Guy Davis "Chocolate to the Bone"
The
mississippi blues are not dead. Here in
the flesh is a real live master of the blues. Don't miss this musician
either on
cd. Or if you are lucky, in PERSON. |

Odetta "The Essential Odetta"
My love
for gospel was
instilled in me by my Granny who would sing to us in the summers on the
porch
swing or while we canned foods for the winter-and my junior high choir
teacher who
was a young white man fresh out of college from the north who loved
gospel and
included it in our repetoire. Odetta is truly a living treasure. |

Marley's Ghost "Live at The Freight"
the rich
vocals and different styles of
music always amaze me. I think back to the days when Danny(the baritone
singer)
would sing on the lawn at Jr. college and we were so young . I love the
blend of
gospel, celtic, and zydeco music on this cd. |

Bonnie Rait "The Glow"
What can
you say about Bonnie?? The blues are here to stay in this consumate
master of slide guitar and vocals, I love "he winks an eye and the
bread
slice turns to toast!" Her music can make you henna like the devil. |

Huun-Huur-Tu "The Orphan's Lament"
This is my
all time favorite music for anything at all...traditional music from
Tuva (a tiny republic northwest of Mongolia) is
phenonmenal each singer can create more than one tone simultaneously
while singing.
Typically a higher register and a lower one. I am fascinated by the
harmonics
and the rythyms of the steppes. |
