Paul Gilbert gets out his acoustic guitar and performs live at Tokyo's Hard Rock Cafe on ACOUSTIC SAMURAI. Among the 16 tracks are "Potato Head" and "I Like Rock".
So we all know that Paul Gilbert is certainly fleet fingered on the electric guitar. But what about on the acoustic? Despite being long considered one of rock's top shredders (just check out his faster-than-a-speeding-bullet work with Racer X), interestingly, it was a schmaltzy acoustic ballad that served as Gilbert's career breakthrough -- Mr. Big's "To Be with You." And on his 2003 release, Acoustic Samurai, Gilbert picks up the acoustic once more. Recorded live at Tokyo's Hard Rock Café, the 16-track set finds Gilbert in a largely goofy mood, as evidenced by the album's opening -- the nonsensical singalong "Potato Head," a cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen," and "I Like Rock" (just by looking at the latter's title, you know its lyrics won't be confused with Shakespeare anytime soon). Quirky pop continues throughout -- as evidenced by such lighthearted ditties as "I Am Satan" and "I'm Not Afraid of the Police." While it was undoubtedly fun for Gilbert to get all this goofiness out of his system (and it sounds like the constantly clapping/singing audience is having the time of their lives), Acoustic Samurai is for hardcore fanatics only. ~ Greg Prato

Jamila Ford has been described in the Riverside, California press as "a Neo-Soul singer/songwriter that has nowhere to go but up!" What could cause such high praise from an industry that practically has "jaded" as a prerequisite?It could be her formal training in the University of California system, with a distinct emphasis on vocal performance. This meant, of course, many hours at the feet of Mozart and Gershwin, trolling for the melodies in the sonic landscapes of those geniuses. This led to national touring with two choirs, participating in a big-band during college, and later booking numerous gigs in major resorts with a jazz quartet of her own forming.That would only be half the story, however, for these ancient talents listed above were only what she learned in the classroom. It was earlier when, as a child, she was alone at home, in a stolen moment with the trove of her father’s records while he was on one of his extended Air Force jaunts to Saudi Arabia, that she discovered the blossoming of this particular musical carnation. Stevie made her Wonder at the flow of his rhythm, through the revelations his voice took his lyrics. Bonnie never charged a Raitt for the pain she wailed whole. On and on it went in utter silence, for these artifacts were so guarded, she’d have caught a spanking if she was found hiding beneath the covers or underneath the bed, with the earphones tightly clinging, listening. And it is with this silence that she greets every opportunity to give something new to each enunciation of all the phrases in the songbooks that become her gigs.And gigs there have been. First, she began to incorporate her original material that was cleaving more to her original inspirations, as opposed to the covers that she sang in service to her school efforts. She accomplished this by starting her own band, JFB, which had a heavy blues influence in service to its first EP, Traces of the Day. For the second EP, Fabulous, they upped the tempo for a ‘70s R&B vibe. With this arsenal of songs, and with this cadre of musicians, she made herself known in hundreds of shows around the Southwest United States. When it came time for her to pare down her sound to its current singer-songwriter state, she found a beautiful complement in the girly form of Carol McArthur, who writes her own songs very much in the vein of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. Together, they still form Black Cadence, and they have been a fixture in many a club and recording hub, both as this collective, as well ...
