Adam Plack (Nomad), together with Aboriginal songmen Bobby Bunnungurr, David Gulpilil, and Jimmy Jidamin, created Songman in the Aborignal territory known as Ramingining. A cohesive blend of ancient traditionals, landscape-influenced sound, and contemporary groove, Songman is a strange and enchanting mix of chant, phat funky club beats, didjeridoo, horns, and Hank Marr-styled jazziness, along with Nomad's Phil Collins-eque vocals. This heady song cycle incorporates vibes, whirring organ, drum loops, and electric guitar as well, resulting in a very ambitious rave up. Overwhelming in some instances, Songman is intoxicating, lively, and endlessly unfolding. Of particular beauty is the traditional chant: potent, raw, and intriguing when mixed in with dense grooves. An appealing if not altogether even recording. --Paige La Grone

Excellent new (1999) recordings of career favorites.......2002-04-22
Of particular appeal is what, to me, is the definitive version of Mr. Bojangles -- done in a bouncy, jazzy, scatty arrangement that is perfect for the story told in the song, that of a tap dancing cell mate encountered in a New Orleans drunk tank.
Top-notch versions of other career highlights, mostly from the more acoustic side of Jerry Jeff, include: Morning Song To Sally; Woman In Texas; She Knows Her Daddy Sings; and Little Man. This is a 60 year old man who has lived a fast and hard life (and survived it!) who is now clean, sober, and seemingly happy. Contrary to the accusation of the other reviewer that he's ripping off his fans by cramming the same songs down their throats again, what he's really doing is celebrating -- in and with song -- that survival, and recalling and paying tribute to the people and places his life has brought to him.
Songwise, it ranges from very good to excellent; performance-wise, it's terrific -- very down-home and comfortable; recording quality-wise, it's as good a sounding album as you could ask for -- clean and crisp (especially appealing due to the fact that it is dominanted by acoustic guitars).

Tried and True Music.......1999-12-30
A few minutes later, Jerry Jeff stepped up on the stage, sat on the stool, hooked his right heel on a rung of the stool, and asked "how y'all doin'?" I was mad because he didn't even have a band! Then he started playing and singing. It took two songs to come down and start listening. Then I just sat there mesmerized, still except for my breathing, for over three hours as I learned what music was really about. I learned that music was about communicating, educating, and sharing life's experiences.
This CD took me right back to that night. With so many "polished acts" out there today, Jerry Jeff uses this CD to remind each of us what life is about... living, learning, and sharing what we know with others.
If you want a "catchy chorus" with no meaning that sticks in your head and nothing else, move on. If you want music that is real, honest, and sincere enough to stir your appetite for life... this one is a "MUST HAVE"!

Tracks:
Album Description
On this debut CD Don writes 10 originals plus 2 covers that are in the old folk blues style (30s to 60s), but with current themes. He is a master wordsmith, with melodic hooks that will stay with you for weeks on end. He complains that politicians have raised the taxes and therefore his rent, forcing him to move in "Movin to the Cheap Side." He describes a rough bar scene that really happened recently in Mississippi, with "Mr Songman." He completely makes over "Michigan Water Blues" into "Newport Harbor Blues," with new words and melody. His cover of Dylan's "Don't Think Twice" truly brings out the depth of this song. His acoustic guitar, steel slide, and rack harmonica playing are first rate. The final song "Warm Rain" could be a classic crossing over country, folk and pop genres.

Music for the lost child in all of us.......1999-04-06
When I received the CD, I was very taken by the music and the videos themselves.
They show in a very realistic way the way childhood is in our culture. There is no idealizing of childish innocence, or pretence of generosity in the parents, but a very honest look at the true way parents and children relate, and how they have to protect themselves from each other.
There is also a sense of hope, that families, through the power of God, can be healed and can learn to care for each other.
The high quality of the recording and the simplicity and tunefulness of the music makes it very easy to listen to. I enjoy this CD very much, and play it whenever I can.
I think people of my generation, who grew up in the late sixties and seventies, will enjoy this CD ROM and find that it brings back a lot of memories.
