Badu, Erykah - New Amerykah Factory Sealed 2008 2LP Gatefold Vinyl. "Erykah Badu Has Embarked On One Of The More Ambitious Projects In Recent R&B History: This Year, She'll Release New Amerykah, A Series Of At Least Two, Possibly Three, Albums Tackling Sociopolitical Issues Like Poverty And 9/11, Drawing On Musical Styles From The Forties Through The Sixties, And Promising, She Says, To "Talk For My Race And My Planet." Badu Kicks Off The First Disc By Indulging Her Arty Side: 4th World War Is Mostly Dark, Minor-Key Melodies, Eerie Chants And Atmospheric Electro Beats Courtesy Of Underground Producers Like Madlib And Shafeeq Husain. Some Of The Music Is Gripping — The Modal-Sounding Chorus And Blippy Groove Of "My People" Suggests An R&B Version Of Radiohead — But Other Tunes Feel Like Absent-Minded Doodles, And Badu's Social Consciousness Nets Middling Returns. There Are Passing References To Falling Buildings And Young Men Ending Up In Prison, Plus Praise For Louis Farrakhan, But There's Nothing Specific Enough To Qualify As Actual Commentary. Still, It's Good To Have Badu Back Trying New Things. She'll Have Another Shot This Year To Get Back To Greatness." - Christian Hoard, Rollingstone.com...more

Lagrene, Bireli - Bireli Swing '81 Sealed 1981 Gatefold Original. Guitarist Bireli Lagrene Spent His Teenage Years Sounding Very Close In Style To Django Reinhardt. For This German Import, His Second Recording, The 14-Year Old Romps In Djangoish Fashion On Such Tunes As "Djangology," "Lady Be Good" And "Nuages" But Also Was Starting To Show Some Individuality On His Own Originals. Most Of The Selections Are Performed With One Or Two Rhythm Guitarists And A Bassist, All Europeans. Lagrene Has Since Grown As A Player; If Only He Had Had The Opportunity This Early To Record With Violinist Stephane Grappelli Before His Own Style Changed. 4½ Stars In All Music Guide....more

Cooder, Ry - Chicken Skin Music Sealed 1976 Original. Crisp Corners, No Cut Out Holes. "Ry Cooder Has Always Believed In The "Mutuality In Music," And This May Be No More Evident In His Career Than With His Fifth Album, Chicken Skin Music (A Hawaiian Colloquialism, Synonymous With Goosebumps). Even More Than Usual, Cooder Refuses To Recognize Borders — Geographical Or Musical — Presenting "Stand By Me" As A Gospel Song With A Norteño Arrangement, Or Giving The Jim Reeves Country-Pop Classic, "He'll Have To Go," A Bolero Rhythm, Featuring The Interplay Of Flaco Jimenez's Accordion And Pat Rizzo's Alto Sax. Elsewhere, He Teams With A Pair Of Hawaiian Greats — Steel Guitarist And Singer Gabby Pahinui And Slack Key Guitar Master Atta Isaacs — On The Hank Snow Hit "Yellow Roses" And The Beautiful Instrumental "Chloe." If Cooder's Approach To The Music Is Stylistically Diverse, His Choice Of Material Certainly Follows Suit. Bookended By A Couple Of Leadbelly Compositions, Chicken Skin Music Sports A Collection Of Songs Ranging From The Aforementioned Tracks To The Charming Old Minstrel/Medicine Show Number "I Got Mine" And The Syncopated R&B Of "Smack Dab In The Middle." Also Included Is Appalachian Songwriter Blind Alfred Reed's "Always Lift Him Up," Complete With A Hawaiian Gospel Tune, "Kanaka Wai Wai," Woven Into The Instrumental Section. As He Explains In The Album's Liner Notes, Cooder Understands The Connection Between These Seemingly Disparate Styles. This Is Not Merely Eclecticism For Its Own Sake. Chicken Skin Music Is Probably Ry Cooder's Most Eccentric Record Since His First, But It's Also One Of His Most Entertaining." Brett Hartenbach, All Music Guide....more
