  • From Bach to Beatles and Barn-Burners to Ballads
    From Bach to Beatles and barn-burners to ballads Passion is guaranteed, when world renowned fingerstyle guitarist Richard Smith and cellist Julie Adams join forces Can you imagine a full orchestra playing in your living room? Or two lovers flirting in a symphony hall? It's a little bit of both that you get from world renowned finger- style guitarist Richard Smith and his wife, versatile cellist Julie Adams – and they serve so much more. The combination of Richard’s fretboard fireworks and Julie’s warm tone and ly- rical style will melt your heartstrings, have your toes tapping and your jaws hanging open. Their ever growing repertoire comprises a wide variety of music from classical Bach to Beatles pop. It includes Scott Joplin Rags just like Sousa marches, Chopin, Mozart and fiddle tunes. It ranges from jazz standards to Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed and to Django Reinhardt gypsy swing, not to mention their intriguing originals. Ri- chard and Julie deliver both, lightning fast barn-burners and beautiful ballads, occa- sionally spiced with gentle and witty vocals. Their incredible stylistic wealth is founded in a lifelong love for music. Born in Beckenham, Kent, England in 1971, Richard started playing guitar at age 5 under the instruction of his father. Concentrating initially on the country picking of Chet At- kins and Merle Travis, young Richard digested everything he heard, learning even the most complicated of these tunes with ease, and confounding everyone with his dexterity. It seemed that not only did he possess amazing physical skill, but a photographic musical memory as well.

    A Conversation with Suzy Bogguss by Frank Goodman (12/2007, puremusic.com) What a singer. When, only now and then, a singer's basic sound is completely arresting, it's like a wake up call. You can have attitude, you can be dramatic, elastic or gymnastic-- but when you have that sound, you can just sing, and it's all there. You can dial in degrees of whatever else you want, but that's just icing on the cake. And it's the cake they call angel's or devil's food, right? A dozen or so albums into a charmed career, Suzy says she's just realizing she's actually the thread that ties it all together, not whether she's singing Country, or Swing, or Jazzy Pop. And the last of those is the place where Sweet Danger goes with assured poise. Though most of her fantastic work has been in the Country vein, her fans followed her when she cut the landmark Swing record with her old friend Ray Benson and past and present members of Asleep At The Wheel. It's a cinch that they will be along for the ride here to witness Suzy absolutely killing the great Beth Nielsen Chapman and Annie Roboff song "Right Back Into The Feeling," or the mindblowing cover of the Peter Cetera classic "If You Leave Me Now." Sometimes you don't really get how great a singer is until they come out of the bag that made them famous. We said jazzy pop, but at times it feels also like a really great soft rock album.

    j.d. simo ( torrent downloads) J.d. simo :( torrent downloads) Tommy Emmanuel - Accomplice One (2018) Tommy Emmanuel is an Australian guitarist, songwriter and singer, best known for his complex fingerstyle technique, energetic performances and the use of percussive effects on the guitar. Although originally a session player in many bands, he has carved out his own style as a solo artist in recent years, releasing award-winning albums and singles. “Accomplice One”, which is produced by Tommy, is a 16-track collaboration album, with mix of new takes on indelible classics and brand-new originals from Tommy and his collaborators. “Deep River Blues” featuring Jason Isbell kicks off this release and what a cracker of a track it is. The former member of Drive By Truckers voice is a real foil to Tommy`s and it`s a real laid-back love in with both artists almost egging each other on. I could have sworn that the fellas were in the room with me, such was the relaxed performance of this offering. The wonderful American country and bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs is next to contribute with “Song And Dance Man.” He lends his mandolin and unmistakable voice to the song, which is a chronicle of a life lived for the next show. Simple but so effective. Jorma Kaukonen renowned from bands such as Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, joins Tommy with American guitarist, harmonica player and Chet Atkins session musician Pat Bergeson for the instrumental “Saturday Night Shuffle” this is what it says on the tin, a relaxed chilled out jam session.

  • Why You Don't Want to Miss It
    WHY YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT KING BISCUIT BLUES FESTIVAL OVERVIEW: Presented in the fertile birthplace of Delta blues on the banks of the Mississippi River on land where cotton is king and the blues artists sing, The Biscuit this year fills in the threads between the never to be forgotten legacy of native sons Sonny Boy Williamson and James Cotton with an unparalleled lineup that’s the best of the best from the past, present and future of the blues. WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT 2017: This year’s line-up is the sweet spot that presents the blues in all its permutations: Saturday’s headliner Gov’t Mule is a fundamental link between the blues fathers and their contemporary sons and daughters, while Thursday’s headliner Tab Benoit (“the voice of the wetlands”) is the standard bearer of a new generation of Cajun blues musicians. Beyond that, you have the blend of performers like Sonny Burgess, who rubbed shoulders with Elvis Presley in Arkansas clubs at the birth of rock and roll and Bob Margolin, Muddy Waters’ guitarist fresh off The Last Waltz 40th an- niversary tour. You have Paul Thorn who stole the show from B.B. King in 2010 and C.W. Gatlin, who played with Sam Carr and Helena’s own Frank Frost who brings a sense of true blues history with him. Add to that another four dozen performers, plus the opportunity to discover up-and-coming talent on the Rising Biscuit stage and from some of the grittiest busker street performances you’ll find anywhere.
