| | Marvella Mcpartland Portal CD Marvella Mcpartland Discography of CDs
Marvella McPartland along with Rouke Vanderveen and Ralph Huntley comprise the nucleus of the group known as "Lighten Up"...they are longtime musical buddies and cohorts in the Portland, Oregon area. The music they present is varied and ranges mainly in the blues, rock and jazz arena. The focus is on the joy of the moment. Music is a meditation for them and this perhaps is why there is a freshness and uplifting effect in their music. The album PORTAL is comprised of music that Marvella McPartland has written over her years in music and is arranged in such a way as to create an autobiography in music and verse. The experiences that are shared through the album, from the ridiculous to the sublime, are apt to spark a resonance in the listener as we have, most of us, been there and can relate.

Sounds of Spring EntertainmentP O Box 243601Boynton Beach, FL 33424(504) 251-8047 Artist, Spring has just released a new CD, “Spring is Here”. This New Orleans vocalist overcame unbelievable obstacles to release this funky, must have release. He was a regular on Bourbon Street when Katrina struck, leaving him with nothing. The studio was flooded where his tracts were recorded, not to mention his personal loss. As with all great entertainers that must share that special gift with the world, rather than holding it inside or recording just for the sake ...

Blues & Rhythm (UK), May 2007: "...a warm vocalist and talented guitarist...who is never afraid to take chances...one of the most gifted performers on the contemporary blues scene..."Blues Revue, June/July 2007: "...his musical persona is as palpable on disc as that of Taj Mahal or Keb' Mo' -- he's masterful, nuanced, and out to kill with blues power...Ultimately, each track is surprisingly different in style and execution from the last, but the entire disc possesses an overarching blues sensibility."Living Blues, August 2007: "It's a memorable offering from a fine blues songwriter -- a tradition that becomes scarcer in this genre every year since Willie Dixon passed."Juke Blues (UK), August 2007 "...this modern day troubadour demonstrates an originality both in his songwriting and in the variety of approaches he takes to convey these ideas..."Real Blues (Canada), August 2007TOP 100 Blues releases 2007Ghost Kings of Beale St.Chainsaw DupontHalfway – whether it’s a good thing or a bad one is entirely a matter of perspective. Halfway can be a glorious hybrid or a tedious limbo; without a sense of direction it can be an ominous crossroads.Memphis is halfway between the gritty blues of Chicago and the party rhythms of New Orleans. It’s a city that has always looked south for culture but north for validation. Rockabilly, spirituals, blues, and country all crossed paths in Memphis, got soaked in reverb, and re-emerged as pop music back when pop was cool. Sun Studio made it famous, but it was Stax that made it popular. Both labels had a distinctly Southern tension – half white, half black, one of them mixing the fury of bluegrass, hillbilly, and blues music, the other in near-blasphemy fusing spiritual and secular influences into pop music with weight and intensity.The Gateway to the South seemed to focus its rebellion through its music. After Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered, within a stone’s throw of Beale Street, the large black population of Memphis seethed with despair, and dignified resolve, but not with rage. That same year, the city government demolished most of the Beale Street entertainment district, leaving a tiny remnant intact to represent its enormous musical legacy.Two other Kings, B.B. and Albert, rose to fame in Memphis, but only well after the heyday of Beale, refocusing attention on the extraordinary black musical contributions of the city. They found fame in the 1970s as the last of the white icons associated with Sun, Elvis Presley, fell into decline and occasional ridicule, a shadow of the groundbreaking artist he was during the segregation era.The fog of segregation and Memphis’ ambivalent relationship with the sacred and the profane ...
| | Judybats Native Son CD (1990)
Portal
$9.69
All music by The Judybats, all lyrics by Jeff Heiskell except "Perfumed Lies" (lyrics by Johnny Sughrue).
The debut by folk-influenced college rockers the Judybats, 1991's Native Son, is an extremely uneven record. The high points are quite high indeed, but there's an awful lot of filler too. Conveniently, however, the good stuff and the not-so-good is segregated from one another, with the six best songs appearing at the front of the album and the B-squad material relegated to the second half. The peaks include the soaring title track and the sunny "Daylight," both songs powered by Johnny Sughrue's driving acoustic guitar, the group's secret weapon through most of their albums. The other pair of gems are the atypical "Don't Drop the Baby," an almost psychedelic slice of college radio-style spookiness, and a terrific cover of Roky Erickson's "She Lives (In a Time of Her Own)" that had first appeared on Sire's terrific Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye tribute. The Judybats, save for ...
