Patty Griffin - Children Running...

See more

(04/25/07) Personnel: Patty Griffin (vocals, guitar, piano); Emmylou Harris (vocals); Doug Lancio (guitar, autoharp); Ian McLagan (piano); Glenn Worf (bass instrument); J.D. Foster (bass guitar); Michael Longoria (drums). Recording information: 2006. Part of the same New England coffeehouse singer-songwriter scene that spawned Dar Williams and Lori McKenna, Patty Griffin has stayed comfortably in the margins between rock, folk, and country for a number of years while developing a reputation as a songwriter's songwriter. Her material gets covered by superstars such as the Dixie Chicks, but on CHILDREN RUNNING THROUGH Griffin makes a strong case for herself as her own woman. A solid collection of tunes ranging from the Bonnie Raitt-like strut of "Stay on the Ride" to the country-rocking "Getting Ready" to the tender "Someone Else's Tomorrow," CHILDREN RUNNING THROUGH is one of Griffin's strongest albums. A particular highlight is the gospel-infused celebration "Up to the Mountain (MLK Song)."...See less

(12/11/05) Cat Power: Chan Marshall (vocals, guitar, piano). Additional personnel: Mick Turner (guitar); Belinda Woods (flute); Andrew Entsch (bass); Jim White (drums). Principally recorded at Sing Sing Studios, Melbourne, Australia in January 1998. Somewhere between the narcotic stillness of Mazzy Star and the quiet desperation of Lisa Germano, Cat Power's MOON PIX is a compelling, often powerful album of mostly-acoustic songs delivered in Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall's clear, measured voice. Restraint is key here, although troubling images and a distinct undercurrent of unease percolate through songs like the hypnotic "Cross Bones Style." Elsewhere, the surprising "American Flag" adds a new but not inappropriate trip-hop vibe, and the delicate "He Turns Down" recalls the best work of early-'70s neo-folkies like Judee Sill or Linda Perhacs, complete with trilling, jazz-inflected flute. However it's the almost stark quietude of "Say," with its perfectly appropriate thunderstorm effects...See less

(12/11/05) Blackalicious: Chief X-Cel, The Gift Of Gab (rap vocals). Additional personnel include: George Clinton , Ledisi (vocals); Floetry, Lateef The Truth Speaker, Lifesavas, Pigeon John (rap vocals). Recording information: Studio Calm, Paris, France. Not since the glory days of Eric B. & Rakim has so much hip-hop intensity exuded from one MC & one DJ. With a voice echoing the measured sermons of KRS-One and Black Thought, and with just a hint of Kool Keith dementia, Blackalicious MC Gift of Gab unfurls his narratives with an inspired mix of deliberation and fire, throwing out a flurry of ideas so immense it takes multiple listens to absorb them, but with a delivery so appealing as to never overwhelm. Meanwhile, DJ Chief Xcel throws together beats both familiar and far-flung in a manner that, even when he experiments, no listener is left behind. Their third offering, THE CRAFT, is one of those rare records (like THINGS FALL APART or STANKONIA) that expands hip-hop while maintaining pop...See less

(12/11/05) The White Stripes: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano); Meg White (drums). Additional personnel: Holly Golightly (vocals); Mort Crim (spoken vocals). Recorded at Toe-Rag Studios and BBC Maida Vale Studio, London, England in April 2002. ELEPHANT won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. The album was also nominated for Album Of The Year. "Seven Nation Army" won for Best Rock Song. The song was also nominated for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal Lo-fi in production and uncompromising in approach, ELEPHANT finds The White Stripes continuing to walk to the beat of their own pomo blues drummer in ignoring the enormous expectations heaped on the follow-up to 2001's smash WHITE BLOOD CELLS. Recorded in two weeks, this outing is packed with loose, soulful, and delightfully unpretentious songs that rage and howl. Jack and Meg White hit the ground running with the chugging shuffle "Seven Nations," with its infectious bass line and thudding cadence. Surprises...See less

(12/11/05) Personnel: Mos Def (rap vocals, piano, drums); Raphael Saadiq (guitar, bass guitar); Shuggie Otis (guitar); Paul Oscher, Minnesota. Producers: Easy Mo Bee; Kayne West; Minnesota; Mos Def; Psycho Les. Mos Def's mind and music both move as swiftly and exhaustively as his career, which has seen the Brooklyn, NY rapper form a rock band (Black Jack Johnson), star in movies, and flirt with Broadway, in addition to releasing a definitive hip-hop album in 1999's critically lauded BLACK ON BOTH SIDES. Nowhere is the far-reaching nature of Def's ever-percolating mind as clearly demonstrated as on 2004's genre-obliterating THE NEW DANGER. While BLACK ON BOTH SIDES certainly played around with many different styles, THE NEW DANGER lays waste to any musical boundaries, shifting from rap to soul to blues to hard rock, as soothing grooves are blasted out of their slumber by the blistering assault of Black Jack Johnson. Mos Def's thoughts are positively overflowing as he plays musical provocateur on...See less

