90'a RnB reigns supreme!.......2007-01-26

This is one of the MANY amazing RnB albums that came out during the 1990's that had that jazzy/hiphop flavah. "Tell Me" is a powerful timeless song that I still bump to this day. "Keep Trying" is incredibly uplifting!
The only thing I don't like is that "Baby Luv" version on the CD is NOT the soulful groovy club version that bumps harder. The CD version is like some kind of throwback version. I don't really care for that one. Other than that this CD is tight.
But download the grooovy 'Just a touch'-sampled "Baby Luv". ;-)

THE BEST...OF THE SOULFUL ALBUMS.......2006-08-31

THIS ALBUM IS WORTH HAVING IN YOUR COLLECTION EVERY JAM WILL HAVE YOU REMEMBERING SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE...

Chill out soft jazz soul fusion.......2006-08-01

Great album to chill to. Nice soulful jazzy tracks. Great to have in the music collection.

It's Rare.......2006-07-08

I have listened to alot of cds in my time, and I have to say that "Groove Theory" is one of those rare times that all the music on the cd sounds fantastic. I have to admit, that I am taken back even more by this cd now that I am older and can appreciate the messages in the music.
If Groove Theory was just an experiment, it was, and still is successful.

Sure could use some of this in the RnB arena now..........2005-11-09

When I was in fifth grade back in 1995, I vividly remember the single "Tell Me", by the duo (Amel Larrieux & Bryce Wilson) Groove Theory being played on the radio. I was happy to discover when I purchased this album last week with my best friend (another music freak) that not only was that track still golden, but that the record itself was satisfying in 2005!

There is a great sense of melody & groove here. Utterly infectious, beat driven, yet not hollow. I wouldn't call the music heavy handed, but it isn't to soft either. Lyrically, the words move from romantic to urban fairy tales; not all of these ending happily, but always with a glimmer of hope. Amel's voice is gentle, yet doesn't get lost in the arrangements. Almost like a chameleon on a wall changing colors rapidly, Amel voice matches the lyrics & musical production (good job Mr. Wilson, where are you now?) of each track.

So, to cap off this extremely short & 'fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants' review, if you like quality RnB, pick this up.

Groove Junkies have crafted a style influenced by soul, funk, r&b, gospel, and Latin rhythms. Pumping grooves, uplifting lyrics, and undeniable hooks are their signature elements. DJ Fluid, founder and head honcho of Om, creates his diverse sound from combining everything from Chicago House to Nu Jazz to Brazilian rhythms. Chuck Love (aka Charlie Erickson) found his calling behind the decks and mic where the groove is musical and solid; good vibes flow out of the hi-fi as infectious hooks float, smoky chords punch, and solos fly.

All about Disc 1.......2006-12-20

Maybe I've gotten spoiled by Miguel Migs and some of Naked Music's offerings. Discs 2 and 3 of this set are some of the most monotonous sounding, unoriginal mixes and vibes I've heard in a while.

Disc 1 is a totally different story, however. HOT grooves, thumpin' bass, and powerhouse vocals scattered throughout make OM SUMMER SESSIONS worth buying. A couple of gospel house tunes were a very nice surprise on an early morning ride to work when I felt like going back to bed -- especially when the gospel diva herself, Ann Nesby, makes a thrilling appearance. She doesn't even sing on her own albums like she does here.

I guess performances like that and the overall goodness of the first disc were what set my expectation for the rest of the set, which is shockingly dull by comparison. 2/3 of this collection of tunes is mediocre so I can't give the complete set more than 3 stars.

That said -- disc 1 is one of the best dance discs extant, almost up there with Naked Music's stuff. You'll have to decide if it's worth the baggage that it carries with it, lol.

Funky grooves.......2006-08-24

It doesn't take very long to establish a groove on this 3 cd set: possibly 3 minutes at most. The funky quality of the album reminds me of the likes of Soulive. There are male vocals on pretty much every track on the first disc. This is my first house of Om compilation so there are crowd cheers on some of the tracks as it is supposed to be live. My favorite grooves on the first disc have to be Ron Hall's "The way you love me" and Frankie Knuckles "Disco Shimmy." Micky More's "Victory Dance" carries the second album well. It is surrounded by some alright tracks. Audiowhores "Not going back" establishes a nice groove with horns sounding and the album ends well with Fourfeet. DJFluid's whole set is good, and adds the techno edge to the cds. There are some cool bass lines on all 3 cd's and some decent female vocals. Overall, a good compilation of funky grooves.

