R Soos & The Ranch Hands - Old Guitars And A Road To Ride

Copied from Sears.com:

"Along with their many singles and internet only releases, R Soos and the Ranch Hands are making the grandiose move into that otherworldly domain known as a CD. Something you can feel and touch. Shiver me timebars. Given their fondness for beer and bbq, one can honestly wonder how these folks get anything down on tape. Seemingly miraculous, the end result has a cohesiveness only folks who love playing together can achieve. In the modern realm of high-technique, the Ranch Hands have a distinct pride in their lo-fi roots. They are not shy about announcing from the first track that they have no ambition to fall into the '21st Century Trap' of marketing things people don't want or need.

“Back On My Feet Again” lovingly tells the working man's tale of managing to find work and making ends meet. And, when hard times come again, there is still the optimism that with song and style, all of the Ranch Hands will pick themselves back up on their feet again. 'Run Wild' is a love song where the croaking vocalist asks the one of his dreams to do exactly that: 'run wild with me'. Like it or not, we still live in a world where folks have no qualms playing games with hearts - and the ranch hands manage to make 'Outlaw Lovin'' feel natural and pure. 'Slow Night Blues' is exactly that, and delicately leads into the first single release, 'Rock and Roll Preacher'. The preacher in this story is 'worse than a gangster, but better than a teacher.' One gets the feeling the Ranch Hands did not love school.

Side two gets the party started with fiddles backing up the story of Sally, the girlfriend of our narrator who sneaks out on him with his own brother. 'High Lonesome Blues' speaks plaintively of 'my getting held days are over and done'. With the fiddles out, the music continues with twin fiddles on the tribute tune to 'Fiddle Players' everywhere ('when you're around I'll never be blue'). The slow dance follows. Picture holding your favorite person in your arm and dancing nice and slow, and singing aloud that they 'Feel Like Home'. Makes you almost want to cry tender tears.

The inevitable road song is here called 'Gypsy Drivers On The Road' which may sound like a complaint about how fast the road takes the band from town to town, but close listening makes you feel there is a deep love for the travels. The title tune ('Old Guitars') comes near the end and welcomes everyone to 'that good old southern breeze', full of what the cover picture displays as old-fashioned humidity.

The album ends with a confessional waltz entitled 'Deep In My Bones': 'Over the years I ain't got very far writing music and words that made me a star.' At times, 'Old Guitars And A Road to Ride' hints that the men would rather not do anything than play music in their little corner of the world. Another strongly evocative theme in the album is that the Ranch Hands will work at whatever occupation is available to help their loved ones live a life with food and shelter, and if folks like the music, then rave on. - Tony Richardson"

R Soos & The Ranch Hands

Presidents of the United States of America - Good Morning Tycoon b/w Slow Slow Fly

"Never guilty, never wrong..." Could be a deep moral understanding of how material people condone their aberrant behaviours; but the music is fun & the lyrics continue on to be hilarious. These folks may be sharp critics of human behaviour, but like Mark Twain they wrap it in tones which make us all recognize ourselves and learn to laugh at our foibles: "now you're glued to the tube watching yourself watching the world stay tuned". Slow Slow Fly starts off with a drum bass intro which could go anywhere from funk to soul to where it ends up - rock and roll - all about, you guessed it, a fly. With some sweet lead guitar as the fly lands "at the end of your sunburned nose". The fly buzzes everywhere, until the weather cools, and he becomes the slow slow fly. Yep, you got it - fun stuff. Shoutout for She's A Nurse, who can "stitch up cuts" and perform "emergency surgery on my heart" with a comic book punk back-up band. The Presidents of the United States of America - Kudos!

Happy Valentine's 35 Years Later

Nostalgia 77 - What Do You Know

Beat poets dreamt of a backing band that could carry emotion without effort. Nostalgia 77 performs the role perfectly for the beautiful voice saxing it's way deep into the soul of my ears swaying deeping "What do you know about your love..." Beats with brass and orchestra staying subtle behind the voice. The voice. Have I mentioned the voice. Carrying me away. Carrying us all away - "our love back together." Happy Valentine's y'all. No videos of this tune yet, but plenty of past presences are reality. Nostalgia 77 - What Do You Know

