Eleanor McEvoy – Early Hours (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Eleanor McEvoy - Early Hours (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

‘Early Hours’ takes Eleanor McEvoy’s music to new heights. Couched now in a mature jazz/blues context, her melodic and sensitive songs – packed as ever with wry, insightful social observation – benefit from first rate performances. “It would be a tragedy given the exquisite understated magnificence and warmth of these 42 minutes if all Eleanor McEvoy were remembered is ‘fl Woman’s Heart”. Eleanor’s Dido-before-Dido voice and some of the best happy/sad songs she has ever written plus deconstructed classics by Chuck Berry and Bert Jansch, this is her ‘White Ladder’, her ‘Life for Rent’. a triumph. MOJO. Continue reading “Eleanor McEvoy – Early Hours (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Bobbie Gentry – The Girl From Chickasaw County (The Complete Capitol Masters) (2018) [8CDs Box Set]

Bobbie Gentry - The Girl From Chickasaw County (The Complete Capitol Masters) (2018) [8CDs Box Set]

Like her signature song “Ode to Billie Joe,” Bobbie Gentry is an enigma by choice. “Ode to Billie Joe” deliberately leaves out details that would spell out the story and Gentry removed herself from public view sometime in the late ’70s for reasons that have never been fully disclosed. Many have tried to track her down because her cult not only persisted into the 21st century, it even grew — so much so that an observer would be forgiven if they believed Gentry was something of an outsider artist instead of a mainstay on television who hosted a variety show of her own.

Hespèrion XXI / Jordi Savall - Orient-Occident (1200-1700) (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

AliaVox’s Orient-Occident 1200-1700 is unique in Jordi Savall’s recorded output in that, despite the title, it has no correspondence whatsoever with any specific historical or musicological program. Rather, like the “East meets West” albums pairing violinist Yehudi Menhuin with sitar player Ravi Shankar, Orient-Occident 1200-1700 brings Savall and ace Hespèrion XXI percussionist Pedro Estevan into the orbit of Greek santur player Dimitris Psonis, Israeli oud player Yair Dalal, Moroccan oudist Driss El Maloumi, and three Afghan traditional musicians — Osman Ahrman, Khaled Arman, and Siar Hashimi.
