Product Description

Powerhouse Records is proud to present the latest release from our "Guitarchives" Series--"Danny Gatton Live In 1977-The Humbler Stakes His Claim" This release is comprised of newly discovered and previously unheard recordings made by Danny Gatton's sound engineer Chris Murphy throughout 1977 and 1978. What distinguishes these recordings from other live recordings is that these recordings were actually made with microphones placed in the audience, so there is a real feeling of being right there in the club with glasses clanking and audience responses, rather than the more sterile sound of a "board mix".
The set list features some Gatton repetoire standbys such as "Harlem Nocturne" two very different versions (one which features a cameo by the late Dick Heintze on Hammond Organ), "Fingers On Fire", Nit Pickin'", "Canadian Sunset" and two scorching renditions of "Sweet Georgia Brown" as well as obscure songs like Cal Tjader's "Soul Sauce" and two Blues numbers: the slow blues "Danny's Blues" and the shuffle "Walkin' With Danny".
A must for Gatton and guitar fans!!!!!!!

For fans of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, et al., this is the essential cartoon soundtrack as well as a monument to surrealism. During his 22 years as a composer for Warner Bros. animated shorts, Stalling invented the musical vocabulary of cartoons. Producer Hal Willner has lovingly assembled a sonic collage that showcases Stalling's compositional genius and uncanny ability to borrow a tune. It's a whirling collection of random moments, chock full of music you never knew you knew, from Bugs Bunny's theme from "Rabbit Fire" to Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" to Stalling's own "Woo! Woo!" Also included in the mix: outtakes from recording sessions, and several complete scores. --Heidi MacDonald

Best compilation CD ever.......2007-02-18

Carl Stalling gave me the best musical education I ever had. I'm spending the rest of my life learning the titles and composers of all the hundreds of tunes I first heard in his cartoon scores. I've had this CD ever since it came out, and it still is one of my favorites.

Only a handful of tracks are a complete score from one cartoon; most are snippets from several cartoons edited together with a common theme.

This CD is about a composer and his music, more than about the cartoons for which he composed it. To drive home this point, it includes the score from, of all things, 1939's "The Good Egg." No one would consider "The Good Egg" to be among the best Warner cartoons, but the score, heard by itself, turns out to be a tour de force that is highly representative of Stalling's work. That's what makes this CD such a great listening experience: It was pieced together by musicologists who chose the music based on its auditory qualities, and not on the relative fame of the cartoon associated with it. It is not merely a trip down memory lane (although it is that, too), but is a great creative work in its own right.

Despite the vast amount of Stalling music that exists, this CD provides as ambitious and exhaustive an overview as can be given, and its 1995 follow-up, while also worth having, is but a pale afterthought. There's no following this act.

Here we go........2006-11-16

This CD features music from the Warner Brothers cartoon film scores by Carl Stalling. There are some complete scores and also some "medleys", with clips from various cartoons strung together. Carl Stalling was a master at writing music for cartoons, but something is lost when you just hear the music without seeing the cartoon.

Stallings CDs.......2006-11-10

If you harken back to the days when you snuggled on the couch on a Saturday morning with your little ones, and ate donuts and drank juice and watched "Bugs Bunny" you will love these CDs. You'll recognize all the characters and their entrances and their pratfalls...and laugh and say "I've heard that!"...it's a walk down memory lane and a very special one, at that. I highly reccommend these to anyone who loves B Bunny.
Not to mention these are some of the finest musicians you will ever hear...a lesson in classical music, and cartoons.

The Carl Stalling Project.......2005-09-12

Music from Warner Brothers cartoons "Golden Years" (1936-1958).
Carl Stalling was the chief music arranger for Warner Brothers cartoons from 1936 to 1958. He was one of the foremost composers of cartoon music. This disk is much better than "The Carl Stalling Project Volume II."

Warner Brother's King of Music.......2003-12-02

Even if you do not recognize his name, Carl Stalling is a very familiar composer. He wrote the soundtrack for many of our young lives as the composer for Warner Bros.' "Merrie Melodies" and "Looney Tunes" cartoons from late 1930's to late 1970's. Hal Willner has compiled this CD that for the first time lets you hear the music on its own, and lets you realize just how much of the cartoons' impact came from Stalling's music.

