Grayson Capps - Wail & Ride (2006)
mp3 VBR~192kpbs | 55MB | 40:55 min.
| Quote: | For those who've been living under a rock, don't go to movies, or don't read books, it suffices to say that Grayson Capps is a songwriter recently departed form New Orleans, just as many of musicians were after Katrina. He was in a film and wrote four songs for the film A Love Song for Bobby Long. The film was made from a screenplay taken from Capps' father's then-unpublished novel about desperate but visionary people who live hard lives, are seized by hard times, and seek redemption. Capps is 39-years-old in 2006, but has the wizened, road-weary face of a wandering troubadour from the Dustbowl or of those who left the Deep South in the 1940s seeking work in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, and other Northern climes. Wail & Ride is his second solo album and it's full of blood and spit and raw, raw, heavy soul. As a songwriter, Capps is steeped in the Southern music tradition. His press kit has all kinds of stuff in about J.J. Cale, Ry Cooder, and Townes Van Zandt. Nah -- don't you believe it. You can hear Tony Joe White in there for sure, you can hear, perhaps, a spirit similar to that of the North Mississippi Allstars, or some of the crazies who've recorded on Fat Possum like R.L. Burnside and David Malone, or the desperation of recently departed ghosts of Chris Whitley and the Gun Club's Jeffrey Lee Pierce. You can also hear the raucous blues that comes out of the bars at night and in the little courts and galleries of what used to be New Orleans. Capps has rhythm and time; he's always in the pocket. He can moan and call down thunder or fire, and he can whisper like a man reaching out for the first and last time to someone or something he's only just now understood and hoping it's not too late. He calls himself an actor, but he's really a channeler. He digs into the spirit of things in order to report on the parts of them that people can't readily see, whether that's in the complications of a human heart, the interactions between lovers who can't seem to get it right, or reportage from the gutter on the side of the street where some poor soul is lying face down and can't get up. There are lots of images in these rough and tumble songs. Forget that Americana crap. Capps is not an observer, he's a participant. He's too gritty to really be American Gothic, but he has no idea what year it is, either.
Grayson Capps plays a very strange and particular kind of weird country and blues music. It encompasses many American styles, whether he can name them or not. There are nasty acoustic guitars that delve into country when it was country & western, touch on the old modal blues, and then spit out some honky tonk, funky soul, and rock & roll -- all underneath a singer who keeps going on and on about all these people who are busted up, brokenhearted, lost, abandoned, who refuse to accept the hand that's been dealt them, always holding out for one tiny glimmer -- like he's using his one last dime in the hope that this time, the girl down at the end of the bar will notice him. You already know how the story ends, but that hardly matters. "Daddy's Eyes" has the kind of sorrow that only someone who has lost something can hold close, and his observations about the Mason-Dixon line are curious. Trina Shoemaker's backing vocals underscore the tenderness in the tune "Give It to Me," it's a pumped up, funky and twisted love song to a whore, complete with tinkling upright piano and skittering snares and cymbals -- at least until the electric guitars make it a rocker. "New Orleans Waltz" is a bit clumsy lyrically, too full of images and longing and heartbreak about wanting something that is the living proof that nothing lasts forever. But then, having made his home on S. Front Street (literally) for 20 years and losing it to Katrina, he's got a right to be busted up about it, doesn't he? Take the title track and the story it tells of desperation played out between two people to the accompaniment of a Wurlitzer and a pair of guitars on the chooglin blues tip (Guthrie Trapp is a badass picker), and the slippery drums and percussion that carry that beat all the way home. "Poison" is a song that Commander Cody would kill to have written and Dr. John should cover if he ever gets hungry for his music again. "Broomy" is an off-kilter country blues with some other stuff tossed in. It's got a lyric that turns the heart into an open sore that aches dully and pumps new blood into a cynic's sawdust-filled veins. But the last two tracks, "Cry Me One Tear," and "Waterhole Branch," are worth the price of thew whole album -- the latter could have been used in the film Jesus' Son. Wail & Ride is a winner. Old Joel Dorn and his Hyena label have some new tricks up their sleeve, but this guy is the jewel hidden in the coal. |

