It's easy to wonder about the liner note proclamations that Tlahoun Gčssčssč is "the Voice of Ethiopia." If he's the man, why wait until Vol. 17 to dedicate a full disc of the exemplary Ethiopiques series to his '70s hits? It's not that Gčssčssč isn't a strong, expressive singer, but his voice is thinner than Mahmoud Ahmed's. That may boil down to a pop vs. roots soul/blues debate, since the arrangements here are very controlled and in the pocket. It sounds more like genuine Ethiopian pop music in the sense of well-crafted professionalism without many rough edges, so maybe Gčssčssč rates as "the Voice" by virtue of his ability to reach ...

The 21st volume in the grand Ethiopiques series (that reflects how deeply the country's popular music traditions are steeped in American and European colonial sources) is dedicated to the solo piano works of the outstanding composer and performer Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Gučbrou, a daughter of Ethiopian high society who chucked it all to become a nun in the nation's Orthodox Church. Tsegué-Maryam Gučbrou was educated in Europe. She played violin (under the tutelage of Polish émigré Alexander Kontorowicz). She took up her piano studies while in the convent and teaching at an orphanage. Her first recordings -- two LPs -- were issued in 1963, ...

Hall & Oates Do It For Love CD (2003)

Sure, there's been a lot of water under the bridge since such '80s Hall & Oates hits as "You Make My Dreams Come True," let alone '70s classics like "She's Gone" and "Rich Girl." That doesn't mean that Daryl & John can't still come out swinging in the 21st century. Songs like "Forever For You" and the title track of DO IT FOR LOVE are remarkable in a couple of ways. Not only do they maintain the same kind of blue-eyed-soul flavor that made the Philadelphia duo famous, but in fact they're closer to the sound of classic '70s soul than many of the artists contemporaneously being hailed as "neo-soul" traditionalists. Amazingly, the pair's silky-soulful vocal blend and pop songwriting acumen seem not to have lost a step since their glory days. DARYL HALL JOHN OATESDoing it is good. Doing it for a long time is impressive. Doing it for love is sublime.

With their sublime new album, Do It For Love - their first new set of studio material since 1997's Marigold Sky -- Daryl Hall and John Oates have made some of the best, most deeply felt music of their lives. Do It For Love is an album in the same winning rock 'n soul tradition as Hall & Oates' finest, most enduring work, like 1973's classic Abandoned Luncheonette, 1978's ambitious Along The Red Ledge, 1980's compelling Voices, 1982's beloved H20 and 1990's intimate Change of Seasons. This is heartfelt, vital music that beautifully reflects the shared musical passion that first brought Daryl Hall and John Oates together back in Philadelphia more than thirty years ago. And it's that same passion that keeps them going to this day."We're absolutely doing it for love," says Daryl Hall. "Yes, we're in business and like to make a living, but I don't think it's possible to do it as long as we've been doing it without loving it. You have to love it. And it shows onstage. Every night we get up there and we're smiling away, and the audience is smiling away. We mean it. What we do, it's all real.""I believe the feeling that underpins this recording has a lot to do with two ...
