JJ Cale - 8 CD

8 album for sale In almost diametrical opposition to the raw, boisterous styles of other Delta bluesmen of the same period, Mississippi John Hurt sings and plays in a quiet, understated, and frankly beautiful manner. Whereas Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson impress with pyrotechnically rhythmic fretwork and gutsy, dramatic vocal performances, Hurt's deft, strictly metrical guitar style and hushed but nuanced and sensitive voice dazzle in their own way. A farmhand in Avalon, Mississippi--a town of less than 100 people--Hurt spent the evenings of the '20s playing "household music," music intended only for the entertainment of family and friends and not for commercial gain. There is no way Hurt could have imagined the impact his music would have on the '60s folk revival movement or the significance and longevity that his achievements would enjoy. 1928 SESSIONS, issued by Yazoo with astonishingly clear sound, is arguably the finest document of Hurt's music. Shifts from traditional blues ("Avalon") to church music ("Blessed Be The Name") and such rags a "Stack O'Lee Blues" vary the tempo but never disrupt the gentle, homespun atmosphere. More textured works, such as "Frankie," spotlight Hurt's accomplished accenting technique on guitar. 1928 SESSIONS is an essential addition to any blues collection. Unknown Contributor Role: Mississippi John Hurt.

8 buy CD music I've been rappin for 9 years. I figure if you've got talent you can make music about anything so why not make it about what's most important in the world? I rap about poverty, non violence, anti conformity, anti greed, the environment, the need for equality, tolerance, and unity for all people and a lot more topics that I feel need to be heard. To improve the world we live in we need to shift the focus off of greed - we need to stop the rich from getting richer and start sharing the world's resources. People are dying from starvation while others have so much food they throw it out. People are also dying in pointless wars stemming from greed, intolerance, and division in society. I am all about activism through hip hop. I don't follow trends I start them. I'm a Non Conformist. I was named Tha Truth because people pointed out that this is what I bring through my lyrics. People need to see hip hop doesn't have to be the way it is. It wasn't always this way. It was about music. About expression. Before large multinational corporations came in and took it over. Nowadays everybody wanna act like Scarface and talk about their money, jewels, rims, and guns. I know corporations would like for hip hop to stay this way... Then we can all remain stupid and not question the greed, violence, and corruption that surround us in society. They are keeping people stupid and shallow and focused on trivial things. Money does not earn true friends it attracts fake people who want you for your money. Violence doesn't get respect it gets you dead or in prison in time. As people we need to stop supporting the corporation's strangle hold on hip hop and support independent artists. It takes REAL skills to talk about real issues and to display real intelligence while still keepin the music hot. It takes real strength to be a leader and to not follow the crowd but to lead it. This is what I do. Listen to my music and recognize how hip hop has the potential to bring people powerful messages about social change, social justice and awareness. I attend many rallies, events, benefits, marches, etc but you can find me in the streets any given day bringin the message through my music. We can't often find "Tha Truth" on major television or radio stations (which are owned by souless, greedy, corporations) but we can find it in real music like the kind I make. A man once said "The world is my country, all of human kind is my family, and to do good is my religion." This is how I feel. Peace, Tha Truth

8 songs Affecting a graceful introduction is, perhaps, not the primary concern of backwoods born Ronald Eric Granger, the now twenty-something son of a preacher man, whose nom de plume- Eric Vain- sums up his agenda as a blossoming musical satirist in three conveniently pun-worthy and cynical syllables. Befitting then, that the man who takes his own name in _ _ _ _ should audaciously release his first public debut, In Best of War & Love 2004-2007, as something of a greatest hits compilation. Is the joke on him, or is it on us? All handles (obviously) point to Vain. War & Love smarts of a clever scoff to chin of Vain's generation that goes beyond the musical, the lyrical. Blaspheming his way through genre, image, religion and the concept of the self, Vain exposes the core of his life and times as a sick joke worth the living. Walt Whitman's veritable tobacco wad has found reason to dance into it's own disgusting habit.