Willner sifted through hundreds of cartoons to choose about 40 with the most significant music. He presents the music in a variety of formats. A few tracks provide the soundtrack for a single entire cartoon. Others are medlies from a certain period in Stalling's career or pieces that set a particular mood (such as the "Anxiety Montage"). There are also tapes from recording sessions for 1951's "Putty Tat Trouble" that give insight on how this music was recorded. I couldn't recommend this CD any more highly. (After you've given it a listen, check out a Raymond Scott "best of" album like "Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights" to see just how many of its tracks are familiar from various cartoons.)

Stalling's music, instead of following the traditional rules of musical structure (exposition, development, theme, variations, etc.), was written to follow the rapid action of cartoons. Stalling would not compromise on this, even if it meant having the 50-piece orchestra play fortissimo for five seconds and then having only one piccolo playing the next four seconds. To ensure a perfect correspondence between the sound and the image, Stalling and the cartoon's directors would agree on a few sketches and on the timing of the action. This enabled Stalling to compose and record the music without even seeing the movie. Carl Stalling was also a master at telling a story through music, with gestures so clear, that there is never any doubt as to his intentions.

Stalling once said, "One problem with cartoons today is that they have so much dialogue the music doesn't mean much." Unfortunately, this statement rings true as we move into 2004. But keeping Carl Stalling from rolling in his grave is not why you need to buy this CD. You need it because it is IMPOSSIBLE to maintain a bad mood while this CD is playing. You need this to listen to as a stress reducer on those tough days. You need this because it is complete childhood in a disc.

I challenge you to turn on your television and watch some Looney Tunes. Turn up the volume and listen while doing something else (wash dishes, write a paper perhaps.) I guarantee you will know exactly what is happening, and to whom. This was the comedic skill and genius talent of Carl Stalling.

As Porky Pig would say: "abieh-abieh-abieh... That's All Folks!"

Album Description

Powerhouse Records is proud to offer another classic release in our "Guitarchives" series, a re-issue by the Legendary Danny Gatton. "Unfinished Business" was first released in 1987 for NRG Records and was Danny's last studio album before signing with Elektra Records in 1991.

The album is a typical Gatton eccelctic mix of Roadhouse/Honky Tonks style of American roots music; Blazing Country style Twangin' Instrumentals, Blues, Classic Swing Jazz, 50's style R&B, and timeless Ballads. In the mix of Gatton originals and Standards and Classics there are two bonus cuts: "Nit Pickin'" which was a Guitar Player Magazine soundpage from 1989, and did much to bring Danny's phenomenal Guitar playing to a wider International audience, and a previously un-released version of "Quiet Village" recorded in 1975 which later showed up on Danny's Major label debut album "88 Elmira St" on Elektra Records.

The album has been-re-mastered with a fat shimmering sound perfectly suited to enhance the sparkling "Twangy" Guitar sounds that are the Hallmark of the Danny Gatton Guitar sound.The re-designed package has new art work and a great cover photo of a very young Danny Gatton by Bob Berman as well as the original front cover art re-produced as the tray card art.

Titles include Nit Pickin', Lappin' It Up, Melancholy Serenade, Sky King, Homage To Charlie Christian, Sleep Walk, Fingers On Fire, Cherokee, Notcho Blues, and Quiet Village.

Legendary guitar........2006-12-01

Danny Gatton is a guitar genius. Everything is pristine, clean, and totally flawless. Nothing short of fantastic. Nit Pickin' & Sleepwalk are the strongest. His style on guitar cannot be outdone.