Though she's made a name for herself in Boston as both a songwriter and as a chef, Mary Gauthier has little in common with her more refined New England folk brethren. Her aspirations and influences point toward the twangy lyricism of Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, and Townes Van Zandt. If the Louisiana native hasn't yet attained their mastery, she's headed in the right direction. Gauthier's first widely available release is filled with striking, unrepentant outcasts--from convicted murderess Karla Faye Tucker to, as she sings in the title song, "drag queens in limousines, nuns in blue jeans, dreamers with big dreams, poets and AWOL marines." Her characters are captured in words that are rarely sentimental, always keen, and often wise. Against a simple but vivid acoustic backdrop, Gauthier's thick drawl rings with the truth of deeply felt emotions. Whether in a peaceful love song or a brutally realistic vignette, Gauthier lends every line great affection, dignity, and respect. --Roy Kasten

Not pretty, but pretty brilliant!.......2006-03-17

I have not been able to take thus CD out of my deck. I'm not sure that is a healthy thing, as this music is not uplifting, and it's not pretty, it is down right brilliant poetic blues with understated accompaniment. Cut to the bone lines like "The truth is...hard to know so we go with points of view, now I count my lucky stars; (I used to count on you). If you are in the mood for some butt kicking self pity, by proxy of course, this is an album to get and er, enjoy, dark, dark dark.

Spare, stark, visceral, honest, grittyýbrilliant........2004-04-19

Last night I saw Mary Gauthier in concert, opening for John Prine. I'd never heard of her. As soon as she was finished with her set I went to the merchandise stall and bought this CD.

Drag Queens in Limousines is spare, stark, visceral, honest, gritty-all the things an honest folk music excursion is supposed to be. While many compare her style and substance to more contemporary musicians, who she reminds me of is a young, dynamic, angry and eloquent Bob Dylan. Her style is spare in the extreme-usually a guitar and some harmonica riffs make up the sum total of the musical support of these song. Her voice is also Dylan-esque-low and gravelly and charged with emotion. On the other hand, Mary has a knack for developing a light tune that enhances the story without detracting from it.

Charged with emotion would also describe most of these songs. "I Drink" is the unapologetic anthem of a feisty alcoholic who is aware of the disgust and opprobrium her habit and mere presence evince among those she encounter but who clearly doesn't give a hoot. Drag Queens is a tale of a runaway. Karla Faye the tale of a murderer.

This is gritty country-ish folk album. The characters and stories it tells are people on the margins and the woe that befalls them-and the innate spirit they have that keeps them going, head up, fighting to the end, all obstacles in their paths notwithstanding.

One senses that Ms Gauthier is not all that different form those she sings about. This lends an aspect of honesty and angst that permeates the whole exercise. This is a virtuoso performance and an extraordinary album. One can only hope that there are many more to come.

A lifetime ain't no time at all.......2003-03-26

Mary Gauthier writes songs in the vein of Lucinda Williams, and tells tales of life on the dirty boulevard in even rougher terms than Lucinda.
The CD contains songs about broken relationships, topless dancers, junkies, and misfits, and makes you wonder how much of it is autobiographical. Some might consider this subject matter depressing, but as you listen, a yearning for love and redemption emerges, and there's a sad sense of beauty in it all. In reading some of her road diaries on her website, it sounds like she's found at least some of the things she's been looking for, so don't be surprized if by the next CD, we'll hear more uplifting lyrics. Regardless, she's a great storyteller, something which isn't likely to change.

If you buy one CD this month..........2002-09-17

try this one. Think Bruce Springsteen "Nebraska" or anything John Prine, or Willie Nelson.... Heard "Drag Queens" on Boston radio WERS and had to own it. The rest of the album is terrific. Great lyrics, haunting melodies.

The Gauthier Way.......2001-02-15

This album was one of my great discoveries of the past year, a really pleasant surprise. For fans of really basic music, boiled down to brilliant traditional songwriting and a voice that hides nothing from you, this is a terrific purchase.

The sound is great: light guitars, stripped-down country backings all force Mary's great voice front and center. Good thing, too, because the words are often stunning, full of honey in their heartbreak. From relationships that appear to wear down like the nub of a pencil, to bleary nights spent holding up bar counters, Gauthier's lyrics plumb the depths of the dark and come up smelling sweetly of either gentle resignation or light laughter. Like Mark Eitzel, but without the near-constant self-flagellation, Gauthier seems to sing her way into self-discovery on each and every song. "Fish swim," she sings, and then, as if shrugging her way casually into her own true talent, "I drink."

