Masters album
$11.99 While its predecessor, 2005's HOPE AND DESIRE, found blues-rocker Susan Tedeschi getting on a soul train, BACK TO THE RIVER represents that phrase beloved by hardcore fans of any artist, "a return to form." Tedeschi is back to the hard-hitting, bluesy sound with which she made her name, and her joy ...
| | Isaac Hayes Shaft (Deluxe Edition) CD (1971) SDTK
Masters CD music
$9.25 Despite its codification into our collective pop culture consciousness, Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft" is a highly original composition. It's been remade by Hayes himself for the remade Shaft film, and appropriately kicks off this collection of tunes from the movie by some of R&B's New Jacks.

| | Peter Lang Dharma Blues CD (2002)
Masters music CDs
$17.69 One always wonders what happened to an artist who recorded several albums and then dropped out of sight for 25 years. Guitarist Peter Lang notes that he distanced himself from the music business, though not music itself, in 1978. Turning 50, however, prompted him to give recording another shot. Dedicated to John Fahey, Dharma Blues pretty much picks up where Lang and his fellow pickers left off in the 1970s. Unlike Fahey or, say, Robbie Basho, however, Lang's fingerpicking seldom uses dissonance or shows the influence of Eastern music. Instead, "Thicker Than Wicker" and "Walter's Wings" offer melodic, free-flowing lines that are easy on the ears. Like his friends, however, he does combine multiple styles ranging from folk to blues, and more often than not utilizes open tunings. In "Poor Boy/Guitar Rag" and "Halloween Blues," in particular, Lang emphasizes country blues with a slide guitar, while the title cut features a more open-ended approach to the genre played in a standard tuning. Most of the pieces on Dharma Blues are self-penned and have enough bite to keep them from falling into new age sameness. Lang says that it's more difficult physically to record an album than it was 25 years ago, but he's nonetheless accomplished what he set out to do. Guitar players and aficionados will be glad that he did. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
"Lang is still firmly rooted in the 60s/70's John Fahey/Leo Kottke blues/folk/Americana styling that he helped pioneer, and it's certainly refreshing to hear it being played this well by one of the old masters . . . Let's hope it doesn't take Lang another 20 years to produce a follow-up" Â DIRTY LINEN, May 2003 PETER LANG was discovered and recorded in 1972 by the legendary guitarist John Fahey who signed Lang to his own label, Takoma Records. Fahey launched the careers of other notable artists on Takoma, including Leo Kottke, George Winston, Robbie Basho, Bola Sete and others. Peter Lang toured, recorded and performed for nearly ten years, developing a reputation as one of the nations top acoustic players. In the 70's he was in good company, having recorded or performed with Ry Cooder, John Fahey, Jerry Garcia, Chet Atkins, John Hartford, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Emmylou Harris, Leo Kottke, Freddie King, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, John Hammond, Keith Jarrett, Phoebe Snow, Maria Muldaur, The Yellowjackets, Robben Ford, and many others. Long considered one of America's premier finger-style guitarists, Lang returned to music after a 20 year hiatus ...
| | Jody Williams You Left Me In The Dark CD (2004)
Masters songs
$13.85 Proving that 2002's appropriately titled Return of a Legend was no one-off fluke, semi-legendary Chicago guitarist Jody Williams cements his comeback with this invigorating follow-up. Producer Dick Shurman, who worked on the previous disc, frames Williams' expressive voice and clean, jazzy guitar in a subtle, frills-free environment that brings out his best. The album's 13 originals (and one Sam Cooke cover) showcase Williams' talents as a fluid, understated, yet soulful guitarist; witty songwriter; and, more importantly, a singer of surprising passion. Esteemed horn arranger Willie Henderson also returns from the last album to add his arrangements to four tracks, highlighted by the simmering, staccato touches on a remake of Williams' "Hideout," originally recorded in 1962. Part Freddie King's "Hideaway," part Earl King's "Come On," it's an accurate, updated example of Williams' six-string prowess. Although the majority of the tracks are straightforward Chicago shuffles and slow blues, the guitarist infuses his upbeat personality to the proceedings, which makes the album so consistently refreshing. Stellar accompaniment by keyboardist Rob Walters and guest shots from Robert Jr. Lockwood and Lonnie Brooks certainly don't hurt (Brooks' vocals and guitar sizzle on ...
| | Tony Levin Resonator CD (2006)
Masters album
$13.49 Bass legend Tony Levin, who is the only bass player Peter Gabriel will take with him on tour and who has also toured and recorded with Paul Simon, Sarah McLachlan, Peter Frampton, and many others, as well as occupying the bass chair with King Crimson for over 25 years, has released music under his own name before. But Resonator is the first album to feature his vocals and lyrics, and while it's never safe to assume that instrumental brilliance will necessarily translate into lyrical skill or vocal ability, in this case Levin seems to have the hat trick. That's not to say that his voice is especially exciting, but it's not embarrassing, and his lyrics are generally ...

| | Void's Anatomy Shades Of A Vast Moment CD (2006)
Masters music CDs
$15.89 Void's anatomy is the solo project of Marie Jorge. With this first title, Void's anatomy guides us in a universe filled with nuance, an organic and textured soundscape in which are evolving songs loaded with truth. through slow rythms, guitar, violins, music box and vibraphone lightness climbs to melt into heavier organ, distorsion bass and percussions intensity.Beautifull cover folder, 16 pages with photographs made by the artist including all the lyrics.LMNOP®/babysue® review:"The tunes on Shades of a Vast Moment are decidedly subtle and serious. Marie's soothing, almost folky tunes are pushed to the next level by the clever use of odd electronics, keyboards, and strings. Her voice is strangely atmospheric...and extremely effective for this style of music. Moody and slightly peculiar, this is an album that doesn't fit into easily defined categories. We can't help but be impressed by the colorful imagination inherent in tracks like "Inner Out," "Life Sleeps" (our favorite), "Somehow," and "The Dead Part of You." Moody and compelling music. (Rating: 5++)"(http://www.babysue.com/2007-Jan-LMNOP-Reviews.html)Feminist ...
