| | Sarah Hays Water CD Sarah Hays Discography of CDs
"The title track of Sarah Hays’ solo debut Water seems a bit prophetic right now: “Water, where's the water / Flooding in the lowlands / And dry up on the hill...” But instead of approaching looming environmental disaster with literal or preachy lyrics, she employs subtle imagery to make her point: “We thought it was lovely when the sun was beating down / But I can hear that bunny scratching at the ground.” Other standouts include the piano-poppy “Drop Me a Line,” the banjo stomper “Tricky” and the mournful “Anyhow,” which bathes Hays’ airy, angelic voice in a Lanois-esque fog of echoey baritone guitar and vibraphone. The disc was produced by Ken Coomer (former drummer for Uncle Tupelo and Wilco), and his spacious, rootsy arrangements spotlight Hays’ vocals without overwhelming them." - Jack Silverman, Nashville Scene Critic's Pick, June 2008 Sarah Hays was raised in North Carolina. She played piano, violin, flute, and guitar, but it was the piano, guitar and vocals that stuck. She lived in New York and Los Angeles for several years before settling in Nashville in 2007. In L.A., she was a member of The Cash Diners, a vocal duo and writing team that took her to Nashville to record their first record. After finishing the record, the band discovered the devastating news that their producer had disappeared with all of the money allotted for musicians, studios, mastering, etc... The Cash Diners was irreparably wounded, but the partnerships and musical inspiration she found in Nashville were undeniable.Her first solo record, Water, was produced by drummer/producer Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Clockhammer, and Swag) and mixed by Charlie Brocco (engineer for George Harrison, B.B. King, Fleetwood Mac, and Patty Griffin among others). She also had the enormous pleasure of getting Charlie Cushman to play her great-grandfather's banjo (circa 1915) which she recently inherited from her Grandmother, and she is plucking away at it now herself.Check out Drink Your Wine, Anyhow, Lately or any of the other songs listed here to see the range of her writing and the raw emotion in her vocals. She is currently working on her next record and playing shows in and around Nashville.

Purchase Water CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Water album
 $6.75    
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't ...
| | Eric Clapton E.C. Was Here CD (1975) Remastered
Water CD music
$6.49  
On the original LP, the song "Drifting Blues" faded out after about 3 minutes. The CD contains the complete 11:31 version.
Released in the same year as 1975's THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD, E.C. WAS HERE is a live album short on content but long in presentation. Backed by his usual mid-70's studio cohorts (George Terry, Jamie Oldaker, Yvonne Elliman, Marcy Levy, etc.), Clapton ignored his then-current material off CROWD and 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD, instead choosing to explore his immediate, post-Cream era along with some extended, old favorites. "Presence Of The Lord" and "Can't ...

Water songs

Legendary delta bluesman Son House spoke about a passion for his music and was quoted as saying "I'm talkin’ 'bout the blues. . . I ain't talkin' 'bout monkey junk!" MonkeyJunk is a band that draws heavily on the legends of the blues and translates that influence into a contemporary blend of swamp R&B, soul boogie and bedroom funk. This triple threat trio comprised of Steve Marriner, Tony D and Matt Sobb draws on over 56 years of combined experience playing blues live and in studio . . . and it shows.In the fall of 2008, MonkeyJunk was nominated for a Maple Blues Award for best new artist - a rare feat only having been in exsistence for 6 months and not having released a record yet . . . In February 2009, MonkeyJunk represented Ottawa, Canada at The International Blues Challenge held in Memphis, TN competing amongst 100 bands from Poland, Croatia, Norway, Italy, Israel, Sweden, France, Australia ...

Water songs
$13.49
The fact that Darrell Nulisch was nominated for a W.C. Handy Award does mean something in the blues world. Times Like These does make a person wonder why, though. While it's true that Nulisch's voice is deeply expressive and rings loud and clear in the way Joe Turner's did -- albeit much smoother in delivery -- and he's a more than adequate harp player, the material here is generic at best. This record, with its tightly arranged and conducted horn charts, muted, stylistic B-3, rounded-off lead guitar solos, and in-the-pocket drums, sounds exactly like what it is for the most part: a blues record made in New England. What passes for guttural blues here is played a bit sloppier by your local bar band. But blues isn't the only thing that Nulisch tackles here, thank goodness. It's his soul tunes, both his originals and his cover of Smokey Robinson's "Don't Look Back." Here is where Nulisch shows his gift as a singer; he moves just behind the beat, pronouncing every syllable with a smoothness that is reminiscent of Bobby "Blue" Bland and a passion that James Carr would be proud of. His reading of the Ashford & Simpson nugget "Running Out" is vocally honest and true, but the band is stilted and wooden -- had he a better backing unit, this would have been the best track on the album. His back-to-back interpretations of Ray Charles' "I Found Love" and Otis Redding's "That's a Good Idea" are emotionally true, deep-in-the-belly-of-fire readings. Even the horns come through ...

EVER BEEN IN LOVE? VEGAS 1965The 60s were perhaps the most desirable time to live in Vegas. The music was beautiful...the songs actually had a melody and the words had a story line to them. A Star was a STAR. Think Bennett, Torme, and Ms. Cleo Lane. Canadian artist Karina Zorn knows how to sing and musically transport you to a place that no longer exists - a place where a closed-eyed listener can relate, relive and visit for a while.Karina's debut CD Through These Eyes is a repertoire of Jazz influenced songs that challenge and absorb her, and that also have their own longevity. The songs are the story, and she, the exquisite storyteller that she is, completes each word alluringly touching the sensory system of the unsuspecting listenerBorn in Ottawa, Karina inherited her voice from her Austrian opera-singing aunt, further developing skills with childhood piano and vocal training and eventually coaching with Judy Davis in Oakland California, renowned vocal coach to Barbara Streisand Tony Bennett Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra. Karina has performed in Japan, the USA, France, Canada, the UK and Austria and possesses the ability to perform in English, French and German. She has sung at numerous European music festivals, special performance for the Austrian ambassador as well as a command performance for the Prince of Wales and ...
