Product Description
Deeper (Sumeet Music, SM002) is a smooth blend of R&B, Hip-Hop, and Dance Hall. Recorded in Toronto and New York City with some of the best new producers, this album will surely set the bar for independent talent around the World.
The range of her abilities is shown off on infectious dancehall reggae jams such as "Agony" featuring Atlantic Records recording artist Elephant Man, and "Wine Me (2 Da Ground)" which have both been in heavy rotation across Canadian and UK radio, as well as Sirius Satellite Radio in the U.S. The songs were produced by Brukkout, the team with studios in Brooklyn, NY and Portmore, Jamaica. The combined sales of "Agony" on a Universal Records Compilation, AV8 Records, and Brukkout Records, are nearly 20,000. Because of popular demand, "Wine Me (2 Da Ground)" was included on Torontos Flow 93.5 FMs prestigious Urban FlowCase CD.
2004 Grammy Award Nominated engineer Dave ODonnell produced "Rush", a lush mid-tempo song with a classic R&B style Rhodes over a beat-box infused rhythm. ODonnell, who has engineered artists such as Sting, Mary J. Blige, and James Taylor, was able to infuse his own experiences and knowledge into the song to give it a somber maturity.
Recently, three of Sumeets songs were featured on BBC Radio. "Connection", which is sung in a playful storytelling style, made the A-Playlist. "Get On Your Feet", a simple but infectious club jam, and "Love Goes On" were both picked as songs of the week. "Love Goes On" produced by Djinn along-side his guitar playing partner Tom Linden under the moniker The Godfathers, is a unique blend of Hip-Hop based R&B and the popular South Asian dance style, Bhangra. The song was picked as "Recommended Listening" in the April 2005 issue of The Fader Magazine, as was "Agony" in August 2004.
Other highlights on the album include sexually charged songs "Secret", which features a gangsta style Dance Hall verse from a new Jamaican artist named Deva Bratt, and "On" which has a subtle safe-sex message. "Ghost" which features Sumeet chanting over a relentless loop about being haunted by a past lover, and "Deeper", the title track, bring the listener back full-circle with their strong emotional connection.

At the time of his death in 2004, the indomitable Rick James was in the process of unleashing yet another wave of freakiness on the general populace. He had penned 10 songs, half of what he hoped would become a double-disc set, and holed himself up in his L.A. home studio to record them. Though the project never came to fruition as he envisioned it, Deeper Still culls the tracks he had in the can plus a single cover, and it opens wide a window on the freak-master's mindset in his final days. The gentle title song swerves away from empty come-ons and excessive suavity to celebrate romance and (of all things) commitment, and a later track, "Sapphire," again dispenses with signature slinkiness in favor of affirmation--here, strong black women see some love. Evidence of James's fabled "sex, drugs, and funk & soul" lifestyle peek through on the steamy "Do You Want to Play" and the autobiographical cuts "Taste" and "Stroke," but mostly Deeper Still represents a mellowing. "Guinnevere," the cover, is a great example: James, who was still in fine vocal form, gets comfortable with a meandering David Crosby meditation on a green-eyed lady who longs, above all, to be set free. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:

Rick James' new CD, "Deeper Still".......2007-06-29
Rick James was a musical genious and definitely the "King of Funk"!!If you are a true Rick James fan (and loved his vocals and ballads), pick up this CD! If you miss the old Rick with the upbeat, fast-paced songs, this CD isn't for you. It is for the true Rick James fans that saw "Deeper Still" into who Rick was, a soulful balladeer....
Enjoy!
Good; not great Rick James.......2007-06-23
I went to Rick's last album, Urban Rhapsody, and it is alot beter than this one. That album is vintage Rick without being dated or "over-modernized" - it was a shame that it didnt get more commercial recognition because it was his best since Throwin' Down. Deeper Still should have been in the same vein. It actually is to some extint as half of it sounds like outtakes that didnt make the cut for Rhapsody - maybe they are since Rick was long gone by the time this album surfaced. Don't get me wrong. It is not bad - in fact it is good overall with a few cuts saving it from being slightly less than mediocre. You have to be a hardcore Rick James fan to appreciate it fully - I think. I have been one myself since Mary Jane -- but I know will be bored with this album in a month.

It would probably be better to rename it and put a different picture on the cover that would be less insulting to the people it's making a mockery of and more suitable to the disco minded crowd it's apparently trying to foster.

