Rap Battle: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Hip-Hop The Roots Report: Indigo Girls Okee dokee folks… Thursday night the enduring duo Indigo Girls performed a show, accompanied by Francisco Noya and the RI Philharmonic, to an enthusiastic audience of about 2,300 at Providence Performing Arts Center. The Indigo Girls dominated the Newport Folk Festival during the early ’90s and were a fan favorite for most of that decade. They have played the area many, many times over the ensuing years and this recent show had 65+ musicians playing along with them. I believe this is the second (maybe third) time that they have performed this show at PPAC. Each time they present this show it is a treat. Thursday night was no exception. The “Girls” played a 17-song, two-set show that included selctions from some of their 30+ year catalogue of recordings: Swamp Ophelia, Beauty Queen Sister, Poseidon And The Bitter Bug, One Lost Day, Rites of Passage, 1200 Curfews and, of course their eponymous release Indigo Girls. Unfortunately, performing with a band of such size and type has its limitations and restrictions — no requests, no encore, much to the dismay of the screaming fans — but on the other end you hear songs with strings, brass and woodwinds like you have never heard them before. Though the orchestra rehearses the arrangements in depth before the performance, they only get a once through rehearsal with the Indigo Girls in advance. Amy Ray goofed a little during one song, she stopped and they all started over again. It was all fine and they had a laugh. The song of resistance, “Go” took on the feeling of a Bond theme with the help of the Francisco Noya and the RI Philharmonic. The biggest songs of the night were, of course, the more popular ones such as “Galileo,” which brought the first set to a close with the audience singing along so loudly it almost drowned out the large band. Other songs such as “Kid Fears,” “The Power of Two” and “Chickenman” were also big hits with the audience. There was quite a bit of “hooting and hollering,” something that you would not normally hear at an orchestral show. The musicians just happily drank it all in! No Indigo Girls show would be complete without their signature song, “Closer To Fine.” This one always has Indigo Girls turning a verse or two over to the crowd to sing and they never miss a word. That ended the 90-minute show to the dismay of the legions of fans who wanted more, but as I mentioned before there isn’t much wiggle room when an orchestra is involved! I have been a fan of the Indigo Girls since I first heard their music back in 1988. I saw them open for Neil Young around that time and they were still just performing as a duo. Though the duo is still my personal favorite incarnation I enjoy all they do and have seen them live maybe 30 or more times in 30 years. As with any musical act time takes its toll and unfortunately Emily Saliers’ voice is starting to falter a bit. She still has power and showed it by belting out a long note but her vocals were somewhat wavery. Oddly, on the other hand, Amy Ray’s voice seems to have gotten stronger and more powerful over the years. Regardless the duo still sounds great and the vocal and guitar interplay compensate for each other. Their songs are still strong and have stood the test of time. Hopefully they can endure for many years to come. That’s it for now. Thanks for reading. www.JohnFuzek.com The Roots Report: (Made-Up) Words of Wisdom: Have a little pride, people! Okee dokee folks… Last night I coined a new word, “gignity,” in reference to musicians who will play anywhere, anytime, and under any conditions for little to no pay — these people have no “gignity.” I will just say this: It is better for you and for the music community as a whole if you don’t play shitty gigs. Read on… Are you constantly searching for your lost shaker of salt? Are you inclined to wear loud shirts and grass skirts? If so, then you might be a “Parrothead” and should be in attendance at The Providence Performing Arts Center for Jimmy Buffet’s Escape To Margaritaville the musical!

  • Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (Guest Post)*
    “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (guest post)* The Eagles In 1971, the arrival of The Eagles signaled a major shift in popular musical tastes in America. If Woodstock was the funeral for both the music and the culture of a decade of drugged out, hippie, free love and cultish idealism, the Seventies was the decade of blatant decadence, political cynicism, sexual distrust, and rampant narcissism. No band represented both the rejection of the Sixties and the celebration of the Seventies more than its crown princes, the Eagles. Songs like “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Witchy Woman,” “One of These Nights,” and “Already Gone,” filled with spirited playing, close harmonies and an overlay of the Eagles’ war between the sexes, comprise four of the ten selections included in the initial compilation of Eagles’ hit songs from their first four albums, “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).” Ironically, although the Eagles’ laid-back sound was bright and natural as Southern California sunshine, none of the original four members were Golden State natives (Don Henley, vocalist, lyricist, drummer, was from Texas, bred on bluegrass and country music; Glenn Frey, vocalist, lyricist, rhythm guitar, pianist, came from the streets of Detroit, influenced by the music of Motown and mentored by Bob Seger; Randy Meisner, on bass, was a veteran bar band night sider out of Nebraska; Bernie Leadon, guitar, mandolin, banjo, was a Minnesotan who loved and loved to play classic country). Each migrated separately to Los Angeles, like lemmings, to The Troubadour, the musical and cultural ground zero club on Santa Monica Boulevard, owned and operated by Doug Weston, who favored putting on his stage country-rock bands and female vocalists.

The Things I Haven’t Done (Bruce Coughlan) Bruce Coughlan Music (SESAC) The opening track, by Bruce Coughlan, a talented singer-songwriter from British Columbia with whom I’ve had the privilege of collaborating over the years, captures the theme of Sixty: I’ve been blessed with an amazing life and career. As with most of us, my journey has not been without loss and sacrifice, but by and large, I’ve been able to make a living doing what I love. One of the joys in my life has been to sing on records of people I admire greatly. Singing on Rodney Crowell’s recordings since the landmark “Houston Kid,” has been a source of great pride and satisfaction for me. I was a fan of his long before our lives intersected and we became friends. Having Rod on this song means very much to me.

  • Your Mama Don't Dance
    Release Date: October 16, 2020 NEW RELEASE UPC: 194690259814 “Your Mama Don’t Dance” Studio Featuring musicians that frequent Sacramento, Huey Lewis CA. The Track Shack Studios, joined Chuck Bari (aka Chuck Hansen), to record this new version of Loggins & Messina’s ‘Your Mama Don’t Dance,’ featuring Huey Lewis. Anchored by former Tower of Power lead guitarist & executive producer, Jeff Tamelier, and sound engineer, Peter De Leon, the team recorded old friend Huey Lewis vox & har- monica to re-introduce this (nearly) 50-year- old classic (#5 on U.S. Billboard Chart, 1972). A chance first meeting of Huey Lewis & Chuck Hansen after one of his Broadway per- formances of the musical ‘Chicago,’ brokered by mutual friend Jeff Tamelier, led to a 2006 performance where Chuck got added to the horn section on a Lake Tahoe gig with Huey Lewis & The News. While Johnnie Bamont is Huey’s long-time bari player in The News, Chuck’s string of appearances with Huey at the AT&T Pro Am Band and parties at Clint Eastwood’s Tehama Golf Club led to recording ‘Your Mama Don’t Dance’ for charity. “If it wasn’t for COVID, I’m not sure we would have released this tune,” states Han- sen. “But, Huey’s & Jeff’s encouragement & addition of Lifehouse as our charity, motivated me to lay down a version of Jon Clarke’s bari solo from the original tune. I hope you like our mix.” Elvis Presley sang a few lines from ‘Your Mama...’ as part of a medley in 1974 for his album Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis.
