* | Karuna Khyal | Side A (partial) | Alomoni 1985 | Phoenix | 1976 recording... not much known about it. Comparisons to Krautrock. There are two long (>22min.) tracks on the album, so I'm just playing a part of the first one. It sounds great! | ||
* | Steve Gunn | Mr. Franklin | Boerum Palace | Three Lobed | "prodigous talent for fusing traditional American song structures with raga influence," sez the label. Great steel guitar work from guest Marc Orleans. | ||
* | Mance Lipscomb | Ain't It Hard | The Best of Mance Lipscomb | Arhoolie | 1960s recordings from a SE Texas songster who play it all: "ballads, reels, breakdowns, pop songs, children's songs, spirituals, waltzes, foxtrots, one-steps, two-steps, ballin' the jack, heel-and-toe polka, the cakewalk, the Charleston, the buzzard lope, slow drag, hucklebuck, and blues." He played what the audience wanted, in short, on weekend nights. Worked as a sharecropper by day--cotton & corn. His name is short for "emancipation." Cool. | ||
* | Rumel Fuentes | Walk-out en Crystal City | Corridos of the Chicano Movement | Arhoolie | Early 70s SW Texas singer. Great protest songs of all sorts. This one documents 1968-69 student walkout at a high school where there was much inequity, including the straw that broke the camel's back: all cheerleaders selected except one were white. | ||
