It`s quite good, actually, and her songcraft continues to improve; it`s subtle yet sturdy work. The main problem is that the production doesn`t pull the listener into the album, but Carson`s songs and performance are passionate enough that they become quite gripping once you get past the surface. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Lori McKenna – Bittertown * $9.98 Personnel: Lori McKenna (vocals, acoustic guitar); Lorne Entress (acoustic guitar, mandoguitar, organ, drums, percussion); Kevin Barry (electric guitar, lap steel guitar, piano, bass guitar); Joe Barbato (Wurlitzer piano).Personnel: Lori McKenna (vocals, acoustic guitar); Mark Erelli (vocals, acoustic slide guitar); Lorne Entress (vocals, Wurlitzer piano, reed organ, bass synthesizer, drums, percussion, bells); Chris Trapper, Buddy Miller (vocals); Megan Toohey (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Duke Levine, Brian McKenna (electric guitar); Kevin Barry (electric 6-string guitar, electric 12-string guitar, lap steel guitar, mandolin, electric mandolin, electric bass); Chris Haynes (piano); Joey Barbato (Wurlitzer piano); Dave Limina (Hammond b-3 organ); Shane Koss (drum programming).Steeped in a kettle of Americana or alt country, Lori McKenna should rank up there with quality performers such as Lucinda Williams, Julie Miller, Kathleen Edwards, and Mary Alice Wood. "Bible Song," which sports a guest appearance by Buddy Miller, gives a perfect example of the singer knowing what she wants and getting it right: hints of twang, mandolin touches, and a melody that is just as uplifting as it is dreary and pragmatic. More radio-friendly are the pop-inspired roots on the infectious yet world weary "Mr. Sunshine." It has more in common with a lighter Melissa Etheridge, but McKenna is more than capable of pulling it off with flying colors. The folk-like quasi-lullaby "One Man" is pure professionalism as she sings about a town "losing its balls" while Chris Trapper provides strong harmonies. Sparser but not quite as polished is "Pour," a slow, downtempo tune that resembles early Jewel. "Stealing Kisses" and "Silver Bus" are the true great singer/songwriter tunes, recalling softer offerings from Mary Chapin Carpenter or Nanci Griffith, as she is basically left on her own. The minimal Cowboy Junkies-like "If You Ask" has McKenna at her most vulnerable as Kevin Barry`s resonator guitar results in a slightly fuller sound that toes the line between coffeehouse folk and roots country. "Monday Afternoon," another gem that fits like a well-worn shoe, is nearly too formulaic, but the singer builds on the momentum during the second verse. The comfort and care in each track is exemplified on the pretty and poignant "The Ledge," which sheds most of the studio polish. The eerie mountain music motif found during "My Sweetheart" could be Gillian Welch once removed. Thankfully, she only goes to the roots rock well once on a mediocre Sheryl Crow-esque "Cowardly Lion." Wrapping up another quality and stellar piece of work, the boogie ramble on "One Kiss Goodnight" recalls Natalie Merchant if she grew up in the heart of the South. The album is rarely bitter but incredibly sweet. ~ Jason MacNeil Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. |

