This is Robert Belfour's debut, recorded when he was 59. Born and raised in northern Mississippi, Belfour's acoustic blues are confident and vivid, drawing on influences from the southern delta area of his state. After a move to Memphis and several decades spent working in the construction business, he began performing and touring earnestly in the mid '90s.
Besides his fluid fingerpicking style and strummed guitar playing, he's an impassioned singer and strong writer. These nine songs could have come from just about any decade in the 20th Century, from the '20s onward. Recorded with straightforward simplicity, this set's sound is rich and warm in detail. The album sounds timeless without being museum-bound reverent. Robert Belfour may be part of a tradition, but he's also brought Delta Blues forward with marvelous style and grace.

What's Wrong With You album
 $12.59  
Robert Belfour's sophomore effort for Fat Possum -- at 63, he is one of the youngest artists on the roster and is by far the most "polished," if the Delta blues can ever really be called that -- proves his debut was indeed only a beginning. In stark contrast to his labelmates, Belfour strictly plays acoustic blues, but he plays them with the same dark, trancelike feel of Junior Kimbrough, haunting spookiness of Fred McDowell, rhythmic intensity of John Lee Hooker, and sprawling drawl of Lightnin' Hopkins. Ted Gainey aids Belfour on a drum kit. While the first album was all of a piece, and everything but the vocal seemed to be recorded at the same level (and even then, Belfour couldn't always be understood among the ringing guitars and shuffling drums), Pushin' My Luck is nervier, a bit more edgy. Belfour's truly nearly unbelievable singing is a bit more in the foreground, enough to add to the hypnotic repetition in his music, while the drums -- played no more elaborately than Meg White's in the White Stripes -- are mixed just a tad higher, bringing it extremely close to the punch this stuff has when played in front of a live audience. Fans of Kimbrough's guitar playing ...

What's Wrong With You CD music
$12.69  
Joanna Newsom plays the harp, looks like an elf princess, and sings in a squeaky child-like voice, all of which contribute to her unique charm. Like her pal and frequent collaborator Devendra Banhart, she's also a shining light of the early 2000s neo-folk movement, which bonds quirky wordplay ...

$11.99 
Initial pressings of OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS comes with a 4-song bonus CD.
While Sam Beam's self-recorded first outing as Iron & Wine, THE CREEK DRANK THE CRADLE, features a hushed bedroom atmosphere, his second full-length album, OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS, invites listeners into a slightly larger living room. Here there's enough space for an outside producer (Brian Deck) and additional musicians (including Sam's sister Sara on harmony vocals). Though Beam's musical palette has broadened to occasionally include drums, bass, and various stringed instruments, ...

What's Wrong With You album
$13.85
Where a lot of indie pop bands pay lip service to the old punk "anyone can do it" spirit and the childlike aesthetic of bands from the Beach Boys through Young Marble Giants and Heavenly, it's rare to find a group who puts their money where their mouth is. The Birmingham, AL, sibling duo of Leslie and Reed Lochamy delivers on both counts: respectively, the Lochamys play banjo and clarinet on a song apiece for their debut album, despite the fact that neither had ever picked up either instrument. Meanwhile, the song "TV Shows" features a splatty free jazz-sounding trumpet from the duo's 11-year-old cousin, and the closing track, "So Mean," features lyrics written by another cousin, this one the ripe old age of five. They even do a version of the old Sesame Street song "Dressed for Tea," and the remarkable thing is that it sounds like an original. ...
