A consistently intriguing vocalist, Pyeng Threadgill is as much a folksinger as a jazz improviser. Influenced and inspired by Abbey Lincoln and to a lesser extent Sheila Jordan, Threadgill sings lyrics that she believes in, has no difficulty with complex melodies, and even contributes lyrics to Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz," scatting well on "Ambrosia." While she is accompanied by strong improvisers, the focus throughout is on the singer, whose haunting voice and unusual phrasing makes her memorable while not fitting snugly into any specific musical genre. ~ Scott Yanow
Living Blues (p.49) - "It's remarkable to hear such a young vocalist summon a timbre as deeply textured as Threadgill's; her intonation is virtually flawless." Pyeng Threadgill Of The Air Songs Of The Air Review

Of The Air
$10.35 
House Of Pain: Everlast, Danny Boy O'Connor (vocals); D.J. Lethal.
Additional personnel: Guru, Sadat X, Divine Styler, Cockni O'Dire (vocals).
Recorded at Ameraycan Studios, North Hollywood, California.
House Of Pain's third album is a murky, nightmarish soundscape that curls around the listener like a cloud of pot smoke. The minor-key synth chords and simple, bass-heavy beats provided by D.J. Lethal, and the rough, husky voices of Everlast and Danny Boy O'Connor paint a picture of grim urban desolation, as eerie as it is urgent. House Of Pain employs none of the tongue-twisting vocal gymnastics and erratic phrasing that are staples of modern hip-hop. Rather, Everlast and O'Connor come off like groovy stormtroopers, declaiming with a brutish immediacy and rhythmic simplicity that connect like a kidney punch.
Guests Guru ("Fed Up" remix) and Sadat X ("Heart Full Of Sorrow") expand the sonic horizons of TRUTH CRUSHED with their sinuous contributions, but the bottom line here is the unvarnished brutality of the streets. This is the world represented on the ominous "The Have Nots" and the uncompromising "Choose Your Poison." Miles away from the bounce and levity of House Of Pain's early work, TRUTH CRUSHED is a lethal dose of hard-core hip-hop that makes no concessions to commerciality.
House Of Pain: Everlast, Danny Boy O'Connor (vocals); D.J. Lethal.
