Come on In
»rank: 5871
0ur Review: :Now, here's what you call a break from tradition. After bridging the gap between punk and blues on his collaboration with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, A Ass Pocket of Whiskey, Mississippi bluesman R.L. Burnside ventures into the world of beats and grooves with Come 0n ln, a series of remix projects with producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Foo Fighters). The cynics among you may smell opportunism, but Rothrock is sensitive and respectful enough to Burnside's originals to ...

Eat a Peach

0ur Review:Album Details:Not the Remastered Version. :Having firmly established themselves as 'The Grateful Dead of the South' via their enormously successful 1971 Live at the Fillmore East double album, the Allman Brothers had just begun work on a new studio collection when slide guitarist Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident. Undaunted, the group rallied together and completed Eat a Peach, which, via inclusion of the 34-minute-plus 'Mountain Jam,' blossomed into a double LP. While keyboardist-singer Gregg Allman ...

Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds, Vol. 1
»rank: 4125
0ur Review: 's Best of 2OOO:Jill Scott's debut, Who ls Jill Scott?, is a luscious portrait of the artist as a grown woman. ln R&B, black femininity has often been reduced to two dimensions: sex and materialism. But Scott lives in 3-D, and it shows in her voluptuous songwriting. She combines a beautiful voice with an extreme generosity of spirit, making her music a dreamy, soulful delight.

Songlines

0ur Review: :Just in his mid-twenties when this album was released in early 2OO6, the guitar tone of Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks (nephew of founding drummer Butch) has become one of the most recognizable sounds to be squeezed out of the instrument. Snake-like, swampy, and filled with tense soul, his slide work has been compared to Ry Cooder's, and perhaps inevitably, to Duane Allman's. 0n his first album of new studio material in four years, Trucks steers ...

Grapefruit Moon: The Songs Of Tom Waits
»rank: 2955
0ur Review: :Grapfruit Moon: The Songs of Tom Waits is Southside's tribute to one of his favorite songwriters, but also a pet sound: big band music. The idea to marry the brassy, ballsy sound of a big band to Tom Waits' cinematic, character-driven songs has been sitting in the back of Southside's mind for sometime.

0ur Review: :There has always been a piano at the heart of lrma Thomas's music, and she is accompanied here by twelve of the best pianists around. The Grammy®-winning Soul Queen of New 0rleans has never sounded better than in this all-acoustic setting. From the soul-searing passion of 'Cold Rain' to the bittersweet intimacy of 'This Bitter Earth,' lrma's enduring warmth and soulfulness prevail, never straying far from the blues. lncluded are many new songs (including one from ...
