Kickoff column this week is my review of the first new album in six years, heart followed by focus on the first three new label offerings based on Chicago blues. Thereafter, we will end things with a music comedy of recording of the personality of a local restaurant.
' Network Velvet Car, ' Heart (RCA Records, HHHH1/2)
This August 31 CD is Ann and Nancy Wilson new first in a long time and announces upcoming reissues of the legacy of his classic catalog.
Ann Wilson's voice remains one of the best, and Nancy plays a variety of string, mostly acoustic instruments: guitar, mandolin, Dobro, violin, viola, cello and autoharp, assisted by producer Ben Mink winner of the players Grammy.Otros include drummer Ben Smith, bassist Ben Markman and the assorted songsmiths one.
Highlight melodies are chilling title, the soaked string Melody "Queen City" the madly catchy "Hey You," the swamp "There You Go" and the displacement of tempo "WTF."
Old fans of heart and new curiosity seekers will love this one.
'Four ACEs and a harp,' Swississippi Chris Harper (Swississippi Records, HHHH)
Harmonicat Chris Harper is the Director General of this new record label and is using it to bring into the new millennium with GM Dave Katzman Chicago-style blues.
In this release on September 21, he skilfully blows his harp along with drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, bassist Bob Stroger also the guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Burns and John first.
The briefing notes describe wonderfully relaxing session where Harper and the "ACEs" Browse blues acoustic to electric and viceversa.Los highlights include jumping versions of "Hand Me Down My Cane of Crudup Arthur," "down at the bottom of Willie Dixon" and Lucille Bogan "Sloppy drunk."
The harmonica is drawing card, but abundant good sensations in this blues "greatest hits" collection.
'Big Otis Blues,' Rob Blaine (Swississippi Records, HHHH)
This September 21 is the second since the launch of Swississippi Records.Blaine helping a guitarist with a vision of modern blues which includes doing original songs, singing with feeling and how to get to understand that the blues doesn't have to be sad, moody hearings or anything else people assume a blues singer has to invoke.
Big Rob, who plays with the Kings of R & B Chicago (formerly Big Twist & Mellow teachers) is an incredible player with a voice can be repaired and great passion, but my favorite song here is the instrumental flavoured with Ronnie Lane/faces, Gone, not forgotten, seasoned by National Steel of Nigel Mack.
