here is what is...

i just watched the dvd from daniel lanios here is what is and i am reminded of how influential he has been to music over the last twenty years or so as well as my own musical taste. i think he is the most under appreciated artist of my day and one who moves me more than most. from dylan, peter gabriel, the neville bros to u2 he has shaped some of the finest records and his solo works are classics in my collection. he has also spawned other great music makers from bill dillon, chris whiltley to malcolm burn. the film also highlights his synchronisisty with drummer brian blades. a bad dude with style, soul and groove unmatched as a drummer. i can remember playing acadie for the first time and being swept away...marveling at the unique, haunting soundscapes. this post is just a tribute and a recomendation to watch the dvd too...

Richard,

You can hear brief selections from his group, "Brian Blade and the Fellowship" at AMG (All Music Guide).

After sampling all of his albums I preferred the one titled, "Season of Changes," 2008 on Verve. I just added it to my ship cue at yourmusic.com.

Funny how things work sometimes...went to a friends this weekend with who I trade and share a lot of music and asked him the same, and he immediatly produced all of the Fellowship band cds. His recommendation was the same as Albert's. So I listened to the 'Season of Changes' several times this weekend...will need to add it to the collection for sure.

you can also catch brian blades in the dvd from joni mitchel, painting with words and music along with mark isham, larry klein and greg leisz. great versions of allot of joni classics...amelia, hejira, magdelene laundaries, harrys house and a bunch more. good sound (5.1dd) and video although i think my copy is not 16:9...
