| | Mick Turner Blue Trees CD Mick Turner Discography of CDs
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to guitarist Mick Turner's extracurricular activities away from his regular gig with the Aussie indie mainstays the Dirty Three. Much of Blue Trees, a cobbling together of compilation tracks, out of print singles and previously unreleased material sounds just a violin overdub from being genuine D3 compositions — especially since the band's drummer Jim White appears throughout. But the fourteen hazily gorgeous tracks presented here don't feel like leftovers, mostly owing to the fact that Turner is almost always a gripping player. It's not that he has great, or even remotely virtuosic technique on the guitar— it's that he's able to load a remarkable amount of tension and release into even the simplest fret movement. Listening to him play can be literally breathtaking, as he lingers over a seemingly simple chord progression, coaxing a desolate, otherworldly sound from six strings. If you're a fan of the Dirty Three, you owe it to yourself to check out Turner on his own. Mick Turner Blue Trees Songs | 1. | Swing Parts 1&2 |

$31.25 This documentary of the Rolling Stones' 1969 US tour has become a legendary, harrowing symbol of the tragic demise of the "Peace and Love" era.

Blue Trees music CDs
$11.05 At a time when seemingly every band with access to an analog synthesizer and a tube of hair gel was aping the New Wave sounds of the early 1980s, NOUVELLE VAGUE put a unique spin on the phenomenon. Their self-titled album is full of covers of classic tunes by the Cure, Modern English, Depeche Mode, et al. The striking twist, however, lies in the fact that all the songs are performed in old-school bossa nova mode, the lyrics delivered in a vintage Astrud Gilberto style. The cooing, breathy vocals and gentle acoustic guitar rhythms successfully transmogrify not only ...
| | Sufjan Stevens Illinois CD (2005)
Blue Trees songs
$12.09 The second entry from sui generis singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens in his absurdly ambitious project to make a record for every state in America outdistances even 2003's superb GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN in scope and beauty. A sweeping paean to the Lincoln state, ILLINOIS weaves together history, personal confession, and detail-filled scenarios with chamber folk, expansive orchestral pop, and back-porch pastoral settings for a stunningly progressive indie gem that sound like Brian Wilson, Stereolab, and Neil Young holding hands in heaven.
Remarkably, in its intricate, gorgeously crafted surfaces, ILLINOIS lives up to its aims. In addition to its symphonic grandeur, the album also showcases Stevens's heartland folk, and some of the album's most shimmering moments are its most spare. "John Wayne Gacy, Jr.," for instance, is an absorbing narrative that features Stevens's sweet tenor couched by guitar, piano, and backing vocals. "Casimir Pulaski Day," similarly, rides a rootsy banjo and guitar groove while Stevens unfurls image-rich lyrics over a lilting melody. Witty, audacious, and moving, ILLINOIS manages to be spiritual, entertaining, and educational all at once, resulting in an utterly unique conceptual and musical statement.

| | Ry Cooder My Name Is Buddy CD (2007)
Blue Trees album
$17.85 With a concept that could have failed on so many levels in lesser hands, Ry Cooder stuns once again in MY NAME IS BUDDY and demonstrates why he is one of America's most adventurous musicians. His chosen material is a loose collection of animal character sketches--the titular Buddy is a cat--based on labor struggles and the lower class in Depression-era America. Think of it as Woody Guthrie meets Beatrix Potter.
While an odd construct on page for a man that jammed with Beefheart, the Stones, and the Buena Vista Social Club, MY NAME IS BUDDY flies with every track. The stellar cast of musicians includes the brothers Seeger, Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner, Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains, and Flaco Jimenez, and grounds the fairy tale atmosphere with musical blood and guts. The ensembles tear through early-19th-century forms (country blues, bluegrass, and old-time arrangements) with a rollicking flair.

| | Rosetta Wake/Lift CD (2007) Digipak
Blue Trees CD music
$11.39 Philadelphia's Rosetta made quite a splash with their debut album, The Galilean Satellites, by delivering not one, but two discs produced so as to be played simultaneously on two separate stereos. This allowed enterprising, dual hi-fi enabled listeners to sit within a converging vortex of post-metallic sound, not unlike the inky depths of space conjured by the band's lyrics. But now what? How can they possibly top such an ambitious enterprise with a second opus in 2007's Wake/Lift that says all it has to say with but one CD? Simple: don't separate into two halves what can just as effectively be presented as a single whole. Who the hell owns two CD players anyway? All of these silly "more is better" debates aside, the fact of the matter is that Wake/Lift pretty much picks up exactly where The Galilean Satellites left off: with a series of densely constructed trance-metal epics, as rife with futuristic, prog-ambient sophistications as they are with visceral primal sludge -- but arguably more fluid and satisfying in their violently alternating mood swings than anything that came before. Suitably colossal highlights, ...
