Jon Anderson Album: Olias Of Sunhillow Label: Esoteric Genre(s): Progressive Rock Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Apr 12, 2021
Review
Since the 1990s, many albums from the YES group's family tree have come out on CD but Esoteric’s 2021 2-disc version of the debut solo album from Jon Anderson, Olias Of Sunhillow is no doubt the best sounding and most informative release of this particular landmark recording. Liner notes by famed rock journalist Malcolm Dome coaxes Anderson into sometimes humorous memory lane terrain as you can read in the main booklet, while a second booklet features the lyrics alone. 45 years after the original Lp release in the summer of 1976, Olias Of Sunhillow has seen release as several CD reissues but this remaster on U.K. based Esoteric is better and more rounder-sounding and more easy on the ears than even the 2014 SACD audiophile version on Audio Fidelity records. A veritable prog-pioneer that came to the fore as the voice of YES at the close of the 1960s,
The Halley DeVestern Band Album: Money Ain’t Time Label: Self-Release Genre(s): Blues Rock Posted By: Duane Verh
Apr 11, 2021
Review
Halley DeVestern & company’s “live” set from the “before times” (2019, to be specific) provides us with a long overdue re-introduction to the NYC-based vocalist’s sheer power and attendant emotional punch. It also provides a well-deserved additional look at a potent pair of her song-crafting collaborations with bassist Thomas Heinig, “Muscle Memory” and the title track. Ms. D faces down the inevitable Joplin comparisons with her own solid reading of the Jerry Ragavoy/Chip Taylor gem “Try”. The band delivers tight, tough support & saves space for some ear-grabbing guitar play as well. Good stuff.
Drew Weaver Album: Drew Weaver Sings Country Mood Songs Label: Y&T Music Genre(s): Contemporary Country Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Apr 10, 2021
Review
If you’re looking for really authentic Country & Western music in 2021, look no further than the CD release of Drew Weaver Sings Country Mood Songs from singer-songwriter Drew Weaver. Although it’s only six songs in length, this release packs a wallop in both feeling and moods. Drew cites legends like Roger Miller, Waylon Jennings and Don Gibson among his big influences yet to my ears, there’s also a Buck Owens and Gram Parsons-era version of The Byrds vibe here. The kicker here is that these tracks are actually long but not lost tracks made by Drew back during two 1998 sessions recorded in Los Angeles. Why this music took so long to find daylight on disc is beyond me but kudos to South Florida-based Y&T Music for finally releasing it on CD. Producer Jansen Press has done a remarkable job of translating the flawless studio vibes onto tape and the musicians on
Matt Panayides Album: Field Theory Label: Pacific Coast Jazz Genre(s): Contemporary Jazz Posted By: Joe Ross
Apr 9, 2021
Review
After a couple releases (Conduits in 2005, Tapestries of Song in 2011) that have emphasized his guitar’s natural acoustic sound, Matt Panayides has decided to paint his original musical palette with different sonic colorings, effects, feelings and ideas. He reached out to his friend, colleague and wind synth player Matt Vashlishan with whom he had experimented and recorded with in grad school at William Paterson University. The, he recruited Bob Sabin (bass) and Mark Ferber (drums) and took the music on the road to Shanghai and Seoul in 2018-19. When Panayides decided to document the music in the studio, tenor sax man Rich Perry was enlisted to add nuances and colors to the project.
Field Theory emphasizes the fact that we all exist in different fields at any given point in time. These fields of time, space and sound allow us to have new and different experiences as they
A.J. Croce Album: By Request Label: Compass Genre(s): Roots Rock Posted By: Joe Ross
Apr 9, 2021
Review
With ten studio albums under his belt, the eclectic A. J. Croce decided to keep the party going strong during the 2020 pandemic by taking requests. Croce invites us to stop in for a private gathering with friends, food, beverage and plenty of splendid music. It’s a raucous gathering of blues, soul, jazz, pop and rock n’ roll grounded by Croce’s piano, organ and emotive voice. By Request also features his full touring band, Gary Mallaber (drums), David Barard (bass) and Garrett Stoner (guitar), as well as a horn section, background vocalists and others. A multi-instrumentalist, Croce plays some guitar on The Zombies’ “Can’t Nobody Love You” and his lively arrangement of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee’s “Better Day,” that also includes guitar legend Robben Ford.
A real palatable set of fun, spirited music, By Request
