| | China: Folk Music CD
China: Folk Music is a compilation of traditional Chinese folk songs. Standards like "Beautiful Girl" and "Sheperd Song" are included, as well as the epic "Capriccio of Sir Gada." Most new listeners will probably not recognize many of these songs, but this is a good collection of many classic cultural songs from China that would appeal to anyone interested in exploring Asian music. ~ Bradley Torreano China: Folk Music Songs | 1. | Shepherd Song |

China: Folk Music album
 $11.89   
This stately Iceland rock outfit took the alternative-music world by storm with its second album, AGAETIS BYRJUN--a haunting, eloquent, 76-minute instant classic. Frontman Jon Por Birgisson sings in a language he calls "Hopelandic" (a combination of Icelandic and his own angelic calling), over the lyrical ebb and flow of feedback-drenched guitar, gushing keyboards, gently driving bass, and drums that crash like the surf of an alien ocean. After a droning beginning, the curtains suddenly part with "Svefn-G-Englar," revealing a sound as wide open and exhilarating as Iceland's landscape. Later, ...

China: Folk Music album
$12.45  
GIL & JORGE pairs two of the most prominent figures associated with Brazil's late-'60s Tropicalia movement. Though Rio-based Jorge Ben focused primarily on fusions of samba and African music and steered clear of the overt political statements that led to Gilberto Gil's tangles with the Brazilian regime of the time, his propulsive guitar and easy vocals blend perfectly with the Bahia native's folk-rock ethos.
Essentially, this is a jam session par excellence; Gil and Ben face off with their voices and guitars and set the tape rolling. Entirely ...

SOUVENIRS is a compilation of songs from albums Vince Gill recorded for MCA between 1989 and 1992. It also features duets that originally appeared on albums by Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton, and a cover of the Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why," from the Eagles tribute album COMMON THREAD: THE SONGS OF THE EAGLES.
All songs written or co-written by Vince Gill except "The Heart Won't Lie" (Kim Carnes/Donna Terry Weiss), "I Can't Tell You Why" (Don Henley/Glenn Frey/Timothy B. Schmit) and "I Will Always Love You" (Dolly Parton).
SOUVENIRS covers the beginning of Vince Gill's tenure at MCA Records, which is to say, his golden years. After struggling commercially at RCA in the '80s, the former Pure Prairie League singer and session musician jumped to MCA in 1989. There, he started turning out perfect country-rock ballads, featuring his high-tenor voice and impeccable rootsy pop arrangements. And unlike the Nashville competition, Gill wrote his own songs and played much of his own lead guitar.
He welcomed himself to MCA by co-writing (with Tim DuBois) "When I Call Your Name," an ode to loneliness fashioned as an echo of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." It won the Country Music Association's Song Of The Year award in 1991, and it's included here alongside the next two Song Of The Year winners ("Look At Us" and "I Still Believe In You"), off Gill's two subsequent albums. The CMA has always favored Gill's ballads, but he can rock out when he gets the notion: A perky fiddle and blues-rock guitar make "Liza Jane" a real musician's treat.
Gill is an incurable romantic, pledging everlasting love to women who love him back and even those who've dumped him. The only note that rings less-than-true here is his gool-ol'-boy tribute, "One More Last Chance," which suggests he's been too busy boozing with the boys to take notice of women. You can bet that this is one All-American boy who'd do nothing of the sort.
Drawn largely from Vince Gill's first three albums for MCA Records, 1989's When I Call Your Name, 1991's Pocket Full of Gold, and 1992's I Still Believe in You, Souvenirs functions as a greatest-hits collection from what is arguably Gill's finest period as a solo artist. Gill's smooth tenor singing is practically the definition of modern slow-burning country sincerity, all done with a touch of that bluegrass "high lonesome" sound, and his ease with ballads frequently obscures the fact that he is one hell of a guitar player when he decides to be. Highlights on this easy to like set are duets with Reba McEntire ("The Heart Won't Lie") and Dolly Parton ("I ...

Trombonist/composer/arranger and bandleader Scott Whitfield has sung on a few of his earlier albums, but on this occasion he dives in head first, concentrating as much on vocals as his trombone playing. This session, which concentrates on songs popular in the 1930s and 1940s, has a strong cast of instrumentalists, including guests Bucky Pizzarelli, Marvin Stamm, Scott Robinson (heard on the rarely featured bass sax), plus Whitfield, his rhythm section and the Manhattan Vocal Project (the leader plus three instrumentalists, all of whom double on Four Freshmen-like harmony vocals). ...
