It's a Funky Thing to Do was Hank Crawford's final recording for Atlantic after a commercially successful ten-year run. The soulful altoist is backed by a funky rhythm section (either Eric Gale or Cornell Dupree on guitar, keyboardist Richard Tee, Chuck Rainey or Ron Carter on electric bass, and drummer Bernard Purdie) that often sounds as if it is just going through the motions. Crawford plays well, as usual but, other than "Parker's Mood," none of the seven selections are particularly memorable nor do they stand out from the crowd. ~ Scott Yanow

$14.59
For close to two decades, the vibrant South African singer/songwriter Jonathan Butler has become so well known for his impassioned vocals that it's easy to take his formidable guitar talents for granted. Most of his recordings include a few light acoustic guitar instrumentals amid a gathering of more memorable vocals, but on the Jonathan collection -- his debut for Rendezvous, an indie label co-owned by saxman Dave Koz -- Butler reverses the ...

It's A Funky Thing To Do music CDs
$18.99
MMSeries#55/ Recorded 88-90/Morganton, NCSisters Cora and Etta Reid, born in 1907 and 1913, grew up in the Johns River township of Caldwell County, North Carolina, a place where the foothills of the Piedmont transform into the escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Their parents, Boone and Sallie, claimed European American, African American and Native American ancestry. The diverse heritage of the family has been acknowledged for generations by members of the Johns River community and even by federal Census takers, who have listed her fatherÂąs family as mulatto as far back as 1850. Partly because of their background, the Reid family socialized and made music with both white, African American, and mixed race families within Caldwell County. Boone Reid, who gave his daughters their first lessons, was well versed in both mountain string band music and early blues. Boone played banjo, fiddle, guitar, harmonica, and Jews harp and organized a family string band that featured Etta on fiddle, Cora on guitar, and himself on banjo. On many weekends the family walked to neighborsÂą houses in and around Johns River to make music. They were also paid to play dances for businessmen and their families who would retreat from the nearby town of Lenoir to cabins on WilsonÂąs Creek for a weekend of leisure and entertainment. Etta eventually gave up the fiddle and later in life took up the banjo, in part as a tribute to her father.By EttaÂąs accounts Boone Reid was also an extraordinary guitar player. He learned much of his style and repertory in Caldwell County though early blues like Spoonful, that he re-titled Carolina Breakdown, were heard when the family was living near Chase City in eastern Virginia. Other tunes that Etta learned on guitar from her father include Never Let Your Deal Go Down, Crow Jane, Dew Drop, Railroad Bill, Bully of The Town, John Henry, and Round My Back Door Selling Coal. Like all great artists, Etta has made these pieces her own by adding new twists and turns. She has also added to this repertory by learning more modern pieces and even composing songs like Broken Hearted Blues.The recordings on this CD were made during a period when Etta had left her job at a textile mill and was devoting her time and creativity to her music. We hear ...

Artist InformationBiography Contact: Joey Hood (615) 972-0665joey.hood@gmail.comBeth Raebeck Hall She with the smoky pipes, sounding as she's been stewed in a potluck of Etta James Rocks the House and East Bay Grease. A 2003 Grammy nominee for Best Contemporary Blues Album, Beth Raebeck Hall's Mississippi Delta canned heat has earned raves from industry legends, Rocco Prestia, George McCorkle, Barrett Strong, Jimmy Hall and XM radio’s Jessie Scott. Promoters welcome her with open arms and newcomers The Minor Kings, the Mulch Brothers and many others look to her as a mentor and co-writer. -Blues Revue Magazine says ”Raebeck could light a city with her energy, and she has a great set of pipes” Ron Wynn of the Nashville City Paper's described her sound as "a female version of Delbert McClinton meeting Etta James and Carole King at the crossroads." ”Ms. Hall is the lifeblood of postwar Southern blues. She embraces life with a contentment that comes only with surviving life’s many challenges, some even devastating. With the same groove fever she’s always had, she could give lessons in performance energy and delivery. An almost mythic figure in the Nashville music scene, Hall created the Tin Pan South ...
| | Mathias Grassow Tiefweite Stille CD (2007)
It's A Funky Thing To Do album
$17.69
Mathias Grassow was born in Wiesbaden Germany in 1963. From the start, music has always been a deep passion. He played drums and guitar in the 70's and moved on to keyboards in the early 80's. Mathias became increasingly fascinated with the flexibility and possibility inherent in keyboards and electronics and created experimental electronic music between traditional German and 'New Age' styles. Since the late 80's he has specialized in synthesizer drones and myriad forms of overtone music and explored their effect on the human psyche (similar to the old Indian Nada yoga) by using his voice, tambouras, zithers, flutes, guitars, singing bowls, and some home-built instruments. About twenty years ago, he met a friend who gave him some books by Alan Watts, the American philosopher, Harvard professor, Zen Buddhist, and psychologist. During this period Mathias resolved that his life and music would have one ...
