Product Description
The third volume in the mix series from DJ Andy Smith proves that his Portishead connection may have gotten him a deal, but it's his skills -- and his ear -- that have kept him working for five years. The Document II isn't quite a hip-hop mix, though a lot of it is hip-hop (half underground, half Golden Age). It's also not a Coldcut-style mash-up of the bold and the bizarre, though he does remix whitebread crooner Jack Jones and follows up Def Jux storyteller Mr. Lif with a gritty rocker from Three Dog Night. Smith appears to love dusty soul 45s (check out Patti Drew's red-line version of "Hard to Handle"), but he also treasures modern deep funk from contemporary groups like Quantic Soul Orchestra and Sugarman 3. The only qualities that unite these tracks are catchy riffs and excellent breakbeats; The Document II is packed with excellent, obscure tracks, all presented with breathtaking pacing. And to listen to it is to be continually amazed by transitions that surprise but also sound perfectly natural. (For examples, listen to Smith's seamless mix of a high-stepping hip-hop instrumental by DJ Bombjack into Serge Gainsbourg's lecher classic "Requiem Pour un C," or the way he deftly allows Ultramagnetic MC's to bleed into the Blue Flames.) The only track that isn't mixed is the touching closer, Barbara Acklin's elegant late-'60s Brunswick nugget "Am I the Same Girl?," a vocal version of Young-Holt Trio's popcorn classic "Soulful Strut." Pure genius. Discotheque. 2005.

    5 out of 5 stars A Great Leabelly Collection..........2005-01-03


    I have all Leadbelly's works, and amongst them, this is a favorite disc because it features a nice collection of some of his most standard songs, plus some unusual and unique cuts.

    The great standards include: Roberta; Where Did You Sleep Last Night?; Yellow Gal; In New Orleans [sometimes called House of the Rising Sun]; John Hardy; and Ha Ha Thisaway.

    The special tracks include: the trilogy, Noted Rider/Big Fat Woman/Bottle-Up and Go [sometimes called Borrow Love and Go]--on Big Fat Woman, Leadbelly plays the piano; the version of John Hardy werein Leadbelly plays the concertina [small octagonal accordion]; the definitive version of the trilogy Fiddler's Dram [sometimes called Fiddler's Dream]/Yellow Gal/Green Corn; and the tetrology Bring Me a Lil' Water Silvy/Julie Ann Johnson/Line 'Em/Whoa Back Buck.

    Note: in Leadbelly's parlance, a "yellow gal" refers to a "high brown" or a mulatto woman; "green corn" refers to home-brewed corn liquor; a "noted rider" would be a notorious female prostitute, etc.

    Of all the Leadbelly discs around, those on Document label are the best!

            Victoria Spivey is one of the most appealing blues vocalists from the 1920's. She is more of a torch singer then most blues shouters like Bessie Smith or Maa Rainey. She sings about things many other singers of her genere would never sing about. She wrote many of her own blues about harsh things or double entendre. A truly great siger. She should appeal to jazz vocal fans.

            "Gid Tanner was one of the most widely recognized names among country music enthusiasts of the 1920s and 1930s. The group that he headed, Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers, was one of the most influential string bands that recorded during the formative years of the country music industry. The innovative approach, craftsmanship, and professionalism of this widely imitated ensemble was due in large part to the talents of such competent band members as Clayton McMichen on fiddle and Riley Puckett on guitar.

            James Gideon "Gid" Tanner was born at Thomas Bridge, near Monroe, in 1885 and spent most of his adult life in Gwinnett County, where he made a living as a farmer. He learned to play the fiddle as a teenager and became known in local circles for his prowess with the instrument. As a young man he was a regular participant at the Georgia Old-Time Fiddlers' Conventions, held annually in Atlanta between 1913 and 1935. He won the state fiddling championship in 1928. Tanner was known among musicians and convention audiences as a crowd pleaser. He was not only a fiddler but also a comedian noted for his stereotypical imitations and a singer with legendary range. Tanner allegedly knew the words and music to more than 2,000 songs. The favorite among his audiences was "I'm Satisfied," which he sang in alternating falsetto and bass registers. When Tanner sang the song at the fiddlers' conventions, newspapers reported that he "brought down the house" and was forced to repeat the song several times "before the audience would let him go."

