Strictly The Best Vol. 20 songs
$14.45
The Meditations are a prime example of the sort of excellent roots harmony trios successful during the second have of the 1970s. Built around the interweaving lines of singers Ansel Cridland, Danny Clarke, and Winston Watson, their potential was made clear by the early singles the group cut for Dobby Dobson at Federal Records, beginning in 1975. Dobson followed up those early works with a debut full-length, Message From the Meditations, in 1976. Three songs from that set are included on Greatest Hits, along with other late-'70s material. From the beginning, the trio had the finest Jamaican sessionmen behind them. Bass players Val Douglas, Boris Gardiner, and Robbie Shakespeare; keyboardists Winston Wright and Earl "Wire" Lindo; and drummer Sly Dunbar were among the various rhythm teams employed for the band's sessions. The interplay between solid bass and drum foundations, bubbling organ lines, and wah-wah guitar rhythms resulted in a sound as rough and rugged as it was fluid. From their early days, Cridland was the principle song writing force in the group, though strong contributions from Clarke and Watson revealed that the Meditations always had more depth than the current selections from their unofficial leader's songbook. Recorded by Lee "Scratch" Perry at a bustling Black Ark, Clarke's "Running From Jamaica" is a highlight. Unfortunately, classic Upsetter singles like "No Peace" and "Think So" are absent, surprising omissions considering Shanachie has gathered a mere ten songs on Greatest Hits. While Heartbeat's Deeper Roots set is a little more comprehensive (adding the Perry titles, as well as songs from Cridland's first group, the Linkers), this is still one of the best introductions to the Mediations. ~ Nathan Bush

Includes a 100 page booklet with biography, discography, a photo archive, and liner notes by Martin Carthy, Nigel Schofield, Colin Irwin, John Kirkpatrick, John Peel, Dave Swarbrick, and John Roberts.
It would be far too easy to simply call this the definitive Martin Carthy compilation. Given its length -- four CDs plus a CD-ROM -- it would seem to cover all the high spots. In fact, it goes far deeper, looking at his career not chronologically, but splitting the albums into Classic Carthy, Carthy in Company, Carthy Contemporaries, and Child: Carthy. It's an approach that works well and which also discovers plenty of hidden gems that have never seen the light of day before, from early live performances to tracks by his first band, Three City Four, that have never been reissued on CD. It all underscores the fact that Carthy is a major force in English -- and British -- folk music, someone who deserves every plaudit he's ever been given, whether for his understated guitar technique or his thoughtful interpretations of traditional songs, illustrated here on the first and last discs. And while his reputation rests heavily on that traditional arrangement of material, he's done a good share of modern work, too, whether his own, all-too-infrequent compositions like "Company Policy," Dylan, Richard Thompson, or even Gilbert O'Sullivan. From solo work to duets with fiddler Dave Swarbrick, the bold Brass Monkey, and Waterson:Carthy, the man plowed a lot of furrows and the compilers of this set have gone over them all with a very fine-toothed comb. Add to that an excellent booklet, and one has an outstanding set and a well-deserved tribute to one of the great folk figures. ~ Chris Nickson

| | Bobby Previte & The New Bump Set The Alarm For Monday CD (2008)
Strictly The Best Vol. 20 CD music
$13.05
Bobby Previte has always been an unusual musician. While his drumming is versatile, swinging in its own way, and adaptable to a wide variety of musical settings, his writing is always inventive and somewhat quirky. On Set the Alarm for Monday, he contributed all nine selections for a sextet of adventurous improvisers. Previte conceived the nine pieces as a suite and he sought out players who would fit the sound he had in mind. His group, which he calls the New Bump, has tenor saxophonist Ellery Eskelin as the most impressive soloist, and vibraphonist Bill Ware as a very significant player in the ensembles. Much of the music sounds a bit like a soundtrack, with a simple rhythmic figure sometimes serving as the basis for the piece and the playing ending inconclusively. The music does not feel quite finished, nor as memorable as one might expect, with the individual playing and the ensemble colors being more notable than the compositions. Still, Set the Alarm for Monday grows ...
