Hill Country Revue 2010 Zebra Ranch

Genre: Rock
Rate: 320 kbps CBR / 44100
Time: 00:52:22
Size: 119,74 MB



The Cody Dickinson-led Hill Country Revue establishes itself as more than just a marking-time offshoot of Dickinson's more well-known North Mississippi Allstars with a strong second album for national indie Razor & Tie.

Initially partnering with hill-country blues stalwart Garry Burnside and Beale Street hotshot Kirk Smithhart, the younger Dickinson's band began as something of an alternate take on the Allstars' sound. But then Burnside stepped back (he remains a non-touring member), Dickinson gave up the drums for guitar (and his trademark electric washboard), and Michigan-based singer Daniel Robert Coburn came aboard as lead singer.

These moves transformed Hill Country Revue into a heavier, more aggressive band, balancing the hill-country blues base with a stronger brand of Southern rock. And though the nimbleness of the elder Dickinson's guitar playing was sometimes missed, Coburn proved to be a stronger, more soulful singer on the band's debut, Make a Move.

Zebra Ranch, named after the Coldwater, Mississippi, recording studio of Dickinson's late father Jim Dickinson, where both of the band's albums have been crafted, pushes this evolution further. Where Burnside wrote or co-wrote seven of the first album's 10 songs, here he contributes to four of 14. Instead, Dickinson has taken the primary songwriting role, writing or co-writing half the songs, and both Coburn and Smithhart take on larger roles. The band also moves further away from the North Mississippi Allstars template with the departure of bassist Chris Chew, replaced by Doc Samba. (Young Memphis music veteran David Mason is also new on drums.)

The result is an expansion of the first album's classic-rock influence. The blues base is still there -- witness Smithhart weaving a hypnotic hill-country riff into the otherwise more straightforwardly rock "Bottom $" or the classic-sounding hill-country groove on the Burnside/Dickinson collaboration "My Baby Don't Know" or the genre-affirming anthem "Hill Country." But many of the album's strongest songs stray further afield from that style. "Chalk It Up," co-written by Coburn and Dickinson, sounds like it could be a soulful radio-rock hit from the early '70s. And "Idyll," Dickinson's tribute to his native Mississippi landscape, is not the most incisive lyric you'll ever hear but has an easygoing yet gritty quality. The band hammers home both the album's rock-oriented expansion and personal motivations with an album-closing cover of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," the original of which featured Dickinson's dad.

Gary B. B. Coleman 1991 Romance Without Finance Is A Nuisance

Genre: Blues
Rate: 247 kbps VBR / 44100
Time: 00:43:14
Size: 75,41 MB



Review by Alex Henderson

It was no coincidence that Gary Coleman had "BB" in his name. One of Coleman's main influences was B.B. King, and he was happy to acknowledge King's inspiration (although he's also learned a thing or two from Bobby "Blue" Bland, Jimmy Reed and the late Albert Collins). Romance Without Finance underscores the fact that while Coleman may not be the most original artist in the world, his Ichiban output has been consistent and enjoyable.

The singer/electric guitarist's sense of humor serves him quite well on such amusing cuts as "Food Stamp Annie," "If You See My One-Eyed Woman" and "She Ain't Ugly (She Just Don't Look Like Nobody Else)." But he's equally appealing when embracing a somber minor-key groove a la Bland, and "Dealing From the Bottom of the Deck" is a fine example of Coleman's brooding side. Whether Coleman is being remorseful or humorous, this CD was a welcome addition to his catalogue.

