Cubanismo Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Cubanismo Pre Buena Vista
Check this out for an urban sound, Jesus Alemany is is a fine player. The producer told me he was inspired to make the record by the "Latin Meets Jazz" shows at the Village Vanguard in the 1980s. It was released in 1996 before the Buena Vista Social Club appeared. The producer also explained the emphasis is on the instrumentalists and the solos, not on the vocals. There were a series of four Cubanismo recordings released plus a Best of. Also recommended: Mardi Gras Mambo.

The Harry Smith-compiled three-volume Anthology of American Folk Music set, originally released in the 1950s and reissued to much brouhaha in 1997, was one of the most important records in launching the folk revival. It was not well known, though, that Smith compiled a fourth volume that was unissued. Revenant finally put it out in 2000, and like its three predecessors, it contains classic pre-World War II American country, blues, and folk music, with some gospel and Cajun too. It does differ from the first three volumes in its focus on a slightly later period, with all the tracks culled from the years 1928-1940. Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Joe Williams, Bukka White, Memphis Minnie, and John Estes are all major blues artists; the Monroe Brothers, the Carter Family, Uncle Dave Macon, and the Blue Sky Boys all giant country/bluegrass pioneers; and the Hackberry Ramblers are one ...

Todd Hoke Turning Of The Wheel CD (2003)

Cubanismo

$14.79
Todd Hoke's latest CD, "The Turning of the Wheel", features a fresh batch of songs that stretch across a wide range of moods, sounds, and topics. There's a toe-tapping grin for spring's arrival and a slump-shouldered sigh as autumn fades into winter. There's a leisurely stroll down Main Street in Mayberry (attention Andy Griffith Show fans) and a brassy sashay down barlined 6th Street in Austin, Texas. There's a piano lounge jumper for love of a "genuine" woman and a back alley howl for a gambler on his way down. There's even a sing along on Townes Van Zandt's "Heavenly Houseboat Blues." With tasteful arrangements and polished production, this is a recording that will stay in your CD player for some time.Here's a rundown of the talented folks you'll hear on "The Turning of the Wheel" (and what you'll hear them doing): Christine Albert (harmony vocals), Michael Austin (clarinet), Richard Brock (harmonica), Glenn Fukunaga (bass), Chris Gage (acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards, and harmony vocals), Ron Knuth (fiddle), Marty Muse (pedal steel), Paul Pearcy (drums and percussive gadgets), Tom Pittman (banjo), Kym Warner (mandolin), Wendy Wentworth (lead whistler). Chris Gage engineered and mixed the CD at Moonhouse Studios with Todd lending a hand as co-producer. Says Todd: "All the folks involved really put forth their best efforts - I'm mighty proud of this CD and hope everyone enjoys it."Here is an excerpt from a review Lyman Grant wrote for the webzine, damnintellectuals.com: "...But there is more than shock and awe in this state. Some of us survive by singing our own local kind of blues, a Texas version of the singer-songwriter tradition. Famously, this tradition has produced a great number of artists. Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith, Iris DeMent, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Townes Van Zandt and scores of others have somehow created something palliative and uplifting from whiskey, broken hearts, horses, beer, ancestors, highways, tomatoes, fishing, tequila, front porches, sunsets, and dogs. Todd Hoke's music grows from this rich tradition. In 2000 he released his first CD, "Headed West on 10," produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard. He has just released his second, "The Turning of the Wheel," produced by Chris Gage. The producers have certainly left their individual marks on the two disks. Comparing them we can hear how Gage has relocated Hoke's songs from Hubbard's open-country campfires to jaunty, swagger-filled roadhouses. Gage strips away the mandolins and dobros of "Headed West on 10," and adds piano, steel and electric guitars, and drums. Nor should I forget to mention Christine Albert's witty background vocals.The CD's first notes from the first song, "Spring Days," foretell the contents of the following eleven songs-a fiddle spritely leading a two-step, joined by bass, guitar, harmonica and a barroom piano. Hoke rolls out a cast of characters-Maggie, ...
