| | Turnip Greens Carry Me Down The Aisle CD Turnip Greens Discography of CDs
Turnip Greens are four seasoned musicians from Arhus, Denmark. Their music is a unique blend of several musical styles from the southern states of the US. They are influenced by Tom Waits, Dr. John, Delbert McClinton, Elvis, The Meters, B.B. King, Solomon Burke, Daniel Lanois, Ry Cooder, Doyle Bramhall II, Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, Muddy Waters, The Black Keys and many more. Without a doubt the geographical distance between Denmark and the US is the reason for the fresh and original approach to the music. At the same time you hear exactly where they are coming from and in the music you hear a deep respect for 'the masters' and 'the tradition'. On this disc you'll find eleven great original songs and to me it's some of the best new roots music that I heard in a long while.
One would expect that an album with such a folksy title and a down-home artist name would be a knees-up trad folk workout of old Southern favorites. In fact, the Danish quartet Turnip Greens sound like they take the Old South of Flannery O'Connor's gothic creepouts as their starting point. Musically, Tom Waits is all over this album, specifically his more recent blend of acoustic instrumentation and thick sonic atmospheres; Daniel Lanois' deliberately muddy neo-Louisiana vibe is another important touchstone. Traditional instruments like slide guitar, harmonium, and mandolin are treated with layers of effects that would do a Cocteau Twins album proud, leaving everything in the arrangements so artificially twisted and deliberately misshapen that the intended effect of creepy disorientation is lost in the onslaught of distractingly weird noises. Even the vocals are excessively treated with reverb and slapback echo, a distancing technique that keeps the listener from developing any kind of emotional connection to the mytho-poetic lyrics. Had the band simply dialed everything back (including those overwrought lyrics) by about 50 percent or so, Carry Me Down the Aisle would be a far more effective piece of artsy quasi-Americana. As it is, the album is simply trying way too hard. ~ Stewart Mason

Carry Me Down The Aisle songs
$8.75
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a song straight out of '60s girl-group heaven. There is even a "Joy To The World" medley mixing the old and the new--the traditional Christmas ...
| | Rammstein Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da CDs (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
Carry Me Down The Aisle album
$17.79
Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in "Haifisch" or the soundtrack strings of "Wiener Blut" which are eventually overcome by a guitar crunching juggernaut. This strange mix of styles is more effective here than it has been for about a decade, and there's no threat of the album ...
| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Carry Me Down The Aisle CD music
$16.44
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling card. And even as she's becoming omnipresent, with her songs mingling with those who co-opt her on the radio, she still is slightly skewed, willing ...
