Words // Sarah V I was fortunate enough to be in New York City for Joe Henry's two concerts at City Winery recently. To add to my great luck, my favorite guitarist, Marc Ribot, was the opening act both nights, and he sat in with the band on a few songs during the main set as well. The band consisted of the same set of musicians that were on Joe Henry's recent studio album, "Reverie," plus his son, Levon Henry, as a guest saxophonist on a few songs. (Unlike other acts of on-stage nepotism I've witnessed [...]
Como siempre no es tarea fácil escoger lo mejor del año según nuestros colaboradores. Este año no fue la excepción. Pero aquí por fin está nuestro recuento 2011, con los álbumes más destacados del año de acuerdo al criterio de nuestro equipo. Desde hace varias temporadas que la elección de los mejores discos del año para el staff de Super 45 no resultaba tan consensuada. Por supuesto que siempre estaban los matices respecto a si cierto disco era o no un bluff, o si la animadversión contra los personajes era suficiente como para hundir sus respectivas [...]
Over the Rhine has come a long way since the days where they'd play intimate, candlelit shows at Stache's . These days, some 20+ years after OTR's core members Karin Bergquist (vocals, guitars) and Linford Detweiler (multi-instrumentalist) first put the band together (and 15 years since the duo married), Over the Rhine is more suited for large stages such as the one at Lincoln Theatre where they'll be performing on Wednesday night. Earlier this year, Over the Rhine released the Joe Henry [...]
El duodécimo trabajo de Joe Henry , y cuarta entrega para Anti, continúa el camino trazado por Blood from stars (2009). Desafiando términos y adjetivos, el productor/compositor abraza las raíces de la música americana hasta forjar algo tan personal, que no queda más que tildar esto como "canción de autor". Un término mezquino para un disco que se mueve con una soltura sorprendente entre estilos clásicos y que evoca, en cada una de sus canciones, el espíritu libre del jazz y el folclor americano. Cada vez más lejos del country-rock con el que brillara a [...]
The subject was not roses but great first impressions , including the one Matthew Sweet made with "Dinosaur Act," Track 1 on Altered Beast , his brilliant but critically and commercially overlooked 1993 album. That post got me thinking about roses that never fully bloomed (I guess the subject is roses, after all) and stars that should have been supernovas. I'll never understand why Ke$ha is famous and Luciana isn't. Why Mariah Carey and sometimes Janet Jackson ruled the [...]
We've been supporting the music of Joe Henry for years now, so we couldn't avoid cooking a tribute mix to celebrate his double talent of producer and songwriter. Choosing just a few tracks in his discography was heartbreaking but here we are, with a fine and subjective selection including famous artists like Allen Toussaintor Bettye LaVette, young artists such as Carolina Chocolate Drops or Hugh Laurie (yes, Dr.House himself !) and rarities.You can read our exclusive interview with Joe Henry and listen to his new and superb release, Reverie(out on Anti- Records). That's how Paris DJs loves madly, [...]

ARTIST: Joe Henry - [Album] DATE: 10-29-11 REVIEW BY: Daryl \'Darko\' Barnett Sometimes you never know which way the wind will blow, or what those winds (of fate) may bring your way. So when editor extraordinaire Bill Adams sent me a new album, unsolicited, for review with a note attached saying he thought I should check it out because it was my cup of tea, I felt like I owed him one. <br [view more]
A couple days late this week, but The Graboid is up and open for business with the week's new releases. It's my intention to get this up on the actual album release day, but I've been a bit busy. Hopefully, things will get back to normal starting next week, but who knows! Anyways, two big hitters top the list of new releases with Björk's Biophilia which she describes as "a multi-media project encompassing music, apps, internet, installations and live shows." It's an intriguing concept, but I've yet to tackle this one outside of listening [...]
Words // Sarah V. Rarely has an album been as perfectly named as Joe Henry's latest release, "Reverie." It has that dark, late-night feel that lets you lean back in a comfortable chair and lose yourself in thoughts and memories. Henry's decision to record live in his home studio with the windows wide open gives it a very homey ambience - you can distantly hear cars driving past, barking dogs, people talking, doors closing, birds chirping. Since it was recorded live, it has a very natural sound [...]
Recorded in his basement studio with the windows literally wide open, Henry's latest is a beguiling and beautifully disheveled set of all-acoustic songs. Joe Henry's new album, Reverie, comes out Oct. 11. Read more »
Joe Henry - Twelfth album from the critically acclaimed songwriter, musician and producer may be an acoustic effort, but don't let that color your preconception: this is a self-described "raw and raucous and messy affair" with a swift, measured and powerful punch..."I knew it should be stripped and lean but not demur, sonically speaking; in black and white, but not without red blood in its veins," says Henry // Release : Reverie (October 11, ANTI-) // Sounds like : a traveling roadhouse band of whisky-and-sweat-soaked players, conjuring deep soul and [...]

Lisa Hannigan - Irish folk/pop songstress, best known (still) for the seven years she spent touring and recording with Damien Rice, follows her acclaimed, Mercury Prize-nominated debut Sea Sew with this new ten track project produced by Grammy-winning producer Joe Henry (Solomon Burke, Allen Toussaint) and engineered by Ryan Freeland (Ray LaMontagne)...Hannigan says the new songs (and album title) come from the " loves, heartbreaks, confusions and friendships that we take with us through life"...Ray LaMontagne duets on the stark lament "O Sleep" // Release : Passenger (September 20, ATO)// [...]
Holy SH*T! New Joe Henry coming in October! Next to Daniel Lanois, Joe is the greatest producer in music today. Plus he makes killer solo records. For this one, he has an all acoustic sound with the likes of Marc Ribot, Patrick Warren and Lisa Hannigan. Mark 10-11 on your calendar. This is going to be a good one. Listen to the first track below (from SoundCloud ). Joe Henry - Odetta by antirecords Track List: 01. [...]
Joe Henry - Odetta by antirecords Joe Henry is one of the best American songwriters of our generation. From his more experimental jazz albums, to crisp autumnal Americana, to dark brooding songwriting and a litany of A-list production credits - Henry has done it all. We had the privilege of working with him in a professional capacity several years ago, and on top of being the amazing musician he is, he is hands down one of the best and most professional people we've ever worked with. Ok - that [...]
