Walela are made up of Rita Coolidge and her sister Priscilla Coolidge plus Priscilla's daughter Laura Satterfield, and when the three sing together, what emerges is a soothing, ethereal sound that fits perfectly with the sort of Native American new age gospel direction the trio favors. This set is drawn from Walela's two albums for Triloka Records, 1997's self-titled Walela and 2000's Unbearable Love, but given the overall similarity of the two records, this sequence feels pretty seamless, full of atmospherics (so atmospheric that some cuts seem to vanish into vapor) and at times almost rhythm-less backing tracks over which the trio's harmonies float like so much light smoke. This stuff is an acquired taste, truthfully, but there is no denying that songs like "Cherokee Morning Song" and "Wash Your Spirit Clean" have the kind of grace and conviction that make the heart swell. ~ Steve Leggett
Walela: Laura Satterfield, Priscilla Coolidge, Rita Coolidge.

The new CD album, release "Bamboo Tales" was recorded by Craig Russell in his own studio. Like his first album "Bamboo", he continues to be inspired by cane and bamboo flutes.Although Craig plays many musical instruments, He says nothing relaxes him or speaks to his soul like the bamboo flute. Craig purchased his first bamboo flute when he was twelve years old from the famous Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington.While bamboo flutes were mostly associated with the music of the middle and Far East, Craig found that when combined with jazz chords and high-energy rhythms they made a wild and free sound. Listeners who have heard the album, find that it takes them out of the city and into the depths of the jungle. Craig was exposed to many styles of music at an early age. His father owned a radio station and brought home many interesting records to enjoy. At age nine, Craig ...

It probably helps to define the word "hit" before determining whether this 11-song compilation lives up to its title. If it means that a record must have placed in the Billboard Top Ten in America, then the title is a fib -- not all of these recordings even made the Top 100. And if World Hits is meant to imply that its contents are sung in languages other than English, that too would disqualify this collection: the two reggae tracks, for example, Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come" and Peter Tosh's "(You Gotta Walk) Don't Look Back," which features a guest vocal from Mick Jagger, hail from Jamaica and are sung in English. (Cliff, incidentally, did chart three times in the U.S., but this song, from the soundtrack of the same-named film, wasn't one of them.) "7 Seconds," from Senegal's Youssou N'Dour with Britain's Neneh Cherry, is in English, and the incidental vocal asides in Mongo Santamaria's "Watermelon Man" are too. When South Africa's Miriam Makeba released her "Pata Pata" in 1967 she took a mid-song break from singing in the Xhosa language to explain the song's meaning in English, but the version featured here is a later remake (admittedly, no English in sight). And not all of these artists even come from outside of the U.S.: Santana, its leader's Mexican heritage notwithstanding, hailed from California.
But if World Hits means that there is a certain degree of familiarity to these recordings within the U.S., which has been historically unkind to music from ...

Besides his 11 compositions, Meia Noite contains "Estrada ...
