Cape Breton's Rita MacNeil revisits the styles and sounds that first brought her acclaim, but at times there is a certain sadness and melancholy in her voice as she looks back on her memories, especially on the piano and violin touches of "Floating." The album, written on her own, is quite reflective and pensive throughout. "Knowing When to Go" is more of an uptempo piano-based adult contemporary affair, although it builds quite deliberately. MacNeil never lets loose vocally the way she once did, but she is still able to nail each note to perfection. The way it concludes also brings to mind Bob Seger's narratives, such as "Against the Wind." Listeners might find the arrangements repetitive early on during "Some Things Never Change," yet the singer is able to pull it off with a graceful, effortless approach. The slightly bluesy barroom and gospel-leaning "Memphis" doesn't quite measure up, but here she lets loose, atoning somewhat for the quirky format. Nothing can save the summery-sounding and breezy "Blue Roses," however. The highlight comes during the touching "You Can't Go Home Again," which strikes the right balance between her vocal range and the supporting harmonies. The infectious and roots-like "Never Under 85" is the sleeper on the album, a catchy folk ditty. But she returns again to the prevailing tone of the record on the lovely "Please Believe Me." "Time and Again" concludes the album as MacNeil talks about time "bringing the good around again." This is an album that does nothing but add to her fine Celtic-tinged body of work. ~ Jason MacNeil

2004 album from the Canadian singer/songwriter. 11 tracks.

Black & White Hillbilly Music: Early Harmonica Recordings From The 1920S & 1930'S CD  (1996)

Blue Roses
CD $29.09
Some vintage recordings from the 1920s and '30s are included on this collection of hillbilly music, which features performances from a number of musicians over the 18 tracks included. This is all pure country music, before there really was such a thing. This is the folk music of England, Ireland, and Scotland wrapped up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and in the Appalachian plains, and was transformed into something so perversely American it was a freak show to the rest of the country when it finally was released on recordings. These recordings by the Crook Brothers, DeFord Bailey (the first black instrumentalist on the Grand Old Opry stage), the Jackson County Barn Owls, the Riverside Ramblers, Karl & Harty, the Pickard Family, Dr. Humphrey Bate & the Possum Hunters, Lonnie Glosson, and others were the sounds of people telling stories to one another in the confines of their communities, playing the old songs as if they had a secret code not decipherable outside the holler. Music was played by clans for other clans; many of them identifying their "turf" and placing the name "Ramblers" after it (there are four such acts on this disc). This is primarily string band music, unique because of the prominence of the harmonica in the ensembles themselves. Fiddle solos were replaced or at least augmented by harmonica. As an album, it doesn't have the power or the focus that other Trikont compilations have. It feels shoddily snapped together to meet a production deadline, with this theme as its only unifier. That said, it's of more than casual interest because of the material, which is very fine, and most of it is so obscure that it is seldom (if ever) referenced. Of particular note is the early swing flavor of the Nelstone's Hawaiians, formed during the brief national craze for Hawaiian guitar music. It seems there was contact beyond the mountain ridge after all. Glosson's "Lonnie's Fox Chase" is part Irish reel, part blues shuffle, part stomping bluegrass thunder. Using his voice to add percussion in and out of rhythm, Glosson had a few tricks up his sleeve as a harmonica player, but he used them very effectively, bending pitches that give the appearance that he's changing keys on the same harmonica, and then singing through the harmonica body as he blew into it, creating true microtones. This psycho track is worth the price of the entire compilation. There's supposedly a guitar on this cut as well but you can't hear it and it doesn't matter. The other solid jam is DeFord Bailey's "John Henry." This ...
