Raw Music Review

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

5 stars One man, one guitar, 14 incredible songs!
Famous Canadian ska artist and song-writer Chris Murray delivers big with just the use of his vocals and an acoustic guitar in this 14-track album. Although the sound quality could have been better, it's home-made simplicity gives it all a more genuine, relaxing feel of an artist going back to his roots and able to capture your attention with his talent. Admittedly the choruses are a bit repetitve, especially in the song "We Do the Ska"...where the phrase is repeated way too many times. But songs like "Rasta Man" "Home" and the sing-along "Rocksteady" will make you wanna grab ur guitar and ska it up along with him. This is a must for any ska/reggae lover, or aspiring ska-musicians, since listening closely to the guitar one can pick up the technique and different strums involved. This album shows that all you need is passion for the music and a guitar to make sweet-sounding ska and reggae. Oi!

The pun in the title gives the album's conceit away: This is, in fact, a dub-influenced take on Pink Floyd's classic DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. But while the idea may be groan-inducing, the results are actually quite appealing. ...

THOSE WERE THE DAYS is a four-disc set, the first half consisting of Cream's entire studio output and the last half featuring the band's concert performances. The package includes a 48-page booklet full of previously unpublished photos. In the two years they were together, Cream's blend of blues, psychedelic rock and quirky lyricism forever altered the definition of rock music. After releasing four seminal albums, Cream broke up as quickly as they had come together, with all three members going on to solo careers of varying artistic and commercial success. THOSE WERE THE DAYS brings together Cream's musical output in a deluxe four-CD set that's neatly halved between studio and live material. Meticulously compiled and remastered, ...

Raw CD music

Once in a while a musician comes along with impeccable technique, deep understanding of the jazz repertoire, an innate tendency to swing and the rare ability to communicate the heart and soul of a tune to listeners. That musician is Beegie Adair.About her music Adair says, Ă˘â‚ŹĹ“Falling in love with jazz is like falling in love with a person, except with jazz you never get over it.Ă˘â‚ŹÂ About Beegie (say B-G) Adair, what do others say?Jazz great Helen Merrill salutes her Ă˘â‚ŹĹ“inventive jazz sense, her wonderful sense of time and improvised melody.Ă˘â‚ŹÂChristopher Louden of Jazz Times magazine says Adair is Ă˘â‚ŹĹ“an accomplished artist with a delicate touch.Ă˘â‚ŹÂThe Los Angeles Times calls her music Ă˘â‚ŹĹ“Elegant.Ă˘â‚ŹÂEntertainment News writes, Ă˘â‚ŹĹ“Beegie Adair is one of the finest piano players in the world.Ă˘â‚ŹÂIntrigued? So are thousands of jazz fans, who agree with critics about AdairĂ˘â‚Źâ„˘s sophisticated and listenable jazz performances, and who have made her recordings among the biggest sellers in the jazz world.Citing George Shearing, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and Erroll Garner among her influences, Adair has recorded 24 CDs, ranging from Cole Porter standards to Frank Sinatra classics to romantic World War II ballads. Her 6-CD Centennial Composers Collection of tunes by Rodgers, Gershwin, Kern, Ellington, Carmichael and Berlin became an instant collectible classic when it was released in 2002. Kentucky born and raised, Adair lives and records in Nashville Ă˘â‚Ź“ something of a surprise to people who associate the city solely with country music. In fact Nashville lives up to its Ă˘â‚ŹĹ“Music CityĂ˘â‚ŹÂ nickname by hosting a vibrant jazz scene, in which she has been a leading light for decades. A sought-after studio musician in her early days there, Adair accompanied such legendary performers as Chet Atkins, Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash Ă˘â‚Ź“ and also worked with Lucille Ball, Dinah Shore, Mama Cass Elliott and Peggy Lee.Her guests on Improvised Thoughts, BeegieĂ˘â‚Źâ„˘s radio talk/music show on the local NPR affiliate, included such greats as Tony Bennett, Joe Williams, Marian McPartland, Benny Golson and Helen Merrill. She has guested on McPartlandĂ˘â‚Źâ„˘s Piano Jazz show and has performed with Nat Adderley, Bill Watrous, Lew Tabackin, Terry Clarke, Urbie Green and Jim Ferguson, among many others.When sheĂ˘â‚Źâ„˘s not in the studio or appearing in clubs and concert halls around the country, Adair wears a variety of hats, from adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University to teacher and mentor at the Nashville Jazz Workshop. Recently she co-wrote and scored an innovative theatrical production, Betsy, which in April 2006 premiered off-Broadway in New York.She has recorded eight projects for Village Square Records in Nashville; her most recent CDs are Sentimental Journey, a popular collection of World War II-era ...