Finally they released this again !.......2005-05-27

Oh Yeah ! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yeah! The did it! Finally they did it! They released again "Unfinished business" which was the last album I didn't have from Danny Gatton! Yeah! My collection is now complete! I own everything Danny has ever recorded and published! I own the "whole story"! And what an incredibly story that has been! Danny was an amazing player, he was able to play every imaginable american music style with the best of them and probably better than the best players of each style! Jazz, rockabilly, blues, chickenpicking, surf, slide, acoustic, ballads, bluegrass everything, he could play everything with great authority and he hated to be categorized in just one of those kinds of playing because he knew he was able to play marvellous music in all those styles. Try to figure out that it happened in the nineties that Guitar Player Magazine readers voted him as the best country guitar player and he did never record a pure country album in his life! Talking about a spectacular player that could outplay every cat in the biz! But after all, he played something that was really personal out of all those influences. He play very good music not a bunch of licks taken from here or there. This album is among his best in my opinion together with "Redneck Jazz", "Redneck Jazz Explosion", "Relentless" with Joey De Francesco and few more. It's simply Danny at the top of his game. He was a living encyclopedia of american music. His '53 telecaster in his hands was able to produce some truly breathtaking rollercoaster music. He is one of the very few guys that have left me asking "How did he do that?" (to quote a very wellknown Eddie Van Halen phrase about Allan Holdsworth). I mean, "unifinished Business" is Danny at his best. And "When he's on, he's probably the best there is" (just to quote another wellknown statement, this time from Jimmy Page talking about Jeff Beck). Noone played the american music like Danny did. If you don't know Danny this one is a very good place to start. If you know Danny and you don't own this album you know what you're missing.

Will knock your socks off!.......2005-01-06

This is one of my favorite albums by Danny. It is a true potpourri of styles (but isn't that what Danny was all about?), and if anyone doubts that Danny was the greatest guitarist to walk on this sweet earth ... well just listen to this CD.

"Sleepwalk" had been in Danny's repertoire for many years when this was recorded, but he plays it with such feeling, such inventiveness, such utter mastery of his instrument, that if it were a painting, it would be hanging in the Louvre. This is a cut to be treasured, listened to over and over ... it grows more beautiful with each repeated listening.

"Notcho Blues" is, I think, a tribute to Roy Buchanan, Danny's elder fellow Tele player, from whom he picked up a lot of guitar. Roy has a similar sounding cut on one of his albums, except his blues stays on the tonic for the entire piece. Danny stays on the tonic for an extended period, but then moves to the subdominant and completes the blues form. This is done so dramatically and with such soul, that it will blow you away. Awesome!!

"Fingers on Fire" shows Danny's humorous side as well as demonstrating his monster technique. It is the musical equivalent of a Marx Brothers movie.

"Cherokee" is Danny's tribute to his first musical influence, Les Paul. He does an admirable job imitating Les, with the help of some overdubbing.

"Lappin' it Up" is played on a lap steel guitar, and The Charlie Christian piece is played on a big Gibson.

"Melancholy Serenade", Jackie Gleason's TV theme, is given the royal treatment. This cut shows why Danny was really one of a kind: he didn't play his guitar like most other guitarists. On this cut, he plays it as if it were a tenor saxophone. His solo is so funky, so full of soul, you can imagine Cannonball Adderly (on tenor) playing it (his lines are definitely not those of a guitarist). He could make his Tele sound like a B-3 organ, a pedal steel, a cow bell, etc.

The other songs are equally delightful. This CD is a must for any fans of Danny, of guitar, or just of plain great music.

Album Description

The master of the Fender Telecaster, the late Roy Buchanan is commemorated on a archival CD release by Powerhouse Records. The CD, titled Roy Buchanan: American Axe Live in 1974, features highlights from two searing club sets Buchanan played over 30 years ago. All the material is previously unreleased. The music on this hour-long disc reveals Roy Buchanan at the height of his awe-inspiring powers, delivering soulful ballads, wrenching blues, and raw rock 'n roll for the small club audiences he preferred. Devotees of blues, rock, country, and jazz will find here the tone, technique and emotive power of a masterful performer whose work still overshadows those he influenced. It's clear from these recordings why guitarists and music industry insiders from the 1950's to this day include Buchanan among a handful of the most original and influential players. The CD's set list includes Buchanan classics such as "The Messiah Will Come Again" (a first-ever live version), his siganture "Roy's Bluz", "Hey Joe" (a tribute to Jimi Hendrix) and the hypnotic lament "Sweet Dreams". The balance of songs draws on classics from the golden age of American popular music, including "C.C. Ryder", "I Hear You Knockin'", Get Out Of My Life, Woman", and "Further On Up The Road", delivered in Buchanan's trademark fashion, seductive yet riveting, grooving and explosive. Phil Carson, author of the book Roy Buchanan: American Axe

Talent, Soul, and Heart.......2007-03-19

During the brief time spent on this planet, Roy Buchanan played to a small cult of diehard blues fans and serious guitar students.
That was it.
Everyday day now, more and more people are "discovering" Roy and wishing they could have been there.

