Ever since Martin Swan's Mouth Music project sputtered to a disappointing halt around 2000, there had been a hole in the music world that was waiting to be filled by someone else willing to take unabashedly traditional Scottish music and juxtapose it with unashamedly slamming breakbeats and 21st century production techniques. Martyn Bennett had actually been working that territory since his eponymous debut in 1995 but really came into his own in the years since; Grit is a tour de force of avant-folk fusion ...
| | Funkadelic Uncle Jam Want You CD (1979) (Import) Import
Rashaya CD music
$11.29
Almost as if Clinton and company wanted to atone for parts of One Nation Under a Groove, Uncle Jam Wants You takes not merely a more daring musical approach but a more forthright political stance. The cover art alone is brilliant, front and back showing Clinton in Huey P. Newton's famous Black Panther pose. The main goal is the cover subtitle's stated claim to "rescue dance music 'from the blahs,'" and "Uncle Jam" itself does a pretty funny job at doing that, starting out like a parody of patriotic recruitment ads before hitting its full, funky stride. It's still very much a disco effort, but one overtly spiking the brew even more than before with P-Funk's own particular recipe, mock drill instructors calling out dance commands and so forth. The absolute winner and most famous track, without question, is the 15-minute deep groove of "(Not Just) Knee Deep." It'd be legend alone for being the musical basis for De La Soul's astonishing breakthrough a decade later with "Me, Myself and I," but on its own it predates the mutation of disco into electro thanks to the stiff beat and Worrell's crazy keyboards. Elsewhere there are pleasant enough jams like "Field Maneuvers," kicking around some good guitar work amidst the hop-and-skip beat, and the weepy ballad "Holly Wants to Go to California," intentionally ...

Rashaya music CDs
$10.19
Thanks for checking me out. I have left Louisiana for the east village (NYC) and you can find me wandering aimlessly @ Thompkins Square; hangin' tough with bow-legged Lou and all my new ny homies. Here is a nice review written by an old friend.It was late last century, and I just moved 1300 miles from Baton Rouge, Louisiana into Hallett Hall at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The dorm was the Animal House of the residence halls with its own collection of Blutos, Otters, Flounders, and of course the lowest GPA on campus; which we were actually kinda proud of and did our best to further bring down. During this odyssey of double secret probation, I met Kenny Cambre, a fellow Louisiana expatriate who had also moved to Colorado, pretty much, just to go.During freshman year, Kenny introduced me to a wide variety of music ranging from Motown to the Grateful Dead (and dare I forget his beloved AC/DC). It would actually be another year though, before Kenny even bought his first guitar, at least that I knew of. After that, we would intermittently bump into each other until I left Boulder in 1992. As a player myself, we would talk guitar, new CDs and concerts then we wouldn’t see each other again for another six months to a year at a time.It wasn’t until we bumped into each other again 13 years later at Tipitina’s in pre-Katrina New Orleans last year, that he actually mentioned he was writing songs and sometimes recording with friends up north. Listening to the CD, “The Guy You Cheer For,” you will realize Kenny has internalized all kinds of music. It also contains a broad collection of highly relatable life experiences, both hopeful and heartbreaking that will resonate with even the most cynical listener.In this commercial world, categorization and comparison of an artist is inevitable. Here are some more conventional references to hang your hats ...

THE OUTLYERSBiography • May 2006"Hits & Myths is a beautiful record... [The Outlyers] have a streak of dignified individualism that should be treasured. This is a true 'Americana' band, and for my money, the equal of any similar outfit working in, living in, or even thinking about making the pilgrimage to Austin."Jeff Miers - Buffalo News, May 2006The Outlyers are an Americana rock‘n’roll band from Buffalo, New York that mixes their own well-penned songs with a crowd-pleasing mix of cover tunes. The group shows a wide-ranging love of the roots/rock canon across the decades, playing well-known classics and hidden gems from the era of Elvis and Buddy Holly to anthems by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Steve Earle, and Bruce Springsteen, to name but a few. The band’s original members, guitarists Dave Meinzer and Adam Gearing, bassist Tom Fischer, and drummer Jim Celeste – all mainstays of the Buffalo music scene, formed the Outlyers in 1998. They began slowly, with limited appearances at events such as a Gram Parsons Birthday Party at Buffalo’s Mohawk Place. Encouraged by audiences’ enthusiastic response, the Outlyers began playing venues from the Americanarama Festival in Buffalo to the Orange Bear in New York City’s lower Manhattan. They have played a monthly Friday Happy Hour show at Nietzsche’s in downtown Buffalo for almost four years. Keyboardist Cathy Carfagna started out as a guest performer with the group but became a full member a year or so after ...
