Although the Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter is well known as a protegee of reclusive poet and singer Leonard Cohen, and her solo debut consists of songs created from lyrics Anjani gathered from decades of Cohen's writings, BLUE ALERT is not a Leonard Cohen album. Anjani's vocals and keyboards are at the center of this album, providing a Brazil-goes-electroclash vibe akin to Bebel Gilberto or New York bossa nova electronica outfit the Mosquitos. Songs like "Blue Alert" and the Brazilian-influenced "Half the Perfect World" are well-constructed, shapely songs that don't sound at all like Cohen's dour basso profundo glower.

Photographer: Lian Lunson.

Arrangers: Leonard Cohen; John Lissauer.

Personnel: Anjani (vocals, piano); Greg Liesz (lap steel guitar); Bruce Dukov, Brian Leonard (violin); Pamela Goldsmith (viola); Larry Corbett (cello); Danny Frankel (drums); John Lissauer (clarinet, baritone saxophone, keyboards).

Audio Mixer: Ed Sanders.

Rolling Stone (p.94) - "The sparse piano arrangements allow Cohen's words to stay in the spotlight."
JazzTimes (p.88) - "She is a very soothing, versatile singer, doubling on keyboards and guitar."
Dirty Linen (p.43) - "The overarching vibe of this disc is late-night cabaret piano jazz, with Anjani's smoky voice at the foreground and Cohen's inimitable touch very much present in the starkly sensual lyrics."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] quiet beauty, filled with songs generally delivered in a hushed, confiding manner..."

Hotel Rwanda DVD  (2004)

Blue Alert album
For Sale Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, January 05, 2010
DVD $9.44  SALE 5 stars
Don Cheadle gives a riveting performance as Paul Rusesabagina, the manager of a European-owned hotel in Rwanda, who created a secret refugee camp for the Tutsi people during the brutal genocide committed against them by the Hutu people in 1994. His efforts helped to save 1200 lives out of close to a million who were killed. HOTEL RWANDA shows this man's courage, while also capturing the political events that occurred between April and September '94. First, United Nations soldiers are restricted from fighting back against Hutu guerillas, even after the Rwandan president is assassinated and the country is thrown into chaos. But as the fighting worsens, all non-Rwandans including UN peacekeepers, Europeans, and Americans are evacuated. This leaves the Tutsi people defenseless against aggressive Hutus who are armed with machine guns and machetes. While working the system with strategic phone calls to powerful international contacts of the hotel, Rusesabagina also uses smart lies and power plays to hold off the Hutus. The morale among the refugees is low, but because they are protected from the inconceivable brutality happening outside the hotel's gates, they maintain a sense of hope. Powerful acting from all cast members, including throngs of children, makes this film touching and believable. Sophie Okonedo offers moving support as Rusesabagina's wife Tatiana, Nick Nolte shows knowing ...

Corinne Bailey Rae CD  (2006)

Blue Alert CD music
CD $10.39  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Yet Rae, who wrote or co-wrote each of the album's 11 tracks and provides much of the album's instrumentation as well, brings a distinctive stamp to the neo-soul formula. Her songwriting is strikingly personal and well-crafted, and her singing, which can be as cool as a Lester Young saxophone solo (the lilting "Like a Star") or as soulful and swinging as Sly Stone (the breakthrough single "Put Your Records On"), sets her apart from the pack. CORINNE BAILEY RAE is a solid and very promising debut. Despite the fact that English vocalist Corinne Bailey Rae has the name of a country artist, and got her start playing in a grunge-inspired hard rock band, her self-titled debut is heavily steeped in 1970s-style soul and singer-songwriter intimacy. Rae's girlish, sultry voice might remind some ...

Johnny Cash American V: A Hundred Highways CD  (2006)

Blue Alert music CDs
CD $11.99  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Johnny Cash's final album, AMERICAN V: A HUNDRED HIGHWAYS, is a moving and fitting swan song for the legendary performer. Like Cash's other recordings with producer Rick Rubin, AMERICAN V is quiet, intense, and minimal; it creates a thrilling intimacy by keeping the focus on Cash's aging voice and increasingly soulful, nuanced phrasing. The album was produced piecemeal, with Cash's vocal tracks recorded mere months before the artist's death in 2003, and the backing tracks added two years later. Yet the album coheres remarkably well, thanks in large part to the fine musicians on hand (including ace session guitarist Smokey Hormel). But this is Cash's show through and through. ...

If there's any justice to be had, the 2006 reissue of John Phillips's solo debut, which adds eight previously unreleased tracks, will alert the world to the presence of this overlooked folk-rock gem. Originally released in 1969 in the wake of the demise of the Mamas and the Papas, JOHN, THE WOLFKING OF L.A. contains songs that rank alongside the finest Phillips penned for that group. A dream team of session musicians, including Sun Studios' guitarist James Burton and members of Phil Spector's ...

Cat Power Greatest CD  (2006)

Blue Alert album
CD $10.39  5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Chan Marshall's gorgeous, evocative albums as Cat Power have gained even more critical and popular attention than her idiosyncratic on-stage behavior (and that's saying quite a bit). MOON PIX (1998) and YOU ARE FREE (2004), the two albums of all-original material preceding 2006's THE GREATEST, were spellbinding affairs that pitted Marshall's haunting voice against a stirring mélange of spare, low-key indie rock and atmospheric balladry. THE GREATEST, however, one of Marshall's most focused and impressive efforts, surpasses those two superb albums. The album is characterized by elaborate horn and string arrangements and a warm, polished feel, much of which stems from the old-school Memphis soul musicians Marshall has backing her (guitarist Teenie Hodges and bassist Leroy Hodges, both of Al Green fame, appear, as does MGs replacement drummer Steve Potts, among others). The sweet, earthy sheen may lack some of the raggedness that pleased Marshall's indie fans, yet the artist has lost none of her incisive songwriting ability, whether on moving narratives (the title ...

Liege & Lief
Fairport Convention Liege & Lief CD  (1969)

Blue Alert music CDs
CD $6.55  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
The advertisements for Fairport Convention's epoch-making fourth album ran: "the first (literally) British folk rock LP ever." While that's not (literally) true, LIEGE & LIEF created the template for all subsequent recordings in that style. It also represented a catharsis for the band, which reconvened after a traumatic road accident that killed drummer Martin Lamble. Once again focused and with redoubtable folk fiddler Dave Swarbrick now permanently involved, Fairport threw themselves into the electrification of ballads, myths, and rollicking jigs. The results were both innovative and stimulating. The union was blessed. If you sat down and tried to imagine a dream folk-rock band, it still would not match the potential ...
I'm In Love With You/Feel The Need
Detroit Emeralds I'm In Love With You/Feel The Need CD  (2004) Import

Blue Alert songs
CD $17.99  5 stars
The year 1973 turned out to be prolific for the Detroit Emeralds, who released not one but two of what many would consider to be their finest albums since their days on the Ric-Tic imprint during the heydays of Motown. The first half of this two-fer collection, I'm in Love with You, isn't the strongest of the two albums, although it does provide for some lively moments, including "So Long," "You're Getting Too Smart" (a nominee for a lost soul classic if there ever were one), and "Whatcha Gonna Wear Tomorrow." The extended version of the Emeralds' classic "Feel the Need in Me" is alone worth the price of admission for soul enthusiasts. Kudos to Westbound ...