He's got his Dad's vocal style and his Mom's rhythm.......2006-10-24
Taylor wrote two of the five songs on this "EP". Only "Lady Magic" has the James Taylor feel while the other "Digest" has just enough "hip hop" rhythm to let you know it's the 21st Century, yet the stripped down acoustic arrangement gives it a relaxed feeling. I thought I'd had enough of Macy Gray's "I Try", Taylor gives it new life. (On the final track, "Glory Box". Taylor shares vocals with Meredith Sheldon, who actually sounds not unlike Gray).
The one song that I think fails is the standard "You Belong To Me". Though written in the 1930s that song belongs to The Duprees. It really seems out of place.
But, heck, this is a sampler, more or less, and has a list price of less than six bucks. It's a good introduction to the next generation of Taylors.

Album Description
Billboard Magazine kicked off 2004 with a cover story on re-emergence of the soul music movement, noting that new artists are makeing their presence felt.Enter Pete Belasco with Deeper
Lush and seductive, Deeper plumbs the retro-feel of classic, sexy R&B grooves while staying contemporary.
Fans of Belasco are slavishly devoted to Get It Together, his 1997 debut album. Get It Together was described by Jazziz as "brilliant R&B, blues and jazz fusion" and by Hits as containing "slow R&B grooves (that) promise to seduce you into a bed not made since Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'."
Deeper has already sparked interest in the UK, where the album reach the #1 position on Jazz FM.
Pete Belasco's Deeper is poised to make its mark: sensual, silky music that just begs to lead the Soul Music movement.

A well-kept secret surprise & a very good cd!.......2005-10-23
What I really liked about this cd is it's ability to "play well with others". When I want to shuffle 4-5 cds together, Belasco's "Deeper" mixes well with newer artists such as Joss Stone and Kem; or another mix with some old-school Ramsey Lewis and Roberta Flack. Also, Belasco's instrumental tracks nicely complemented other cds like Joyce Cooling and Walter Beasley.
Belasco's "Deeper" is like a fresh sound that you know you've heard before. And it's like hearing it again-- for the first time.

Amazon.com
Beth Nielsen Chapman has long been a music-industry favorite, with the likes of Elton John championing and performing her songs. To say she's had it rough, though, barely does justice to the events that inform 1997's Sand and Water and its follow-up, Deeper Still--the death of her husband and her subsequent fight with breast cancer. Deeper Still's acceptance of hard truths will resonate with many listeners, while others will raise an eyebrow at Chapman's insistence that there are "angels by [her] side." As Hallmark as she can sometimes seem, though, it feels a bit churlish to throw stones at someone who could've folded as easily as continuing to record. Deeper Still offers nothing as pop perfect as "This Kiss," the hit she cowrote for Faith Hill, but those tuned to its singer-songwriter pitch will treasure it nonetheless. --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:
Beyond Beautiful..........2007-07-29
In each song Beth connects with her listens in a most beautiful & profound way - it is truly awesome!
I would categorize this music as folk or folk-rock. However, on this particular CD, there is also a celtic-flare to several of the songs.
So, if you like "folk-rock"-type music & music that touches your heart, then this CD is for you! I honestly can't recommend it highly enough!
Not quite as strong as SAND AND WATER but close.......2005-07-16
HIGHLIGHTS:
"Every December Sky" uses the fallen leaves of autumn as a metaphor for mortality. ("And every leaf of fire lets go/melting in the arms of Earth and snow") Bonnie Raitt guests along with frequent songwriting partner Annie Roboff on "Wait for the Way", an ode to having patience while "time heals all wounds". The title track is the finest paraphrase of "it's better to have loved and lost" I've heard. A pennywhistle and Vince Gill's harmony bolster the track, summed up in its final line "you will always have what you gave to love". "Sleep" is Chapman's paean to world music, incorporating Native American flute, Tibetan bowl, Conch shell and street sounds of an Indian market in its unorthodox arrangement. Chapman imagines death as a place with "wondrous wings and blinded eyes/that see even beyond seeing/The same heartbreaking sorrow/The same unspeakable loveliness/All at the same time/How beautiful and sad". "Feathers Bones and Shells" reminds us of how fragile life is, that "nothing escapes/the wind blowing through/the feathers, bones and shells". Beth's accompanied only by her piano and John Catching's cello. "There's a Light" is a non-denominational hymn of sorts, asserting "To this world we will die/but our hearts know/We'll see more on that side/when the door opens wide/We will fly, we will fly/we will all go". The restrained arrangement never allows itself to crest into bathos. Emmylou Harris and Kimmie Rhodes add subtle harmony as Chapman ends the album with the antithesis of opener "World of Hurt".
LOWS:
The mechanized electronic drum drone of "All for the Love" feels out of place in the context of the mostly organic sounds Chapman has offered on the bulk of the album. It's no so much "poor" as poorly used. It might have been better held onto for a future project where it would sound of a piece. It may just be incredible coincidence, but "All Comes Down to Love" sounds AMAZINGLY close musically to the PUSH STARS "Drunk is Better than Dead". At least, I'm hoping it's just astounding coincidence. The acoustic guitar parts are identical..the song is OK but the smell of plagairism ruins it for me.
BOTTOM LINE:
This still is quite a contemplative album and not "sunny pop" by any means, but it's not as laden with melancholy as SAND AND WATER was. Though I feel S.A.W. was a better work of art, you may find yourself putting this one in the player more often.
Simple, beautiful, pure--.......2003-02-13
Listen to this with an open mind........2002-12-16
I consider this album to be special. This assumes that we can put aside inhibitions and listen openly to the content of the songs. Some are upbeat; many are slow and reflective.
As for the recording, the information informs us that numerous sites are used for the recordings. On good equipment this shows: in lack of clarity and in digital 'edge' to the voice. In what seems a common style in US C & W recordings, there is little ambience and the sound does not open up enough; my 'ScanSpeak' tweeters appear to have taken a vacation! A quick check with a digital editor shows clipping; with minor clip restoration, plus slight presence lift, the sound becomes more acceptable.
Do listen to the poetry...
Unspeakable loveliness!.......2002-07-12
This is an extremely moving CD from beginning to end. It might not lift your heart, but it will stir your soul. And art is about moving you in some way, even if it is not always upbeat and happy.
Other reviewers have commented on the famous singers who have lent thier talents to back-up vocals. This, I think, is a tribute to the strength of the material that Ms. Chapman has created.
Other reviewers have also commented on indvidual songs. The one that moved me most is called, "Sleep" as I recall. On it, Ms. Chapman sings of "The same heartcrushing sorrow, the same unspeakable loveliness... all at the same time." These lyrics could describe the entire CD.

