Ruthie Foster Runaway Soul CD (2002)

Orpheus songs

$10.25

Dedicating one song to her late father who passed away in January 2002, Ruthie Foster's vocals mix gospel with a healthy helping of Texas blues in the vein of Bonnie Raitt or occasionally Melissa Etheridge. The mid-tempo opener, "Runaway Soul," is a solid beginning with harmonica and Hammond organ. Her softer side is also shown in some delightful harmonies. "Woke Up This Mornin'" has a Sunday church feeling, slowly building into a funky Southern track with a choir-like harmony. "Smalltown Blues" takes more of an acoustic slant, featuring mainly Foster and acoustic guitar dominating the tune. Foster rarely takes a wrong turn on the album, knowing her strengths and playing to them. "Home" ...

Orpheus album

$7.45

This is part of A&M Records "The Millenium Collection" series. This is hardly "the best of Fairport Convention," focusing as it does on a pretty slim slice of their career. All of these ten songs were done within about a year and a half of each other between 1968 and 1970. As it happens, this is the peak of their career, and the phase that saw them progress into interesting variations on folk-rock with each album, ...

Hanks Truth For Certain CD (2009)

THE TRUTH FOR CERTAINLarry Hanks & Mike MarkerReviewed by Deborah Robins 2003If there were ever a CD to take along on a road trip, “The Truth For Certain” would be it. Right from the start of the rollicking and bombastic, “Lonesome Cowboy’s Breakfast” written by Hank Bradley and Larry Hanks, the listener is poised for a wide variety of Americana highlighting the good, bad, and ugly of our culture.One of my favorite and lesser known Stephen Foster tunes, “The Glendy Burk” is kicked into high gear when Hanks joins in with his basso harmonies, the banjo’s jaunty spot-on fills, transport us to another era.Larry Penn’s “Maquiladoras” is an example of Hanks at his finest. He literally jumps rather than eases into this song which draws the listener into a bittersweet lament. In classic Hanks style, we can clearly discern and digest every word as it is delivered in real time, keeping us riveted in order to be a part of the big picture painted in nuanced strokes.Old fiddle tune, “Mississippi Sawyer and Westfork Gals” is an instrumental which features the neat banjo picking of Mike Marker, and the boisterous Jew’s Harp work of Larry Hanks.Uncle Dave Macon’s “I’m Going Back to Dixie” supplies a strong, straight-ahead rendition, with excellent and restrained harmonies by Marker. The trick bag of covering a well-known song like Leadbelly’s “Relax Your Mind” comes from the natural tendency to compare both renditions. And although one always wonders about the value of re-recording such chestnuts, it’s always fun to hear Leadbelly reinterpreted. Mike Marker’s lead vocals ease beautifully into this blues with a wail in his voice, which actually works well in such a laconic piece.A musical equivalent of the film, “My Man Godfrey”, “The Panic is On” is exactly the kind of song Larry Hanks selects again and again: funky to sing, fun to hear, and cloaked in musicality which nearly steals the thunder from the message. A song popularized by uber-Minstrel, Dan Emmett, “Jordan is a Hard Road to Travel”, is a good choice for Marker’s front porch delivery. The words are cute and clever, the banjo work propellant throughout. The album includes Mike Marker’s extensive liner notes giving some background on this song. For my money, Hanks and Marker’s ...
