Sing Like a Man

Jimmie Scott doesn't sing like a man, he sings like a woman, particularly in these early cuts, which he recorded for the Savoy label. The first of a 3 CD Savoy retrospective, it is a fascinating look into the early sound of this curious, heartwrenching voice. To learn more about his life and why he sounds as he does, read this in Lil' Mike's blog.

For today, I thought I would share a compilation that had a big influence on me, "wayback". I bought this CD as part of one of these 11-cds-for-99-cents deals that Columbia House had. It features some very well known songs along w some lesser known classics.

This little southern studio, product of the vibrant Memphis scene that was, unwittingly launched a revolution, in the name of Elvis Aaron Presley.

I made my pilgrimage some years ago and it was strange, being in this space, this room, where this tragedy of a man that was E. P. once stood and belted out the rockers, swooned the heartbreakers, in the middle of a poor, slowpaced, hot southern town. Incidentally, on this day, I also saw Kiss at the big pyramid shaped colysseum there, just cos the scalped tickets were cheap, and cos the Melvins were the openers. And cos I have always wanted to rock and roll all night, and party every day. Duh.

Voy a navegar, Al puerto del Alma

Este es un proyecto de dos de Los Lobos, junto con el que fué su productor en los discos "Kiko" y "This Time" y "Colossal Head", Mitchell Froom, con el ingeniero de sonido Tchad Blake. Grabado a modo de grabaciones caseras, dejando e invitando sonidos/ruidos de ambiente o incidentales, es un trabajo que crea una espesa atmósfera de intimidad, accidente, y del poder de lo simple, lo minimal.

Del primero entre dos CD's, los mejores temas:
