String Of Pearls buy CD music Originally released on Reprise (2076). Includes liner notes by Bunny Matthews and Barry Hansen. When the Meters moved from their bankrupted indie label Josie to Warner Brothers for 1972's CABBAGE ALLEY, they shifted from funky instrumentals to soulful vocalizing. Leading the way to this new direction was guitarist Leo Nocentelli, who wrote or co-wrote most of these songs. True to Nocentelli's New Orleans origins, a spirit of jocular abandon winds its way throughout this album. Among the most notable examples are the chugging and infectious "Soul Island," inspired by a tour of the Caribbean, and the mid-tempo grit of a dance theme called "Do the Dirt." Elsewhere, Nocentelli's compositions include the psychedelic soul of "Stay Away," and "The Flower Song," a romantic instrumental tailor-made for a candlelit dinner. Altering this carefree atmosphere are a pair of consciousness-raising tracks: "You've Got to Change (You've Got to Reform)," and the Band-like poignancy of "Lonesome and Unwanted People," featuring keyboardist Art Neville's soulful vocals. Neville's contributions also include his cover of Neil Young's "Birds," and a rewrite of Professor Longhair's "Hey Now Baby" that doubles as the rollicking title track. "Chug Chug Chug-A-Lug (Push and Shove) Parts I & II" has also been added as a bonus track for this reissue. Re-Issue Plus 2 Bonus Tracks Producers: Allen Toussaint, Marshall Sehorn.

String Of Pearls buy CD music Boston-based power trio Riding Shotgun returns with their first full-length album in three years. "Boombox on the Dash" blends elements of alt rock, pop, and folk with the band's signature atmospheric soundscapes. "Boombox" is the first vocal album from Riding Shotgun, with bassist Tom Stepsis providing lead vocals and guitarist Joseph DePasquale and drummer Chris Antonowich providing backing vocals and harmonies. NOTES FROM TOM Demon DogThis song began as a challenge to myself to write about a seemingly random topic...like one particular scene in a movie. This scene immediately came to mind and needed to be documented in song form. ColorsI still remember the uneasy feeling of waking up extra early at someone else's place in order to take the train into work. Standing on the platform, being rained on, and questioning what I was thinking and how this totally isn't worth it. When The Octagon Burned DownWhen I was a kid there was a wonderful farm I would go to with my parents, the centerpiece of the farm was an eight-sided barn. A few years after I moved away, it burned. Can't TellThere is a really strange feeling walking into a diner late at night and knowing something no one else knows. It's even stranger when you are forced to interact with these people. AstonMy home town. Cheeseburger China CatA song written by our friends, The Don Loans Project. I believe this song is inspired by Bernie Madoff, but also gives a nod to a few other questionable characters. Far EnoughMy first car had a busted stereo, and a busted driver's side door. The inside sometimes smelled of cigarettes and chocolate raspberry coffee. Most of the time it didn't matter where it would take us. Stop The WarThis is a song I wrote with my dear friend Chris Smith in 2002. Chris was visiting me when I lived in Somerville and we wanted to write a protest song. Maybe this is it.
