Recorded live at the Ontario Place Coffee House and The Blues House, Washington, D.C. in November and December 1964. Includes liner notes by Larry Hoffman, Richard Spottswood and Gene Rosenthal.
Mississippi John Hurt fans have long had to accept the fact that few recordings of the legendary folk-blues master existed. Hurt first recorded in the late '20s, then disappeared from public view until the folk revival of the '60s. Thus, a few 78s and a handful of albums from the '60s constituted his entire legacy. In 1993, however, MEMORIAL ANTHOLOGY appeared-the first "new" Hurt album in nearly 20 years. The two-disc set presents a board recording of a concert Hurt performed in Washington, DC in late 1964, as well as a delightful and informative half-hour interview with Hurt (conducted by Pete Seeger).
Hurt was in fine form the night that MEMORIAL ANTHOLOGY was recorded, playing, singing, and telling stories with his typical amiability, charm, and virtuosity. Among the 28 songs Hurt performs here are nearly all of his signature tunes; only the raw sound quality and occasional out-of-tune guitar string prevent this from being a definitive Hurt collection. Those unfamiliar with Hurt should begin instead with his Vanguard studio recordings. But do pick up MEMORIAL ANTHOLOGY to round out your collection.
2 disk set incl. the finest performances of this l bluesman & a never before heard interview w. Pete Seeger, over 2 hrs. long, 16 pg. booklet
This is part of The Adelphi/Genes Blues Vault Series.

Hollywood studios are notorious for liberally borrowing ideas from each other, with the resulting clutch of similarly-themed films often bewildering the public as they try to decide which movie to go and see. In 2005 Bennett Miller directed CAPOTE, an Oscar-winning dramatization of Truman Capote's traumatic experiences ...

Memorial Anthology music CDs
$13.39
The strangely named Stovepipe No. 1 accompanies himself on guitar, harmonica, and stovepipe; the latter homemade instrument functions like a jug, providing a higher pitched and, under Stovepipe's direction, more versatile sound than its cousin. The solo recordings of Stovepipe No. 1 are primarily of interest for the unique repertoire they represent, consisting of typically "white" dance tunes, such as "Turkey in the Straw," "Fisher's Hornpipe," and a melody of "Cripple Creek and Sourwood Mountain." Also included are two religious pieces; of these, "Lord, Don't You Know I Have No Friend like You" is a relation of the Carter Family's "This World ...

In the trio of Ace CDs that document Fulson's stint with Kent in the 1960s, Black Nights covers the first part of that era (although, confusingly, it was not the first of the reissues to be released). The 1965 release "Black Nights" itself was his big success of the period, stopping just outside the R&B Top Ten and even getting into the bottom ...

Using the psychedelicized prog-punk of Fuzzy Logic as a foundation, Super Furry Animals move even further into left field on their second album, Radiator. As before, the group displays a gift for catchy, deceptively complex melodic hooks, but now its songwriting and arrangements are mind-bogglingly intricate and eclectic. Songs boast intertwining melodies and countermelodies, with guitars and keyboards swirling around the vocals. Similarly, the production is dense and heavy with detail, borrowing heavily from prog rock and psychedelic pop, but pieced together with the invention of techno and played with the energy of punk. It's a heady, impressive kaleidoscope of sounds, but what gives Radiator its weight is the way the sonics complement the songwriting. SFA's songs are melodic, accessible, and utterly original -- melodically, they may borrow from '60s pop, but they rearrange the clichés in fresh ways. Also, Gruff Rhys has a fondness for revolutionary politics and the bizarre that helps give Radiator its intoxicating, otherworldly atmosphere, making it one of the few late-'90s albums that sounds inventive, vibrant, and utterly contemporary. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
