 (1 Customer Review)
Subtitled "Apollo's Lady Blues Singers," this Delmark CD has nine numbers (three previously unissued) by Blue Lu Barker, five from Wea Bea Booze and four by Baby Dee. Barker was rather limited but ironically was easily the best-known singer of the three. She is assisted on some cuts (all outfitted by Danny Barker lyrics) by trumpeter Shad Collins and either Teddy McRae or Jerry Jerome on tenor and is at her best on the remake of her hit "Don't You Feel My Leg." Wea Bea Booze (joined by a quartet that includes tenorman George Kelly and organist Larry Johnson) and Baby Dee (backed by an unidentified but talented sextet) were actually stronger vocalists despite being long-forgotten, and are the main reasons to acquire this fine early R&B/jump music set. ~ Scott Yanow

Don't You Feel My Leg album

While the religious imagery of Losing Faith's title cut may seem a bit heavy for a country song, Audrey Auld's incisive lyrics cut a bit deeper than the average Nashville ballad. When the singer compares placing one's faith in a love interest with placing one's faith in Christ ("And feed me drops of water/And tell me it was wine"), it adds a new twist to relationship dependency. While this all may sound awfully serious, Auld wraps her lyrics in an energetic musical package that never forgets to entertain. There are also good-time songs like "Doin' Well," complete with old-time fiddle and the delicious line, "I say yeah, you can go to hell/I'm staying here, I'm doing well." As with her previous album, Auld, who hails from Australia, seems to know more about traditional country than post-'90s Nashville. There's still room in her musical vision for steel, dobro, and mandolin, and she even includes an old-fashioned duet with Fred Eaglesmith on "B-Grade Affair." Auld marries this love of country roots to a modern sensibility, writing smart songs that have something to say about life and relationships in 2003. Losing Faith ends pleasantly with "Harmony," a quiet duet with Kieran Kane, bringing a stimulating album to a satisfying conclusion. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

What do you get when you mix a father who is a Rhythm and Blues guitar player, a house that always had something soulful with a groove playing in the background, and a mother who taught her only child how to sing harmonies, sitting around the dinner table? Miles Roy-Rogers (a.k.a. Fundamental Sound) was born June 24, 1977 in Ashland Oregon, and literally took his first breath, then began singing and creating wicked grooves!Family friend and neighbor Todd Barton (Resident Composer for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival) would synthesize sounds and test them on young Miles to see what kind of emotional reaction they'd evoke; Scary, Fun, Sad, etc. This relationship with Todd developed into a full blown mentorship in High School, and continues to this day. Listening to the home grown samples on "Mirror of Time" leaves little doubt that Todd's synthesizers had a strong influence on Mile's work. Through Todd, Miles was introduced to Jeff Stolet (Philip H. Knight Professor of Music, and Director of Future Music Oregon) whose Future Music Oregon program associated with the Music Technology track of the University of Oregon School of Music, where Miles got his secondary education. While attending the U of O, Miles answered a flyer that a band put out looking for a Reggae Keyboardist. Band Leader Bibs Goff (More Time), a staple of the Oregon reggae community, took Miles under his wing. With the expert guidance of Bibs, Miles learned how to sit deep in the pocket of a reggae groove. Pushing the Bubble, Piano bang, and lead lines for More Time, Miles came into contact with many of Reggae Music's Forefathers. Opening for bands like the Wailers (Bob Marley's Band), Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals, The Abyssinians, Culture, Pato ...
