Indigo Girls - "2000 Curfews" Was checking the responses to the "Best Christmas Song" thread and someone mentioned "River". The version of Joni Mitchell's masterpiece - "River", as done by Indigo Girls on this Live recording, is simply beautiful. Great stuff, and a fantastic live album, from beginning to end. Was fortunate to see them live around the time of this live recording when they were at the top of their game. |
Geronimo by Shannon McNally, produced by Charlie Sexton. Though she has albums dating back to 2002, Shannon is new to me, this being the first album of her's I've heard. Though her very strong voice is quite different from Lucinda's (less "unique", less instantly identifiable, at least so far to me), her basic approach is not dissimilar from Lu's Bluesier material. Shannon really sounds like she's "one of the boys", able to hold her own in front of a rockin' band, which Charlie and company certainly provide her with. The mix was done by Trina Shoemaker, who places Shannon's voice down in the mix---a thread in the musical fabric, which is how I think Blues should be done; it sounds more like live music, where the Blues lives. I have her two most recent albums on their way to me, on LP. |
