| | Mac Traynham I'm Going That Way CD Mac Traynham Discography of CDs
When it comes to old-timey instrumental work, Mac Traynham is the real deal, which makes I'm Going That Way a real treat. Lacking the smoother edges of its commercial counterpoint, unadulterated folk music has always been a rare commodity. Traynham's version of "Take Me in Your Lifeboat," for instance, lacks the polish of even Flatt & Scruggs' bluegrass version, but what the listener has instead is an understated, heartfelt take that digs deep into the song's spiritual message. The real highlight on I'm Going That Way, though, is the instrumental work of Traynham and his companions. The arrangements of pieces like "New Jordan" and "Lost Gal (In the Flatwoods)" rarely grows larger than banjo, fiddle, and guitar, and even then, these set-ups flow organically. Traynham, whether playing fiddle, banjo, or singing, succeeds by his honest, unadorned approach, rendering even familiar pieces like "Old Cotton-Eyed Joe" fresh. There are also several solo pieces, including "The French Waltz" (with banjo) and "Pretty Little Indian" (with fiddle) that provide an intimate look at Traynham's style. I'm Going That Way is nearly 70-minutes long, meaning that the old-timey fan will get more than his or her money's worth with this purchase. For fans of real old-timey music, I'm Going That Way will go a long way towards explaining why some things shouldn't change. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

For a period in the early 1990s, Garth Brooks was not only the biggest star in country music, he was one of the biggest stars in music, period. An unassuming Oklahoman who fused the blue-collar ethic of new traditionalist country with an unapologetic pop side that drew on his love of 1970s rockers like Kiss and Billy Joel, Garth Brooks fundamentally changed the sound of mainstream country music in much the same way that Hank Williams had in the 1940s and Patsy Cline had in the 1950s.

| | She & Him Volume One CD (2008)
I'm Going That Way CD music
$13.05
Generally, it's a good idea to be wary of actors who make pop albums, but every rule has at least one exception, and She and Him's VOLUME ONE is an unfettered delight. A collaboration between actress Zooey Deschanel (ALMOST FAMOUS, ELF) and prolific indie-folk musician M. Ward, She and Him is not merely a case of a cult musician using a more famous name as an entrée into the musical mainstream: in fact, Deschanel is the primary songwriter here and sings all the lead vocals barring a pair of duets, and she scores impressively on both fronts.
Deschanel turns out to be a gifted pop songwriter with a knack for penning crisp 1960s-style pop songs like the glorious first single, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" and singing them in a flirty, country-inflected style that recalls the likes of Jackie DeShannon and early Linda Ronstadt. Ward and an all-star band of fellow Portland, Oregon, indie-ites, including the Decemberists' Rachel Blumberg on drums, set Deschanel's songs and vocals in arrangements perfectly balanced between Phil Spector bombast and indie-rock cool. The entire album is a joyous, enchanting listen.

$16.65 
After Mountain split up in 1972, it sporadically reunited in one form or another, even after bassist Felix Pappalardi's death in the early '80s. The first such reunion took place less than a year after its first split, resulting in a new studio album, AVALANCHE, and a live set, TWIN PEAKS.
Issued in 1974, TWIN PEAKS finds Pappalardi and guitarist Leslie West joined by new drummer Allan Schwartzberg as they bash and wail their way through nine songs. This was the era of jamming, in which Mountain indulged mightily, as evidenced here by a 33-minute, ...
