| | Fall Extricate CD Fall Discography of CDs
1990's EXTRICATE is among The Fall's most personal and least political albums. Recorded immediately after former Fall guitarist Brix Smith left both her husband, Mark E. Smith, and his band, EXTRICATE has little of the pop influence Brix had brought to the band during her six-year tenure. The reversion to The Fall's more abrasive pre-Brix sound is helped by the return of early Fall guitarist Martin Bramah to the fold. His distinctively scratchy guitar sound is one of the album's defining elements, the other being the near-obsessive venom Smith pours on his ex-wife, especially in the explosive opener "Sing! Harpy."
Elsewhere, the band enthusiastically tackles "Black Monk Theme Parts I and II" by the then-obscure '60s avant-garde band The Monks and works up a jagged wall of noise behind traditional Smith rants like "Arms Control Poseur" and "British People In Hot Weather." EXTRICATE is one of The Fall's finest efforts.

"You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released.
The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer Clifton James and a young Buddy Guy, who provide a stark, deliberate backdrop for Muddy's rich vocal and expressive bottleneck guitar work. The richness of Muddy's baritone is showcased effectively here, with more room than usual for his voice to resonate.
The low-key setting allows Muddy to explore a fuller dynamic range as well. From the romantic yearning of "Long Distance Call" to the fatalism of the chain gang song "My Captain," Muddy's voice expresses entire worlds of emotion with only subtle dynamic changes. On FOLK SINGER's more downhearted cuts, there's a doomy, ominous quality that rivals the deepest emotional journeys of John Lee Hooker. By scaling down, Muddy managed to make his songs, guitar and voice seem exponentially magnified. Though ...
| | Philipp Fankhauser Talk To Me CD (2004)
Extricate
$12.59
Talk To Me is the title of the latest album from Philipp Fankhauser, the highly regarded blues artist based in Thun, Switzerland, and his first for Memphis International Records. Fankhauser is well known to European audiences but he is also familiar to North Americans as a result of his role as guest vocalist with the band of the late blues great Johnny "Clyde" Copeland. While the bulk of Talk To Me is comprised of l Fankhauser originals it does include two Johnny Copeland compositions and Shemekia Copeland, Johnny's daughter and a renowned star in her own right, penned the liner notes. "Philipp will always be very special to the Copeland family; his music is special for just about everyone," she wrote.The album includes a version of "Members Only," a song that was an R&B hit for Bobby Bland in the 1980s and produced for Fankhauser by Dennis Walker (Robert Cray, B.B. King, Maria Muldaur) with an appearance by the Memphis Horns. Bobby Bland finally met Fankhauser in the '90s and expressed great admiration for the Swissman's interpretation of one of his signature songs.Downbeat's review of Talk To Me noted "Fankhauser doesn't sound the least bit like a visitor from Switzerland that unrealistically fancies himself a blues singer. He displays empathy for Johnny Copeland songs, and he dramatizes soul-blues originals without over extending ...

Garner ThomasMusic critics say... "His expert breath control left the ecstatic audience sighing in awe." "Tall and handsome with a charismatic style, Thomas completely mesmerized his audience when he performed a seldom, if ever seen feat, by performing a solo playing simultaneously on two saxophones." "The crowd gave him thunderous applause, coupled with shouts, whistles, and cheers." "The notes went on so long, and people loved it." "Thomas has an unusual talent, and I am predicting a bright future for him."Garner began his musical training in Petersburg, Virginia at the age of eight on piano. As he delved into his classical piano studies, his mother guided him toward learning how to play the saxophone. His father, an audiophile, exposed him to many classical and jazz recordings that influenced him from the time he was a toddler. By the time Garner was eighteen, he accumulated top marks in various musical competitions in Washington state. He performed on saxophone in numerous honor bands throughout the world.Eventually, Garner moved to Seattle, Washington where he began to compose original songs. He performed in clubs, concerts, ...