Keziah Jones - Nigerian Wood (2008)
mp3 320kpbs | 203MB | 100:37 min.
limited edition with 10 unreleased tracks bonus CD
| Quote: | Keziah Jones (born Olufemi Sanyaolu on January 10, 1968 in Lagos, Nigeria) is a singer-songwriter and guitarist. He describes his musical style as “Blufunk”, which is a fusion between raw blues elements and hard, edgy funk rhythms. Also his African roots and soul music can be considered a major influence on his sound.
He is known for his distinctive style of guitarplaying, above all his percussive right-hand technique which is similar to bass player's slapping technique. He's also famous for playing most of his live shows with a bare torso. <Wikipedia> |
| Quote: | Biography
A Nigerian-born rocker heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Fela Kuti, Keziah Jones gained popularity in England and France with singles like "Rhythm Is Love" and "Beautiful Emile." Jones was sent to a boarding school in London when he was eight, and he started busking in the London Underground when he was in his teens. He gigged up a storm in Covent Garden and Portobello Road, which led to his discovery by manager Phil Pickett. One bassist (Phil "Soul" Sewell), one drummer (Richie Stevens), and many gigs later, Jones found himself with his first album, Blufunk Is a Fact!, in 1992. Several more albums ensued over the next 15 years (African Space Craft, Liquid Sunshine, and Black Orpheus among them), fixing Jones as one of the more prominent blues-rock musicians on the European music scene in the late '90s and early 2000s. |

Trent Wagler & Jay Lapp - Adrienna Valentine (2008)
320kpbs | 109MB | 49:10 min.
| Quote: | Americana singer-songwriter Trent Wagler and Indiana-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Jay Lapp announce the release of a new album of neo-traditional old-time and original roots music, entitled Adrienna Valentine. This collection of 14 addictive, SPAMising, satisfying songs is the third in Wagler’s growing catalog of albums, which includes Journal of a Barefoot Soldier (2005) and Blue Heaven (2006), all recorded by Lapp’s Dojo Records.
Adrienna Valentine is a true duet project, with Wagler’s considerable songwriting skills and Lapp’s versatile musicianship combining in a powerful album that invests new energy in old-time tunes and reintroduces Wagler’s roots-referential lyricism acclaimed by reviewers, fans and fellow artists alike. Upon hearing the title track to this album, “Adrienna Valentine,” Over the Rhine’s Linford Detweiler said, “That’s a perfect song,” and asked if it was recorded yet. The ballad is accompanied on the album by 10 other originals, which maintain intensity and heart through stories of love found, love lost and life’s enduring storms. Wagler’s inspiration is rooted in this country’s natural landscape and legends, from Kansas dust storms to railroad tramps, porch dancing to pure love, Carl Sandberg poetry to the iconic tall tale of steel-drivin’ John Henry.
The unique, vivid sound of the album owes to Lapp’s moveable recording studio; live recordings for the 14 tracks on Adrienna Valentine were captured in numerous locations in Indiana and Virginia. Wagler provides lead vocals and Lapp instrumentals on each track; Wagler plays guitar and contributes percussion on several tunes, with Lapp performing on mandolin, guitar, orchestra bells and lap steel throughout the album.
Lapp, the front-man for Midwestern Americana band Goldmine Pickers, and Wagler, who is based in Virginia and performs with The Steel Wheels, met five years ago and immediately recognized a certain musical synchronicity. Since then, the two performed together from time to time, and Lapp recorded both of Wagler’s albums. Adrienna Valentine launches the two as a duo act, with the energy of playing live captured in a richly layered sound landscape that breaks out of the old-time mold with collaborations on songs that feature gospel singers, a slapping electric bass, a full drum kit, orchestra bells, lap steel, barking dogs and noisy neighbors. But the pulse of the album is beating in the comfortable, urgent voices of Wagler and Lapp, whose harmonies wind a deceptively easy path through poignant musical stories including “Corrine,” “Honey Bear,” “Darlin’ Cory,” “John Henry” and “Adrienna Valentine.” |

