| | Mandragore Chants Des Tavernes: Rebetiko CD Mandragore Discography of CDs
The Greek musical genre rebetiko became popular in the bars and hashish dens in the slums of port cities such as Athens and Thessaloniki in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Roughly analogous to the blues, it speaks of and to the disenfranchised poor, frequently including songs about hashish and opium smoking. Though it lacks some of the form's earthiness, this expertly performed and sung collection from the Greek folk revival band Mandragore gives an idea of the music's essential appeal, with excellent solo oud and bouzouki performances.

Chants Des Tavernes: Rebetiko
$14.29
Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown has been stretching the definition of blues since the late 1940s, when his seminal Peacock recordings first hinted at his category-defying blend of swing, R&B, jazz, and countrified twang. 1987's REAL LIFE serves up the Texas master's pan-roots aesthetic with sophistication, soul, and panache. Recorded live, REAL LIFE offers studio quality sound and polish, with all the improvisatory glee and spontaneous energy of a concert performance.
On cuts such as the Peacock favorite "Okie Dokie Stomp" and the finger-popping jump blues title track, Brown demonstrates that his fretboard-melting fingers are still in excellent shape. On "Catfish," he breaks out his violin for a string of inventive solos, proving the instrument (in the right hands, of course) as capable of soulful, bluesy wailing as any. Like most of his '80s and '90s recordings, the personnel here includes an R&B big band, complete with a fat, sassy horn section that provides hard-swinging muscle on favorites such as "Take The A Train" and a funky, gear-shifting "St. Louis Blues." The combination of the band's slick, punchy sound and Brown's dazzling axe-work and throaty, down-home vocals adds up to a thoroughly satisfying dose of real American roots music.

| | Barry Martyn's Down Home Boys CD (1993)
Chants Des Tavernes: Rebetiko
$9.05
There are two unusual aspects to this trad jazz set: the instrumentation and the repertoire. There are not that many clarinet-trombone-guitar-drums quartets in New Orleans jazz but this combination works. Guitarist Ron Simpson not only fulfills the role of a rhythm guitar but also that of a bass, showing that his instrument really can be a rhythm section by itself. With leader-drummer Barry Martyn keeping a quiet but steady rhythm, clarinetist Chris Burke often functions as the lead voice although trombonist Wendell Eugene is also quite capable of playing the melody when required. As for the repertoire, few Dixieland dates include such songs ...

M'Bilia Bel came to fame as the female vocal foil of the great Tabu Ley Rochereau, rising to become the Queen of Congolese rhumba -- a justly deserved title. This solo album does nothing to diminish her reputation. While the heart of her sound is rooted in the Congo, as it should be, this offers something a little more ...

Chants Des Tavernes: Rebetiko
$12.75
There are some extreme metal discs that, for all their brutality, still value nuance, melody, and songcraft. Others, however, favor sensory assault for the sake of sensory assault, which is exactly what one gets on Knights of the Abyss' debut album, Juggernaut. With a name like Knights of the Abyss, one might expect an epic type of album -- perhaps symphonic black metal or Viking metal, perhaps some type of grandiose melodic death metal that liberally incorporates elements of power metal and progressive rock. Instead, what transpires on this 2007 release is best described as a ferocious, skull-smashing blend of technical metalcore (metalcore meets math rock) and death metal with occasional hints of black metal. Tempo changes are frequent, and Knights of the Abyss not only go out of their way to be as abrasive as possible -- they also make a point ...