Solid guitar licks.Sound quality on some songs are raw........2007-03-15

The first song really rocks,its the best on the cd and there are three other songs that are heavy rockers too.
However, the only problem I have with the cd is that a few tunes sound like they were taped from a hand held recorder in the third row.
Almost like it was a bootleg tape.
Other then that small problem it's a cd I've played again and again.
After all, Buchanan is one of the top ten best guitar players ever!!!!!

Mott's American Axe.......2006-08-04

If you had to make up a list of the top 5 most technically brilliant and influential guitarist in the world of rock music, it would be a very hard job and one that would be open to a mountain of debate . But if pushed in no particular order I would come up with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, and Roy Buchanan. If you were just going for influence then a few more names would have to come into the frame ,Robert Johnson,Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page,even the likes of Toni Iommi and all would come in. For just plain technique some of the new guys would have a say Satriani, Vai or Stevie Ray Vaughn would have a shout, and more than a handful of votes. But to combine the two I would have to stick to my original five. Now three of those might be up to negotiation,but not Jimi or Roy.
We all know Jimi Hendrix , the man was a genius, no question there,changed the way people played the six string, what a showman too, setting fire to his guitar, playing with his teeth etc.He wrote songs that will remain classics until we blow up this little planet of ours. Jimi Hendrix was the male sex symbol of his time to boot, liked by all who met him. The man had everything except for enough real friends to keep him alive. If a star ever burnt brighter as it raced across the sky before crashing to earth ,the earth would not have stood it.
If Roy Buchanan stood at those crossroads with the devil to make a deal , he did not make as good a deal as Jimi did. Oh sure he could play guitar ,by the time he was twelve there was nobody that could touch him. But he certainly never got the looks, stage charisma, writing ability, or the ability to get along with people. If you were a friend of Roy Buchanan you had a loyal friend but if you crossed the man, real or imagined you were written out of the book. Throughout his career he had a reputation as being difficult to get along with ,how much of this was deserved is up to conjecture, but certainly his relationship with Jack Daniels ,does not seemed to have helped matters.Roy Buchanan was found dead in a police cell in his hometown of Reston Virginia, he had been arrested for being drunk and disorderly,and later found dead, the circumstances were considered very suspicious, but like a lot of things will remain a mystery.
But at the end of the day it is the music that counts ,and when Roy Buchanan picked up a guitar he could make it dance ,sing, or anything.'American Axe' is a fine example of Roy Buchanan live on stage . Backed by friends who were also all superb musicians ( He could not have been all bad) .These recordings are all gems and give you a fair idea of what the man must of been like in concert. The show opens up with the MC introducing Roy Buchanan as the best guitarist to have stepped the boards, and Roy gets up there to prove the guy right.
The band stretch out on opening song 'Too Many Drivers' in similar style to the way the Rolling Stones would open with ' Jumpin' Jack Flash' just loosening up the band , the rhythm section slips into its groove , and Malcolm Lukens even gets to put in a short solo just to get his fingers going ,before the governor comes in with the first of many guitar breaks that lift the roof off the place. A good place to start , preparing you for what is to come .
Next up is Roy Buchanan's own 'Roy's Bluz' a walkin',talkin' blues , allowing Roy to rap about how he feels , before hitting out at the audience with some sparkling stun guitar .At nearly nine minutes long Roy Buchanan has plenty of time to tell you what he thinks , and to stun the audience with his guitar, and when he calls out " When I get to hell" with such certainty, the guitar licks that follow it send shivers up and down your arms.' Get Out Of My Life, Woman' is the band giving the blues groove a seventies feel, the only song on the album that is to be more dominated by the keyboards than the guitar, the problem with this band was that they did not have a really talented vocalist amongst them all. As well as the keyboards Malcolm Lukens gets his turn to sing on this number , and while it is not a bad job, you really paid your money to hear Roy Buchanan play guitar.
'C.C. Rider' is then trundled out for a ten minute workout , where we the paying audience start to get what we paid for Roy Buchanan playing guitar, and although the inclusion of so many covers does show up the weakness in Roy Buchanan's song writing abilities , the old chestnut is turned on its head and the guitarist devours it , taking it from a slow blues to a rip roarin' climax.To bring the emotion level down , but the tempo up we are then treated to quick romp through Dave Bartholomew's 'I Hear You Knockin' . Then it is back to the serious business with ' The Messiah Will Come Again' which is begun by a sombre Roy Buchanan with a spoken introduction,before playing some of the most dramatic guitar on the album, making every note count showing it is not what you play but ,how you play it, a fine centrepiece to the album. On 'Done Your Daddy Dirty' Roy Buchanan turns the tables by reverting to the old adage if you have got it flaunt it , just ripping up the rule book, and shredding his guitar strings for seven solid minutes, by which time the band have given up any hope of keeping up with him, and you feel they would rather just sit back and applaud. This is what Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin wanted to sound like.
How could Roy Buchanan possibly mess this up by next playing 'Hey Joe'? Well he does , the guitar playing as you would expect is straight out of the top drawer and a fine example to any budding young guitarist. But the vocals are appalling, weak at best, with Roy Buchanan sounding as if he was standing six feet from the microphone. When Jimi Hendrix did Billy Roberts song he sounds as though he means every word of the lyrics, you knew that Jimi was going to shoot his old lady down, here it sounds if the lyrics are being read from a book . The guitar playing is outstanding though, with a nice touch at the end when the band break into a refrain of 'Foxy Lady' to bring the song to a rockin' end with a nice nod to his fallen comrade.
Perhaps wisely bass player John Harrison then gets his turn at the vocals , as the band thunder through 'Johnny B. Goode' . No complaints here for this , and it is interesting to notice the different way that Buchanan and Hendrix, handled covering these two songs , both differently, but also brilliantly,hard to say who comes out on top in the guitar playing stakes. By now the band are really enjoying themselves and have a party playing ' Further On Up The Road' with Byrd Foster huffing and puffing behind his drum kit as he handles the vocal duties.
To close the show Roy Buchanan dismantles and then puts back together Don Gibson's 'Sweet Dreams', when people say they heard a guitar sing this is the sort of thing they were talking about.A stunning way to bring the show to it's conclusion.Later Mick Ronson would play his own version of this as the centrepiece to his solo spot whilst touring with Ian Hunter.
If anyone disagrees with my assessment of the worlds most influential and technical top 5 guitarists have a listen to 'American Axe ' and it may well change your mind.

