| | Kim & Reggie Harris Let My People Go! CD Kim & Reggie Harris Discography of CDs
There are plenty of connections between the Jewish and African-American people. Both have been oppressed and enslaved during history, and many Jews were involved in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. This album is as much a celebration of that time as it is a political statement of solidarity in song, cantorial chant, and spoken word reminiscences. At times quite extraordinarily lovely, as on "Venomar Lefanav (Let Us Sing a New Song)," with its klezmer overtones, or "I Have a Million Nightingales," it can also turn deeply spiritual, as on "In the Mississippi River." It's definitely not a background disc, but one that comes back time after time, showing different facets with each track, all coming together to paint a picture. In its own small way it's glorious, if low-key, the type of record that brings a glow of satisfaction (as is the case with everything Kim & Reggie Harris do). ~ Chris Nickson

Dirty Linen (p.58) - "This isn't about recapturing the past as much as an attempt to reinforce the values that emerged so feverishly during the civil rights movement a half century ago." Kim & Reggie Harris Let My People Go! Songs | 1. | B'chol Dor V'dor (In Every Generation) / I'm On My Way |

Purchase Let My People Go! CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Joan Baez In Concert Part 2 CD (1963) Reissue
Let My People Go! album
 $15.05  
Recorded live at between August 1962 and November 1963. Originally released on Vanguard (9113). Includes liner notes by Bob Dylan and Arthur Levy.
The 'queen of folk' was an accomplished live performer as this, the first of two In Concert albums proved. Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, Baez brought her pure, virginal soprano to contrasting material. Her interpretations of Childe ballads 'Matty Groves' and 'The House Carpenter' are particularly moving, but an empathy with American folklore, including Woody Guthrie and the Carter Family, is equally apparent. Baez's reading of Malvina Reynolds' protest song, 'What Have They Done To The Rain', is especially arresting and inspired a later pop hit for the Searchers. This album helped take folk music ...

For You My Dear is the Drive-Thru debut of New Jersey's Steel Train. The band takes a different tack than most in the label's stable -- while vocalist Scott Irby Ranniar and guitarist/vocalist Jack Antonoff seem just as lovelorn as their peers, the duo's sound is largely acoustic, and quite baroque at that. Their ...

Let My People Go! CD music
$11.75
Initial pressings of "A SUNSET PANORAMA" did not contain a bonus DVD.
Although the Hydra Head label is usually associated with noise bands, there are a few exceptions, such as the 2005 release by Logh, A Sunset Panorama. When you think of "melodic alternative rock" circa the early 21st century, mediocre/same-sounding bands that rule the radio immediately come to mind, but this Swedish outfit shows that it certainly doesn't have to be that way. Picture Sonic Youth reborn as an emo band -- thanks to the sullen vocals and sparse guitar lines -- and you come close to what Logh sounds like. For the group's third release overall, Logh wanted to try a new approach, so they hunkered down for six months, rehearsing steadily. They then entered the recording studio with producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt (best known for his work with the Hives, Sahara Hotnights, etc.), where they recorded the complete album in a ten-hour span -- supposedly only breaking for lunch. The plan worked, as Logh have assembled their best album yet, on the strength of such standouts as "Destinymanifesto," which features some very Thurston Moore-like vocals from Mattias Friberg, and "Asymmetric Tricks," which includes some nice xylophone touches. For a while, it looked like the Hives were the best rock export to come out of Sweden in some time. But with A Sunset Panorama, Logh may soon be getting the nod. ~ Greg Prato
