Panamanian bassist Debriano utilizes many influences, including his Afro-Latin heritage. There are hard samba and latin-jazz threads easily recognized, but the other worldly violin work of Israeli born Miri Ben-Ari sets this project apart from other salsa, world music or jazz recordings that incorporate rhythms and melodies from distant places. The uplifting opener "Mano Y Mano," in a trio setting with Brazilian pianist Helio Alves is followed by the ultimately tuneful Duke Pearson evergreen "Is That So?" with vocalist Valtinho Anastacio. The romantic violin of Ben-Ari folds with Debriano's arco bass on "Prelude To The Cyclical Night," while Chick Corea's melodicism is suggested during "Cosa Otra," kicked along by the astounding drummer Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez (he shows up on six tracks.) The highlight is a unique version of the Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn soul melter "Isfahan," the violinist tugging at our heartstrings through her instrument. Debriano also offers two bass solos, the band deals a hint of pure descarga on "Cubanola," and Anastacio croons Portugese beautifully in unison with Ben-Ari in on the title track. They also do a throwaway version of Prince's "Kiss."

| | Darryl Worley Hard Rain Don't Last CD (2000)
Essential songs
$9.15
At a few points on HARD RAIN DON'T LAST, New Country singer/songwriter Darryl Worley betrays the fact that his country roots extend beyond Garth Brooks. The lyrics of "Those Less Fortunate Than I" and "Feels Like Work" evince a proletarian sentiment that echoes Merle Haggard, and indeed "Too Many Pockets" flirts with vintage Bakersfield-style honky-tonk.
But judging from the pristine acoustic guitar arpeggios on the ballads "The Way Things Are Goin'" and "Second Wind," Worley has absorbed as much of the Eagles and James Taylor as anything else. Even so, he's no troubadour mope. "Who's Gonna Get Me Over You" and "Sideways," among others, are uptempo numbers brimming with energy and enthusiasm. In the end, Darryl Worley is simply a singer who's assimilated several different veins of American pop music and put them together into something he can call his own.
Personnel: Biff Watson, Larry Beaird (acoustic guitar); J.T. Corenflos, ...
| | Steven Curtis Chapman Speechless CD (1999)
Essential album
$15.05
Principally recorded at Sound Kitchen, Franklin, Tennessee and Abbey Road Studio, London, England.
SPEECHLESS won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
With SPEECHLESS, his 12th studio album, Steven Curtis Chapman turns an ear to gurgling synths and trenchant guitar work to enliven a baker's dozen of spiritual testimonials. For five minutes of fist-pumping musical inspiration, one would be hard-pressed to beat the title track. An introduction of innocuous-seeming strings and acoustic guitar crescendo into a wave of emotion guaranteed to stoke the embers of life within even the most world-weary Christian soul (indeed, the excitement is so great here that one wonders if our cast of studio musicians didn't endure at least one fractured crash symbol or snapped violin ...
| | Sheila Walsh You Raise Me Up: Songs Of Worship And Faith CD (2005)
Essential CD music
$12.69
Contemporary Celtic and gospel music come together on this album from prolific author, singer, speaker, and worship leader Sheila Walsh. Each lilting and deeply melodic cut is awash in an impeccably played sea of pedal steel guitars, keyboards, Uillean pipes, and string and choral arrangements that complement Walsh's rich alto, although one wishes that the 11 tracks that comprise You Raise Me Up would have included at least one of the thousands of faith-based ballads and airs that have populated Celtic tradition for centuries rather than consisting primarily of by-the-book modern praise & worship songs in an Irish wrapper. ~ James Christopher Monger