Kruger Brothers - Choices (2004)
mp3 VBR V0~256kbps | 98mb
| Quote: | | After Béla Fleck, Jens Krüger is the best banjo player in the world. His approach is somewhat like Sharon Isbin or John Williams, for the crystaline clarity and precision of his notes. The fact that he was born & raised in Switzerland makes it easy to hear his banjo-playing as a clockwork cathedral of perfect proportions. Now he lives in South Carolina and his approach to traditional American music is as innovative as his original compositions. |
| Quote: | The Kruger Brothers from Switzerland have been performing professionally since 1973. Almost twenty years later, after playing together in various formations throughout Europe, Uwe Kruger on guitar, and Jens Kruger on banjo, teamed up with bassist Joel Landsberg to form the band as it appears on stage today.
Kruger Brothers performances are exciting, calming, entertaining and spontaneous all-in-one, exhibiting their sheer joy in playing music. Although each of these musicians has earned high credit for his skills individually, it is the interaction of the three together which makes their music so uniquely special.
Traditional American Folk and Bluegrass music would come closest to describing the bands' style of playing. Add to that their personal musical development, along with their Classical European musical influences, and you have acoustic string music performed with a rich new flavor. Over time the Kruger Brothers have been incorporation many of their original compositions which have become the signature of the band. It's a fresh kind of music, many fans describe their style.
The musical skills have lead to the world premiere performance of "Music from the Spring" - A Romantic Serenade for Banjo, Guitar, Bass and Orchestra together with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra in Bangor ME in June 2007. Besides this exciting entry to the classical music world, the Kruger Brothers are appearing regularly at festivals, Art Councils and Theater concerts since moving to North Carolina permanently in 2003. |

Texas Tornados - Hangin' On By A Thread (1992)
mp3 192kpbs | 51MB | 36:23 min.
| Quote: | | The ultimate Tex-Mex supergroup, Texas Tornados were composed of some of the genre's most legendary figures: Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers (Sahm's bandmate in the groundbreaking Sir Douglas Quintet), Hispanic country star Freddy Fender, and accordion virtuoso Flaco Jimenez. The group's infectious, party-ready sound blended country, early rock & roll, Mexican folk music, R&B, blues, and whatever other roots musics crossed their paths. The Tornados first assembled in 1989 at a concert in San Francisco, billing themselves as the Tex-Mex Revue. |
| Quote: | | Album number three from the Texas Tornados (and the last until a short-lived reunion four years down the line) followed the same path as their first two entries -- which is to say, if it was fun and came somewhere from the great state of Texas, you'll find a taste of it here. With "Guacamole," Augie Meyers finally penned a fitting follow-up to "(Hey Baby) Que Paso"; Freddy Fender shows off his strong but silky pipes on the up-tempo "A Mover El Bote" and the weepy "I'm Trying"; Flaco Jimenez celebrates both the accordion and the bottle on the heartbroken "Ando Muy Borracho"; and Doug Sahm serves up a lot of rock and a little reggae on the title cut and "La Grande Vida." While the Tex-Mex influences dominate more strongly on Hangin' on by a Thread than they had on the first two albums, the album also sounds a bit more cohesive as a result, and Sahm's more rock-oriented material still displays a strong sense of the aural and cultural cross pollination that makes Texas music (and the Texas Tornados) so great. While it hardly sounds like a final gesture, curtain calls were not what this band was about, and Hangin' on by a Thread did make a better final chapter to the Texas Tornados' story than their 1996 reunion album, Four Aces. |

