This album documents Doc Watson's first solo public appearance; it finds him in front of an appreciative West Village crowd at the height of the early-'60s folk music craze, playing a borrowed acoustic guitar (at the time the only guitar he owned was the electric Les Paul with which he had been making a living as a member of a North Carolina rockabilly band) and performing a varied set of tunes that range from traditional ballads like "Little Sadie" and "The Roving Gambler" to traditional blues and Merle Travis-style guitar showcases. He's joined at various times by local folk luminaries John Herald, Ralph Rinzler, and Bob Yellin, but what is consistently striking is his mastery of the stage and the warmth and gentle virtuosity of his playing -- attributes that would later come to define his art, but which are remarkable in an artist performing solo for the first time. Highlights include an excellent arrangement of "Milk Cow Blues," an a cappella rendition of "The Lone Pilgrim," and an all-too-brief performance of the Travis classic, "Cannonball Rag." Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson

Travis Tritt Greatest Hits: From The Beginning CD  (1995)

At Gerdes Folk City
CD $15.15  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Most of the rock-influenced country stars of the '90s have modeled themselves on the light side of '70s rock--The Eagles, Dan Fogelberg, Bonnie Raitt. Travis Tritt has cut a singular niche for himself by looking instead to the harder side of country--Waylon, Hank, Jr. and other musical outlaws. Like most nouveau country stars who went to rock and roll high schools, Tritt also listened to his share of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger (he even memorializes Duane Allman on "Put Some Drive In Your Country"); but few of his contemporaries are as adept at incorporating that big rock sound into hard-nosed, blue-collar country. "Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)" may be the high point of '90s outlaw music, with a bold acoustic guitar rhythm that nods to Steve Earle, a baritone vocal that is all George Jones, and a lyric that spits out pride and defiance where lesser men might cave in to sentiment. Tritt is proudly steeped in country lore but isn't afraid to upend a country cliche or two. "The Whiskey Ain't Working" is a drinking song in reverse--maybe even a sneaky ode to sobriety. Since the drink ain't doing its job, Tritt (with a duetting Marty Stuart) goes looking for a honky-tonk angel. Usually, of course, it's the angel who drives you to drink. There are fine rock moments among Tritt's singles, too. "Anymore" features some tasty tremolo guitar work, and other songs add ...

In a world where songs are produced like in the fast food industry (Lots of fat, with no fatty lyrics, music, or arrangements) comes a compilation in Lebanon from outside the traditional menu.Munir Khauli, Tanin el Tarab, is considered the godfather of the Lebanese alternative music scene. A great guitarist and a great songwriter, his music influenced a lot of Lebanese artists and many tried to pickpocket his unique style. In his song “motirbin” Munir describes exactly the current Lebanese music scene. “The nation is now filled with stars, And in the sky there are only clouds”. All Munir’s songs in this compilation were recorded in the nineties, yet two of them were been written in 1986 and 1989.The Quiminboos is a Lebanese band that was extremely famous in the late eighties especially in ...
