About the Artist
Michael Chapdelaine is the only guitarist ever to win First Prize in the world's top competitions in both the Classical and Fingerstyle genres; the Guitar Foundation of America International Classical Guitar Competition and the National Fingerstyle Championships at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield , Kansas. From New York's Lincoln Center to the Cactus Cafe in Austin, from Milano to Bangkok, Michael Chapdelaine continues to enchant, dazzle and surprise audiences and critics alike as he redefines the modern acoustic guitar with his amazing technique, "soulful" expressiveness, and versatility as a performer, composer and arranger/producer. His performances, played on both steel string and classical guitars, include musical styles ranging from blues to Bach to country to rhythm n' blues as he wins his audiences hearts with breath taking technique and the poetic magic of his original musical portraits and landscapes.

In the 80's and 90's Mike proved himself to be one of the world's finest classical guitarists; twice winning the coveted National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Grant, and taking First Prize in both the Guitar Foundation of America's and the Music Teachers National Association's Guitar Competitions. He also won the Silver Medal in Venezuela's VIII Concurso International de Guitarra "Alirio Diaz". He has toured four continents while giving hundreds of performances for Affiliate Artists Inc., and various arts promotion organizations. In 1992 he recorded the Sonata Romantica CD, which many critics and connoisseurs of classical guitar consider to be one of the definitive recordings for the instrument. Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote "... if I were marooned on a desert island with a limited selection of recordings, this one would be among my choices...I have seldom heard a more beautiful album. Other young guitarists have excellent technique, but few have such style and musicality, and Chapdelaine's beautiful tone is the nearest to Segovia's that I can recall."

In 1994 Michael turned his attention to pop music, in arranging, producing and recording Time-Life Music's beautiful Guitar by Moonlight collection, which sold 250,000 copies in it's first two years in the stores. In gained instant notoriety and credibility in the "acoustic music" world as a "fingerstyle" guitarist and composer, by winning the National Fingerpicking Championships at Winfield.

Michael is Professor of Music and head of guitar studies at the University of New Mexico,and has previously been on the faculties of the University of Colorado at Denver and Metropolitan State University. including, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Peru, Venezuela, Taiwan, Indonesia and at institutions such as, University of Miami, Mannes School of Music, University of Texas, and California State University.

His teachers included the great Spanish maestro Andres Segovia.

Product Description

ONE OF THE BEST.......2007-03-28

CHRISTY MOORE'S "LIVE AT THE POINT" IS ONE OF THE BEST, IF NOT THE BEST, IRISH MUSIC CD THAT I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. THE CD IS FULL OF EXCELLENT SONGS, SOME QUITE POINGNANT AND OTHERS EXTREMELY FUNNY. THE ONE CONSTANT IS THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE MUSIC AND THE GREAT ENTERTAINER THAT IS CHRISTY MOORE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CD FOR IRISH MUSIC FANS.

Customer Reviews:

The Definitive Ruby Andrews Collection...Must Have Chicago Soul Classic........2006-06-30

Most people are sleep on who Ruby Andrews is. For those that don't know, or think they know (because they only heard Cassanova) wake up! This woman is the essence of what Chicago soul singers are really about! Most folk only associate two female singers from Chicago (the late Minnie Riperton and Mavis Staples) and disregard the rest. Ruby Andrews has all the funk Mavis Staples only achieved on one album (the Curtis Mayfield produced A Piece of the Action Soundtrack, which FYI was excellent), and the seriousness of Minnie Riperton classic Come Into My Garden in this collection all in one. For those just finding out about this gem, I would recommend finding a vinyl copy of the 1972 recording of Black Ruby since it hasnt been re-released on CD. However, if you can't, before you play the whole CD in sequential order, listen to the following FIRST:
1. (I Wanna Be) Whatever It Takes To Please You
2. You Ole Boo Boo You
3. My Love Is Comin Down
4. Uh Uh Boy That's A No No
5. Casanova (the first version)
6. You Got To Do The Same Thing
7. The Love I Need
8. You Made A Believer Out Of Me

There are songs on here for everyone. Some are dated, but the funkier cuts are in the aforementioned. Ruby's talent, as well as innovation come out very nicely in this collection; the style of guitar, bass and strings used in some of the songs is very reminiscent of later 70s works of Curtis Mayfield with female singers (mostly Aretha Franklin (Sparkle Soundtrack), Mavis Staples (Piece of the Action Soundtrack), and Gladys Knight (Claudine Soundtrack)) but note: Ruby Andrews did it first!!!
If I had one baby gripe about this compilation, it would be not including Overdose Of Love, which is such a sexy, seductive song IMO that has mystique in it that captures you from the first note to the end. But all in all, you won't be dissapointed.

Should have been a hit........1999-10-27

The critics hated this, but they also hated "At 17" and "Between the Lines". both #1 records for Ian. She has always used the best musicians available; Steve Gadd & Willie Weeks fill in admirably the spaces left by Richard Davis et al in her earlier work. I know this came on the heels of "Breaking Silence", so everyone expected a moody noir piece - but its refreshing to hear Ian's most commercial material, with choruses you can sing along to, lyrics with insight, the works! Of all her albums, this has to be my favorite, because I can play it tooling around in my car, right next to Back Street Boys and Puff Daddy. If she were male, if she were 19 or 20 years old, this album would have been platinum.

The Critics hated it but I LOVED it.......1999-05-09

This album was panned by the critics but if you are a fan of the "At Seventeen" era Janis Ian, this album is great. Most of the tunes on this album are catchy and remind me of why I liked Janis Ian to begin with. My favorites cuts are "When Angels Cry," "Tenderness" and "Take Me Walking In The Rain." The songs are a little sappy (and yes a little depressing) but isn't that why so many of us liked her in the first place?

Album Description

Troubled Waters is a lovingly compiled collection of 23 amazing deep soul tracks from America's deep south. This wonderful and unique style is so often ignored and misunderstood but the staff at Grapevine have a love and understanding of deep soul music, and that's why Troubled Waters is an essential album. Featured here are some true masters of the deep soul style, including Sam Dees, Tommy Tate, McKinley Mitchell, King Floyd and Dorothy Moore, plus many lesser-known artists who deserved far more attention than they got. The 12-page booklet has informative liner notes by John Ridley, and all tracks have been digitally remastered from the original tapes by Paul Mooney at South Union.

Rarities from the Malaco vaults........2007-01-06

This compilation focuses almost exclusively on rarities and previously unreleased tracks from the Malaco label's vaults. Malaco, of course, is probably one of the very few labels still recording and releasing REAL Soul music and this collection gives you a good overview of the label's sound an d style. The songs by Sam Dees, Dorothy Moore, The Patterson Twins, Tommy Tate, Anita Mitchell, Charles Warren and Carolyn Faye are my favorites but the whole CD is very good. Both ballads and more uptempo tracks are featured here.

A unique compilation of obscure Soul ballads from New Orleans........2007-01-06

God's Gift To Women's "Stop To Think It Over" is simply one of the most gorgeous and soulful ballads ever--said song easily justifies buying this great anthology of rare New Orleans Soul ballads. But don't overlook or underestimate the rare gems from such obscure artists and groups as Betty Harris, Earl King, The Herculoids, The Philharmonics and Diamond Joe as all are superb slices of gospel-infused Sweet Soul with a Southern twist. Excellent liner notes and discographical info courtesy of UK-based R&B authority John Ridley also.
