Glassjaw is back in a big way with its latest, Worship And Tribute. After label woes left the band supportless, the metal-punk-emo-hardcore group of guys from Long Island, New York decided there was nothing to do except record an album on their own and hope someone would pick them up. Upon hearing the finished product, Warner Bros. snatched up the record like a kid in a candy store. Worship finds the group more cohesive and mature than ever before, which is just the way Glassjaw wanted it: “That record to us is awesome,” says guitarist Justin Beck. “I’m proud of it.” DEPARTMENTS 4 Essential 22 CMJ Radio 200 8 Arto Lindsay, Laura Minor, Beth Orton, Sonic Youth holds strong at No. 1.

It wasn’t until she returned to Florida after college to write a book and go to grad school that she discovered music. After teaming up with local singer/songwriter Jared Flamm, Minor converted her poetry to songs and started gigging around the Gainesville area. She eventually gave up her Ph.D study and got a record deal. With Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven alum David Lowery at the helm as a producer, Salesman’s Girl came to life. Although obvi- ously country-influenced, the album utilizes rock, blues and soul to create a musical picture of a vast and varied Americana. It’s a sound that has worked well for Lucinda Williams and Ryan Adams before her, and it appears that Minor will be another voice at the forefront of the new crop of astute R.I.Y.L.: Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch singer/songwriters. “American Girls” is a rocker that’s not only similar in name Contact: Darrell Anderson to a Tom Petty song, but is also reminiscent of his sound. On the ballad “As Phone: 510.763.8500 Email: [email protected] Close To Sacred,” the artist’s poetic tendencies are fully realized through Release Date: July 16; at radio lovelorn lyrics rife with religious imagery and longing. Maybe we can forgive Florida for all those boy bands after all. — Brad Filicky ARTO LINDSAY INVOKE (Righteous Babe) Arto Lindsay’s latest release presents itself with a confidence that only a man with over 25 years of musical know-how and experimentation can offer. Topped with a rich influence that is deeply rooted in Brazilian rhythms and an Eno- esque feel (from when Lindsay worked with the artist in the late 1970s), Invoke is an amazing success that is truly reminiscent of Lindsay’s characteristic style. Similar to his 1999 release Prize, the tracks on Invoke are chock full of rich bossanova and tropical beats, combined with Lindsay’s refreshingly tranquil and gentle voice. As an added bonus, that voice expresses itself in English and Portuguese throughout the album. With a flair for diversification, Lindsay spices up his work with a hip-hop element on “Predigo” (à la Portuguese) while con- structing a montage of chilling and hypnotic sounds on “In The City That Reads” (with the help of Avey Tare and Panda Bear). Turning in the other direc- R.I.Y.L.: David Byrne, Tom Ze, Vinicius Cantuaria tion, “Delegada” and “Beija-me” bring forth the image of Astrud Gilberto and Contact: Keri McQueen Stan Getz together at the Café Au Go Go, creating a breathtaking combination of Phone: 716.852.8020 Email: [email protected] bossanova and jazz with a slightly poppy edge. With a touch of violin arrange- Release Date: out now; at radio ments rounding out the album, Invoke has a little bit of everything for the esteemed listener who gives Lindsay’s engaging style a chance. — Greg Winter R.I.Y.L. = Recommended If You Like 4 CMJ JULY 29, 2002 THENEW WEEK’S BEST MUSIC NEW MUSIC SLUM VILLAGE Trinity: Past, Present And Future While everyone adds the Slum Village sampler to their playlists, it seems benefi- cial to review the group’s full-length a wee bit early. It’s been two years since these Detroit natives released their last album (Fantastic, Vol. 2 on GoodVibe), and Trinity subsequently marks the band’s major-label debut (since signing with Priority earlier this year). As the title suggests, this album gives a nod to hip-hop through its many incarnations; from the lo-fi sparse beats of the house parties of yore to the more slick, layered production of today. The combination of both these elements embodies the vision these cats have for the genre’s future (due in large part to the influence of Jay Dee, who has emerged as one of today’s most sought-after producers). Even with the bare-naked “What Is This,” the group shows that it has more soul than the most gimmicky James Brown/Rick James wannabe who’s adorned with all the bells and whistles money can buy. It’s nice R.I.Y.L.: Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic-5, sedated Outkast to know the support of a major label hasn’t gone to Slum’s head. As the group Contact: Mr. Pete at Priority meanders through the psychedelic, the hard, club joints and ballads with ease Phone: 800.421.0673 ext. 5396 Email: [email protected] and creativity, it’s obvious this album represents hip-hop in its best light. Truly Release Date: Aug. 13; EP at radio one for the ages. — Lisa Hageman BETH ORTON Daybreaker (Astralwerks) On her past works, college radio darling Beth Orton has been anointed the queen of strum ’n’ bass, a golden-throated folktronica goddess with the fore- sight to thread beats through her acoustic folk compositions.

  • Bob Dylan Performs “It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009
    Volume 19, Number 4, December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Society for Music Theory A Foreign Sound to Your Ear: Bob Dylan Performs “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009 * Steven Rings NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.13.19.4/mto.13.19.4.rings.php KEYWORDS: Bob Dylan, performance, analysis, genre, improvisation, voice, schema, code ABSTRACT: This article presents a “longitudinal” study of Bob Dylan’s performances of the song “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” over a 45-year period, from 1964 until 2009. The song makes for a vivid case study in Dylanesque reinvention: over nearly 800 performances, Dylan has played it solo and with a band (acoustic and electric); in five different keys; in diverse meters and tempos; and in arrangements that index a dizzying array of genres (folk, blues, country, rockabilly, soul, arena rock, etc.). This is to say nothing of the countless performative inflections in each evening’s rendering, especially in Dylan’s singing, which varies widely as regards phrasing, rhythm, pitch, articulation, and timbre. How can music theorists engage analytically with such a moving target, and what insights into Dylan’s music and its meanings might such a study reveal? The present article proposes one set of answers to these questions. First, by deploying a range of analytical techniques—from spectrographic analysis to schema theory—it demonstrates that the analytical challenges raised by Dylan’s performances are not as insurmountable as they might at first appear, especially when approached with a strategic and flexible methodological pluralism.
