SPIRIT OF THE CENTURY won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album.
The appropriately titled SPIRIT OF THE CENTURY finds the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama drawing on their decades-long gospel legacy while keeping one eye firmly on the present. "Amazing Grace," "Nobody's Fault But Mine," and "Motherless Child" are here, among other entries from the Blind Boys' classic repertoire, but the group also tackles tunes by Tom Waits, Ben Harper, and the Rolling Stones. Tying it all together, of course, is the Boys' incomparable harmonies and down-home gospel fervor.
Recorded at Capitol Studio B, Los Angeles, California between March 21 & 24.
Blind Boys Of Alabama: Clarence Fountain, Jimmy Carter, George Scott, Joey Williams (vocals).Rolling Stone (9/27/01, p.70) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Summons the evangelical spirit of a crusade in progress, capturing the feeling not just of the revival tent but of the dark, human swampland lurking beyond it..." Entertainment Weekly (4/27/01, p.119) - "...With an estimable backing band...and fetching covers...these gospel elders have found the fountain of youth..." - Rating: A- Q (5/01, p.103) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Their first attempt at recording modern gospel-inspired material succeeds admirably....powerful enough to give Karl Marx religion..." CMJ (4/23/01, p.10) - "...There's always risk in taking such purity and adding outside elements, but the Blind Boys are the stars here...withtheir guests adding tasteful touches of blues and soul..." Vibe (6/01, p.158) - 4 discs out of 5 - "With their gravelly, tight-knit gospel harmonizing and raw, gutbucket soul, [they] make cats liek Sisqo and K-Ci sound like vocal pip-sqeaks....It maikes you want to holla and scream, hallelujah!" Mojo (Publisher) (5/01, p.112) - "...Refreshingly accessible, fitted out as it is with instrumental settings...that re both piquant and ingenious....an affecting album."

Spirit Of The Century album
$18.05 Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and context for his more well-known Savoy material, and indeed for everything this amazing person accomplished during the second half of the 20th century. Otis' first act as a recording bandleader was to borrow Jimmy Rushing from Count Basie! Rushing sounds right at home with this group, which included tenor ...
| | Steve Earle Jerusalem CD (2002)
Spirit Of The Century CD music
$14.29 JERUSALEM was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
For a singer-songwriter who proclaims himself "somewhat to the left of Mao" it's no surprise that Steve Earle has drawn the ire of the right for challenging the status quo, particularly around the one-year anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks. The bone of conention on his 2002 outing JERUSALEM is "John Walker's Blues," a moody, mid-tempo number that attempts to explore the reasoning behind "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh's actions. It triggered a wave of knee-jerk reactions accusing Earle of being everything from the second coming of Hanoi Jane to a washed-up anti-American opportunist.
Conservatives will likewise scoff at his trenchant commentaries on illegal immigration (the Augie Meyers-flavored Tex-Mex shuffle "What's A Simple Man To Do") and the transformation of baby boomers from idealistic revolutionaries ...
| | Lucinda Williams World Without Tears CD (2003)
Spirit Of The Century music CDs
$11.99 WORLD WITHOUT TEARS was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Righteously" was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
Though it's ultimately a less balladic, more stylistically varied album than its dreamy predecessor ESSENCE, WORLD WITHOUT TEARS starts out with a slow-burning, reverb-drenched ballad, but then takes a sharp turn into sensual lyricism, pounding drums, and churning guitar on "Righteously." For some time, the dominant topic of Lucinda Williams albums has been the edgy appeal of dangerous, often doomed men, and true to form there are plenty of those on WORLD WITHOUT TEARS. Witness the tragic anti-hero of "Real Live Bleeding Fingers and Broken Guitar Strings," the troubled guy with the "sexy crooked teeth" in "Overtime," or the psychologically damaged character whose ...
| | Neil Young On The Beach CD (1974) Remastered
Spirit Of The Century songs
$8.99 After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It is good to hear Young back with such bite and vitriol, especially after the broken desperation of TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. But while ON THE BEACH is edgy and deeply felt, it also manages to sound liberating and relaxed, with glimmers of hope and humor peeking through the spare, evocative arrangements. ...