The only bad thing I can say about this CD is that some of the songs sound a lot like each other, and that's only partly bad when songs sound that good.

One final thing: some of the publicity I've seen for this CD (including Mary Gauthier's website) has gotten into the annoying habit of trying to sell her life story rather than her music (ran away from home, big bad city, drink, drugs, yada yada yada; I have visions of Vanilla Ice screaming he's from the streets). The music speaks more about what Mary has been through/put herself through than any she-walks-the-walk marketing copy on a website is going to say. And Mary says it all better.

Incredible first album.......2002-12-20

This first album is incredible. Because it's wild, true and spontaneous. You know, Bob Dylan doesn't write songs like "Hattie Carroll" anymore. Mary does. We feel the raw rebel thing: she's herself from the marginal people, and she sings for them - though it's not conscious: there's not any commercialism here (what's worse than the commercialism of the rebel thing?).
Actually, with many other singer-songwriters not very well known, Mary incarnates what's so human, real and exciting about what we call the "americana" today, a musical world which stands wild and true because the artists are performers on the road who make music by love of music, whatever they sell records much or not. They don't mind of reaching a wide young audience, they don't care of the rock'n'roll circus ("Rock & Roll Lies").
If you love John Prine, Fred Eaglesmith, Slaid Cleaves, Greg Brown... you'll love Mary Gauthier. You're in the same world. I'm not sure this is the one of Ryan Adams.
Let's speak more about this first album: you hear a voice - a provocative, defiant voice (this is how sounded the 60's Dylan); you hear a sound, an immediate feeling - punchy on upbeat songs, with excellent players; the slow ballads are scotching: how can a person sound so right to your heart? "Goddamn HIV" is pure and straight, it's unbelievable. Now just tell me here's not a great singer-songwriter: only the best ones can make that. And how about the music? As a french I can just be moved by the melody of "Ever Easy", without paying attention to the lyrics (though they're excellent). Her tender singing must be for something as well.
There is also light and humorous stuff with "You're All I Wanna Do" ("the way you leave the bathroom gives me a heart attack"...).
That makes of "Dixie Kitchen" an album as unpretentious as involuntarily important, because it keeps the music alive, as long as the music will be done that way.

Down Home As Country's Gonna Get.......2002-07-06

The Fred Eaglesmith discussion list was abuzz with news of Mary Gauthier; so I decided to pick up her disc & see what all the fuss was about. Dixie Kitchen is about the most down home that country's likely to get. Mary didn't go to opera class to learn how to sing country; she doesn't pull any punches; she lays it on the line; and lays it down clean. "When you're 10 years old, it's cute to be a tomboy, but in a couple of years you gotta deal with the ways of the world," she sings on the opener, shouting out, "Sorry, Mom," as her live wire acoustic guitar sails through the song. The breakup song "I Don't Know Nothin' About Love" is a track that went past me the first few times with this CD, but now is one of my favorite tunes. "The Other Side of Free" with its slow mandolin is pretty good. In a most unlikely country setting, Gauthier does a real good job on the anti-AIDS ballad "Goddamn HIV." "I've been a queer since the day I was born," she sings from a gay man's point of view recounting the ravages of that brutal disease. "Old Love Never Dies" is a soft song that she as much moans as sings. "You're All I Wanna Do" is a lustful country tune with a bouncy guitar line, "Sexual satisfaction turned into a chicken fight." Matt Leavenworth's gorgeous fiddle enhances the simple melody of "Ever Easy," "I don't want to leave you; and I don't want to stay; I don't want to keep going on this way." "Skeleton Town" is a peppy little tune about terminal illnesses. In "Rock & Roll Lies" Gauthier references Jack Kerouac, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Elvis Presley & Jim Morrison with a vocal holler straight from Hank Williams, "What's left when the glory consumes you & you can't tell the truth from the lies, while the one thing you still believe in, you must sell to whoever will buy." She nails the contradictions of popularity and commercialism. The CD concludes with country hoedown "Mama Louisiana." Mary Gauthier's music is rustic, rough edged, not perfect pitched -- she won't be doing duets with Celine Dion. But on Dixie Kitchen, she sings with honesty; her music is about something; and the musicianship is first rate. U snooze U lose!

Sometimes you hear the best music from the most unlikely sources--I heard the song "One" from Brazil Remixed on an especially spooky CSI. At first I did not recognize the song as Three Dog Night's "One" is the loneliest number, but when I did, this remix fit the CSI story to a tee. Great musical selection.

