Homeless

Amazon.com
Brazilian-born percussionist Airto Moreira is a heavy hitter whose résumé includes Miles Davis's legendary Bitches Brew in 1970, two Return to Forever LPs with Chick Corea, and Mickey Hart's Planet Drum. But if you think that means Airto's an old fart, guess again. Homeless is as radical a world-music CD as you're ever likely to find. The rarified vocals on "700 Years" and a few other cuts emphasize atmosphere over melody, meaning you won't be whistling these songs on your morning commute. But the hard-edged polyrhythms and mile-deep percussive textures will definitely rev your engine. Drum machines, samples, space synths, and hip-hop beats contributed by the Factor lend the disc a techno sensibility. But the highest voltage rhythms come from traditional instruments including bells, cymbals, mouth bow, timbales, drum kits, and an arsenal of hand drums wielded by Airto, Changuito, Pablo Silva, Meia Noite, and Amen Santos. The results combine free-floating Afro-Latin music with indigenous American touches, positing unity of spirit as an exhilarating antidote to the undercurrent of modern angst. --Bob Tarte

Finally got it.......2006-03-22

I have been after this cd for a long time, it is not available in Australia. One song on this album is not on any of his other albums (The Legend of Andrew McCrew). It is excellent quality too.

Classic Americana.......2002-06-14

"Homeless Brother" deserves to be held up beside America's greatest folk gems. A masterpiece.

More to this singer than "American Pie.".......2002-01-20

People who dismiss Don McLean as a one-hit wonder forget that, 1) he had more than one hit ("Vincent," "Dreidel" and his cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying") and, 2) making hit records was never his be-all and end-all. The best thing "American Pie" ever did for McLean was make it possible for him to make the albums HE wanted to with little regard for the suits, and HOMELESS BROTHER is a great example of a "loose" concept album that holds together quite well.

The concept--exploring the stories of the down-and-outers of the road--could've been overly-romantic in the hands of someone else, but McLean is careful to show the dark side. "Legend of Andrew McCrew" is the best example, a macabre and apparently true story of a traveling carnival's exhibition of the mummified corpse of an anonymous hobo found dead and unclaimed by railroad tracks. McLean's retelling of this is sardonic without being too heavy-handed and the song and performance work. The title song is in the same vein as songs like "Hobo's Prayer" and "Hobo's Lullaby," and covers of George Harrison's "Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away, Raymond)" and a terrific acapella version of "Crying In The Chapel" (featuring the Persuasions on backup!) are excellent and serve this overview well.

The songs that don't fall into this concept are a mixed bag; McLean is capable of more than a little schmaltz and in a couple of songs it's a little too much, but "Wonderful Baby" is a great Thirties-style crooning tune sung for a newborn that swings and soothes.(I understand that Fred Astaire later covered this--I can believe it!) Overall, this album shows Don McLean as a troubador in fine form, which is what it ought to be all about.

A nice surprise.......2001-07-08

A tape pf this ablum somehow appeared in my car about 20 years ago. I listened to it and fell in love; you can sing along, cry along or laugh along .... and all those emotions are sure to be triggered.

Being an ICU nurse the tale of Andrew McCrew especially sticks my heart and my rather twisted sense of humor.

Thanks for more information on the album...will definately have to try to pick up a CD. Charlie Lake Elsinore

Don McClean the storyteller does what he does best........1999-03-11

This album, released in 1974, was not a huge commercial success for Don, but artistically it is very representative of his work. And, true to form, it is a bit quirky at times. Like "The Legend of Andrew McGrew", the story of a hobo who was killed by a train near the turn of the century, and was mummified and displayed as a carnival attraction for 50 years!

A very special tune is "Wonderful Baby". A good tune, and one that should have become a standard.

All-in-all, one of Don's better works, and a must for a serious collector.

Includes Rare Early Recordings by Tab Benoit & Joe Bonamassa.......2007-05-18

What initially drew me to this Cd was the inclusion of two of my favorite guitarists - Ronnie Earl & Joe Bonamassa. What was surprising is that Joe recorded his track when he was only 15. Although the song comes across like a '70's Foghat tune, Joe certainly shows signs of things to come as he was pretty amazing even then. The best song is Tab Benoit's superb 'Nice and Warm.' Surpisingly both of his tracks are his first recordings done in 1992. It's easy to see why he's gone on to have a successful career. Guitar Rhumba shows Sue Foley's ability, but it comes in at a very short 2.5 minutes. Some poignant other songs which drive home the Cd's theme and reason for being - to provide financial support and raise awareness for a good cause - the National Coalition for the Homeless. At around $3, it's definitely a bargain.

Must own- nearly a 5.......2007-01-25

A couple dud tracks keep this from being a 5, but the good tracks are great.

The version of Nice and Warm Tab Benoit laid down for this is better than the original release, and as close to live as you'll get, and Clarence Gatemouth Brown will raise the hair on the back of your neck with The Drifter.

Interspersed between some serious blues is some more folksy stuff and some nice piano work from Dr. John, but the whole album works very well as a whole for a collaboration. In time, you'll find that the powerful Brother Can You Spare a Dime is as much a favorite as the more raucus, gritty work by Benoit and Gatemouth. The samples selected to listen to don't really convey how good this album is.

