Paste proves there’s no shortage of great reviews for Joss Stone’s LP1 “Soul child Joss Stone grew up going toe-to-toe and holding her own with some of classic R&B’s finest, and that old soul presence made for a disconnect: free spirit hippie girl inhabiting Timmy Thomas’ vintage “I’ve Fallen In Love With” with the same lived-in familiarity she brought to her take on The White Stripes’ “Fell in Love With a Girl.” After enduring a lengthy battle with her record company, working with Raphael Saadiq, collaborating on movie soundtracks, and forming a band called Superheavy with Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart and Damien Marley as well as acting in the film Eragon and Showtime’s The Tudors, Stone’s become her own woman. Launching a label after fighting for emancipation, she applies that torque, frustration and fire on LP1, a full-tumble of relent- less musicianship, grit and soul. Cut live over six days in Nashville, it conjures the spirit of another supplanted smokey Brit songstress in the steamy South: Dusty in Memphis. The dusky satin of her near-drawled erotic anticipation on “Drive All Night” is threaded with the small details and grand responses of love and lust torn from life. The punch—delivered over a vintage keyboard and lean percussion—is the reality that this how these engagements really go down, making the chorus’ question “what use is the night when you can’t sleep anyway?” a foregone conclusion. Still, it’s not always the blunt-force trauma of Stone’s truculent alto that makes LP1 so stunning; though moments like the Rickie Lee Jones-evoking shuffle’n’snark of “Don’t Start Lying To Me Now,” the faltering build of the pitched emotionalism of “Last One To Know” and the slow blues grind of “Landlord” offer full-tilt, howl-at-the-heavens vocalizing. But where Stone stands out—as producer Dave Stewart realizes—is in her restraint. With a few sprinkled notes, she hums over the slowly building “Boat Yard,” which becomes a geyser of churning notes, then silk-whispers the album’s closing lullabye/prayer “Take Good Care.” It is a holy spirit that moves Stone’s burning tones, and that blaze, when calibrated, hypnotizes. Over a couple acoustic guitar chords and the occasional piano rise, Stone unravels a witness about the utopia the world can be on the opening “Newborn.” A rejoinder, a bit of kindling and a match, the players press into each other as Stone rides that momentum higher, more intense and willing to be con- sumed by her vision. In a world where machined dance fodder, rap-deckled pop and lumbering rawk dominates, a genuine article of soul music—espe- cially one where the thick bass, tumbling Wurlitzer and bright guitars set the tone—is a joyous noise, indeed.” - Reprinted from Paste Magazine, July 26 2011 Dave Stewart connects with critics on his own “Dave Stewart will always be remembered most for his groundbreaking work with the Eurythmics. The fusion of rock, dance, and electronica he pioneered with Annie Lennox created the template for the current generation of dance/rock bands. Since the breakup of the Eurythmics, Stewart has become a well-known producer and has written songs with Mick Jagger, Bono, Tom Petty, Gwen Stefani, and most recently, Stevie Nicks, but his solo efforts have been few and far between. The Blackbird Diaries, his first solo album in 15 years, was recorded in Nashville at Blackbird Studios, a facility owned by Martina McBride’s husband, John. Stewart fell in love with the place, decided to make an album there, and wrote and recorded most of it in less than a week. John McBride put together a band of Nashville studio musicians and the majority of the album was cut live, with Stewart singing with the band. According to the copious liner notes Stewart supplied in the promo package, many of the tunes here are first takes, and they have the relaxed feel of a live performance. The backing band is strong with the Blond on Blond style keyboard work of Mike Rojas, and the muscular guitar playing of Tom Bukovac is particularly impressive. The set opens with “So Long Ago”, a tune that tips its hat to Jesse Mae Hemphill, Junior Kimbrough, and RL Burnside, musicians Stewart met while filming the documentary Deep Blues: A Musical Pilgrimage to the Crossroads. The arrangement combines British blues riffs that nod to the Rolling Stones—particularly in the sly backing vocals that echo the “whoo hoos” of “Sympathy for the Devil”—and generations of southern blues rockers. Lyrically “The Gypsy Girl and Me” is a Dylanesque carnival of cascading images delivered over a tough blues-rock groove; Stewart’s lascivious vocals are set off by the slashing guitar interplay between himself and Bukovac. If the Eurythmics had ever cut a country ballad, it might have sounded like “All Messed Up.” Martina McBride’s emotional vocals complement Stewart’s more reserved approach, with Dan Dougmore’s pedal steel supplying an emotional counterpoint to their duet. “The Well” is the album’s darkest track and opens with a countrified beat that’s halfway between reg- gae and spaghetti western. Stewart’s vocal is a tortured whisper and Bukovac’s big, twangy guitar and Rojas’ menacing organ give the music a cinematic sweep. There are also a couple of straightforward country tunes. “Country Wine” and “Magic in the Blues” would sound good coming out of any Saturday night jukebox. Stewart could have another career as a Nashville songwriter. The record includes a few tunes co-written by Stevie Nicks, Colbie Caillat, Jason Reeves, and Bob Dylan. The Nicks track, “Cheaper than Free” (which already appeared on Nicks’ album In Your Dreams), sounds like a country tune written by George Harrison. The Caillat/Reeves song, “Bulletproof Vest”, is a romantic country ballad with the feel of a late-night ‘40s cabaret tune, while the tune co-written with Dylan, “Worth the Waiting For”, is an R&B/country hybrid that echoes the sound of Highway 61 Revisited. Despite the high profile names, the co-writes are less interesting than the originals Stewart wrote, whose songs carve out a unique space between country, rock, British blues, and swing band ballads that’s all his own. There’s nothing earth-shattering here, but Stewart’s high spirits and sense of humor make every track shine.” - Reprinted from Crawdaddy Magazine, July 1 2011 Listen to everything and find out more at www.rightarmresource.com as well as facebook.com/rightarmresource or twitter.com/rightarmjesse RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 7/27/11