Gretchen Lohse - All Around the River b/w Cuckoo "I am not a willow though I wish that I could be. Solitary temple - violent and wise." Poetry with melodic harmonies and a voice which enhances the words and creates an atmosphere of desiring to hear the dream of each clear syllable. Shout out for the title tune, Primal Rumble, and Cuckoo, which features tasty guitar work with embelishment by a bird singing in flute voices. Gretchen Lohse - Primal Rumble

Jesse Harris - Borne Away

This guy's been around long enough to be a household name, and he is in some places. Time for you to make him part of your home if he's not there yet. Stand-out cuts are Borne Away, Stray Dog, Anything At All, Strangers, and Sleep. Each has their own flavor and tickle with special manners. Jesse Harris - Borne Away

Catherine Russell - Aged and Mellow

"I've got a strange philosophy - nothing young appeals to me." This old Little Esther tune tastes marvelous coming from the throat of Catherine Russell. No videos available (yet) of this tune, but lots of Catherine can be seen on YouTube - the first video is from her River Walk broadcast with the Jim Cullen Band, the second is her interpretation of Erma Franklin's Piece of My Heart. Deep blue scrumptious dessert. Catherine Russell - Aged and Mellow

From Another World - A Tribute to Bob Dylan

From Another World - A Tribute to Bob Dylan

Cover/tribute collections have been traditionally albums which have inferior artists trying their best to sound classic. Forget that noise. This CD has been put together by artists who retain their integrity. From what can be understood, the artists here took the words of Dylan, translated them into their native tongue and successfully struggled to arrange the lyrics in a manner which represent their roots.

Much as Dylan borrowed words and flavors from others and created his own unique voice, the thirteen artists on this CD do the same by borrowing from Dylan and creating their own perfect vision of the universe. Folk music at it's purest and most amazing. Every cut is special, and has me fighting to remember this is a Dylan tribute because I get lost in the power of the musicians to transform the words and tunes into a world which moves far beyond Dylan. It's easier to drop the pretense of Dylan in my mind and think Tribute. When I do that and recall that Dylan is always providing tribute to the past while breaking molds of the future, my mind grasps their purpose with happiness.

Taraf of Haidouks brings the old tune and words Dylan had borrowed with Corinna, Corinna and makes news that lifts the soul. The other twelve songs on the CD live up to this high praise also. Flavors of Cuba, Romania, India, Iran, Egypt, Australia and other world outposts. Highly recommended for those who love to taste the world with their ears.

Eartasteville January 2014

One person is reading this blog, and the nice letter told me they appreciated the list from 2013; except that it was "overwhelming". The letter asked if I could post monthly instead of yearly. I thought, why not? I could put links to the CD on amazon & youtube, and make the list more useful. Well, that turns out to be quite a chore - because this month out of the 100+ Cds that crossed my desk, a full 32 had some really great tunes. So, here is the list of 189 tunes that are playing over and over at eartasteville in January 2014. The artist link takes you to a place to purchase the song, and the song link will take you to a video. Obviously I didn't get to link the entire list; but I did get you started. Enjoy!

Eartaste Favorites of 2013

In no particular order, with no rhyme or reason aside from musical excellence, this is a list of Eartaste's favorite music in 2013. Peter Sprague pops in at the end for two reasons - save the best for last, plus he's predicting the 'End of the Internet'. A fantastic way to end 2 1/2 days+ of a music marathon. 1035 great tunes, which translates to 66.6 hours of listening! Odd, but true - definitely not planned. Blame Sarah Shook =:-)

Thomas Dybdahl - This Love Is Here To Stay b/w Man On A Wire

Soul style falsetto spiced with memories of Curtis Mayfield and Al Green, with a hint of Smokey Robinson thrown in for good measure. Throw on a dance track, repeat "this love is here to stay" and the meal is complete. Easy Tiger has deeper poetic symbols: "Some days get dated by a bitter taste. It ain't easy if it's faced." The mirror of the soul is not always pretty. Soulsister has the narrator "sometimes" dreaming in wonder - an almost optimistic acceptance, with a small amount of "sugar on your mind". Man On A Wire is the most heavily produced cut - "I keep hearing whispers in the distance" above the tasty din of drums and synthesizers. Shout outs for scenes in City Lights, and the intense stillness of But We Did as the poet digs deeper and deeper. Thomas Dybdahl - What's Left Is Forever

