Markus James - Timbuktoubab

Jun 16, 2005, 7:26pm ederBlog
Dr John sounds "silly"? Still find Tom Waits exciting...Hmmm, heard it all before? Put on Markus James , and his new album Timbuktoubab, tonight. In my ears, it's a strong contender to the title "best world music album 2005". Sahara is dry and hot, and so are the musicians you will hear playing. Marcus has returned to Mali for this, the third album. Supporting this time is Hassi Sare (njarka violin, vocals), Solo Sidibe [...]

Melody Gardot - The Bedroom Sessions EP

Jun 7, 2005, 4:25am ederBlog
The title is Bedroom Sessions, but not bedroom as in Barry. Barry White. Behind this cd is a story of life i will leave it to you to read more about what happened to her. Life is a wicked ride. Photo by D.L.Whit (edited by me) Melody Gardot will probably remind you of Norah Jones first recordings, but Melody adds her own dimension to that. A [...]

Jun 1, 2005, 2:28pm ederBlog
I am still recovering from last week and Bullete What a fabolous experience! Now onto todays posting: ZZ Top has made lot's of albums. But do you know how ZZ Top sounded on their debut? Well, if you do, and if you liked that album, you will love "Milk Money" with The Mighty Orq . The Mighty Orq are a trio with a warm, heavy sound. At the time of writing i can not remember who the [...]

Bullette - The Secrets

May 27, 2005, 7:44am ederBlog
I had to go to the attic the other day and look for my old records. This band is inspiring. You know, they sounds like the very early Fairport Convention , (When Judy Dyble used to sing (and knit on stage...). It's soooo great music, and this is 2005. I can't believe it. Monika even starts to sing some notes on the chorus too early in What Love Can Do Without (2.12 into the song), and says "oops, sorry". Just like in the classic Daughthers of Albion [...]

John Batdorf & James Lee Stanley - All Wood and Stones

May 14, 2005, 10:08pm ederBlog
There are covers, and then there are "covers". Chills down my spine. We all know the Stones. Some from arenas, some from a dvd, perhaps and some, from a crowded, smokey coffee-house in london. I think i am not the only one that dreams of having been there, in the tourbus, or at the hotels, when magic lines of poetry were written, in a moment of serenity. The album i am writing about today is not an ordinary [...]

Jerry Engler - A Whole Lotta Years, A Whole Lotta Music

May 10, 2005, 8:28pm ederBlog
Dear reader, did you get your own homestudio yet? Planning a new masterpiece? No, Miss Lambert, this isn't about "Kerosene". 40 seconds into Hey Crazy Fool Jerry sets the standard for an album that, If you ask me, could be a strong candidate for "the" country record of the year 2005. 49 years of songwriting and a dream finally came true, an album of his own songs. Real, wellwritten melodies, some of them on the level of Hank himself, and what an extraordinary voice! Some tracks sounds like [...]

Tummel - Transit

May 5, 2005, 8:26am ederBlog
Inspired by the Xanaxtaxi post on Masada , it's time for me to put up some music again. I am going to write about Tummel . As some of you know, Klezmer music is best experienced live, and it's often difficult to find a band that can capture the spirit from the live-concerts on an album, but Tummel, from Sweden (well, they are from the COMA-area anyway), always does it to me, with high energy! This is an album that will take some listenings to [...]

Kaz Simmons - Take Me Home

Apr 22, 2005, 1:53pm ederBlog
It's nice sometimes to hear a female jazz-vocalist who doesn't try to be something she is not. Today i am writing about Kaz Simmons . Kaz first made me stop and listen closely to her music when i heard her own arrangement of "when the day is done" (which is an excellent remake of Nick Drakes song). The song starts with an exciting intro on tenor by Sam Crockatt, who is one of the skilled musicians that are helping Kaz on her debut-cd (some of [...]

Anne Davis - Letters, prayers, and journal entries

Apr 14, 2005, 4:54am ederBlog
Anne Davis - Letters, prayers, and journal entries I don't know why really, i put the famous "Musings of a creekdipper" (by Victoria Williams ), far back in the closet, early, to hardly be listened to ever again. Perhaps it was something with her attitude, or her annoying monotonic voice? It seemed like it was something missing. Of course it could be me too (it probably was if you ask any of her devoted fans). In general i know more or less exactly what i like, and i can be very picky sometimes when i hear to much pretentions in an artist. [...]

Queen Esther - Talkin' Fishbowl Blues

Mar 5, 2005, 7:08am ederBlog
My friends, we do not always have to look back in history to find great music. Sometimes it's here already, we just didn't know it. Anyone that mentions Howlin' Wolf as an influense, increases my curiousity a lot, but if they also say that both Lucinda Williams , and Donny Hathaway inspired them, well, then you know that you have found something special in todays, rather cold music climate. Indeed her music is extraordinary, without an [...]

Carla Holden - Wake Up and Love Me

Feb 26, 2005, 6:55am ederBlog
I have no doubt about "no doubt", in their early days, but, please, forget Little Gwen and her recent theathre. if you are looking for 'something else', i have a better recommendation for you today: Try a dose of Carla Holden instead! The first time i heard Carla it was a revolution for me, and i could not understand why such a talent was not allready a big star (well now i know more about how the industry works, and the garbage they are interested [...]

Sun Domingo - Same

Feb 22, 2005, 2:54pm ederBlog
Now and then it happens to me that i stumble upon some great music that does not sound like anything else. And since this blog is going to be about good, independent music, i have here for you a perfect example of that: And now, from Atlanta, GA, here's... Sun Domingo! Josh Barson, Charleston Free Times said: "I have seen the future of pop music and it is Sun Domingo. Their Cumberland's show was a breath of fresh air to a long stale King Street. This is one of those [...]

The Je ne sais quoi: "We make beginnings"

Feb 11, 2005, 9:47pm ederBlog
There was so much garbage in the punk-scene last year, especially from the U.S.A, don't you agree? So... i'd like to present a swedish band for you all: The Je Ne Sais Quoi with a fresh sound, almost like Pere Ubu, many years ago. Unusual. The Je ne sais quoi, live in Gothenburg, last year in December. Picture by Johnny Ola Here's a video made out of footage from the December European tour. The song [...]