(12/11/05) Cat Power includes: Chan Marshall (vocals, guitar). If catharsis is the name of the game, then Cat Power (AKA Chan Marshall) handily achieves this goal with YOU ARE FREE, her first studio album of original material since 1998's MOON PIX. She's a master at making more out of less, and to say Marshall's arrangements are sparse is an understatement. That said, songs like "Maybe Not" and "I Don't Blame You" benefit immensely from the solo piano accompaniment that gently prods along this southern singer-songwriter's creaky vocals. Even when she adds instrumentation, a measured approach keeps everything tight, whether Marshall is howling in front of Dave Grohl (who plays bass and drums), on the hypnotic, guitar-driven "Speak For Me," or delivering an ethereal cover of Michael Hurley's "Werewolf" that features David Campbell's evanescent string arrangements. In singing about various facets of freedom, Chan Marshall addresses her lover's unhealthy lifestyle (the mournful "Babydoll") and...See less

See more

(12/11/05) Cat Power: Chan Marshall (vocals, guitar). Cat Power's (Chan Marshall) disarmingly naive music hits you in the gut with its bare simplicity. Her hurt, vibrato-less tone is pure, velvety, and completely understated. In its simplicity, it seems to convey all the sadness of the world--like a leafless tree silhouetted against slate-gray sky heavy with rain clouds. Marshall accompanies herself on guitar, piano, or autoharp. Her arrangements are minimal--hypnotic, repetitive riffs with chords that barely change. When she hits a bass note, the impact is jarring. Cat Power's music is sleep with all its troubled dreams. On THE COVERS RECORD, Marshall explores the work of other songwriters. She deconstructs each song then reconstructs it as her own. Anyone familiar with Cat Power will be hard-pressed to tell the difference between these COVERS and Marshall's originals. "Satisfaction" is barely recognizable in its new, slowed-down version--the chorus is missing, and the lyrics take on...See less

See more

(12/11/05) The White Stripes: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano); Megan White (drums, background vocals). Recorded at Easley-McCain Recording, Memphis, Tennessee in February 2001. In an age where rock is becoming progressively more slick and studio enhanced, it's quite refreshing to see a band like White Stripes come up from the underground and play raw, sloppy, and soulful rock & roll the way it was meant to be played--straight out of the garage. On the Stripes' third album WHITE BLOOD CELLS, their songwriting and playing has become more focused and slightly more accessible than on their earlier releases (1999's self titled debut and 2000's DE STIJL). This is evidenced by such selections as "The Same Boys You've Always Known" and "We're Going to be Friends." But White Stripes' earlier direction can still be detected on several cuts, most noticeably on the cut "Now Mary." With the release of WHITE BLOOD CELLS, White Stripes are getting closer and closer to perfecting and bringing their modern...See less

(12/11/05) Personnel: Regina Spektor (vocals, piano, percussion); Bear Spektor (spoken vocals); Oren Bloedow (guitar); Jane Scarpantoni (cello); Graham Maby (bass guitar); Gordon Raphael, Alan Bezozi (percussion). Producers: Gordon Raphael; Alan Bezozi; Regina Spektor. Recording information: TMF Studios, New York, New York (2004); The Garden, London, England. Ensemble: Kill Kenada. Regina Spektor's major-label debut, SOVIET KITSCH, presents the singer/songwriter's unique music in all its quirkiness and glory. Spare, piano-dominated arrangements frame Spektor's wispy singing, which at times is bold and theatrical in a manner that recalls Bjork, at others shy and fragile like Chan Marshall (AKA Cat Power). Except for the ragged punk rock of "Your Honor," the album is dominated by acoustic piano, allowing Spektor's unique songs--with their blend of storytelling, lyrical association, whimsy, satire, and heartfelt confession--to shine through. The music is sometimes willfully primitive, as on "Poor...See less

The White Stripes - De Stijl

See more

(12/11/05) The White Stripes: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano, acoustic bass); Meg (drums, tambourine). Additional personnel: Paul Henry Ossy (violin); John Szymanski (harmonica). Recorded at Third Man Studio, Detroit, Michican. Detroit's own "brother and sister" drum-and-guitar duo broke out of local obscurity with their eponymous debut, a primitive garage romp that borrowed liberally from Led Zeppelin, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, various American bluesmen and other rock & roll stalwarts. With DE STIJL, the band eschews its earlier raw posings in favor of blues with a hint of art rock. DE STIJL (literally translated, "the style," a European art movement that praises the virtue of simplicity in design), hints at a band that plays its music guided by simplicity in form and function. The 13 songs on DE STIJL show this stripped-down duo coming into their own with more complex arrangements and more varied instrumentation. DE STILJ features an electric violin, harmonica, and piano (played by...See less

(12/11/05) Full performer name: Alison Krauss And Union Station. Alison Kraus & Union Station: Alison Krauss (vocals, fiddle, viola); Ron Block (vocals, guitar, banjo); Dan Tyminski (vocals, guitar, mandolin); Barry Bales (vocals, bass); Jerry Douglas (dobro). Additional personnel includes: Larry Atamanuik (drums, percussion). Recorded at Seventeen Grand Recording, Nashville, Tennessee. NEW FAVORITE won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. "The Lucky One" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by A Duo Or Group With Vocal and for Best Country Song. NEW FAVORITE finds Alison Krauss & Union Station continuing to solidify the bridge between the worlds of pop and bluegrass that they helped forge in the '90s. Krauss's crystalline vocals continue to induce goosebumps and bring to mind a young Dolly Parton on the delicate ballads "I'm Gone," "Crazy Faith," and "Momma Cried" along with more traditional-sounding fare like the high lonesome "Take Me For Longing." With its musical...See less
