With an extraordinary songwriting prowess that merits comparisons to the likes of Bob Dylan and Neil Young, a twin guitar latticework that marries Pavement's jagged jangle with the rustic psychedelica of the Grateful Dead, and a Band-like musical camaraderie that spills out of their harmonies, Company may be the most criminally underappreciated band of their time. OLD BABY--their second masterpiece in as many tries on Brah Records--argues this emphatically.
The band's trio of stellar songwriters--Christopher Teret, Adam Davison, and Stephanie Rabins--each bring a slate of neo-classics to the table: Teret's "The Sad Businessman" finds the same weariness in struggles emotional and political; Davison's "Old Crow's Complaint" taps a rural rock sensibility that recalls WORKINGMAN'S DEAD; and Rabins wrings affecting poetics out of simple realities like gardening chores--"Poison Ivy"--and irritating co-workers--"Down In the Goathouse." With Dave Janik's ever-shifting drums propelling them forward and warm harmonies enveloping each chorus, every track on OLD BABY resonates long after the album's close. Essential.

Old Baby album
 $11.18   
With Adam Lambert, American Idol finally got a finalist who was completely, utterly contemporary, aware of what's hip in music and culture and aware of how music is made and consumed in 2009, never seeming to try to follow fads or set trends, just embodying the time. Mercifully, he came in second to Kris Allen, for if he came in first he may have had to tame his self-styled glamazon ways. A second place finish allowed Lambert to come out of the closet and indulge in his penchant for theater on his debut, For Your Entertainment -- which isn't quite the same thing as camp, for if Adam Lambert is anything, he's earnest about his dress-up, never winking at the audience because he doesn't think there's much funny about his glitter and mascara: that's just what pop stars are supposed to do. He's learned that by listening to his stacks of Queen and Bowie records, from watching old MTV videos on YouTube, from living in a present that always competes with the ever-present past, so he takes it all at face value, mixing up arena rock guitars, ...

Old Baby music CDs
$6.65 
Hidden Beach Recordings' Hidden Hits, Vol. 1 is a sampler of unsigned artists assembled by Steve McKeever's custom label, which was put on the map by the success of hip-hop/rap/neo-soul artist Jill Scott. The selections are typical of the mix of African-American styles the label has promoted during its short life. Hidden Beach's company goal is to find ways to make rap and hip-hop acceptable to an older demographic (and thus more broadly popular) by infusing (or diluting) it with elements of soul and smooth jazz. It's a reasonable enough charter, but the compilation and release of Hidden Hits, Vol. 1 (no, none of them are actually hits) suggests that the company is hoping someone else -- radio, reviewers? -- will do its A&R work for it and help decide which of these unknown artists should be signed. Those who wish to take the bait are going to find that, not surprisingly, the compilers are better at identifying acceptable neo-soul performers like J.R. ("I Choose You") and even the French-language act 7Destinee7 ("C'Est Durs"), who tend to come later in the sequencing, than rappers, who are mostly placed up front. Performers such as Critically Acclaimed & Kev Brown ("Wallflower") and jaMal ("Oh No," "Playa") offer little in ...

Old Baby album
$9.69
With all the mucky-muck that passes off as hardcore (pre- or post-, emo, Elmo, or screamo) in the late 2000s, Long Island, NY's This Is Hell actually achieve some distinction through balance, neither confining themselves inside the genre's unbending dull-as-cardboard basics nor losing their cool with gratuitous musical flailing and hysterical vocalizing. Their second album for Trustkill, 2008's Misfortunes doesn't reinvent the wheel by any stretch, but it ...
| | Joe Satriani CD (1995)
Old Baby CD music
$5.95
"(You're) My World" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
Joe Satriani's self-titled, seventh adventure bursts with a new level of maturity and musicianship. The first thing that hits you is a fat, warm guitar tone wallowing in an enormous groove, but the overall sound is different from the Satch we're used to. JOE SATRIANI is much more direct, more raw and more effective. It is as though he has been stripped of any superfluous trimmings and wayward effects so that the beautiful guitar within his soul can shine clearly.
This lucidity reveals a gifted and consistent songwriter, sublimely talented guitarist, versatile improviser and a kickin' band--strengths that allow Satriani to express himself ever so eloguently, evoking emotions on a universal level. The opener, "Cool #9," is a funky, polyrhythmic scorcher on which Satriani grows a stratospheric guitar solo out of a few well-placed succinct phrases. That's just the first of the burning rock to be found on JOE SATRIANI, most of it propelled by the tremendous drumming of Manu Katche.
Satriani also pours much of his ferocious red energy into the blues. There are four genuine blues offerings here, showcasing Joe on slide guitar, Joe on harp, Joe on dobro and Joe on vocals. Occasionally adding the touch of rhythm guitar master Andy Fairweather Low, Satriani plays the blues with spine-warming emotion, milking buckets of feeling out of his strings to feed sweet melodies.
A guitar virtuoso and genius of instrumental composition, Joe Satriani explores deeper waters with a haunting yet richly entailed work of stripped-down blues-rock and improvisational jazz. This record, self-titled as Joe Satriani, puts the guitar wizard into a streaming new light of musical impression, as his efforts point toward a sincere evolutionary progression in composition and arrangement. With a collective of the most witty, crafty, and enticing musicians in jazz and blues, Satriani blends soaring, scintillating scale passages with pulsating, engaging melodic lines. With the help of his main group during these sessions -- Andy Fairweather Low on rhythm guitar, Nathan East on bass, and Manu Katche on drums -- Satriani reaches further into his musical self ...