My Songs are your songs? Song Swapping Gone Mad!.......2004-04-13

When I first saw this last summer, I was thinking "Man does this look familiar..." It didn't have anything to do with the music, but the cover - I knew I saw it before. And low and behold when I was home I pulled out this massive conglomerate of a 6 disc Decadance chillout compilation titled: "The Ultimate Chillout Album" and saw pretty much the exact same cover... just on a different wall. Seroiusly, have a look. B00006JSHV. Already you know this isn't the most original of releases.

Still, it's not a bad cd. You've got some lounge cuts, some bossa cuts, alternative takes and remakes and general feel good bossa and samba mixed in. Artists include Maya FS, Mo'Horizons, Da lata and many others as they mix and match styles and skills on this semi-mixed compilation. However this cd isn't without fault. I found some of the songs a bit annoying over time ("Fancy" and "One" come to mind) and the Italian bossa Buweyah seems like more of a "Sister Bossa" modeled track than this. And if you have heard "Cafe Samba", which has literally stripped off tracks from this compilation and put them onto that one, this will hardly sound new to you but of course that's at no fault of this compilation's own. Odd, but I know exactly what the previous reviewer meant when he/she said that a song was a bit embarassing as some songs seemed to force the Braziliance with cliche'd sounds and loops.

All in all, I would say this is a solid release but not one of the best I own. There are just so many nu-Brazil cd's out there - this is one I'd say to take a pass on if you're comparing with Brazilectro (usually 2 discs of good tunes) or Glucklich (mixed by Rainer Truby). But if you're looking and deciding between this and Cafe Samba I'd recommend Cafe Samba instead. IMO it has the better all around songs. The Italian Bossa mixes in since they went on and stripped cuts from Pyramide's Cafe Noir series... who of course stripped songs from Irma's "Sister Bossa" series. Talk about song taking gone crazy! So there are a few suggestions if you like this - but just watch the group names/song titles for carry-over before you buy any of them.

silky tunes, lyrics questionable.......2003-08-12

I have quite a collection of songs in portuguese. Although this is Brazil remixed, the songs just don't quite make it. There are some cool songs, like samba numeiro 9 or felicidade, but number one has a great beat, but "one is a lonely number". It's a bit odd to listen to, kinda embarrassing.

Anyway, the tunes are silky, and soothing, but other cds are more effective. Maybe try Cateano Veloso for something real and Bossa Nova from Putumayo.

Impressive.......2003-05-29

This is an impressive CD. Very melodic and sophisticated but still grooves nicely without sinking into "ambience".
HIGHLY recommended!

Great beats. The remixes featured here aren't as good as the originals. Reminds me of Salt n Pepa with more techno. Great spin music. 'I Got My Education' 12" vinyl with MAW remixes is the best!

Every Song a Party Unto Itself.......2004-07-07

I am a dancer and this is without a doubt one of the "twitchiest" albums I have ever heard--it makes me practicaly twitch with the need to immediately get up and dance. Consider it equal parts disco and female rap with a tiny touch of techno. Each song builds to its own unique climax just beautifully; there is good variety to the rhythms; and the lyrics are actually kind of interesting (to me, anyway). Social dancers, prepare to hustle, west coast and swing to slightly brisk tempos; freestylers, prepare to go nuts! The loud, sassy, talky vocal delivery from the female lead singer may grate on some people but not on me; I find it refreshing. Songs are a little longer than your normal dance number but when the music is this good, who cares! Where ARE these people and why don't they put out another album?

Incredible vocal set...but so many rareties in short versions..........2006-01-18

I've awaited this Junior Vasquez mix for months, and would say song selection wise, it's just about one of the best commercial mixes he's ever done, selecting gems that finally reflect his true peak hour moments at the clubs. But, it's unfortunate to find that we're only given about 5 minutes of many of these exclusive mixes you can't get anywhere else, including the Deborah Cox and the Destiny's Child. Also surprising is junior's decision not to use his own mixes of tracks by Jason Walker and Simone Denny, the diva responsible for the vocals on Widelife's Queer Eye theme song. Junior's alter ego "ellis d" is here with a simple tribal track that samples the line "y'all got enough yet" from Vernessa Mitchell's "this joy". And Whitney's mom Cissy even makes an appearance on a Dynamix production, probably her first club track in decades. By the way--the junior mix of Destiny's Child's ballad is total cheese, and not a shining club moment for either artist or remixer. As Abigail once sang, "if it don't fit, don't force it."

Let's hope Junior does more mixing for party groove compilations. Track times:
