In different ways, I am reviewing a series of records that go back to the years 60/70, that is, to soul, blues, and then the classic r'n'b. Their specificity did not pregiudca quality. In short, this Easter we take a dip in the past.
The first disc is to Sharon Jones with its The Dap Kings produces I Learned The Hard Way , disco good but not great when compared with Previous 100 Days, 100 Nights (blues album of 2007).
Meanwhile, just for instance, we are talking about the champions of the soul, comparable to Aretha Franklin or Etta James-2000s, and boasts collaborations with the likes of David Byrne, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Booker T and Michael Bublé, understand?
This fourth work of our loved one, recorded on eight-track analog in Brooklyn to Daptone Records' House of Soul Studios, takes us straight to those records sixties-seventies closer to His Majesty King of Soul James Brown, so blood and sweat that you can wring our cd that we can wash the floors of the house. The Dap Kings do an excellent job, do you remember "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse ? The session-man they were, and take home the victory with ease. Less funky and more soulful than the previous, but well above the 3 stars. The second disc
now is Come And Get It of Eli "Paperboy" Reed male star of the American soul today.
Eli Reed began playing teenager in his native Boston and through a chance encounter, he went right after school to Clarksdale in the Mississippi Delta to work the legendary WROX, radio station dedicated to the blues. While in Clarksdale has played in various clubs, including the Delta Blues Museum, there's the grizzled veterans have coined his "nickname as Paperboy Reed says," I used this hat, my grandfather, who is now retired. All in Clarksdale had a nickname. They gave me one and now sticks with me. " Soon he moved to study in Chicago, where he expanded his musical palette by playing the organ for Sunday morning behind a church in the tiny South Side of Chicago before, and full of confidence, he moved to New York City and was soon headlining clubs coolest Brooklyn with his red-hot R & B band that dusted. After two albums, Reed has achieved success by receiving a nomination for 2009 Mojo Awards in the UK. And now comes the first job at a major, the Capitol Records Parlophone Records in the U.S. and the UK.
The job is already a cut above previous releases and all that sound close to the greats of the past, see Sam Cooke, Otis Redding , Wilson Pickett and James Brown
"For me," says Reed, " is the only way I know to write pop songs. These are the kind of artists who have been affected and these influences are a big part of what I do. When I pick up a guitar to write a song, that's what comes out. I'm not trying to put up something new, this is what comes out, this is what happens, I can not sing in any other way. " 3 stars.
And finally we get home to talk about pop. Unbelievable but true, Baustelle with " The mystics of the West "are finally center. Our Tuscan finally come out of the eternal promises and churn out a beautiful disc. It was time, I must say that the music Italic (and also for them) now I feared the worst and hope there will be a rebirth as in the eighties where he created a movement that had taken us in different ways to appreciate both the Litfiba that CCCP. I must say that the previous work titled Amen, even If the winner of so Targa Tenco 2008, I was not pleased, in fact the title for me was both in name and fact. The intelligent lyrics now married to different facets of pop music, touching on various genres from pop-rock beat and the song writing perfectly thanks to the work of Pat McCarthy, already working with REM, U2 and Madonna (as what it's like a producer with controconigli?). There are also moments but at least it's a decadent Italian album to digest. Almost three-star consideration.
