| | Louvin Brothers 20 Greatest Gospel Hits CD Louvin Brothers Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
Gospel and Christian-themed music was always integral to the Louvin Brothers repertoire; any given album or collection is likely to include one or two tunes infused with the power of the Holy Spirit. At its title indicates, 20 GREATEST GOSPEL HITS focuses on the bluegrass duo's best-known church-inspired music.
The way Charles and Ira's angelic harmonizing soars and lilts yet burns with sincerity gives itself nicely to the interpretation of sacred music. The simple guitar and mandolin arrangements are pure rootsy mountain folk, while "The Kneeling Drunkard's Plea," "The Family That Prays Together," and "Wreck on the Highway" crackle with the moral conviction of backwoods fire-and-brimstone church houses. But sermonizing never sounded so high, clear, and sweet, which is reason enough to give 20 GREATEST GOSPEL HITS a listen.

The ever-evolving lineup of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble keeps one thing consistent -- producing great records. This version is one of the best, featuring Kahil El'Zabar on drums, percussion, and mbira; Joseph Bowie on trombone and percussion; Ernest "Khabeer" Dawkins on alto and tenor sax, as well as percussion; and special guest Fareed Haque on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and percussion. The four men create a fine balance, with the percussive elements of El'Zabar and the other players providing a strongly Africanized structure upon which to hang the music, while the horns and Fareed Haque's guitar playing pull the sound back in the direction ...

| | Suzy Bogguss Swing CD (2003)
20 Greatest Gospel Hits songs
$8.49
On her third self-released album, Suzy Bogguss, one of the finest female vocalists living and working in Nashville, allows one of her many passions to come to the surface on Swing. With Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson in the producer's chair, Bogguss kicks out 12 classy pop, jazz, and swing tunes with a smoking band making a timeless sound. Benson knows the feel of this music inside and out (and brought his violin player, the Stephane Grappelli-inspired Jason Roberts, along for the ride), and Bogguss, whose mom is a big Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald fan, can sing virtually anything -- but has a special affinity for the swing book -- with a twist. There are nuggets of the repertoire here, such as Nat King Cole's "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me" as well as "Comes Love" -- closely associated with Billie Holiday -- and the great Ken Burgan tune "Sweetheart." But there's plenty of new material, too; there are five cuts by Nashville songwriter and jazz singer April Barrows, who writes in the Nat King Cole idiom with smart, modern lyrics; inventive melodies; and a wondrous sense of rhythm. Bogguss and husband and songwriter Doug Crider contributed one and Paul Kramer offered a pair. The jump in these tunes is fresh and new; there are no tired Diana Krall readings of the same old tunes here that had been better-recorded long before. The feel is jumping and smooth, such as on "Burning the Toast" by Barrows, in cut time with Roberts and pianist Floyd Domino floating with clarinetist John H.R. Mills against a popping double-bassline by Spencer Starnes and Benson's guitar. Recorded in Austin, TX, Swing feels loose, fancy free, and focused on exploration, bringing the essence of a song out into the idiom in which it was written. "It's New to Me" by Bogguss, Crider, and Kramer has a bluesy truth to it that is underscored by sax and clarinet wafting so warm from the fringes as Domino's right hand fills and comps slip in between lyric and horn arrangement to make the track just shine. The duet with Benson, "Cupid Shot Us Both With One Arrow," features Roberts doing the gypsy swing thing with passion and fervor, yet never takes away the sprightly tempoed tune form the singers. In all, Swing is the strongest Suzy Bogguss record ever -- yes, ever. This is not a novelty record, not some trendy acclimation to the times, but a way of revealing, as she has, the depth and dimension of ...
