| | Chris Young Man I Want To Be CD (2009)
American Images
$9.09 
Since Chris Young appeared on the "Nashville Star" television program in 2006, he's been on a roll. After signing with RCA he had a hit with "Drinkin' Me Lonely," his first single from his self-titled debut recording. Likewise, the two singles that have preceded the release of THE MAN I WANT TO BE in 2009 haven't done too badly either, getting plenty of play on radio. While Chris Young's sound is firmly in the contemporary country camp, it's also a lot more hardcore honkytonk than it is the refried '70s rock clichés that plague the genre. Part of that is due to his big booming baritone voice that rings as clear as a bell in this mix. (Think George Strait-meets-Josh Turner.) The other part of his appeal is the use of a relatively small group of musicians, giving the disc a more organic sound than a lot of what's out there. Young also has a lot of respect for tradition: "Rose in Paradise" is drenched in fiddles, mandolins, and acoustic guitars. It's a country-styled blues and features no less than Willie Nelson as a duet partner. The final track on the set is a moving cover of Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night in Georgia." Its beauty lies in its arrangement; his reading of this classic ballad is utterly tender and believable, accentuanted by a sparse, stripped-down production. And rather than stick with his trademark baritone, he stretches his vocal range--including a mean falsetto--to the brink and still pulls it all off.

| | Stanley Black All-Time Top Tangos/Spain CD (2004) (Import)
American Images
$18.89
Stanley Black's orchestral fantasies touch upon Argentina and Andalusia in this double reissue of dramatically produced concept albums from the golden age of thematically presented mood music. What makes both All-Time Top Tangos and Spain much more substantial and interesting than his Red Velvet and Music for Romance albums is the inclusion of authentic instrumentation and traditional vocalizing. The tango stratum is dominated by accordion and brass; the Spanish studies bring in flamenco guitar & vocals along with bursts of conversation in the mother tongue. All of these elements keep the string orchestra at bay. As if to gild the picturesque landscape, Black finishes off with a full-blown suite of themes from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen. ~ arwulf arwulf

$13.39
Guitarist Bruce Forman's second CD for the small San Francisco-based Kamei label features him with bassist John Clayton, drummer Vince Lateano, and sometimes percussionist John Santos, plus guests. Pianist Mark Levine is on eight of the 11 tracks, tenor great Joe Henderson helps out on four, and steel drummer Andy Narell drops by for two. Although there are three Forman originals and one by Clayton ("Angels Just Are"), the emphasis is on bop-era tunes, including Bud Powell's "Un Poco Loco," "A Night in Tunisia," and a swinging "I Concentrate on You." The beautiful "Autumn Nocturne" is a high point. ~ Scott Yanow
Recorded at Brilliant Studios, San Francisco, California.
Personnel: Bruce Forman (guitar); Joe Henderson (saxophone); Mark Levine (piano); John Clayton, Jr. (bass); Vince Lateano (drums); Andy Narell (steel drums); John Santos (percussion).
