| | Jud Newcomb Byzantine CD Jud Newcomb Discography of CDs
The second solo album by "Scrappy" Jud Newcomb, a fixture on the Austin blues-rock scene since the late '80s, isn't the piece of outright guitar-hero showboating that one might expect from its provenance. Instead, it's a singer/songwriter-oriented effort filled with quiet acoustic tunes and roots rock shuffles rather than soloing showcases; James McMurtry comes to mind much more often than Stevie Ray Vaughan, and on the opening track "Plain and Simple," Paul Westerberg's solo work is the most obvious touchstone, with the song's world-weary resignation and Newcomb's hoarse delivery. "Damaged Goods" leavens the mood with chirpy female backing vocals and bongos, and "Is That Any Way?" features a groovy organ part played by Newcomb's occasional employer Ian McLagan. Overall, the album is as low-key as one of Eric Clapton's solo projects, but it benefits greatly from the rough and ready production and Newcomb's amiable croak of a voice. Byzantine just isn't polished enough to be boring, and that's a good thing. ~ Stewart Mason
This is the follow-up to Newcomb's 2003 solo debut "Turbinado" (FEE #1025). An accomplished guitarist, songwriter and record producer, "Scrappy" Jud has been a fixture on the Austin music scene for more than a decade. He is a former founding member of Lo

Purchase Byzantine CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Dolly Parton Heartsongs, Live From Dollywood CD (1994)
Byzantine album
 $12.59  
Recorded live at the Celebrity Theater, Dollywood, Tennessee on April 23-24, 1994.
By the early '90s, Dolly Parton's credibility as an authentic country singer was severely waning, thanks to an overabundance of pop crossover singles, flash-in-the-pan comedies, and an incredibly tacky variety show. Parton must have been aware of her crumbling country legacy in 1994, when she rushed out the live album Heartsongs: Live From Home, a smorgasbord of her country hits, the stories behind them, some new songs, and a rather large amount of classic old-timey standards. For the first time in over ...

Byzantine songs
$15.05
Like fellow country legend Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton was remarkably prolific during the first years of the 21st century, and 2005's THOSE WERE THE DAYS features Parton sharing Nelson's penchant for guest-star-studded albums. The general theme is Parton's favorite songs of the 1960s and '70s, with additional artists ranging from Porter Wagoner, her former duet partner, to singer/songwriter Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens). Throughout the disc, Parton's crystal-clear voice shines as bright as ever, ...

Byzantine album
$12.95 
Texas singer/songwriter Mark David Manders is something of a legend in his home state, where his live shows have built him a solid core of fans. Cannonball comes on the heels of the somewhat more introspective Highs and Lows, and finds him returning to his honky tonk roots with a supporting cast that includes fiddler Heather Morris, backup singer Blondie Chaplin (known for her work with the Rolling Stones), and several members ...

Byzantine songs
$15.35
A portion of the album's proceeds will go toward the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation's "Campaign For A Landmine-Free World."
Unlike many hastily thrown together tribute albums, GRIEVOUS ANGEL has the distinction of having the heavy involvement of someone who was personally involved with the artist. In this case, that would be Gram Parsons' musical soulmate, Emmylou Harris. Her participation goes beyond mere executive producer duties as she duets with the Pretenders (a shimmering "She"), Beck (straightforward strum and twang on "Sin City") and Sheryl Crow (an ethereal "Juanita").
Although the Cosmic Cowboy's love of country music could be reverential (as evidenced by Elvis Costello's gentle reading of "Sleepless Nights" and the emotive Evan Dando/Juliana Hatfield take on "$1,000 Wedding"), the native Floridian also had a more fun-loving side to his persona. Former Byrd and Burrito-mate Chris Hillman proves this by teaming up with Steve Earle on the country shuffle "High Fashion Queen" as do Wilco who turn the rollicking number "One Hundred Years From Now" into a stomper overflowing with gnarly guitar and Wurlitzer runs.
Parson's death at such a young age lends a spiritual quality to this album. This feeling is mirrored in the gospel-soaked "In My Hour Of Darkness" by the Rolling Creekdippers, an ad hoc group consisting of Buddy & Julie Miller, Jim Lauderdale, Victoria Williams and Marc Olson.
Includes liner notes by Bud Scoppa.