            On April 17, 1926, the Skillet Lickers recorded eight songs for the Columbia record label in an Atlanta studio. During the next eight years various combinations of Atlanta-area musicians joined Tanner to record more than 100 songs under the Skillet Lickers name. Besides McMichen and Puckett, the Skillet Lickers at one time or another included Ted Hawkins (mandolin, fiddle), Bert Layne (fiddle), Fate Norris (banjo, harmonica), Hoke Rice (guitar), Lowe Stokes (fiddle), Arthur Tanner (banjo, guitar), and Mike Whitten (guitar). With such songs as "Bully of the Town," "Pass Around the Bottle and We'll All Take a Drink," and "Soldier's Joy," these records were well received by fans of old-time string band music, and they sold well. The band's biggest-selling record was "Down Yonder," recorded at its last session in 1934, with Tanner's son, Gordon, playing the lead fiddle.

            In addition to traditional folk music, fiddle tunes, and novelty songs, the Skillet Lickers recorded a series of skits in which humorous dialogue, interspersed with snatches of familiar songs and tunes, was the main feature. Called "rural drama records," these skits, as their titles indicate, recounted stories about such topics as "A Corn Licker Still in Georgia," "The Medicine Show," and "Kickapoo Joy Juice."

            Although Tanner's recording career ended in 1934, he remained active as an entertainer until shortly before his death. During his last years he performed on stage and radio and entered fiddlers' contests. He won his last first-place trophy at the age of seventy-one.

            At his death in 1960, just three weeks shy of his seventy-fifth birthday, Tanner left behind a living legacy of his work as a musician. His grandson Phil Tanner and Phil's son, Russell, both fiddlers, are still actively performing in an old-time string band that retains the name Skillet Lickers. Four generations of Tanners have kept Georgia's old-time music alive for more than a hundred years. Tanner was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1988."

            5 out of 5 stars Don't Get the Wrong Impression -- Not Very Godly Types.......2001-10-03

            Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers are the very top of stringband/mountain music/hillbilly combos in American history. They are not, however, more than marginally holy types. Not when they do numbers like "Pass Around the Bottle and We'll All Take a Drink," "Bully of the Town," "You Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Around," "Dance All Night with a Bottle in Your Hand," "Sal Let Me Chaw Your Rosin" and several "humorous" racist numbers like "Darktown Strutters' Ball" and others whose very titles are now offensive and favorites of white-supremacist trolls to this day. Messy, ugly, wild, confounding, exhilarating stuff all in one bundle. A cornerstone of Weird Old America.

            4 out of 5 stars Dishing Up Food for the Soul.......2001-04-05

            Skillet-Lickers offers a healthy helping of Christian Cuisine for those of us who enjoy spice and full-flavor over the bland taste of everyday fare. As a newcomer to Christian music, I am drawn to their sound - a truly electric version of spirit-led music that assists those of us who are weaning ourselves from a heavy metal secular diet. Satisfies that need for rock while it satisfies the soul's need for The Word.

              Due to the rough sound transfer of the original Paramount acetates and 78s, this third in a five-CD series is strictly for completists and historians. That being said, Blind Lemon Jefferson was at the height of his powers in 1928 and the songs here represent some of his darkest themes and most striking visual imagery. "'Lectric Chair Blues" describes a sentenced man "sittin' in the electrocutin' chair and cryin'," while on "Lock Step Blues" Jefferson bemoans the "big rats" in his prison cell. But there are happier moments like "Christmas Eve Blues" and the celebratory "Happy New Year Blues." Jefferson's intricate fingerpicking can be distinguished on these tracks, but it's his powerful two-octave voice that really penetrates the mists of time. Truly revelatory stuff if you have the patience. --Ken Hohman

              Jimmy Yancey never fails to amaze and satisfy! Still, it has to be acknowledged that his later work was not always as fully realized as his classic masterpieces from 1939 and 1940. If you can afford to add this fine CD to your collection, by all means do so. If not, Volume 1 is still the essential one to own.
