 (1 Customer Review)
For 2007's COURAGE, her debut on the Decca Label and first album in more than seven years, Paula Cole downplays Lilith Fair dreaminess in favor of a sound that leans towards folk and jazz. Opening with the delicate acoustic-driven number "Comin' Down," COURAGE signals a sparer approach for the Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter, allowing more attention to fall on her expressive voice. Other highlights include the elegant "Lonely Town," which features jazz legend Herbie Hancock on piano, and the string-augmented "14," a song that warmly celebrates optimism. One of the finest pop/jazz comebacks since Madeleine Peyroux broke her eight-year silence, COURAGE marks Cole's welcome return, and points to a promisingly reinvigorated career.

The first thing you feel is the voice: dark, earthy, ethereal. Paula Cole brings a lifetime of training and ambition to her first set of songs, HARBINGER, and from the haunted alienation of "Black Boots" to the incense-scented imagery of "Chiaroscuro," the singer transcends mere technical gifts to craft some of the most singular, deeply felt confessionals in all of pop.
With her dusky contralto, and ringing upper register ellisions, she had all the formal tools to be a jazz diva, but by and by Cole realized that her true source of expression lay in the arty, progressive rock stylings ...

Paula Cole gives a powerful performance on this stirring dialogue with humanity and the divine. She's clearly done a lot of thinking and growing up since the release of THIS FIRE, and as a result offers a previously unmatched emotional candor. Veteran drummer Jay Bellerose joins her again with his complementing touch, while Kevin Barry provides all manner of guitar work to complete the core of the Paula Cole Band.

Courage
$8.99
The men of Pink Floyd have always taken their time, turning out stately epics at a less than hectic clip. Accordingly, 22 years separate ON AN ISLAND from ABOUT FACE, the previous solo album by Floyd axeman/singer David Gilmour. On the latter, Gilmour was still trying to distance his own sound from Floyd's, but with that band mostly a memory in 2006, he was free to honor its legacy, much as Paul McCartney's later albums acknowledged the Beatles' work.
The template for ON AN ISLAND seems to be tracks like "Breathe" from DARK ...

Like an amoeba, the Ramsey Lewis Trio split into two virtually identical units in 1966, with bassist Eldee Young and drummer Isaac "Red" Holt forming their own soul-jazz piano trio. Then known as the Young Holt Trio, this may have been the only major trio to feature the bassist and drummer, but not the pianist (!), in the group's ...

A Message From the Recording Engineer-Tyler Jackson is a fresh young talent with decades of history infused into his banjo style. Fortunately for Tyler the source of that infusion is none other than Buddy Wachter. I have performed with and recorded thousands of musicians, many of them with very recognizable names, in forty years as an engineer, producer and musician and not one of them has been as consistently prodigious or committed to the pursuit of perfection as Buddy Wachter. But time marches on, and Buddy has reached that place in life where just being the greatest banjo player in history isn't enough, and a different call beckons - the call to pass it on to a younger generation. Tyler Jackson is the fully deserving and incredibly fortunate recipient of that passage. Though Buddy has been extolling the virtues of Tyler to me for several years, it is only now through doing this recording that I have come to know this remarkable 18 year old musician - and may I add, gentleman - and witness the relationship and the artistic transference in person. I have watched Buddy the father, mentor, brother, friend,and master just as I have watched Tyler the son, protege and human sponge absorbing at a rate that is only possible by a formative and extraordinarily talented mind. Maybe the future of real music, performed on real instruments by real musicians, isn't as dismal as my fears would portend. This CD is the first in a series of artisic infusions from a genuine living master into a pre-eminent member of the new guard. I hope hearing it means as much to the listener as recording it has meant to me.-Richard Roeder************* It's a sad fact that four-string banjo music occupies a small place in today's popular musical genres. While the five-string banjo has evolved and grown through the immense popularity of bluegrass music, the style of banjo playing that uses a single plectrum (pick) to coax music out of four strings has diminished through the years. Almost a century ago, during the ragtime and jazz eras, four-string tenor and plectrum banjos were the standard rhythm instruments of the day. At the height of their popularity, virtuoso aritists such as Harry Reser and Eddie Peabody ...
