| | Black Eagle Straight Up Northern CD Black Eagle Discography of CDs
Black Eagle is one of the most popular Native American drum groups in North America. They hail from the Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico and their music is sung in the Towa language. However, on this release, the Black Eagle ensemble uses only vocables, meaning that they do not use words, but rather a series of syllables, including "nay, hey, yeh, yo," etc.
STRAIGHT UP NORTHERN also features new compositions. However, this music adheres strictly to the sacred traditions of powwow music. This means that the group gathers around a large buffalo-skin drum and no other instruments are used to accompany the singers. Like most powwow music, the participants often engage in a call and response between a soloist and a group of backing singers. Further, the monophony of this music allows for direct, powerful vocal expression. Each song on this release is a kind of musical celebration, and songs such as "Remembrance," "Victory Dance," and "Dance with Love" honor the ancient ways of the Jemez people. In contrast, pieces such as "Me and My Boyz" and "Rock with Me" are informal and fun.

Straight Up Northern album
 $11.19   
Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. ...

Focus here featured virtuoso guitarist Jan Akkerman for the last time, not to work with his long-term writing partner Thijs Van Leer for another ten years. Mother Focus also sees Focus' highly skilled bass player Bert Ruiter try his hand in songwriting. The outcome includes the one of the finest funk tracks on the album -- the hilarious "I Need a Bathroom." The album begins with quite possibly the finest track on the album -- and maybe the most typical Focus -- the titular "Mother Focus." The funky theme underlying the number sets the mood for the rest of the LP with aplomb. Indeed, Mother Focus is far from the ...
