats themselves. Following a debut that was based on Pygmy music from Central Africa, BOHEME scans the landscape of Eastern Europe and Asia for the exotic sounds of throat singing, cantorial chanting and Hungarian folk melodies. Add in ambient dance tracks and keyboards blips, and you have Tuvan techno.
