Special Encounter is mostly a ballad set, featuring pianist Enrico Pieranunzi in close interplay with the sensitive bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian. They perform three standards, five originals by the pianist, and three songs by Haden. Two of the most memorable numbers are by the bassist, with both "Waltz for Ruth" and "Hello My Lovely" deserving to become standards. The music overall is gentle, taken at a relaxed pace and lyrical but never sleepy. These musicians know how to play both quietly and with passion, a rare skill. Special Encounter is a subtle treat. ~ Scott YanowJazzTimes (p.102) - "He keeps his melodies free of extraneous notes and edges them with sly asides. He also varies his accompaniment on every tune, which makes this performance especially listenable." Enrico Pieranunzi Special Encounter Songs | 1. | My Old Flame |

Ryan Adams's third album of 2005, 29, is his only outing of the year not co-billed to his band, the Cardinals. The distinction is important--while Adams's Cardinals-backed outings allowed the North Carolina-born singer/songwriter to get in touch with his alt-country roots, 29 is a more minimalist offering that features gritty blues (the simmering title track), spare ballads (the lovely "Starlite Diner"), and emotive pop/rock (the delicate "Blue Sky Blues"). Although this disc is closest in spirit to Adams's LOVE IS HELL releases, it's a much more eclectic affair, leading the listener down many of the performer's subtler musical paths and back to one lonely intersection on the edge of town.
Heaven knows why Ryan Adams decided to release three albums in the calendar year of 2005. He's always been prolific to a fault, boasting about completed unreleased albums when his latest work was just seeing the light of day, but he never saturated the market with new material the way he did in 2005, when it seemed he was trying to break Robert Pollard's record for most music released within a year. Grinding out three albums in a year is a marathon, not just for Adams but for any of his listeners, and by the time he got to the third album, 29, in the waning weeks of December, he seemed like a winded long-distance runner struggling to cross the finish line: completing the task was more important than doing it well. There's little question that 29 is the weakest of the three records Adams released in 2005, lacking not just the country-rock sprawl of Cold Roses but the targeted neo-classicist country that made Jacksonville City Nights so appealing. Which isn't to say that 29 doesn't have its own feel, since it certainly does. After opening with the title track's straight-up rewrite of the Grateful Dead's "Truckin'," it slides into a series of quiet, languid late-night ...

\"...it is empowered and, somehow, it seems new despite its deep roots.\" -Jeff Miller, L.A. TimesMcDougall has been recording since the age of thirteen when he figured out how to overdub multiple instruments on his dad’s dual tape-deck in the garage. Since then he has recorded and played with a good many bands and at present is a member of a selection of groups including the gritty punk-blues duo/trio The Glassell Park 3, multi-instrumental stomp-and-holler duo The Stumptown Strugglers, and R. Tussing’s Galvanized Junk Band. With a family music history including his mother, grandmother and grandfather playing old-time hymns in prison camps and skid-row missions in the 1950’s and 60’s, McDougall has always had people at the forefront of his musical ambitions. In high school it was a way to burn off some creative and physical energy with friends after school, later on it became a way to forge a sense of community and now it has also become an effective way to share human experiences and tales with other common folks like himself. This is where he finds his solo endeavors – drawing inspiration from writers such as Shane MacGowan, Tom Waits, Steve Earle and Woody ...
