Guitarist/singer Ry Cooder is one of the original Americana/roots-rockers, and has been exploring the nooks and crannies of American music since the 1960s. I, FLATHEAD finds Cooder delving into blues, country, jazz, Western swing, and more. On some tracks, Cooder pays specific tribute to his musical heroes, name-checking pedal steel guitar legend Speedy West on "Steel Guitar Heaven," and serving up tunes named for Johnny Cash and Western swing sultan Spade Cooley. However traditional the setting, though, Cooder's raw, Captain Beefheart-like voice (he appeared on the Captain's first LP, SAFE AS MILK) keeps things agreeably quirky throughout the album.

Dirty Linen (p.86) - "A guest appearance by Mexican accordionist Flaco Jimenez on 'Filipino Dance Hall Girl' adds to the CD's Tex-Mex sound."

More Jack Than God is easily the finest studio recording the fabled bassist and singer/songwriter Jack Bruce has made since the 1970s. His outings with Kip Hanrahan and the Golden Palominos have afforded him the luxury of working with many of his collaborators this time out: Robert Ameen, Bernie Worrell, Horacio "El Negro" Hernández, Richie Flores, and most notably new guitarist Vernon Reid. Bruce's son Malcolm is also in the mix. Bruce's songwriting here is top notch. His elongated, ethereal, and funky groove as displayed on the album's opener "So They Invented Race" showcases all of his talents. It is a provocative song, riddled with Worrell's B3 and enough hand percussion to allow Bruce's bass to ride the top of the groove without seeming obtrusive. Reid jumps in on the Latin drenched "Follow the Fire," with its Carnival-esque hand percussion, Reid's restrained power chords, and Bruce's piano playing pushing the rhythm with a series of large chords that frame a melody driven by his bass. "Kelly's Blues" is positive proof that Bruce can write an expressionistic power ballad with the rest of them. His voice rings so pure and true here, writing every ounce of emotion from his lyrics. This band plays like one, not as a group of studio cats signed on for a mercenary project. They have empathy for one another and the mix is very warm and live sounding. And so it goes for the rest of the album of over 14 cuts with a vibe ...

Where can a song take you? If it's sung by Renee' Ross, it can lift you high above your circumstances and land you gently on solid ground. Renee is a gospel vocalist and songwriter, with national and international performances spanning four decades, but she doesn't just sing gospel music, she delivers the hope of gospel in a voice that is honey to the soul. Equally comfortable with jazz, spirituals, and both traditional and contemporary gospel, Renee takes a song and wraps it around her heart so when you hear her sing whether live or recorded - you know she is offering a message she earnestly believes can transform lives.Renee is a native of Pine Bluff, Arkansas who moved to Portland, Oregon in 1966 with her parents Fred (and the late) Vernedia Ross and two siblings Paulette Ross-West and (and the late)Arnita Ross and began singing in church ...
