| | Michael J Miles Counterpoint CD Michael J Miles Discography of CDs
This was Miles debut recording in 1990 that sparked a new world of banjo sound. Pete Seeger couldn't believe his ears. Miles took traditional melodies, wrote a counterpoint harmony line for a second banjo (that he played) and put these banjo duets in musical settings that include marimba, piano accordian, jazz flute, fiddle, mandolin, double bass and more."One of the most beautiful recordings I've heard in all my 70 years. This is enough to make me want to learn the banjo all over again."PETE SEEGER"One of America's top ten clawhammer banjo players."BANJO NEWSLETTER READER'S SURVEY Michael J Miles Counterpoint Songs | 1. | Whiskey Before Breakfast |

Purchase Counterpoint CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Arlo Guthrie Alice's Restaurant CD (1967)
Counterpoint album
 $8.55    
This 30th Anniversary Edition is a re-recording of Arlo Guthrie's 1st album.
A product of the hippie/protest movement of the mid-'60s, Arlo Guthrie, son of perennial folk icon Woody Guthrie, found himself with not so much a hit as a whole movement on his hands with the eponymous 18-minute saga of his arrest for littering and its deleterious effect on his chances of being selected for active duty in the Vietnam War. "Alice's Restaurant" may have lost some of its counter-culture appeal over the years, but its story of blinkered officialdom is as relevant today as it was when it was first performed.
Though few of the other cuts match it in terms of sheer hummability, ALICE'S RESTAURANT contains several understated high points, notably "Highway in the Wind" and "I'm Going Home," both fine examples of mid-'60s folk pop. "The Motorcycle Song" is another instance of Guthrie's talent for constructing almost childishly simple yet fiendishly catchy ...
| | Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago CD (2008)
Counterpoint CD music
$12.25 
Recorded in a cabin in Northern Wisconsin in the dead of winter in long sessions intermittently broken up for the chopping and gathering of firewood, FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO is the impressive debut release from Bon Iver aka Justin Vernon. With warmly recorded acoustic guitars and double-tracked vocals, FOR EMMA sounds like vintage Elliot Smith playing in the Pink Mountaintops. Vernon's voice--alone worth the sticker price--is captivating and multifaceted, as it morphs from wavering falsettos to ...

| | Levon Helm Dirt Farmer CD (2007)
Counterpoint songs
$13.89
Though the Band are often discussed in terms of their contributions to musical Americana, drummer Levon Helm was in fact the only American-born member of the group, and his Dixie-fried, high lonesome lilt was one of the keys to their proto alt-country sound. On his 2007 solo release, DIRT FARMER, Helm returns to his roots and indulges in ...
| | Beautiful People: The Greatest Hits Of Melanie CD (1999)
Counterpoint album

| | Nadja Desire In Uneasiness CD (2008)
Counterpoint album
$11.85
The cult success of drone-metal outfits such as Sunn 0))) and Khanate brought with it a glut of similarly sludgy and droning albums by other likeminded bands, to the point that it now takes something special for a new release in this genre to stand out. Nadja's Desire in Uneasiness does that, though, by combining the low-end sludge side of things with a more diverse range of outside influences. The lineup here is two bass guitars and, for the first time on one of the group's albums, a live drummer instead of a drum machine. These instruments are often fuzzed-out or otherwise altered (to the point that the drums sometimes sound like a distorted drum machine), and they're often cloaked in layers of electronics and synths that give the music a hazy, mysterious quality. The tracks all segue together on this album, with the slow-motion opener, "Disambiguation," ...

By playing as much as is humanly possible. Though enlisting in music school for a short stint 5 years ago, Jesse found the rigors and regimentation of school were not his path. Songwriting has always been at the forefront of ...
