Maybe Chris Root really did get his love of Brazilian music in the womb, as the publicity for this record claims. Wherever it came from, it's real, although his playing is more a sketchy American approximation of the subtle rhythms of samba and bossa nova than the real complex thing. Not that it matters. His songs here, on Mosquitos, have an aura of joy -- often childlike -- that's echoed by the voice of Juju Stulbach (very breathy and seductive) and the keyboard work of Jon Marshall Smith. Root's Brazil might be, to an extent, an imaginary creation, but he loves playing there, and songs like "Mosquito" and "Boombox" have a soft energy and a sunny vitality. To be fair, none of it would work properly with all three people. Alone, Root would sound a little too naïve, too much like a kid scrawling in a book. His excesses are tempered by the others, and the result is some glorious pop music that's more Brazilian-inflected than really Brazilian proper. Root does get in a love song with "Juju & Blue," and "Pure Like Snow" is a gorgeous little piece. It might not be the American/Brazilian fusion of Arto Lindsay, but it works on its own terms, neatly crossing cultural and geographical boundaries. In their own quiet way, Mosquitos are quite revolutionary -- and great fun. ~ Chris Nickson

With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly ...

| | Mercury Blues Story: Southwest Blues Vol.2 CD (2005)
Mosquitos CD music
$16.79
The Italian Comet Record company continue to lovingly repackage American blues via their Universe imprint, releasing sumptuous sets stuffed with music, each with booklets that detail the recordings and musicians involved. Now the label has turned its attention to the Chicago blues label Mercury. Sensibly, the Italians carve up the U.S., dedicating two volumes to each region of the country, although in their case they seem to be as geographically challenged as most Americans. "Southwest blues" refers not to the greater American southwest, but the southwestern segment of the blues scene, running along the Gulf of Mexico coastal states between Arkansas and Texas. The two CDs are sequenced chronologically, with volume one spanning 1945-1951 and volume two picking up that latter year and continuing through 1955. Lee Graves, who closed the first CD, opens this one with a swinging boogie, an exuberant number that would warm George W. Bush's cockles, "I'm from Texas." The backing band, the Rhythm Kings, switch their style around for powerful singer L.C. "Lightnin' Jr." Williams, sweeping into R&B style, then promptly turn around and offer up a quartet of deep Delta-flavored blues as backing for singer/guitarist Smokey Hogg. And this seems to be their preferred mode of playing, for they provide similar-styled accompaniments for both Violet Hall and John Hogg. That is, however, until they pair up with Elmore "Elmo" Nixon, when they begin shifting back to R&B. The Kings' bassist, Donald ...