Lori Carson – Stolen Beauty $14.51 Author: Lori Carson.Lori Carson`s lack of huge commercial success is a bit of a mystery to those who have followed her remarkably prolific career. Her critically lauded catalog, consistently mined by producers for the big and small screen, has given her the wherewithal to continue following her own muse. While rich with solo wonders like "Hands" and "Your Side," Stolen Beauty is essentially a greatest-hits record that focuses on her contributions to television and film, as well as highlights from her stint as the lead singer for the Golden Palominos. "You Won`t Fall" — from the film Stealing Beauty — creeps in like a storm cloud and produces a deluge of breathy harmonies and fingerpicked guitars that swell in time with her fragile voice, and the breathtaking "Little Suicides" echoes Tori Amos` best work without all the bloated pretense. Carson has a gift for unpredictable melodies, and it`s songs like these that set her apart from the average singer/songwriter, despite their inclusion in shows like Baywatch. ~ James Christopher Monger Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Lori Mechem – Return To Ipanema [6/30] $12.35 Personnel: Loris Mechem – piano, Denis Solee – Saxophone and Flute, George Tidwell – Flugelhorn, Pete Huttlinger – Guitar, Roger Spencer – Bass, Chris Brown – Drums, Dann Sherrill – Percussion.Personnel: Lori Mechem (piano); Pete Huttlinger (guitar); David Davidson (violin); John Catchings (cello); Denis Solee (flute, saxophone); Chris Brown (drums); Dann Sherrill (percussion).Audio Mixer: Brendan Harkin.Recording information: Wildwood Recording.Author: Lori Mechem.Arranger: Jeff Steinberg.The Nashville pianist Lori Mechem seems to specialize in tribute albums. She has recorded two Count Basie projects, 2003`s SHINY STOCKINGS and APRIL IN PARIS, this last released early in 2009 on the Green Hill label. Later on in 2009, she recorded yet another composer songbook for Green Hill called RETURN TO IPANEMA–THE MUSIC OF ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM, accompanied as usual by her band, Ritmos Picante,s which includes her husband and musical partner, Roger Spencer, on bass. Though very much in the easy-listening mode, RETURN TO IPANEMA falls solidly in the tradition of Jobim`s own easy-listening LPs of the `60s and `70s, THE COMPOSER PLAYS and WAVE, as arranged by Klaus Ogerman (still active on Diana Krall`s QUIET NIGHTS). Mechem`s musicianship is solid, however, and though his solos won`t be breaking up any dinner parties, saxophonist and flautist Denis Solee does a fine job of stating these timeless melodies purely and simply.

Lori Perry – I Found It In You * $17.26 Personnel: Lori Perry (vocals, strings, piano); Jeff Majors (harp); Anthony Randolph (strings, harmonica, piano, organ); George Duke (strings, piano, Wurlitzer organ); Craig King (strings, piano, drums); Renato Neto (piano); Alex Acu¿a, B. Hood (drums).Audio Mixers: Erik Zobler; Kevin Parker ; Jan Nerud; B. Hood.Soulful gospel-pop with some old-school `70s R&B influences, Lori Perry`s second album is filled not only with testimony, but with admirably real-world snapshots of how one person integrates the spiritual with the physical in her everyday life. A commonplace lyric like "Wrote This Song" (which sketches a small religious epiphany taking place inside a department store) is in some ways more effective than grander but more general odes to the spirit. The album`s jazzy arrangements and reliance on proper instruments as well as synthesizers root the album in the deep soul tradition as well as the slicker sounds of much modern CCM, giving I Found It in You a sound with appeal beyond the usual genre listener. Finally, Perry`s voice is a lovely instrument that makes songs like "Love Lifted Me" and "I`ll Follow You" a joy to listen to even for those who don`t necessarily believe in the same way she does. ~ Stewart Mason Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Lori Bell – The Music of Djavan [Digipak] [10/14] * $15.62 Personnel: Lori Bell (flute, alto flute); Angelo Metz, Angelo Metz (guitar); Tamir Hendelman (piano); David Enos (bass instrument, upright bass, electric bass); Enzo Todesco, Ana Gazzola (drums, percussion); Anna Gazolla (percussion).Audio Mixers: Pierre Paul; George Klabin.Photographer: Michael Oletta.Arrangers: Lori Bell; Tamir Hendelman.Flautist Lori Bell explores the music of Brazilian composer Djavan in this rewarding studio session. Bell is a gifted player who doesn`t resort to hot-dogging on her instrument, she is interested in getting each song`s melody across without theatrics. She and pianist Tamir Hendelman (a brilliant up-and-coming player) arranged the quartet selections. The leader`s lyricism is magnificent in "A Ilha (The Island")." The breezy contemporary setting of "Serrado" features an overdubbed flute in the introduction, with the leader joyfully propelled by the rhythm section. The hip samba "Luz (Light)" will appeal to smooth jazz fans who want to expand their musical horizons. Vocalist/percussionist Anna Gazolla adds an enticing, sexy vocal to "Capim." Orchestrations by Kuno Schmid are featured in three songs, with one of them, "Faltando Um Peda¿o (Missing a Piece)" adding guest Angelo Metz on guitar.

