The repertoire here is drawn from songs the singer has written and recorded previously, but these reinterpretations burn with a fierce intensity all their own. Part of the power comes from the arrangements, which favor accordion, bass, drums, and electric guitar rather than more conventional instrumentation. But it's Lincoln's beautiful songs and even more beautiful performances that make ABBEY SINGS ABBEY a must-hear.
Artists still recording in their twilight years can yield hit-or-miss results; diminished skills or lack of vitality or intent can often produce lackluster music. Fortunately, none of these things are the case with Abbey Lincoln's ABBEY SINGS ABBEY. Though she was in her mid-70s at the time of the recording, Lincoln's voice has never sounded earthier, wiser, or more resonant with human emotion.
Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Larry Campbell (acoustic guitar); Dave Eggar (cello); Gil Goldstein (accordion); Scott Colley (bass guitar); Shawn Pelton (drum).
Down Beat (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Abbey Lincoln, doyenne of underground singers and griot since 1960, achieves recording near-nirvana, effortlessly showing wisdom and peacemaking on this set."
JazzTimes (p.98) - "[Lincoln's voice is] still profoundly soulful and moving. Certainly anyone looking for confirmation of her status as a great jazz poet-philosopher will find it here..."
No Depression (p.103) - "Lincoln conducts a master class in phrasing....The accordion and string band enlisted evoke a late-night country blues bar or a boulevard cafe."

Abbey Sings Abbey album
 $6.19  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, ...
| | Billie Holiday Complete Verve Studio Master Takes CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set
Abbey Sings Abbey CD music
$51.95 
THE COMPLETE VERVE STUDIO MASTER TAKES makes a definitive and compelling case for Holiday's Verve tenure. Packaged in a deep-dish metallic box (which resembles the world's most beautiful lunch pail), THE COMPLETE comprises six CDs, a 60-page booklet filled with rare photographs and superb liner notes, and dazzlingly crisp sound via digital remastering. The musicians on these sessions were some of the finest of the era, and Holiday herself--even with a gift impaired by time and abuse--sings with impeccable artistry, and beautifully enough to break the heart. The set is essential for completists, and is also a great one-stop for those looking to acquaint themselves with Lady Day's later work.
Billie Holiday fans will argue eternally over the relative merits of the different phases of her career. In these arguments Lady Day's work for Verve, which roughly covered ...

At the end of 2005, d.rogers returned to Melbourne after living in Japan for two years - his guitar in one hand, his newly recorded album 'neath the dark of fuses blown in the other. Within two months of landing, rogers had secured a manager, a CD release deal, an ARIA award winning producer offering to record his next album, and played shows with Sophie Koh and Josh Pyke. Before he knew it, the critics were heaping accolades upon him:"...gorgeous country/folk/pop crossover..."Clem Bastow, Inpress'...a gem...' - Jeff JenkinsSingle Of The Week - Beat Magazine. ('Wrong, Wrong, Wrong/Paper Cuts') 'I was living in a big, faceless city - Sakae in Japan - when I made the album,' says rogers. 'I was teaching English. To kids on the telephone. Seriously. ''I was basically living above one of the largest train stations in the country. There was roughly a two-hour block between 2am and 4am when the trains didn't run. There were a few frustrating moments when I was recording and a freight train would go past. So, I would try and record in the mornings when it was mainly the quieter commuter trains going by. 'Despite these frustrations, rogers liked recording by himself. 'I liked that I didn't have to run songs by anyone or worry about how they would sound live. That said, when I did give the songs to my live band back in Melbourne, there were a few blank looks. ' But come later this year, d. rogers will be recording with his band and is really looking forward to it. The album shows that rogers likes short songs - six of the 10 ...
