Dee Alexander was a part of the Chicago jazz scene for some time prior to this outing, working with the late Malachi Thompson and recording a pair of CDs as a leader. Alexander has a fluid voice, good chops, and a flair for expression, especially in Thompson's Latin-flavored cooker "Surrender Your Love." She is backed by a potent rhythm section with bassist Harrison Bankhead, drummer Leon Joyce, Jr., and either Miguel de la Cerna or Mike Logan at the piano. Alexander's dramatic interpretation of Dimitri Tiomkin's "Wild Is the Wind" and emotional treatment of Nina Simone's "Four Women" show her flair for drama. But some of the original material doesn't hold up as well. The late Henry Huff penned several interesting melodies, though his weak lyrics handicap the singer. Alexander's lyrics are no better, as on the repetitious tribute to Huff "C U on the Other Side," though Logan's catchy vamp proves interesting. This is a good CD that would have been more memorable with a judicious selection of material. ~ Ken Dryden

Drummer Mike Clark has run the gamut of grist-of-the-mill modern jazz and funk on a handful of recordings, best represented on his 1989 Stash CD, Give the Drummer Some. This album exceeds all his previous dates with regard to the vitality of this music, the high-level musicianship of all the players, and the fact that Clark happily wears his ...

Mark Erelli Hillbilly Pilgrim CD  (2004)

Wild Is The Wind CD music
CD $13.65  5 stars Audio Samples
Hillbilly Pilgrim is an accurate title from Western, MA, country-rock singer Mark Erelli as the fiddle on the opening track, "Brand New Baby," as well as the guitars on "Pretend" make the material fit for a hootenanny. There's no denying the musicianship, or heart, though the singer is still in search of an identity as it could be any decent band playing at said hootenanny. "A Bend in the River" is pleasant enough -- and is one of the disc's better tracks -- but musical neighbors the Swinging Steaks do this kind of country ballad with more authority, which is the problem with this disc. Vocal appearances by Kris Delmhorst and Mark Armerding on "Pilgrim Highway" as well as Erin McKeown on "Pretend" add something special to the album, though it is Erelli's statement all the way, and without sufficient wings to fly he sometimes falls. The self-indulgence on "Let's Make a Family" or Clarence Gibson's "Troubles" are cases in point. Here the artist inadvertently brings in the cringe factor. Sometimes too much sincerity can be just plain goofy. The sentiment in "My Best Was Just Not Good Enough" is your typical down-on-his-luck country lament, pleasant country & western executed well, but without the innovations a quirky tongue-in-cheek ensemble like Boston's Country Bumpkins always managed to add to the mix. Polly Matheson co-writes "Fool No. 1" with Mark and at times -- as on this track -- he comes off like a '30s male crooner from a big band fronting a pickup group at a square dance. "Pilgrim Highway," on the other hand, is a home run. Gospel/folk with a level of seriousness that delivers the goods. It's evidence that Erelli has what it takes, but has to dig a little deeper. ~ Joe Viglione Mark Erelli has always had a little Austin in his Boston blood. There's a clear pedigree of Americana-tinged folk on his self-titled debut (1999), Compass & Companion (2001), and even the New England-themed The Memorial Hall Recordings (2002). On his newest release, Hillbilly Pilgrim (co-produced with Lorne Entress), Erelli takes the dive he's always hinted at, unveiling an entire album of western swing originals. Back in the 30s and 40s, crowds flocked to dance halls to hear music that combined big-band jazz with country instrumentation. Though branded ...