The 'Greatest...' Live!!!! Who will contest this?.......2006-03-13

Once again, It's Roy at his finest! I really enjoy the early/mid seventies live Roy recordings more than the 80's stuff (they are great as well, but theres something about the 70's). Anyway, awesome playing, great songs, maybe not as good of singing as "Livestock" but an excellent album!!

solid guitar playing.......2006-01-29

very awesome cd, live is the only way to hear this guy. he's great. really really underrated. i always heard his name and decided to pick some of his stuff up. he has an interesting guitar tone. he plays the tele with a very trebly sound. most guys don't play with this sound so this is refreshing to hear. but he's good. check him out if you're fan of blues at all.

The songs are happy sounding, chirpy and fun, especially the souped up version of the PowerHouse. Comes with a burp in front that I could react to! If you like happy sounding instrumental music, this would be it!

Disappointment and irritation.......2000-08-01

This CD contains 16 tracks, some from Walt Disney "Fantasia" and one (track #11) presented as the recording of "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" from the full length cartoon-movie "Melody Time". Beware: it has got nothing to do with that enthusing performance, in boogie-woogie rhythm, by an excellent piano soloist (Freddie Martin? Teddy Wilson?) accompanied by a string-and-winds orchestra. It is, rather, a very banal rendition of Rimsky-Korsakoff's piece. Considering that I ordered this CD just for this piece (I have all others of classical music, from "Fantasia" in excellent recordings, I was disappointed and irritated when I tried to listen to the jazzed-up rendition of RK's music. This is a misrepresentation on part of the label (Sony). I don't think it's casual that the title of this piece, presented on the detail page as track #11 in the "List to Samples" section, disappears altogether from the following section ("On This CD"). If you are keen on Bugs Bunny and other rabbits, go ahead and buy this record. I'll be grateful to anybody (to the tune of $10) who can tell me where I can find a recording of the piece, such as I heard it on "Melody Time".

