Legendary solo album by key figure in Village
folk scene 1982 |
BRUCE COCKBURN | Columbia 48737 | Big Circumstance | ● CD $11.98 |
For a "folk" singer Cockburns' work has a very
modern sound. Intricate electric guitars, keyboards, modern percussion and
slick production give him a sound between the likes of Richard Thompson
and Dire Straits. Cockburns' lyrics are thick with metaphor, rich in
imagery, and laced generously with rage at injustice and inequity. Well
crafted, complex, very up-to-date protest songs. Listen to this record a
while and you will find yourself humming songs about South American
ecology or Asian politics or existential philosophy. Includes a complete
lyric sheet and a "Inspected by..." tag. Good stuff out of
Canada. |

RY COODER | Warner Bros. 25639 | Get Rhythm | ● CD $12.98 |
Ry, along with his superb cast of mates, which includes
accordion wizard Flaco Jimenez, Van Dyke Parks on keyboards and a driving
rhythm tandem of Jorge Calderon(b) & Jim Keltner(d), has created a
very funky & playful repertoire of songs that will make you want to
join in and second line for the entire set. Since Ry has written only 2
new songs for the LP, his obscure search for engaging covers, with the
painful exception of Elvis' All Shook Up , is rewarding both
lyrically & musically. Ry's version of Johnny Cash's Get Rhythm
jumps from the opening bars, a solo version of Chuck Berry's 13
Question Method sets up a calypso cautionary tale - Women Will Rule
The World . There is a tende reprise of Across The Borderline
from the excellent |

THE CUMBERLAND THREE | Rhino 70739 | Songs Of The Civil War | ● CD $10.98 |
For this reissue, Rhino combined Roulette's 1960 releases Civil
War Almanac Vol. 1 (The Yankees) and Vol. 2 (The Rebels) into
one neat folk statement. The songs are arranged in sparse vocal trio
settings with banjo and guitar, and feature singer John Stewart (who moved
on to Kingston Trio fame). The twelve rebel songs are presented before the
eleven Yankee songs, probably because Stewart preferred them. Not being
partial to either faction, I prefer the Yankee portion, which the trio
seem to be more comfortable interpreting. A couple of the songs list
Cumberland Trio members as composers, which seems to indicate they may not
have been sung on the battlefield. But this isn't meant to be a scholarly
effort. Overall a nice disc, including Down To Washington/ Yellow Rose
Of Texas/ Battle Hymn Of The Republic/ Picket's Lament. (GR) |
