Sun Volt's Jay Farrar and Varnaline's Anders Parker recorded this collection of traditional American folk songs between recording sessions for their main bands, and the results are spine-tingling (and as good as anything they've recorded separately). The duo deftly reworks folk standards previously recorded by luminaries like the Stanley Brothers and Ramblin' Jack Elliot, imbuing these often dark tales with an easy and non-melodramatic grace. Farrar's one original, the bluesy "Buzz and Grind," fits right in, sounding like one of the Band's sultrier numbers.Magnet (p.96) - "[T]he vibe is relaxed, low-key and mostly acoustic, with brief instrumental fragments spliced between the songs..."
CMJ (p.40) - "[T]he album is distinctly Farrar's, an avant-acoustic excursion through American music, which is what the man's always done best."
Dirty Linen (p.69) - "Beautiful and passionate....Their loving guitar work, committed singing, and spare production are both moving and haunting."

Customer Death Songs For The Living Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Less is much, much more.
Sparse and simple, but still a great disk. I would describe the music as folk blues with a hint of gospel. Definitely not pop music, but very interesting to listen to. The title of the disk describes the dark lyrics of each song about the black spectre visiting the living.

This record is beautiful, sparse and lush. If you like Son Volt's Way Down Watson from Straightaways, you'll love this stuff.

Love Songs: Bedroom Ballads
Marvin Gaye Love Songs: Bedroom Ballads CD  (2002) Remastered

Death Songs For The Living album
CD $7.45  3 stars Audio Samples
Recorded between 1967 & 1981. Includes liner notes by David Ritz. If the midline-priced Marvin Gaye compilation Love Songs: Bedroom Ballads seems to have two titles grafted together, that's not inappropriate to the album's contents. The album's love songs are the seven romantic standards Gaye labored over for more than a decade and never released during his lifetime, tracks that finally were issued in 1997 under the title Vulnerable. Working with lush string arrangements arranged by Bobby Scott, Gaye rewrites the melodies of familiar songs like "The Shadow of Your Smile" (heard here with a previously unreleased alternate vocal), rendering the material fresh and claiming it for his own. The "bedroom ballads" portion of the album, interspersed with the other songs, consists of six tracks that appeared originally on Gaye's albums Let's Get It On, I Want You, In Our Lifetime, and Here, My Dear. Written or co-written by Gaye himself, these songs employ the singer's mixture of romance with blunt eroticism, notably on tunes with titles like "You Sure Love to Ball" ...

CD $6.69  4 stars Audio Samples
Another entry into Fat Wreck Chords' Live in a Dive series, Strung Out's show was recorded at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA, on October 1st of 2002. The amazing thing about the series is that by capturing the live intensity, the recordings make otherwise only moderately interesting bands sound great. Strung Out's progression from pop-punk to ska to speed metal on the opener, "Too Close to See," sounds downright amazing with the yells of the crowd in the background. After that the band ...

Kevin Morgan Off The Beaten Tracks CD  (2006)

Death Songs For The Living album
CD $11.49
“As the title suggests, this is a different kind of trombone album. The tracks are all original compositions, apart from three traditional folk songs, and the general "feel" is mellow yet refreshing. A combination of thoughtful writing, rich arrangements and superb trombone playing, this is a sort of Mike-Oldfield-meets-Carlos-Santana of the trombone world! Highlights, for me, included the crossed rhythms and harmonies in "Stolen Moment"; a wonderfully 'blurred' arrangement of Greensleeves, and the final track, "Closing Circle", which is a smoky-club, slow rock number. There are touches of humour here too, amongst the silky light jazz. A gentle ...
