 The Wrecking Yard and Other Stories


The Wrecking Yard and Other Stories


$33.75


New – Pinckney Benedict’s 1994 novel, DOGS OF GOD, was a New York Times Book Review Notable Book–and the same muscular, exciting writing makes each of the stories in this collection grab your attention and hit you hard. Here are the rural originals of his native West Virginia, living in a landscape shaded by violence and raw emotions. With prose that moves with the rhythm of a rockabilly song, “GETTING OVER ARNETTE” puts two country boys at the local Bowl *0* Drome, singing the blues and gettin

 'Cause I Sez So


‘Cause I Sez So


$16.98


Five years into one of the most unlikely reunions in recent rock & roll history, the New York Dolls have begun to acknowledge the great paradox of the new edition of the band. If ever there was a band with a distinctive musical and emotional personality, it was the Dolls, but with only two members of the original lineup still alive and able to take the stage in 2009, David Johansen and Syl Sylvain have had a heavy burden to bear, trying to make music that feels and sounds like the New York Dolls without their iconic lead guitarist, their original rhythm section, and the sort of lifestyle that defined their world view when they were the edgiest band in America’s toughest city. The new Dolls created a reasonable approximation of what their old sound would have been like had they all survived into the new millennium on 2006’s One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This, but 2009’s ‘Cause I Sez So suggests this band has little interest in living in the past, including their own. Todd Rundgren, who produced the Dolls’ brilliant 1973 debut, was behind the controls for this set, and the first two songs, “‘Cause I Sez So” and “Muddy Bones,” conjure up the sloppy downtown energy of the Dolls Mk. 1 better than anything on One Day It Will Please Us, full of dirty guitars, crashing drums, and broadly strutting vocals from Johansen, complemented by Rundgren’s roomy, natural-sounding production. But after that one-two punch, the album shifts gears, easing into a groove that’s more easygoing and (gulp) mature than the classic Dolls assault, with a warmer and more subdued approach. “Lonely So Long” is a great pop tune with a faint resemblance to the Beatles, “Nobody Got No Bizness” is a high-spirited, hip-shaking R&B shuffle, “Temptation to Exist” is a melodramatic ballad that sounds like it could have fit onto one of Johansen’s Buster Poindexter albums, “This Is Ridiculous” is a blues-influenced number that gives the singer plenty of room to showboat, and “Maki…

 'Round About Midnight [Legacy Edition]


‘Round About Midnight [Legacy Edition]


$23.99


Miles Davis’ entry into the Sony Legacy Edition series features his Columbia Records debut and the first offering from his quintet with John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. The label already issued the album in a definitive presentation with four additional tracks taken from the sessions onboard. Musically, the sound on ‘Round About Midnight is as unusual and beautiful as it was when it was issued in 1956. Davis, having already spearheaded two changes in jazz — with cool jazz and hard bop — was beginning to move in another direction here that wouldn’t be defined for another two years. The title track showcasing his muted trumpet premiered at the Newport Jazz Festival the previous summer (in a sextet with Thelonious Monk on piano) to a thunderous reception, and the studio offering is stunning as well. Charlie Parker’s “Au Leu-Cha” is edgy, with deep blues leaping from every chord. Coltrane’s solo is notable for its stark contrast to Davis’ own: Coltrane chooses an angular tack where he finds the heart of the mode and plays in harmonic counterpoint to the changes but never sounds outside. Cole Porter’s “All of You” has Davis quoting from Louis Armstrong’s “Basin Street Blues” in his solo. On “Bye-Bye Blackbird” we get to hear the band gel as a unit, beginning with Davis playing through the head, muted and sweet, slightly flatted out until he reaches the chorus and begins his solo on a high note. Garland slips shapes into those interval cracks and shifts them as the rhythm section keeps “soft time.” Of the bonus material, the gem is Jackie McLean’s “Little Melonae” — Davis and company recorded before the composer could. The band comes out blazing on this set, but it’s Coltrane who’s the surprise in his quoting various Dizzy Gillespie solos. For those who had already purchased the album, it may be disconcerting to need to buy it again in order to procure the 33 minutes of live material on disc two. Track one is that legendar…

 (Re)Conception


(Re)Conception


$19.98


Helen Sung has made great strides since winning the 2007 Mary Lou Williams Piano Competition. Recruiting two of the most in-demand rhythm players for this trio date, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis Nash, the pianist mixes things up with fresh arrangements of standards, time-tested jazz compositions, and a few less frequently played works. Her swinging take of Duke Ellington’s “C Jam Blues” begins with a playful exchange with Washington before launching into the familiar theme, with the walking bass and light percussion propelling her inventive improvising as she avoids the clich? d route through this jazz standard. She also offers a snappy midtempo setting of the maestro’s “Everything But You,” playfully incorporating “Things Ain’t What They Used to Be” before she turns on the afterburners in her superb solo. Her punchy take of George Shearing’s “(Re)Conception” reveals the potential of this neglected bop gem. Thelonious Monk’s “Teo” is another overlooked piece, though Sung transforms it into a rapid-fire Bud Powell-flavored romp. Jerry Bock’s “Far from the Home I Love” (from the musical Fiddler on the Roof) is not typically heard much on jazz record dates, but Sung delivers a sentimental yet shimmering interpretation. Her bright rendition of Burt Bacharach’s “Wives and Lovers” puts the spotlight on the talented Washington for an extensive solo. Sung also contributed one original, the lively, constantly shifting “Duplicity.” Helen Sung is clearly one artist to watch among the musicians of her generation. ~ Ken Dryden, Rovi

 10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)


10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)


$24.98


10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to such senior citizens as Henry Townsend, Etta Baker, Pinetop Perkins, and Henry Gray, and Shepherd’s presence (and the presence of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton) simply helps to focus the attention on these veteran blues players. Shepherd embarked on a ten-day journey into the American South in 2004 with a documentary film crew, a portable recording studio, and Double Trouble as a house band in an effort to catch the blues in its natural habitat of living rooms, kitchens, porches, back yards, and local watering holes, and the performances that resulted are priceless. Here is one-armed harp player Neal Pattman and blind guitarist Cootie Stark turning in a joyous, ramshackle version of “Prison Blues.” A little later, Stark delivers further on a delightful song called “U-Haul,” complete with a marvelous improvised rap over the tune’s run-out coda. Here, too, is the then-96-year-old Henry Townsend turning in a poignant “Tears Came Rollin’ Down.” Etta Baker, then 93, shows that age hadn’t slowed her as a guitarist at all as she delivers an elegant “Knoxville Rag.” Shepherd wisely stays in the background on cut after cut, allowing these amazing musical treasures to unfold naturally and without intrusive elements. There are absolutely no hotshot guitar histrionics anywhere on this disc, which speaks to Shepherd’s sincere vision for this project. He’s after the preservation of blues history with 10 Days Out, and as if to underscore that aim, five of the album’s participants (Neal Pattman, Cootie Stark, Gatemouth Brown, George “Wild Child” Butler, and…