The Iguanas - Nuevo Boogaloo (1994)
mp3 256kpbs | 92MB | 49:50 min,
Biography
| Quote: | | New Orleans, Louisiana's Iguanas reflected the diversity of musical styles found in their home state by fusing blues, classic R&B, zydeco, cajun, Tex-Mex and roots rock & roll. The group formed in 1989 around vocalist and guitarist Rod Hodges, who began playing guitar in San Francisco Bay Area blues and rock bands at age 14. While playing with a blues band in Colorado, he rediscovered the conjunto music that was a part of his mother's Mexican heritage, and inspired by master accordionist Flaco Jimenez, he took up the accordion as well. Vocalist and saxophonist Joe Cabral was raised in Nebraska, and his first musical experience came as part of his father's Mexican band. In college in Montana, he discovered Chicago blues, New Orleans R&B and the honking saxophone style. Bassist Rene Coman was a native of New Orleans whose recording credits include Alex Chilton, Guitar Slim Jr. and Willy DeVille, while saxophonist Derek Huston and drummer Willie Panker rounded out their original line-up. The Iguanas recorded their self-titled 1993 debut -- a pastiche of New Orleans funk ("Late at Night"), Latin music ("Para Donde Vas") and Mexican polka ("Take Your Pictures, Your Letters and Your Ring") -- for Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville label. By the band's second release, Nuevo Bugaloo in 1994, Panker was replaced on drums by Doug Garrison. According to Garrison, he first worked with Rene Coman in the Alex Chilton band in the mid-eighties, where they developed strong musical bonds. They have also recorded together with Tav Falco's Panther Burns, and Garrison appears on Charlie Rich's last recording, the jazz influenced Pictures and Paintings. In 1996 the band recorded their final disc for the Margaritaville label, Superball, which included a guest spot from guitarist and Iguanas fan Dave Alvin. Following the release of 1999's Sugartown for the Koch label, the Iguanas signed with Yep Roc, reunited with producer Justin Niebank and released Plastic Silver 9-Volt Heart in 2003. |
| Quote: | | The obvious point of comparison for this tasty combination of R&B, Tex-Mex, conjunto, and rockabilly is Los Lobos. However, the New Orleans-based Iguanas draws on Louisiana swamp pop to establish their own identity. The music doesn't sound as wild and intense as you might hope, and the vocals could be more forceful and distinctive, but Nuevo Boogaloo does sound looser and more spontaneous than their debut album. From the sprightly "Oye Isabel" to the rockin' "My Girlfriend Is a Waitress" to the soulful "Hey, Sweet Darling," this is a very appealing recording. |

Flaco Jiménez - Partners (1992)
mp3 256kpbs | 70MB
| Quote: | | Few if any artists in conjunto and Tejano music have received the level of critical acclaim Flaco Jimenéz has enjoyed over the course of a career that's spanned six decades, and it's certain that no one has taken the accordion-fueled Tex-Mex sound to a larger audience than he has. Without compromising his musical vision, Jimenéz has introduced the traditional conjunto sound to mainstream pop and country listeners thanks to his collaborations with the Texas Tornados, Dwight Yoakam, and the Mavericks, and he is celebrated by adventurous rock fans through his work with Ry Cooder, Carlos Santana, Doug Sahm, and the Rolling Stones. |

Flaco Jiménez - Buena Suerte Senorita (1996)
mp3 320kpbs | 80MB | 34:22 min.
| Quote: | | Some good traditional accordion-based Tejano music from the king of the genre. The songs here don't stray far from one another and the basic sound for the style, but that tends to help the album as a whole in its coherence. Here, Flaco Jimenez is in his element, pumping out bouncing waltz and polka one after another, along with the basic song formats. It's dance music that's being put out here, and some quite good dance music at that. For someone who isn't acquainted with Tejano accordion music, this album would probably make a decent introduction, as a relatively standard and bland album in comparison to many others. For old fans of the style, this album might prove a bit unadventurous, but worth a listen for the sake of hearing Jimenez on the accordion in any capacity. |