01 - She Ain't Ugly (She Just Don't Look Like Nobody Else) 04:05

“Wenn, dann richtig” sagten sich Peter Schmidt (git, voc), Rainer Engelmann (b) und Ronny Dehn (dr) und nahmen nach zweijähriger Trennung das neue Album „V10“ auf. Auch diesmal setzt sich die Band stilistisch zwischen die Stühle. Ihr Respekt vor der Tradition und ihre Liebe zum Blues sind offensichtlich, doch nehmen sie sich die Freiheit, eigenständig zu sein und ihren eigenen Stil zu prägen. Lebendig und energiegeladen kommen die neuen Songs daher, voller Gefühl und absolut ehrlich. Ihre außergewöhnlich Dynamik und ihre Fähigkeit, das Publikum live mitzureißen, zeichnen diese Band aus. Die manchmal schon unheimlich wirkende Leichtigkeit, mit der diese Herren schon seit Jahren ihre Kompositionen auf CD's bringen ist immer wieder bemerkenswert...und immer gelingt es ihnen, dem geneigten Hörer auch zu vermitteln, was live auf ihn zu kommt...eine Reise zwischen Ballade und Rockkracher...zwischen sanften Tönen und der Begegnung mit dem Brachialen....diese Musiker stehen den international bekannteren Act's in keinster Weise nach und erhalten deshalb auch zurecht die Anerkennung
der Kollegen aus aller Welt....

total überzeugt mich, wie ich es von allen vorherigen Produktionen gewohnt, bin ein wirklich fullminanter Sound... (http://www.musikzirkus.eu)

If your a blues fan and not familiar with Guy Davis, shame on you !!! "You don't know my mind" is Davis' third CD and once again showcases Davis' ability as a musician and songwriter. Davis is a fabulous storyteller with his music and deserves to be among the elite blues songwriters. His style is traditional Delta blues complete with acoustic guitar, harmonica, and a gravely voice. Davis is authentic, and commands respect from both fans and peers alike.

The title song is possibly the best track on the CD. The line "if you hear me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying" conveys how we all must feel on the worst dog days. "Po' Boy," "Home cooked meal," and "Best I can" are the other highlights. Although his previous CD "Call down the thunder" is a little stronger from top to bottom, "You don't know my mind" is still marvelous entertainment from a very talented blues artist who should keep fans satisfied for many years to come.

Dirk Hamilton 1976 You Can Sing On The Left Or Bark On The Right

Genre: Rock
Rate: 192 kbps CBR / 44100
Time: 00:52:52
Size: 72,52 MB



Review by Jo-Ann Greene

This is a welcome reissue for this sumptuous 1976 set, an album that defines the softer side of the '70s. In fact, in one way or another, You Can Sing on the Left or Bark on the Right showcases the whole spectrum of the rock arena that never quite rocked out.

Here's Bruce Springsteen sneaking out of Asbury Park to skewer the "Little Big-Time Man," there's Bob Dylan reminiscing about a long gone love on "Wasn't That One Night Good," and isn't that the Rolling Stones dancing through "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in "Palova's Shoes"? And it's not just those artists' styles that Dirk Hamilton captures so adroitly, but their vocal inflections and lyrical tweaks to boot. The punchy paean to a vegetarian "She Don't Squash Bugs" pays tribute to Tom Petty, "I Got a Feeling" isn't reggae but regardless is still highly reminiscent of Bob Marley's "Redemption Songs," albeit with orchestral overdubs. And then there are the cross-pollinations, like "Grow a Rose," which sidles up to funk, gospel, and Mink DeVille. "Sweet Forever" grafts Bob Dylan with Van Morrison and Bob Dylan, while "Ridin' on a Whale" bounces exuberantly between Motown and Melanie. Thin Lizzy's "Dancing in the Moonlight" provides inspiration elsewhere, as do the Eagles, Poco, Cat Stevens, and a plethora of other pop-rockers of the day.

If the music is derivative, albeit in a delightfully dizzying way, the lyrics are shockingly unique, their startling visions combined with extraordinarily vivid vignettes create a psychedelic ride of poetic splendor through emotional valleys, wilderness backdrops, and moonlit moments of love. All told, it makes for a quite astonishing set of songs, and with the 2005 reissue, the set is appended by two previously unreleased numbers, the aforementioned "Pavlova's Shoes" and the Van Morrison-flecked "Jokey to a Shakey Hand."