How many years ...........2007-03-12

... since "Open All Night" (actually their second album)! Nighthawks is one of best bar bands ever, but it was not easy to replace Jimmy Thackery, who quit in 1986. More recently, also Jan Zukowski left. Paul Bell and Johnny Castle are not beginners and provide very solid fret work; as a result this "Blue Moon in your eye" is Nighthawks' best effort in years. Owing to the mix of rock'n'roll/blues/rock songs, there are a few weak moments - a constant feature throughout Nighthawks' life - which may disappoint blues "hardliners", though slow blues are terrific. Great singing and drumming from Pete Ragusa.

Protean, Dynamic, Inspiring!.......2004-05-20

One of the great slights in Irish Traditional Music has been the lack of recognition for Andy Irvine. That Irvine remains such a seminal unsung, no make that unheralded, figure in the Celtic Music is one of the most upsetting anamolies and aberrations in the world of Music itself. Those who have paid even passing attention to this protean influence know that he has been at the very heart of all things Irish, Celtic, Balkan, American from his very first days, and that in spite of the great acclaim afforded others, quite justifiably, none of them would have acheived what they did had it not been for Andy Irvine's contributions, discipline and direction. From the very start of the Celtic Renaissance in music, Andy arrived fully informed of his tradition and with a wealth of influences from having lived throughout the Balkans, part gypsy, part Woody Guthrie, and it is those confluences that have shaped him into becoming one of the most beguiling artists to ever open the ears of his listeners. When Christy Moore called upon him for the PROPSEROUS sessions, he was calling on a musician who was already light years ahead of his colleagues. While providing Planxty with an edge that no other prior Irish group has ever had, and in most cases still don't < Irvine blew down the doors of expectations and brought with him the world in which he had wandered. We owe him such an enormous debt of gratitude. His impact on his Planxty colleagues Molloy, Moore and Lunny, and later Whelan, O Flynn and Spillane, are what made later developments such as RIVERDANCE musically and ontologically possible. While the world fixated on Flatley and Ivers and who knows who, in fact, had it not been for Irvine's collaboration with Spillane on EAST WIND, that entire circus would never have started.
So, now arrives this most extraordinary CD, and I would tell you that if you honestly and deeply love Celtic/Balkan/American music, you will find no better exposition of it in the course of your life than this marvellous outing. Wandering about Australia with colleague Rens Van Der Zalm, Irvine conceived a concert tour of such inspiring dimensions that he knew who he needed on board to make it happen. Nikola Parov, a friend from the EAST WIND and RAINY SUNDAYS sessions, Bill Molsky from the American side of the equation and Donal Lunny came on board to create this masterpiece, which features many highlights from Andy's career and influences.
He is, as always, the Irish Woody Guthrie, and certainly that comes through in his homage to his hero, "Never Tire of The Road." It is quintessentially Guthrie, and equally so Irvine. The accompaniement throughout plays to the strengths of all the msuicians. Lunny, for his part, had only to contribute the high end to Irvine's leads, and then produce what was an exceptionally well recorded concert. It must be of enormous relief to him not to have to shoulder the whole thing, and I'm not sure that in spite of his own talents, there was anything he could have added that Irvine had not already set in motion. Parov brings that Balkan drive to the fore in the meat of the Romanian, Slavic, and Macedonian proceedings, all of which astound you in the hairpin execution of complex and compelling time signatures. And yet this is just as passionately evoked dance music as it is a test for a musician's prowess. Molsky and Irvine creatively connect the way that traditional musics washed upon the shores of America and impacted what had arrived prior thereto. It is just a wonder to listen to the bleed of Eastern European, to Irish to Appalachian musics as they find new cross-fertilizations.
And through it all shines Irvine and Van Der Zalm, the core duo that drives, inspires, guides, and demands of the colleagues all and everything. This is a concert that demands you stand and cheer as lustily as your heart and soul can muster. It is positively a career defining moment for all of them. It would be positively criminal for this CD not to reach and impact a larger audience. If you buy this (and you must!), compel others to listen. In very short order I have found the folks I've lent this to, enthralled and asking that same question: "Where has this guy been and I wish I knew about him sooner". Well, you have heard him. No Irish artist alive, and even some now dead, who has heard Irvine can say they were not influenced by him. Irish music itself would not be what it is today, had it not been for the arrival of Andy Irvine. Come listen to this, get inside this man's avocation, and it is very much a calling for him. He is as no other has been. Every one who comes after is by virue of him. And this is an inspiring document.