Lori Carson – Everything I Touch Runs Wild $14.54 Personnel: Lori Carson (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars); Knox Chandler (acoustic & electric guitars, bass); Chris Cunningham (acoustic & electric guitars, sarod); Matthew Pierce (violin, viola); Juliann Klopotic (violin); Jane Scarpantoni (cello); Rachelle Garnier (accordion); Steve Bernstein (trumpet); Beth Sorentino (piano, background vocals); Russ Irwin (Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards, tambourine); Brian Gocher (bass, programming); Bill Laswell, Rueben Radding (bass); Alan Bezozi (drums, percussion); Anton Fier (drums, programming); Lydia Kavanagh (background vocals).Recorded at Lori Carson`s apartment, Power Station, Greenpoint Studio and the Knitting Factory, New York, New York.Lori Carson has a voice that can pack a paragraph`s worth of aching heartbreak into one brief phrase, and she accomplishes that feat again and again on EVERYTHING I TOUCH RUNS WILD. She can load a relationship`s worth of disappointment and sadness into a line as seemingly simple as "I put my whole heart in it." She has a lovely voice that betrays only the most subtle hint of roughness around its edges, even when singing a pointed, biting verse like, "My first lover/Beat me black and blue/I was 15 years old/A couple of others/They were cheaters too/But I never had nobody/Half as mean as you." EVERYTHING I TOUCH RUNS WILD seems much more intimate than past albums, and displays mellowed, more acoustic sensibility. Even the dance beats are slowed and softened a notch. The result is a subdued, melancholy mood enlivened by moments of quiet hopefulness (she covers Todd Rundgren`s "I Saw the Light") and literate, quirky songwriting. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

But Is It Art? $11.79 From Andy Warhol`s Brillo boxes to provocative dung-splattered madonnas, in today`s art world many strange, even shocking, things are put on display. This often leads exasperated viewers to exclaim–is this really art? In this invaluable primer on aesthetics, Freeland explains why innovation and controversy are so highly valued in art, weaving together philosophy and art theory with many engrossing examples. Writing clearly and perceptively, she explores the cultural meanings of art in different contexts, and highlights the continuities of tradition that stretch from modern, often sensational, works back to the ancient halls of the Parthenon, to the medieval cathedral of Chartres, and to African nkisi nkondi fetish statues. She explores the difficulties of interpretation, examines recent scientific research into the ways the brain perceives art, and looks to the still-emerging worlds of art on the web, video art, art museum CD-ROMS, and much more. She also guides us through the various theorists of art, from Aristotle and Kant to Baudrillard. Throughout this nuanced account of theories, artists, and works, Freeland provides us with a rich understanding of how cultural significance is captured in a physical medium, and why challenging our perceptions is, and always has been, central to the whole endeavor. It is instructive to recall that Henri Matisse himself was originally derided as a "wild beast." To horrified critics, his bold colors and distorted forms were outrageous. A century later, what was once shocking is now considered beautiful. And that, writes Freeland, is art. |

Art Is… $17.99 Full performer name: Lauren Newton & Thomas Horstmann.Personnel includes: Lauren Newton (vocals); Thomas Horstmann (guitar, synthesizer).Points should be taken off the review of this record for the unbelievable pretentiousness of its liner notes, and the way they explain away each track. But, instead, the blame will be placed at the feet of Leo Feigin rather than the artists. This is, in a historical sense, not such a revolutionary meeting; guitar and voice have been intersecting, improvising, and uniting with each other since the instrument came into being. However, it is an amazing meeting, given how intimate, fun, and wide-ranging these explorations are in a concert setting. According to Henry James, the definition of art is “the thing that cannot be repeated or recreated.” This disc qualifies. Using an electric guitar with a bevy of electronic effects, Thomas Horstmann challenges and supports vocalist Lauren Newton and her wagon full of self-described “toys” in seven originals and two covers, including an all but unrecognizable rendition of Ellington’s “Solitude” (Newton always includes one standard to prove she’s for real, which seems derived from an inferiority complex because she’s a genius). These pieces tax every notion of what the separation of these two entities is about, and then blurs that distinction every chance the pair gets. There are places that are virtually indecipherable as to who is doing what. Especially since there is only one “song” here, it sounds artsy fartsy, doesn’t it? It is and it isn’t. This is art; it can’t be recreated. But it is art that is funny and warm and inviting to the listener. It is inspiring and beautiful and full of surprises. Which makes it “good” art, right? The answer is an undeniable “yes.” ~ Thom Jurek |