Album Description
Doyle Lawson stands as one of the prime architects of modern bluegrass, with his career now spanning four decades. In addition to his achievements as an arranger, mandolin player, vocalist, and bandleader, Lawson is best known for infinitely widening the bluegrass gospel repertoire while ingeniously applying the rigorous precision of gospel harmony to secular songs. In the process, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver have been recognized with four consecutive Vocal Group of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association. For his Rounder Records debut, Lawson has assembled a stellar collection that highlights the continuing evolution of his unique vision. Joined by Jamie Dailey (guitar, vocals), Barry Scott (bass, vocals), Jesse Stockman (fiddle), and Terry Baucom (banjo, vocals), Lawson expertly weaves together elements of bluegrass, country, and gospel into a sound only definable as that of Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver.Customer Reviews:

Sorry ... Not One of DL&Q's best.......2005-08-09
Don't get me wrong, the musicianship and especially the vocals are top notch, but for me this does not make up for the material selected for this release. Go back and listen to some of the soulful and sincere music from their previous releases and then compare it to this album.
I will be going back to listen to Rock My Soul and the older DL&Q material and You Gotta Dig a Little Deeper will probably be a very infrequent visitor in my CD player. If this is how DL&Q is going to be with Rounder, then in my opinion we would all have been better off without that relationship.
- Scriptor
Tight, upbeat bluegrass.......2005-05-29
Lawson's fine mandolin and guitar playing are displayed throughout, and having passed the banjo to rejoining bandmate Terry Baucom, the band strikes a balance that keeps the extraordinary vocals front and center. Highlights include the train-whistle lost-love harmonies of "Heartbreak Number Nine," the title-cut's whimsical, folksy style, and the album's sole instrumental, "Rosine" (which is sure to have them dancing at summer festivals!). It's all put together so smoothly, that casual listeners might not catch the incredible heart and craft laid into this recording.
"Lawson weaves all the elements of bluegrass into his sound".......2005-04-27
Entire album is pure bluegrass from start to end...with the following tunes alphabetically and composer to boot:
BLUES FOR MY DARLING (Thomas Glenn Fletcher)
FOUR WALLS (Marvin Moore/George Campbell)
GIRL FROM WEST VIRGINIA (Clyde Denny/Marie Denny/Wade Hill)

