OLA ONABULE, THE CONTINUING SAGA OF A BRITISH INDIE SOUL SOLDIER.Chapter six: "THE DEVOURED MAN""... a master of his instrument, a superb storyteller, a gracious human-being" - Robert Papaleoni, Co-Executive Producer "OLA ONABULE IN CONCERT" WCNY TV (PBS) Syracuse, NY, USA"His unique selling proposition is a golden voice, with a range and smoothness that recalls singers such as Luther Vandross... ...his songs break free of funk, with a voice that is beautifully clear and appealingly textured, almost classical. There are moments when he lets fly with a kind of yodelling ululation, like a more radio-friendly Leon Thomas."John L Walters, The Guardian âA collection of beguilingly emotive â and surprisingly politicised songs that recalls Marvin Gayeâs masterpiece "Whatâs Going On" and is a world away from the airbrushed grooves that are supposed to constitute the genre these days. Whatâs going on indeed?" -Rory Ford, EDINBURGH EVENING NEWSâ...His voice has touches of super smoothies George Benson and Al Jarreau, as well as the grittier Memphis style and he has a range and elasticity to match his rich tonal qualities.â ROB ADAMS, THE HERALD, SCOTLAND"His latest conscious soul outing âThe Devoured Manâ ... a killer voice, and three-octave range at his disposal, Ola is a class act among many lesser, certainly less intelligent, soul-jazz Joes." JAZZWISE MAGAZINE" The UK's answer to Donny Hathaway..."THE BASEMENTâThe Devoured Man is probably his best complete album so far, a grown up album full of intelligent lyrics, wonderful and yearningly soulful vocals from the man himself.âCHRIS WELLS, ECHOES Devoured Man Music | Category | Jazz Albums, R&B CDs | | Label | Proper | | Orig Year | 2007 | | CD Universe Part number | 7578642 | | Catalog number | 157817 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Nov 13, 2007 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Additional Info | United Kingdom |

Purchase Devoured Man CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Norah Jones Fall CD (2009)
Devoured Man
$14.44 With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter. Jones began this shift on 2007's Not Too Late, an album that gently rejected her tendencies for lulling, tasteful crooning, but The Fall is a stronger, more cohesive work, maintaining an elegantly dreamy state that's faithful to the crooner of Come Away with Me while feeling decidedly less classicist. Some of this could be attributed to Jones' choice of producer, Jacquire King, best-known for his work with Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon, but King hardly pushes Norah in a rock direction; The Fall does bear some mild echoes of Fiona Apple or Aimee Mann in ballad mode, but its arrangements never call attention to themselves, the way that some Jon O'Brien productions do. Instead, the focus is always on Jones' voice and songs, which are once again all originals, sometimes composed in conjunction with collaborators including her longtime colleagues Jesse Harris, Ryan Adams, and Will Sheff of Okkervil River. In addition to King's pedigree, the latter two co-writers suggest a slight indie bent to Jones' direction, which isn't an inaccurate impression -- there's certainly ...

| | Ultimate Phyllis Hyman CD (2004) Remastered
Devoured Man
$8.99 Recorded between 1977 & 1995. Includes liner notes by David Nathan.
Out of all the Phyllis Hyman compilations -- of which there were roughly a dozen floating around by early 2004 -- Ultimate Phyllis Hyman is one of the more desirable looks at the singer's career. This works as an abbreviated version of 1996's two-disc The Legacy of Phyllis Hyman, and it focuses on the hits that were most popular, all the while including a handful of album cuts. Since it considers her stints with numerous labels (Buddah, Philadelphia International, ...
| | Harry Connick, Jr Your Songs CD (2009)
Devoured Man
$13.79 Much like 2001's SONGS I HEARD and 2004's ONLY YOU, 2009's YOUR SONGS finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane, passionate set of American popular standards and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side--ONLY YOU featured songs of the '50s and '60s--YOUR SONGS features a more eclectic mix of standards and pop songs, with Connick's own lush orchestration lending an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired '60s pop nugget and, conversely, the Beatles' 1964 classic "And I Love Her" gets a kind of '70s Latin lounge feel with classical guitar flourishes. However, Connick isn't only concerned with reworking tunes in unexpected ways; on the contrary, longtime fans of Connick's swinging neo-crooner vocals will be pleasantly surprised by his straightforward takes on "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Some Enchanted Evening." Similarly engaging are his renditions of such rock-oriented tunes as Elton John's "Your Song," his low-key version of Don McLean's "And I Love You So," and the Carpenters' "(They Long to Be) Close to You." Ultimately, YOUR SONG is a classy and feel-good stroll of an album.

| | Carole King Carnegie Hall Concert CD (1996)
Devoured Man
$6.89 From the late '50s through the '60s, Carole King was one-half of arguably the best of the Brill Building songwriting teams. (Mann-Weil and Barry-Greenwich provided stiff competition for Goffin-King.) Striking out as a performer in 1968, she didn't find much in the way of success until 1971, when her brilliant album TAPESTRY came out of seemingly nowhere to become, until SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, the best-selling album of all time. THE CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT 1971, then, captures King at her height, both commercially and artistically. Recorded the week that "It's Too Late" hit #1, this 17-track set shows that fame was still a new thing for the shy Brooklynite. Her voice audibly cracks at a few points, and she rushes and stutters through her few brief song ...