Emily Barker - Sleeping Horses b/w A Spadeful of Ground

Sleeping Horses teaches us of the inner life of the writer: "These stars are forever in my heart. A million stars, a million in my heart". Poetry emblazoned with music - the best combination for a full eartaste of forever. A Spadeful of Ground is an amazing folk trip through 2013. The instrumentation is thouroughly folk, yet has only the slightest spices we could label as traditional. Exquisite. "For a pocket of dirt you will lie, you will hurt. For a piece of this land you’ll have blood on your hands." Special shoutout to the poem/song Letters: "We fled towns on fire with stomachs empty. Crossed borderlines, swam the rivers dry."Emily Barker - Dear River

Mazzy Star - Seasons of Your Day

I love the way Mazzy Star blasts into a new century as if it were yesterday. The noodling guitar of "In The Kingdom" introduces us to the 1990's as if they were still alive. As a whole, the album reminds me of a dessert I've had before; but certainly do not mind having again. It brings back memories of the distant past while at the same time tastes great right now. Some of these songs have been sitting around and having everything that she sang of for a few years teasing us with expectations of a fine dinner. Mazzy Star decided to simply treat us to dessert. Interestingly "Lay Myself Down", the most electric cut on the CD, is the final plate, and Hope's voice is the instrument which keeps the Mazzy shining in the Star. Thanks!Mazzy Star - Seasons of Your Day

Gov't Mule - Shout!

The best of all parties. Get together write eleven great songs that you know 10 years from now will become a tribute album. Then decide to go ahead and make the tribute album now! Put some icing on the cake and give away the tribute album for free. Some great dessert! The first album, the one with all the great tunes is outstanding - the whole CD will be a dinner treat for weeks to come. Many music styles - all played perfectly. I love the bass and drum, and the guitar supplies some real sweet dances. The 2nd CD feels so much like major artists performing to a karaoke track at a backyard party that I wonder why Gov't Mule didn't go one step further and provide a 3rd CD that all my Texas friends can blast in their backyard on their Karoake machines & try to out-sing the best singers in the world. Why not? Too drunk to Karaoke? On first hearing Grace Potter gives a stand-out performance, so you'll find a video with her performing with Gov't Mule a few years back below.

In short, the first CD is a must-have. The second offers nothing new except for the lead singer. But that's okay, because it's free, and it's easy to party on free! Best performances on CD 2 are by Grace Potter & Toots Hibbert.

The most interesting performance on CD 2 is by Elvis Costello - Funny Little Tragedy is a high energy performance, in full rock voice. "Life has finally shown you it's a mean old world. The killer little soldier is now a scared little girl. Always had everything just handed to you always had it your way." The song would fit perfect on one of Costello's more rockin' CDs. Gov't Mule - Shout!

Pink Martini - Zundokobushi

Zundokobushi is the happy ear pleasing tune on "Get Happy". A complete banana split Sundae to make this day one of danceful delights. The original song, seen in it's glory below on TV in 1969 is the original dance that inspired Gangnam Style.You Tube will lead you to other performances by the same group with even better gangnam steps; but lesser sound quality. A fun song, a fun dance, and a fun life. The rest of the CD is not as happy, but let's dwell on the positive! Pink Martini - Get Happy

Elvis Costello & The Roots - Wise Up Ghost

The energy breathing in the first few Elvis Costello albums returns 40 years later with the opening cut flavors of Walk Us Uptown. Interestingly the melodic lines on the rest of the rest of the album drag the energy of the Roots down to a thick gruel-like consistency. The ears long for the dub version because below the dirge melody is some grooving funk. There is one other shoutout: Tripwire matches melody to both lyrical content ("just because I don't read the language doesn't mean that I'm blind to the threat") and musical sequencing. Wise Up Ghost and Other Songs

Things we missed out on

Spending a whole day listening to Elvis is great fun. It set my mind to wondering what albums we would have experienced if he had remained with us. There would have been a Costello-Presley collaboration at some point. And a 5 CD series called "The Great American Songbook" a la Rod Stewart & Willie Nelson. Of course the Willie Nelson & Tony Bennett collaborations. In the early 80's Bob Dylan would have tried to join his band as a guitar player - would Elvis had let it happen? There would have been a great year in the late 80's when he made a great rock'n'soul duet album with Tina Turner. The 90's would have given us a James Taylor duet album, with Carole King on harmonies. The King of Rock & Roll sings Carole King. My favorite album from 2002 would have been Elvis sings 12 Mazzy Star hits. 2006's favorite is when Darius Rucker joins Elvis for a hot 50th anniversary recreation of all of Elvis' 1956 sides. 36 missing years. They sure went by fast.
