| | Feel Like Jumping: The Best Of Studio One Women. CD
FEEL LIKE JUMPING is a fine collection of tracks by female vocalists recording for Jamaica's legendary Studio One label in the late '60s and early to mid-'70s. The most well known name here is Marcia Griffiths, whose madly catchy title song is a gem of R&B-drenched rock steady. Other highlights include Dawn Penn's eerie, bluesy "No No No," which sounds like a Nina Simone recording of a lounge tune broadcast from Mars, Cecile Campbell's sweetly forlorn "Leave Me in Misery," and the dub-wise proto-dancehall of the Jay Tees' "Buck Town Corner."
One thing almost all the vocalists here have in common is their affinity for American soul icons such as Aretha Franklin, The Marvelettes, and Betty Everett. The production styles vary from track to track--smoother, more lush '60s pop/R&B-style sounds alternate with rawer, less polished, roots-ier efforts. For those seeking classic melodic reggae, this collection is a treasure chest waiting to be opened and a party waiting to happen.

Una Sangre (One Blood), Lila Downs' fourth album for the Narada label, is her most restless. Downs is best known to American audiences for her appearance in the film Frida (about the legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo) and her major contribution to the film's soundtrack. She has long been in the trenches knitting the indigenous music of her native lands -- Mexico and the United States -- into a sonic fabric where traditional Mexican folk songs, richly textured pop, and American blues and jazz music mix with Spanish and English lyrics that also contain Mexico's Mayan, Zapotec, Nahuatl, and Mixtec Indian dialects. Downs' previous recordings have always been deeply satisfying; they combine a musicologist's world with the fiery heart of an activist poet. Una Sangre is the next step. Here, over the course of 13 songs, she takes a wondrously heady mix and deepens it with other musical ...

Frank and Steve first met during their college days in the 1970s.“I had been banging Rock and Roll on electric guitar for 5 years,” explains Steve, duo spokesperson. “Frank came from Folk Music. It was two different worlds.”Then artists like Crosby, Stills, & Nash emerged, and suddenly main stream rock had a niche for soft acoustic guitars. “It became cool.” Steve says.A convert to acoustic rock, Steve accepted Frank’s invitation to form a cover band that toured the coffeehouse circuit. But after each rehearsal- when other band mates went home- Frank and Steve hung out to compose songs. “We were both natural writers,” Steve explains, “Everyone else in the band wanted to sound like the radio.” It became apparent that the pair enjoyed writing more than working in a band. “It was all about the fun factor,” Steve says. After a few introverted years together, Frank and Steve joined forces with another duo to form an “all original song” band. “That didn’t go over too well with the bar owners,“ Steve admits, “But they loved us at the Bitter End.” ...
