| | Putumayo Presents Kermit Ruffins CD Kermit Ruffins Discography of CDs
The majority of releases by the world music label Putumayo have been various-artist compilations dedicated to highlighting a particular culture through their indigenous music. On this compilation, Putumayo adjusts that format, spotlighting a singular artist: New Orleans' vocalist and trumpeter Kermit Ruffins. Pulling from his seven previous albums on the Justice and Basin Street labels, Putumayo is hoping to bring Ruffins' classic Crescent City jazz style to a wider audience, with his mix of the joyous nature associated with Louis Armstrong and second line celebrating . The 11 tracks combine traditional fare such as "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Bye and Bye" and "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" with contemporary Ruffins' originals: "Kermit's Second Line," "Goodnight," "Do the Fat Tuesday," and "Leshianne." When listening to Kermit Ruffins, it becomes apparent that it doesn't have to be Mardi Gras to enjoy the spirited music of the Big Easy. ~ Al Campbell

Putumayo Presents Kermit Ruffins album
 $6.39    
With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz.
Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic ...

Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places ...

$13.39
It only takes a cursory look at the titles of the songs on Hard Times in the Country to get a clear picture of life in the rural South between 1927-1938. The Lee Brothers Trio bemoan a workingman's fate in "Cotton Mill Blues," while Blind Alfred Reed sounds nearly hopeless in "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Hard Times and Live." As Bill Malone writes in the liner notes, farmers in the south had experienced hard times before the Great Depression. Following the Civil War, America began to evolve into a country of urban centers and small farmers became sharecroppers or tenets. Despite the downbeat subject matter, Hard Times in the Country is -- musically speaking -- an enjoyable collection. Fiddle, guitar, and banjo accompany Kelly Harrell's vocal on the catchy "My Name Is John Johanna," while bright, bouncy banjo bolsters Uncle Dave Macon's lively "Wreck of the Tennessee Gravy Train." Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster deliver "Bay Rum Blues," which sounds like a stripped-down version of a jug band song, and Lowe Stokes offers his unadorned opinion in "Prohibition Is a Failure." Besides providing a musical document of the rural south, the songs on this collection also offer an interesting juxtaposition to trends in country music (the 1990s ...
