Norah Jones - ...Little Broken Hearts (2012) [2023, Japanese SHM-CD, Deluxe Edition]

Poor Nick Drake. The soft-spoken introvert may have spent his days upon this earth as a struggling singer/songwriter, but since leaving, his atmospheric and distinctly melancholy songs have become a pop culture fixture. Rescued from British folk oblivion by a one-off Volkswagen commercial, his name has since been bandied about by critics looking to link the English bard with every winsome, dough-faced up-and-comer who puts out a record with strings on it. What’s on a Nick Drake compilation is never as interesting as what was left off. Continue reading “Nick Drake – A Treasury (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Paul Simon – Seven Psalms (2023)

Paul Simon - Seven Psalms (2023)

Seven Psalms comes into focus softly and slowly, with Paul Simon’s circular acoustic guitar figure repeating like a benediction. Religion is certainly on Simon’s mind on Seven Psalms, a collection of seven songs that the singer/songwriter hesitates to call an album; he’s so intent on having the tunes being heard as an interconnected set, he didn’t index the individual segments on either the CD or digital incarnations.

This sounds like a recipe for disaster. Here we have four stubbornly independent artistic individuals, a creative quartet of highly-trained instrumentalists, two women, two men, each with their own moving and impressive backgrounds, four unmistakable voices, four uniquely individual perspectives on root work and euphony – and yet: sometimes true magic lies in just such an unlikely but inspired mixture.

Béla Fleck - The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales From The Acoustic Planet Volume 2 (1999) [2001, Reissue, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

As it turns out, the Tales From the Acoustic Planet albums are where Béla Fleck sounds the most comfortable in the ’90s. As his jazz fusion records begin to sound played out, his acoustic experimentation and returns to straight-ahead bluegrass sound lively, vibrant, and fresh. As a matter of fact, The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales From the Acoustic Planet, Vol. 2 feels like one of his finest albums, due in no small part to the caliber of supporting musicians.
