 (1 Customer Review)
Brazilian pop and late-'70s soul-rock are in abundance on the groovy, feel-good FESTIVAL. Except for constants like Raul Rekow and Chepito Areas forming the bedrock of the Santana percussion section, the roster of faces making up the Santana band began an ongoing metamorphosis after the original Woodstock lineup. Here, the star of the vocal numbers is the always-striking yet reassuringly soulful Leon Patillo, while Tom Coster continues his tenure at the keyboard/synth-helm. Unlike the material on BARBOLETTA of only a few years prior, however, the core lineup is the same and yet most of the lyrical content here consists of spare, feel-good mantras rather than more developed verses.
It's all about fiesta-time a la Rio de Janeiro on the title track, with its pulsing samba percussion and bilingual, choral party invitations. With a typically seamless transition, the band glides into even more Spanglish positivity on "Let the Children Play," with sliding rhythms and Hammond organ reminiscent of "Evil Ways." The light and sunny "Give Me Love" displays Carlos's clear fondness for soulsters like Al Green. "Revelations" is another addition to Carlos's treasured line of poignant instrumental ballads like "Europa," featuring you-know-who tearing it up in a sublime moment of electric abandon.
Recorded at Wally Heider Recording, San Francisco, California.

Festival album
 $7.59   
Following on the heels of Santana's 1970 breakthrough, ABRAXAS, 1971's SANTANA III is teeming with the eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, R&B, and Latin rhythms for which the band is known. Though somewhat more jam-oriented than its predecessor, SANTANA III is no less of an achievement. Full of percolating webs of percussion, jazzy keys parts, infectious call-and-response vocals, and the searing twin guitar attacks of Carlos Santana and Neal Schon (who later went on to form Journey), the album is an absorbing sonic experience from back to front.
Given Carlos Santana's late-career partnerships with everyone from Rob Thomas to the Black Eyed Peas, it's sometimes hard to remember that his band was a product of San Francisco's late-'60s ...

Festival album
$5.95
Longtime friend and promoter Bill Graham joins Devadip Carlos in the production of 1981's zestily-titled opus, ZEBOP. The material makes an even navigation between radio pop and Santana's signature brand of edgy Latin rock. While Carlos' playing reaches a keen clarity throughout, nothing lets the fire loose quite like the album's instrumental numbers. Found ...

Festival music CDs
$15.19
The Cumberland Trio, a prominant folk group from the Southern USA that originated in the '60s Folk Era, reunited for a 2nd time on September 24, 2004 once again at the historic Bijou Theatre in Knoxville, TN, for another official Reunion Concert, "Back Where We Began," which was captured in brilliant digital stereo, and features a 2 Disc CD, 29 song, 2 1/2 hour rousing concert happening, in front of a raucous and appreciative sold out SRO audience!! It has also just been released as a FANTASTIC DVD, also available right here on CDBaby in the Trio's CDBaby site.This new concert release has been praised by such Folk Icons as Mike Kirkland of The Brothers Four and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds as a Landmark Folk Recording that should be in all "folkies" and bluegrass fans' CD and DVD collections. The Cumberland Trio appeared on three episodes of ABC-TV's prime Saturday night prime time music show, "Hootenanny," in the mid-'60s and broke up in 1965 after the British Invasion. The ORIGINAL Trio, Andy Garverick, Jerre Haskew & Tom Kilpatrick, reunited in 2001 for a special live Reunion Concert (also available on on 2 Disc CD on their site on CDBaby) and continue to perform today to sold out audiences at intimate venues across the USA, as well as at large, multi-genre music festivals. The "Back Where We Began" 2 Disc CD (also available on DVD ontheir site on CDBaby)is brilliantly produced by Steve Wallace of CWSMultimedia.com and features a wide variety of songs, spanning the generations from the Folk Boom of the '60s to the present. To categorize this band's music genre is almost impossible, as it's music consists of hard-driving folk/bluegrass, folk and folk pop ballads, folk rock, reggae, blues, pop, as well as classical and traditional Southern gospel. Vocally, this landmark CD features the Trio's unique close harmonies and unique individual solo voices of each of the three members. Instrumentally, it features the great innovative driving and soft Scruggs, chromatic, rhythm and frailing banjo styles of Andy Garverick, the incredible unique lead/rhythm guitar and autoharp of Tom Kilpatrick, the high end guitar and banjo rhythm of Jerre Haskew, the high end acoustic upright bass and sensational comedy routine by original Trio bassist Jim Shuptrine, the solid bottom of Bob Wilkerson on electric bass, the versatile Don Cassell on mandolin chops and solo breaks- and most importantly, the almost unbelievable dobro playing of Lou Wamp, nicknamed the "wizard of string" who is recognized as one of the top 3 dobro players in the world alongside the great Jerry Douglas and Rob Ickes. Lou also plays in his multi-talented unique style on violin/fiddle and cello in this incredibly varied musical experience. Adding to this great lineup as Guest Artist is the GREAT nationally known singer/songwriter ...