WHAT AIN'T TO BE, JUST MIGHT HAPPEN (Porter Wagoner)
WHEN I'M KNEE DEEP IN BLUEGRASS (Pete Goble)
YOU GOTTA DIG A LITTLE DEEPER (Carl H. Caldwell)
Pure vocalizing with high tenor harmony ringing in your ears...Lawson's mandolin solos are simply one of a kind, he is the best...one can only hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Rounder Records, Lawson and Quicksilver...Doyle Lawson played on Gibson "Lawson Signature Model" Mandolin, Terry Baucom played on Gibson "Terry Baucom Model" Banjo...they use D'Addarlo Strings exclusively...now this is the way bluegrass should sound...and O Brother this is just the way we like 'em!

Album Description
The major new CD from folk/country legends, Robin & Linda Williams and their first release on Red House Records. "Deeper Waters" is a stunning recording that showcases their superior and much-admired songwriting, as well as their trademark harmonies (as haunting and fabled as the Louvin or Everly Brothers). The CD features eleven great originals (some co-authored with Tim O'Brien, Jimmy Fortune [Statler Brothers], Jerome Clark or Dakota Dave Hull). There is also a wonderful reworking of the the traditional "I'll Remember You Love in My Prayers." Admiring artists who have previously covered their songwriting include Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall, George Hamilton IV, Tim & Mollie O'Brien, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea and The Seldom Scene, but there is nothing like hearing a Robin and Linda song sung by the artists themselves. "Deeper Waters" features guest appearances by SISSY SPACEK and her daughter SCHUYLER FISK, IRIS DEMENT, MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER, & dobro master MIKE AULDRIDGE!Customer Reviews:
Good, close, personal, and accessible songs.......2004-04-24
On tour, guitarist Robin and clawhammer banjo-player Linda's "Fine Group" includes Jim Watson on electric bass and mandolin, and Jimmy Gaudreau on mandolin and mandola (a band member since 2000). Both bandmates appear in prominent roles on "Deeper Waters," but two other bassists (Mark Schatz, Kevin McNoldy) play that instrument. Fiddler Rickie Simpkins adds some beautiful fills and breaks to the mix.
With all strong originals and one traditional medley, "Deeper Waters" showcases the fine songwriting and arranging skills of Robin and Linda, whose collaborators include Dave Hull, Jerome Clark, Jimmy Fortune, Jim Watson and Tim O'Brien. All lyrics are included for their emotional and intimate songs of love, home, remembrances and memories, happy and sad. With a goal of presenting good, close, personal, and accessible songs, they looked to both older and newer material.
A contemplative ballad, "Whippoorwill," opens the project with a tale of a Kansas woman's sweet refrain for a North Dakota boy. A melodic and embracing "October Light" demonstrates Robin and Linda's tightly-blended and smooth duet singing. Turning up the tempo a notch on "Clarkfield" is a welcome treat. A sad perspective of the old prairie home and impending abandonment is portrayed in "Leaving This Land." The mandolin, banjo, and dobro riffs dance happily throughout "Home #235," a seemingly autobiographical song that speaks to their traveling life and love. A spirited "Old Plank Road" tells of potluck and picking down at Charlie's store.
The 7-minute traditional medley begins with "I'll Remember You Love In My Prayers" before its genesis drives into a toe-tappin' "Liza Jane" and "The Old Stillhouse." The duo's longing for deceased family and dear friends will be realized at their journey's end as they are "Saving Me A Place." This would've made a nice closer on Deeper Waters, but they instead chose "Lost Children," a ballad written with Tim O'Brien about emigrating Irish children and the safety that the future brings after they reunite with the parents.
Clearly with a strong kinship to traditional music, the Williams continue to provide fresh explorations that preserve the sound yet also innovate. Robin once told me that he puts on Bill Monroe when he wants to hear good music and get rejuvenated. Following the same innovative muse and spirit as Monroe, Robin and Linda only get so far from traditional sensibilities while maintaining themselves in the forefront of the ever-growing Americana movement.
Although this is only their first on the Red House Records (after a successful stint with Sugar Hill), I look forward to their continued collaboration with this fine Minnesota-based label known for its folk and Americana offerings. The duo's optimistic attitude towards change has always led them to new heights. Robin and Linda have now released seventeen albums, they're clearly not in any musical ruts, nor are they constrained by any boundaries. They continue to grow professionally. With their brand new songs and fresh look at some older material, the waters clearly do run deep for Robin and Linda Williams. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)
