WITH THE DUKE ROBILLARD BAND includes the last live recordings of Jimmy Witherspoon.
The material on this album was recorded in concert shortly before Jimmy Witherspoon's death at age 74, and it appears that this was his last recording. The significance of that fact cuts both ways on this attractive but sometimes frustrating album. On the one hand, fans will welcome it as a last document of Witherspoon's undeniable talent and presence. On the other hand, it's hard to overlook the fact that by this point he was no longer at the peak of his powers. Although he tries gamely to generate the energy of his past work -- and occasionally succeeds, as on the electrifying "I'll Always Be in Love With You" -- for the most part his voice is phlegmy and weak, his intonation approximate at best. Duke Robillard works well with Witherspoon, goosing his band to a level of energy intended to invigorate the aging singer without overpowering him, and delivering sharp and witty solos that keep things lively and interesting. There is also a fine cameo appearance by the British blues singer Long John Baldry, whose presence also seems to give Witherspoon a shot in the arm. Overall, though, this is an album that will appeal primarily to diehard fans of the singer and to Robillard completists. ~ Rick Anderson

1ST PLACE WINNER, TRADITIONAL SINGING, 2006 TOPANGA BANJO FIDDLE CONTEST AND FOLK FESTIVAL"We keep singing along to Monster Truck weeks later!" -- Parent from a June 2005 live concert"I cannot count the number of people who thoroughly enjoyed both listening and singing along to your sessions -- it is a day that I will remember and cherish." Hosts of Museums of the Arroyo Day from a pair of May 2005 concerts"Four CDs please -- I want to share this with our friends." Parents at a recent concertThis album shares songs from Gigi Johnson & Mike Salas's folk music live cable TV show in the San Gabriel Valley area of Southern California. Join Gigi & Mike, as well as some charming kids, for in-studio sing-alongs that combine music from the 1700s through 1920s. Some songs will be known and loved by adults; others are new and old favorites of kids. Gigi & Mike have been amazed that families just don't seem to sing as much any more. The songs we grew up with aren't in their lives, except perhaps at church or Scout camp. Parents aren't as comfortable as older generations were in singing with their kids. Schools are finding less and less time in the school week to introduce songs for teaching about language arts, social culture, and history. So Gigi & Mike's sing-along songs are trying to bring folk singing back into the family and back into children's lives. And with "Crunchy PartyMix," Gigi & Mike are glad to share that adventure with you, even if you don't live in the Los Angeles Basin to come to some of their frequent family-fun hootenannies for young and old.The many "Ingredients" to this "Crunchy PartyMix":1.
