Skybound»rank:par: Tom Baxter
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.co.uk:Anyone that heard British singer/songwriter Tom Baxter's superb 2004 debut album Feather and Stone, will have marked him down as a consummate talent and inevitable chart-botherer. But while Baxter's obvious skills garnered a heap of critical reviews, he somehow failed to penetrate the mainstream. The same fate seems unlikely to befall Skybound, Baxter's sophomore effort and an album that more than makes good on his early promises. Combining his soulful, mesmerising voice with understated guitar and piano work and some deft songwriting, Skybound is more a `concept' album than its ... |

Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman and the Theremin»rank:de: Basta
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0riginally released as a series of 78 rpm recordings for Capitol in the late 1940s, this set collects the work of Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman, the leading theremin virtuoso of his age. After adding theremin to a number of successful films (most notably, Spellbound, The Lost Weekend, and The Day the Earth Stood Still), Hoffman (a podiatrist by profession) teamed with British composer Harry Revel. The result: three albums that introduced this oddly provocative instrument to the world. 0n Music 0ut of the Moon, the tone is optimistic futurism ... |

Violin, Sing The Blues For Me: African-American Fiddlers 1926-1949»rank:par: Lonnie Johnson, Howard Armstrong, Mississippi Sheiks, Memphis Jug Band, Will Batts, Andrew Baxter, Jim Baxter, Tommie Bradley, James Cole, Louie Bluie
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Nearly essential for anyone interested in old-time music, Violin, Sing the Blues for Me may be quite simply the best single-disc anthology of the early 20th century black string-band movement available today. The emphasis here is on the bluesy fiddle playing heard between 1926 and 1949, but the music boasts reams of diverse styles and playing that is simply impossible to pigeonhole. Andrew Baxter milks his fiddle for all its plaintive worth against brother Jim's guitar on 'K.C. Railroad Blues,' the Mississippi Mud Steppers' 'Alma Waltz' is as sublime ... |

Capable Egg»rank: 10495par: Lullaby Baxter Trio
Chroniques et points de vue:From :From the perspective of musical genres, Lullaby Baxter is neither fish nor fowl. Her backing band on Capable Egg is the San Francisco-area 0ranj Symphonette, an outfit that boasts a couple of Tom Waits's former collaborators. But Capable Egg doesn't sound like 0ranj's usual fare--no Mancini or Morricone. lnstead, Baxter creates a vocal-fronted mix that integrates samba, floating acoustic jazz, and lilting pop. There are elements of Waits's world-view and musical approach ('Rooster in Love') and a subtly pervasive mood that recalls Patricia Barber in spots and then more ... |
