Dr. John: City That Care Forgot
by Mike Perciaccante
Dr. John is angry--and with good cause. Though saddened by the natural destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, he is pissed at the man-made tragedy that its aftermath has spawned. On City That Care Forgot he directs his anger at the White House, the mayor and police force of New Orleans, insurance companies, crooked, thieving contractors/roofers and ...
Henry Butler: PiaNOLA Live
by Mike Perciaccante
In a town famous for its piano virtuosos--Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Eddie Bo, Professor Longhair, James Booker, and even Harry Connick, Jr. (all New Orleans natives)--Henry Butler is a giant. Though his eclectic mixture of funk, blues, jazz, pop, schmaltz, rock and standards isn't everyone's cup of tea, his musical genius is legendary. Musicians and fans ...
Walter Becker: Circus Money
by Mike Perciaccante
Coming a mere 14 years after his last and first solo recording, Walter Becker's Circus Money sounds a lot like Steely Dan--jazzy, pop infused rock over witty, somewhat sarcastic and sardonic lyrics. By mixing in a bit of reggae, Becker has released an album that fits in well with the Steely Dan canon, yet stands up ...
John Mellencamp: Life, Death, Love & Freedom
by Mike Perciaccante
Packaged in an environmentally friendly cardboard sleeve, Mellencamp has called this his CD of “modern electric folksongs." Life, Death, Love & Freedom contains 14 tracks, most of which are about life, death and love--hence the title. Bluesy, but in a different manner than 2003's superb Trouble No More (Columbia), Life Death Love & Freedom is very ...
Mick Hucknall: Tribute To Bobby
by Mike Perciaccante
Two decades into his career and a good decade after his last U.S. chart success, Simply Red lead singer Mick Hucknall releases his solo debut. In many cases it's hard to differentiate the singer's solo offerings from those of Simply Red. This is as much due to the identifying tone and texture of a singer's voice ...
Rahsaan Roland Kirk: Brotherman in the Fatherland
by Mike Perciaccante
Rahsaan Roland Kirk was a master whose genius had to be seen to be believed. His live performances were legendary. Unfortunately Kirk left us in 1977; although we can never truly experience his magic live, we can still hear the electricity of his live performances. Brotherman in the Fatherland is Hyena Records' third Kirk ...
Donald Fagen Band at The North Fork Theater
by Mike Perciaccante
Donald Fagen Band The North Fork Theater Westbury, NY March 3, 2006 Donald Fagen is an enigma. He has managed a long, successful career, in and out of Steely Dan, while avoiding the standard recording of the album and tour cycle that so many artists have fallen into in the past ...
Wanda Jackson: I Remember Elvis
by Mike Perciaccante
Sometimes referred as the female Elvis Presley, often called the Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson was, and is, the first great female rocker. While dating Presley (yes, he was her boyfriend) and touring on the same bill in the mid 1950s, The King himself encouraged the young Jackson to mix country with jumpy rock 'n' roll--and ...
Donald Fagen: Morph The Cat
by Mike Perciaccante
Donald Fagen's third solo CD, his first such recording in thirteen years, blends jazz, soul, funk and just about every other musical influence you can name on nine new songs whose subject matter runs the gamut. The eclectic songs on Morph The Cat cover some interesting topics: a romantic interlude with an airport security guard ("Security ...
Moot Davis: Moot Davis
by Mike Perciaccante
If traditional Honky Tonk is what you crave, Moot Davis' self-titled debut CD may be exactly what you're looking for. Mixing western with a little hillbilly, the Trenton, New Jersey-born Davis is a throwback to “classic" country. Davis, who constantly tours with his band, Cool Deal, is a voice to be reckoned with. Now, ...