The Court and Spark - Witch Season (2004)
mp3 VBR~242kpbs | 70MB | 41:11 min.
| Quote: | | By tightening up some of the watery qualities that superbly defined the sound of their 2001 full-length Bless You, the Court & Spark immediately open up some space for new textures to lead off their third and most enriched long-player yet, Witch Season. The band has always had an experimental edge and their trials have always worn the tags of meticulousness necessary to keep the meat of the songs in context, but the flag the Court & Spark have unfurled in the mighty and complex opening track eclipses any benchmark in the band's previous history. Titled "Suffolk Down Upon the Night," the song drunkenly staggers through a heavily treated opening, but only for a few seconds, before a horn section augmented by bells, pedal steel, and the rest of the band kicks the album off into sultry momentum. Co-producer and regular collaborator Scott Solter brought a little bit of crispness from M.C. Taylor's voice this time around that, combined with the slight elevation in Taylor's forcefulness, lifts it more to the surface than on previous recordings without managing to sacrifice the warmth that makes Taylor's voice so comfortable and unique. Soulter also brought his penchant for field recordings and tape manipulations to the table, an idea likely inspired by the 2001 collaboration between him and Taylor called Boxharp. As noted, the content of Witch Season is complex, but it should be stated that it is still very accessible, especially on songs like the exuberant and poppy "Out on the Water," another song adorned with horns, and the lovely title track, which like the majority of the tracks, features Tom Heyman's pedal steel to fantastic effect. With Witch Season being their second exceptional LP, the Court & Spark should have no problems convincing any skeptics that they are an extremely thoughtful band worthy of considerable attention. |

Pink Martini - Splendor in the Grass (2009)
mp3 320kpbs | 114 MB | 54:08 min
| Quote: | | Splendor In The Grass truly encapsulates the band's history and spirit of global collaboration and inclusivity. Comprised of nine original songs and four covers (with songs in English, Neapolitan, Italian, French and Spanish) it features appearances by the 90-year-old Mexican ranchera singer, Chavela Vargas, Emilio Delgado (aka "Luis" from Sesame Street), NPR Justice Correspondent Ari Shapiro and Courtney Taylor-Taylor of the Dandy Warhols. |
| Quote: | | Over the course of three superb albums that have sold more than two million copies worldwide, Portland, Oregon’s mucho-eclectic outfit Pink Martini have served as international music tour guides imbuing a diverse collection of unpredictable influences ranging from Latin infused sambas, 30’s orchestrated standards, Cuban jazz and lounge-y torch ballads. “I’d call our music old fashioned pop with a global perspective,” says pianist and co-founder Thomas Lauderdale, who is also the band leader. “It has that feeling of the atmosphere of the 30s, 40s, 50s, early 60s, but global in scope.” Pink Martini is known for mixing a wide variety of contemporary pop influences, classical and world arrangements and, from Lauderdale’s descriptions, “Splendor In the Grass” continues in this tradition. “Tuca Tuca,” a popular Italian song from 1970, is augmented with the use of a sitar (the actual instrument used by Peter Sellers in the 1968 film “The Party”) and vocalist China Forbes teams with Sesame Street’s Emilio Delgado for a bilingual version of “Sing” (a song originally composed for the popular kids program and covered by The Carpenters). For the title track, the group drew inspiration from poets William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman and “a little bit of Tchaikovsky.” “I think this is very different than anything we’ve ever released,” he says. “It’s more like an early 70s pop ballad.” |

