FMA: The Relatives: Live at WFMU's Benefit Concert at the Bell House January, 2013 - "Texas gospel legends The Relatives raise the roof with their blend of psychedelic soul and funk. In the '70s they toured nationwide with the likes of The Staple Singers, and The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, among others. At that time they were pressing small batches of 45s, but never got big outside of Texas.
They disbanded in the early '80s, but when a compilation of their obscure, out-of-print 45s came out a few years ago, The Relatives got back together. Now with production help from Jim Eno of Spoon, and backing from Zach Ernest (Black Joe Lewis) and others, they've come out with their first ever full length album, The Electric Word."
Free at bandcamp. ''The Sun Rises In Thousands Of Lakes And Forests (EP)'' by Augustus Bro & Gallery Six.
Brooding ambient stuff, a bit Pete Namlook-ish so far.
ETA, track 2 is rather nice.
Man, I could have just claimed Anthrax tickets for tonight simply by posting on First Avenue's Facebook page, but I'm busy tonight. I'm not an Anthrax fan, but that would have been awesome.
Just starting to get into Jane's many and varied Cuban-inflected jazz projects. This one is at Guvera, as are several others.
Canadian saxophonist/flautist Jane Bunnett's latest installment in her long and amply requited love affair with Cuban music directs our attention to changüi, a precursor to son from the eastern part of the island that dates back to the late eighteenth century. Two changüi ensembles, from Santiago and Guantánamo (the latter featuring the incredible singing of José A. Moreaux Jardines on "Vamos Para Guaso Compay ), are featured on several tracks. The complex history of the music makes for interesting liner notes: isolated from the centrifugal economic and cultural forces that emanated from Havana, changüi also developed in the shadow of the US military presence at Guantánamo, and hence incorporated various American musical forms.
Laid this baby on the co-workers today and amazingly no one complained, at all - well, the volume was moderate, unfortunately, but the boys sound very good on this new (old) live release -

Excellent Dixie revival. Gu! (For the record, the second comes up under the title Brass Band with Freddie Coleman)
Also excellent. Also Gu!

Useless information: Joey Belladonna from Anthrax is I think the most famous native of my tiny hometown (Oswego, NY).