World music as it oughta be made!.......2004-05-08

Irish folk veterans Andy Irvine and Donnal Lunny collaborate with American old-timey phenom Bruce Molsky, as well as Dutch guitarist Rens Van Der Zalm and Nikola Parov, of Hungary. All five are virtuoso multi-intrumentalists, well versed in many styles of music beyond their primary field of expertise. Irvine, who has long been enamored of Eastern European music, is the group's guiding force, and for the first part of this album, they work through a Celtic-flavored set that seems like familiar territory. Then, as the Balkan and gypsy influences come into play, including some remarkable cross-cultural medleys, the unique capabilities of this super-talented quintet become more apparent. This is a fine set of lively, soulful, acoustic world folk, vigorous and and unadulterated by any of the saccharine touches that many modern folkies use to "soften" the rough spots of their intercultural fusions. No need for that here -- these guys are so powerfully skilled that they can zip from one style to the next without batting an eye. It's a tour de force performance -- definitely worth checking out.

Essential multi-genre MOZAIK.......2004-04-19

I am typing this listening to the new cd from "MOZAIK" Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Bruce Molsky, Nikola Parov and Rens van der Zalm and I recommend it to you all. It is a wonderful live concert that blends Irish, American Old Time, Romanian, Hungarian, Macedonian and Dutch music and is a 'must' for any cd collection.First envisioned by venerable vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Irvine (Sweeney's Men,de Dannan,Planxty, Patrick Street), Mozaik is the ultimate global stringband-a truly international ensemble who can not only perform music from a wide array of cultures, but interweave their myriad influences into an entirely new sound. Mozaik moves effortlessly from Celtic to old-tyme to Eastern European music, with intricate string arrangements complementing Andy and Bruce's plaintive vocals. As the first recorded evidence of a major new collaboration in roots music, Live From the Powerhouse is essential listening for fans of any and all international acoustic music. Mozaik was only about two and a half weeks into their 2002 tour of Australia when they decided to record two concerts at Brisbane's Powerhouse Centre for the Live Arts. Out of those March 30-31 performances came "Live From the Powerhouse. Instruments played on this cd are bouzouki, mandolin, harmonica, guitar, bodhrán, fiddle, 5-string banjo, gadulka, gaida, kaval, tin whistle, clarinet, kalimba, mandolin.

Album Description

This is an eclectic mix of music -- at times, blues, jazz, southern rock, country, funk & even folk. Often times it's a mixture of all these styles which makes up the sound of the music of Blue Mother Tupelo. There's something on this disc for everyone who loves music with soul. Great female/male vocal interplay and harmonies as well as outstanding guitar which all intermingles with sharp production. The musical journey on this disc will take you through the sounds and vibes of the American South while capturing life's experiences in its songs. This is truly a solid, wonderful album from beginning to end.

Good get down music!.......2002-03-08

This is a great CD! I'm so happy that I ran across it here. The jams are tight & loose at the same time. Good swampy stuff and downright soulfull. I'll be keeping my eyes out for anything else Blue Mother Tupelo comes out with. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves music that jams with a southern Mississippi/swampy Louisiana/high lonesome Appalachian mountain combination. And their other CD rocks too ... I've got them both! What a band! 5 stars!!!!

I love it!!!!.......2001-10-04

What a refreshing CD! I really love the down & dirty grooves throughout this CD. All of the songs are powerful and full of emotion from beginning to end. This is a must-have CD for anyone who loves real downhome tunes from the blues to bluegrass - it makes you want to boogie as well as reflect on life itself. 5 stars indeed!!!!!