mp3 VBR~202kpbs | 101MB | 70:33 min

They combine contemporary European Lounge & Nujazz Styles with Brazilian Beats, Swing and American Black Soul of the fifties, sixties and seventies using their unique creativity and intensity. This beautifully produced CD comes packed with 16 stunning electro flavoured jazzy tracks. As the 4 albums before, Zoo Zizaro is a writers and producers cooperation of Club des Belugas’ founder and all time members “Kitty the Bill” and “Maxim Illion”…. and the most important thing is: they have never been better, Zoo Zizaro is the coronation of their work.
Main members are Maxim Illion & Kitty the Bill, with such exquisite guest vocalists as the Californian Jazz Lady Brenda Boykin, Swedish singer anna.luca, London based Jazz singer Iain Mackenzie, Anne Schnell from Jojo Effect, Ferank Manseed from Newcastle/UK, Dean Bowman from New York, trumpeter Reiner Winterschladen (Nighthawks) and trumpet player Thomas Siffling. |

Richard Buckner & Jon Langford - Sir Dark Invader vs The Fanglord (2005)
mp3 256kpbs | 59MB | 30:43 min.
| Quote: | Recorded at Sally Timms' apartment, Chicago late summer 2002 and mixed with Ken Sluiter at Western Sound Lab except track 9 recorded in Brooklyn, NY and mixed by John Marshall Smith.
All instruments Buckner/Langford with John Rice - mandolin and guitar and digital Willy Goulding on some drum kit. |
| Quote: | | We’ve waxed lyrical about Richard at some considerable length on this site before now, so suffice to say the man made two of the most important songs albums of the nineties, end of story. Or not. Since then a series of releases have appeared on his new adoptive home, french Fargo, interspersed with sporadic and inspirational live appearances. Here, an unexpected collaboration with ex-Mekon Jon Langford, conducted three years ago in Sally Timms’ apartment in Chicago yields three new compositions from each, and three co-written tunes. From “Rolling of the eyes” a devilled slide riff shows this to be a true and SPAMising meeting of minds. The duo play most of the instruments themselves, Langford seems to foster Buckners’ willingness to really cut loose, which has been sensed for a few albums now, but seldom so well executed. It’s a breezy half hour nine tune excursion, Buckner’s demented take on appalachian moan applied to some of the most original phrasing we’ve heard never fails to scare me. “Sweet anybody” is a prime example, and regardless of my somewhat ambivalent feelings towards Langford bless him, anything new from Richard is positively obligatory in our book. |
1. Rolling Of The Eyes (Buckner/Langford)
2. Nothing To Show (Langford)
3. Sweet Anybody (Buckner)
4. From Attic to Basement (Langford)
5. Torn Apart (Langford)

7. The Inca Princess (Buckner/Langford/Rice/Odom)
8. No Tears Tonight (Buckner/Langford)
9. Do You Wanna Go Somewhere? (Buckner)

Powell St. John - On My Way To Houston (2009)
mp3 320kpbs | 98MB | 41:15 min
| Quote: | | Finding a home on the Tompkins Square label seemed only logical for someone like Powell St. John, a veteran of folk, rock, and psychedelia of all stripes in the '60s -- and it makes further sense that he and his backing band tip their hat to fellow Texan Roky Erickson with a cover of the latter's "Hardest Working Man" to kick off the album. This said, On My Way to Houston feels more like a worthy effort than a striking release in its own right, something that seems strangely conservative rather than a second wind. On the one hand there's no denying St. John's general passion, and if his voice sounds his age then all the more credit for him not pretending otherwise -- he's no young man and not trying to be, though he does capture an adolescent crush from his past with humor and wisdom on "I Loved the Way You Played the Piccolo." But on the other, a number of the full-band performances throughout are little more than easygoing blues-rock of the sort that seemed to define a good chunk of the late '80s, time-killing and ultimately feeling rote and with a fairly flat sound to boot. Thus the more folk-derived performances stand out all the more, like the tribute to a forebear, "John Clay," given a banjo/fiddle treatment, or the enjoyable instrumental "Jerry Lightfoot," one of the better showcases for St. John's harmonica work. |
