| | John Lee Hooker Collection 1948-52 CD - Import John Lee Hooker Discography of CDs
Revered by an audience that expands well beyond blues aficionados, John Lee Hooker has 16 vintage recordings collected on this compilation album.
Capitol EMI in England has assembled a well-remastered selection of John Lee Hooker's Detroit material, issued on Modern, Vee-Jay, and other small labels. While this material has been released countless times over the decades, this selection is not only representative of the tough percussive attack in Hooker's early music, but also of the early trancelike groove in his performances. The Modern material is solo, while the Vee-Jay sides are with a band. All of them have Hooker's trademark stomp and raw, unmitigated growl and moan. Also, the original titles are restored to certain tracks here, such as "I Gotta Be Comin' Back," which has become known as "Boogie Chillen." The three-voice version of "I'm in the Mood" is downright spooky, and the original read of "I Rule My Den" (aka "Crawling King Snake") is greater than any other version he recorded. This is a budget-priced import that contains only essential material. For anyone starting a Hooker shelf, this is a sublime place to start. ~ Thom Jurek

The complete output of pianist/singer Cow Cow Davenport as a leader has been made available on two CDs by Europe's Document CD; his sideman dates are also available on two other CDs. Because Cow Cow (named after his famous "Cow Cow Blues") is often categorized as a member of the blues world, it is sometimes overlooked how strong a jazz/blues pianist he was. On this first volume, Davenport is heard collaborating with singer Dora Carr, playing duets with cornetist B.T. Wingfield, interacting with singer Sam Theard, ...

Frank Christian spent the '80s establishing himself as one of the premier songwriters in the Greenwich Village scene that included people like Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin, but he never achieved the same measure of commercial success as his aforementioned peers. Most likely, his blend of folk, jazz and blues was too idiosyncratic to be mass-marketed.
FROM MY HANDS was his first album of new material since a self-produced '80s recording subsequently reissued ...
| | Over The Rhine Films For Radio CD (2001)
Collection 1948-52 album
$11.89
When Over the Rhine released their sparsely produced, largely acoustic independent effort Good Dog Bad Dog in 1996, they had not yet given up on their plans to record a more elaborate version of the album. In the end, the group decided that the "home recordings" approach was appropriate for that collection of songs, but when they finally issued a major label follow-up five years later, it was almost as if they were making up for lost time. The appropriately titled Films for Radio has a broad, cinematic scope that makes it the band's most ambitious and lavishly produced record to date. Fans who were introduced to the band through Good Dog may have expected Films to be an intimate arthouse drama, but it proves instead to be something of a slick and unusually intelligent summer blockbuster. The album contains Over the Rhine's first experiments with synthesizers and drum loops, melding edgy special effects into a distinctive art pop brew that continues to be cemented by artfully elliptical lyrics and some of the most engaging melodies in adult alternative music. The synth pop opener "The World Can Wait," for example, sounds like a theme song for a James Bond movie. "The Body Is a Stairway of Skin" is something like Bjork-influenced trip-hop. There is even an energetic Duran Duran-like cover of a Dido tune ("Give Me Strength"). All of that style sometimes overwhelms the substance of the group's unusually substantive ...

Canto Em Qualquer Canto is a 2004 live recording from the Teatro Sesc Pinheiros in Sao Paulo. Ney Matogrosso is accompanied solely by a very talented guitar quartet formed by Marcelo Gonçalves, Pedro Jóia, Ricardo Silveira and Zé Paulo Becker. The result is a very tasteful, intimate and inspired album showing Matogrosso at the peak of his artistic creativity. It is also yet more proof that Matogrosso, after a career spanning four decades, is still very much evolving as an artist and seemingly gaining elegance and depth for each year that passes. The selection of songs performed here is rather surprising, ranging from reinterpretations of more or less forgotten gems of his own ...
