Telarc’s Vintage Cinema, featuring Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, is a survey of classic film score music from the period commonly recognized as the finest for film music, stretching from Max Steiner’s groundbreaking score for King Kong (1933) to Franz Waxman’s valedictory Taras Bulba (1962).

The first time Erich Kunzel & the Cincinnati Pops made a symphonic Halloween album, they called it Chiller. Now that a sequel has come from the haunted house — er, the Cincinnati Music Hall — they merely state what they hope will be the obvious, Scary Music. But this time, Kunzel doesn’t raid the classical music field for material, preferring to stick with film music, television ditties, and the Top 40.

Willie Nelson returns to his comfort zone on I Don’t Know a Thing About Love: The Songs of Harlan Howard, an old-fashioned country album released a few weeks before his 90th birthday. Nelson isn’t the first country singer to salute songwriter Howard. Buck Owens did it in 1961 with Buck Owens Sings Harlan Howard, while Waylon Jennings released Waylon Sings Ol’ Harlan in 1967.

Cracker Island marks something of a retreat for Gorillaz, moving the virtual group away from the excess of The Song Machine, a multi-part series of collaborations that sometimes threatened to collapse upon its own weight. Guests are still featured on Cracker Island–collaboration is one of the chief reasons Damon Albarn launched the group at the dawn of the millennium–but he sticks with Greg Kurstin and Remi Kabaka Jr as his main collaborators, giving the record an appealingly streamlined feel.

Willie Dixon once told Wild Child Butler, “You are the moan of the suffering woman, the groan of the dying man. You ain’t nothing but the blues.” Here’s a man who’s been heavily praised by Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Jimmy Rogers just to name a few; a man who those blues legends were proud to accompany. As traditional as the blues on this album are, there’s no mistaking a Wild Child tune. Continue reading “Wild Child Butler – Sho’ ‘Nuff (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

A longtime sideman of Zydeco King Clifton Chenier and later C.J. Chenier, Harry Big Daddy Hypolite steps into the spotlight for the first time with Louisiana Country Boy, his solo debut. If you share the tastes of APO Records’ CEO Chad Kassem, you’ll wonder, after hearing this recording, how this soulful voice and natural charisma have gone relatively unnoticed for so long.

Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were (and are) two of the main stems of jazz. Any way you look at it, just about everything that’s ever happened in this music leads directly — or indirectly — back to them. Both men were born on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, and each became established as a leader during the middle ’20s.
