| | Paul Brill New Pagan Love Song CD Paul Brill Discography of CDs
NYC native Paul Brill first chipped his musical teeth on the icy landscape of North-Central Vermont. After a few light-deprived winters, Paul hitched his wagon to the California Gold Rush, where he dabbled in brief stints as an herbal smokes salesman, valet, corporate errand boy, and marine biology instructor, among other glamorous endeavors. It was during this time that Paul began pursuing music in earnest, performing extensively across the U.S. Upon his return to NY, Paul worked at a small school in East Harlem, where he continues to volunteer when in town.New Pagan Love Song is at once a look back and a lurch forward. Its twelve songs tell tales of weary souls, days wasted, and the dusty road home. Recorded during the longest winter in recent memory, New Pagan Love Song features Brill's longing voice and celebrated lyric. His songs are carried upon the driving rhythms of percussionist Joe Bonadio and fuse Brill's distinctive instrumentation with found sounds, samples, and bent beats. NPLS bridges fans of the new and old by honing in on what is essential in American music and forging an idiosyncratic yet welcoming sound."Melancholic anthems for the weary and down and out...Brill's defining moment."

Archer Prewitt's fourth full-length solo album, WILDERNESS, is a culmination of the orchestral-pop ambitions strongly hinted at in his previous releases--THREE, WHITE SKY, and IN THE SUN. Long, languid pieces like "O, KY" and "Judy, Judy" twist and turn through successive movements and tempos, while Prewitt's way with an evocative lyric and a hummable tune is undiminished.
Prewitt conjures memories of ex-Zombies lead singer Colin Blunstone's solo albums on the caustic "Cheap Rhyme" and the magnificent title ...

New Pagan Love Song
$12.69
60 miles east of Los Angeles where the urban sprawl finally starts to thin out and the desert starts to take over sits the old railroad town of San Bernardino. In 1978 when Rick Shea was growing up there, dozens of honky-tonks and truck stop bars still lined the outskirts, tough places where the remnants of California's golden age of country music still drifted through like the hot winds. "I started playing folk and coffeehouse gigs after high school and I sort of fell into the country music scene. As a sideman and a singer I worked six or seven nights a week. It was rough sometimes but a good education. That's where I first heard a lot of those old songs - a lot of Merle Haggard and a lot of George Jones."Shea has managed to parlay that tough but real education into a successful career as a solo artist, with five critically acclaimed albums and appearances at the Strawberry Festival, the Tucson Folk Festival, the Canmore Folk Festival, the Freight and Salvage, McCabe's Guitar Shop and many of the other folk, rock and acoustic venues in California and the West. "Staunchly independent...represents the best of California music," -Jonny Whiteside/LA Weekly. Shea's voice is smooth and bittersweet and his guitar playing goes from subtle on the ballads to blazing through the rockers. His songs are almost cinematic in their scope and embrace everything ...

| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
New Pagan Love Song
$6.75 
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer ...
