Banjos That Destroyed the World is the album that happens when banjos and bluegrass get warp drive engines attached. The majority of the disc is taken by Wynn Osborne, with tracks from Pinnacle Boys, the Nashville Superpickers (who melt down Lennon/McCartney's "Paperback Writer" and "Take It Easy"), the Stonemans and Don Reno. The 16 cuts here manage to be inventive, complex, and often amusing (there's something jovial about banjo music), and if you want more than banjos traveling at Indy 500 speeds, there's a lot of neat warp-speed fiddling happening, too. ~ Steven McDonald

Johnson's WE GOT TO STOP THIS KILLIN' raised the eyebrow of many a hardcore blues fan with it's unadulterated, hard-hitting approach to a mixture of Chicago and Delta blues. The follow-up ALL THE WAY BACK continues in much the same vein as its predecessor. Again there are tunes that show Johnson's ...

$21.75  
This four-disc set provides the ultimate guide to the musical madness of Spike Jones, the bandleader whose inspired insanity provided comic relief whenever the mainstream musical styles of the day seemed too serious. Along with his City Slickers, Jones specialized in parodic versions of material from the worlds of pop, jazz, country, classical, you name it--no genre was safe from his sonic terrorism.
Instead of merely tacking funny lyrics onto a familiar tune, Jones took a comprehensive approach to musical mockery, ...

Banjos That Destroyed The World CD music

With V.3, Fabrizio De André confirmed a trend that would define the first part of his career, that of alternating singles and concept albums. Before becoming famous upon the release of his first LP, between 1961 and 1966 De André recorded several singles for the obscure Karim label (later available in the compilations Tutto Fabrizio de André and Nuvole Barocche). Once he started making LPs, De André appeared to work out an arrangement with producer Antonio Casetta that would allow him to explore new directions, provided that he also continued writing in the manner of his early songs -- which in the meantime had become very popular. Therefore, V.3, the second 1968 De André release, was sandwiched between the ambitious concept albums Tutti Morimmo a Stento (1968) and La Buona Novella(1970), but it consisted chiefly of previously released songs, albeit in improved, definitive versions. In fact, there is no new original material on V.3, as six of the album's ten songs had already appeared as singles and the other four consisted of two Georges Brassens covers and a 14th century French song (all three translated into Italian), and an adaptation of a Cecco Angiolieri text, a contemporary of Dante Alighieri who is considered the first Italian poet maudit.
V.3 proved a very shrewd commercial initiative (reaching number one and staying in the Italian charts for two years), as it made widely available some of De André's best songs that people had been hearing about for years, but could not be easily found in stores. In fact, the two most famous songs of the entire De André repertoire, "La Canzone di Marinella" and "La Guerra di Piero," are both included on this album. These songs offer an excellent example of what constitutes De André's signature style, and why it was perceived as a revelation for the Italian audiences of the late '60s. While Italian pop music was usually dominated by novelty numbers, De André's songs sounded as if they were written several centuries ago. This impression resulted from the musical genres chosen -- such as waltzes, tarantellas, javas, and medieval ballads -- as well as from the poetic and anachronistic language employed. Even more important was the deliberate timelessness of the songs' settings. In "La Guerra di Piero," nothing in the song indicates as to when these events take place: Piero is the unknown, unwilling soldier from any war since the invention of gunpowder. Similarly, "La Canzone di Marinella" echoes the world and language of romance literature or fairy tales, but this could also be the story of any two ordinary, doomed lovers. Yet, De André was allegedly inspired by real-life events to write these two songs -- the memories of an uncle who had been in a WWII concentration camp and the sordid murder of a young girl who had been forced into prostitution, strangled by her pimp, with her body dumped into a river. In his adaptation of events into song, De André switched specificity and misery ...
