| | Battlestar America Above Market Value CD Battlestar America Discography of CDs
Battlestar America is a mix of hip-hop, trip-hop, country and soul music. This mixture bings together the influences of Outkast and Gram Parsons, Portishead and Kitty Wells, Morcheeba and Otis Redding, Missy Elliott and George Jones. The result is a new breed of American music that brings old-time and old-school together at last."Rocking two turntables and a fiddle, Battlestar America will get you bobbing your head until your neck turns red." - Vibe Magazine"Adding hip-hop beats, raps and turntables to the plaintive wail of Hank Williams, This is a band as comfortable with Cypress Hill's 'How I Could Just Kill a Man' as with Dolly Parton's '9 to 5'" - New York Daily News"Hip Hop Country. Take a second to digest that. Believe it or not, they make a pretty interesting and complementary couple. With everything from Bluegrass to twangy, banjo and fiddle-driven country to R&B tinged tracks, the underground, alternative hip hop beats bring an urban, sassy, forthright feeling to these unusual explorations. Not wavering from the country vocals and country influence, Battlestar's danceable mating with hip hop make these Country-born tracks feel joyously jacked up on pop culture" - CDBaby.com"Whod've thunk that hip-hop borrowing its style from Hank Williams would come off so well? . . . the best damn CD you're likely to grab for a long while." - The Activist Magazine"One of the most talked about sets was the first one, by Battlestar . . . melded both rap and beautiful melodies, backed by a full band, bringing something totally new and exciting to the evening." - New Haven Advocate"Above Market Value is genuine . . . An album with a future of imitators. And while the country feels soulful and true, don't front on the hip-hop neither." - MagicPropagandaMill.com"Very creative and innovative hip-hop" - Shawn Rhodes, WBAI 99.5 FM Battlestar America Above Market Value Songs | 1. | Out There Laughing |

Blues BytesYou've gotta love the CDs issued by Washington, D.C.-based Right On Rhythm. This is a "mom and pop" outfit at its best, just a serious blues fan putting out the music he loves. Wayne Kahn has been traveling around the D.C. blues circuit with a mobile recorder for the past few years, and he's got a real knack for capturing great live performances. His second collection, The Blues You Would Just Hate to Love, Vol. II, is excellent. Sound quality is good throughout, and the music is top-notch. My favorites are the slow blues jam of "Wabash Blues" by keyboardist John Coccuzzi and horn players Joe Stanley and Chris Watling. Big Joe Maher and the Dynaflows contribute a strong version of "Okie Dokie Stomp," with hot guitar from Ivan Appelrouth. Joe Stanley shows up again with a hot sax solo on "Flip Flop & Fly." Doug Jay, backed by the Blue Jays, plays excellent blues harp on the instrumental "Slinky." These are just a few of the highlights on the CD. Hard to find, but worth the effort.Bill Mitchell BLUES BYTESDC Blues SocietyBlues Hate to Lose Vol. 2The long-awaited latest installment of Wayne Kahn's documentation of D.C.'s blues and jazz scene. The Blues You Hate to Lose, Volume 2, has just been issued on Right on Rhythm. Like the prior volume, this one collects a number of mostly live performances, although there are some unissued studio tracks. Given that many of these performers have documented recordings, this is not as a valuable release perhaps, but Wayne Kahn's booklet provides a detailed discussion of a slice of DC's music history. And then there is the music. Plenty of first rate stuff to be heard including the opening Be Bop Girl, by Robert Lighthouse, a rocking band performance with Kevin McKendree on keyboards. It is followed by a nice Cathy Ponton King vocal on Tore Up. John Cocuzzi is not an unknown name in jazz circles, and his Wabash Blues with Big Joe, Joe Stanley and Jeff Sarli is a nice jazz blues vocal with Chris Watling adding a strong baritone solo after Stanley's solo ends. Bruce Ewan displays his chops on the studio cut. Blues in the Dark, showing why he is such a highly regarded harp player, followed by Honey Joe Brown, a new name to me, with his ballad singing on the lament You Don't Know What Love Is. The Nighthawks, Linwood Taylor and Tom Principato are heard on representative cuts, while the version of Okie Dokie Stamp, by Big Joe and the Dynaflows allows guitarist Ivan Appleruth to shine. More top harp is heard on Doug Jay's Slinky, while Artie Sherman on keyboards and Steve Jacobs conjure up Jimmy McGriff and Albert Collins on Left Overs. Other selections feature the J Street Jumpers and Joe Stanley. In all, there is plenty of terrific music here, excellent annotations, ...

Slewfoot has always had great respect among musicians and songwriters wherever he hung his hat. Over the past five years our paths seemed to cross more often and Slew really dug what I was doing with the Music Maker Relief Foundation. One day I opened a package of cassettes that Slew sent me. These were live shows he recorded of Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Big Boy Henry and one curiously beat up, cheap cassette he recorded of his own tunes. I popped it in my cassette deck and to my surprise was completely awestruck by the power, emotion and stellar songwriting propelled by Slew's truly underground American voice. I was instantly convinced that Slew was one of our country's most important singer songwriters. Big Boy Henry had told me this years ago, I wondered why it took me so long to get it.I called up my friend and encouraged him to record his songs. Soon after Slew got into a studio down in New Orleans ...