As I type this there are used copies for $2.99- buy one already.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo proved itself pliable enough when the a capella group was heavily featured on Paul Simon's Graceland. Other crossover collaborations have followed, but few work as seamlessly as this collection, which features old LBM songs, Zulu traditionals and European classical material done in collaboration with the English Chamber Orchestra. The rich vocal sound literally fuses with the classical musicians in much the same way as a classical choral group does. To its credit, the orchestra (and arranger Isak Roux) loosens up to fit the more oral/aural traditions of the singers--the music is less precise and reliant on virtuosity. The orchestra provides a particularly sympathetic counterpoint on the traditional "Awu Wemadoda" and is downright playful sounding on "Dona Nobis Pacem." Sounding as elegant and reverent, Ladysmith more than meets the orchestra halfway on the famous Bach choral piece "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring." Making borders and boundaries irrelevant, this is a work of startling beauty that couldn't be improved upon. --Tad Hendrickson

Simply Amazing!.......2007-02-12

I have been a fan of Ladysmith for many years and have a few of their albums but this is simply amazing! Music truly has no boundaries and they have used their God given talent to touch the lives of many people. It doesn't sound like it's possible, but they have really crossed many boundaries and this album is just another example of how far one can go if only they believe!

One world.......2007-01-12

This CD has multipal messages, but the one that strikes me most is the juxtaposition of European "classical" and African "classical". The human soul is one and at the same time unique. That message comes through clearly, and as a bonus, the powerful messages that each track provides in both content and style must not be missed.

Beautiful.......2005-04-26

I had never heard of this group before and since I like to investigate different types of music, I decided to give it a try. I have truly enjoyed this CD. The more I listen, the more I like. I would highly recommend.

Breathtaking! .......2005-02-11

When I first saw the album, I thought---what???? Traditionally, Ladysmith Black Mambazo sings acapella with the notable exceptions of the times they accompany Paul Simon. The group sings a beautiful, close harmony and uses vocalese techniques to provide the occasional percussive click or ululation. Still, the lineup was hard to resist.

"No Boundaries" is pretty amazing stuff, let me tell you. With the help of the English Chamber Orchestra directed by Ralph Gothoni, the two groups meet together on each other's common ground. Ladysmith sings traditional "Amazing Grace", Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" Schubert's "Sanctus." Then the orchestra gets into the African groove for music from South Africa.

Altogether a beautifully arranged, sung, and orchestrated work. If you are new to Ladysmith, this is a good CD to start. If you're an old fan, you'll definitely want "No Boundaries" to complete your collection.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful........2005-02-05

The collaboration between Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the English Chamber Orchestra cannot be improved. The sound that both ensembles make together truly is beautiful indeed, as the original Mambazo songs (of which includes "Jabulani (Rejoice)", "Lifikile Ivangeli (The Gospel Arrives)"), the Zulu traditional selections ("Awu Wemadoda (Hey, Man)", "Walil'Umntwana (The Child is Crying)") to the classicals "Dona Nobis Pacem", a joyous song in its own right, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Ave Verum Corpus". This album definately and distinctly proves that music has no boundaries. Mambazo founder and lead singer Joseph Shabalala and Orchestra conductor Ralf Gothoni (along with arranger Isak Roux) have brought to their many fans a selection of compelling and captivating tunes.

Open up a blender, insert the vibe of old-school U2, the edge of Alice & Chains, and the poetry of Peter Gabriel, and you would come up with something close to this album.

They are developing a solid midwestern club following. Having checked them out live a couple of times, I found the album captures their energy. These guys rock.

Historically significant choral works, wonderfully performed.......2004-05-31

For over 10 years, The VocalEssence Ensemble Singers and Chorus (conducted by Philip Brunelle) has presented an enduring series of concerts showcasing the talents of trailblazing African American composers. Now this wealth of music is available outside the concert hall through a series of recordings called WITNESS.

DANCE LIKE THE WIND presents works by eight African American composers from various generations, though they all emerged after the neo-classical period of non-discrimination. You'll hear loyalty to classic idioms like the spirituals and blues, but also elements of more recent genres like R&B, gospel and rap. Enclosed are excellent liner notes and biographical information.

The other three CDs are available as single titles, or in the boxed set entitled THE WITNESS COLLECTION which includes:

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD: Spirituals and Gospels for Chorus
GOT THE SAINT LOUIS BLUES: Classical Music in the Jazz Age
SKYWARD MY PEOPLE ROSE: Music of William Grant Still
DANCE LIKE THE WIND

Album Description

The 2000 debut of Barbara Manning's new millennium power trio, the Go Luckys, comes off very much like the strained recollection of several hard years (and a career of commercial failures) that it is. New collaborators Fabrizio and Flavio Steinbach bring enthusiasm to this six-song EP that adds an ironic edge to Manning's pensive indie rock rather than transforming it. A typically strong offering from one of indie rock's overlooked champions. Innerstate Records.

Charming, in a low rent kind of way.......2000-09-07

Barbara Manning is a talented and intensely personal songwriter who has toiled in indie obscurity for well over a decade. She's part of the San Francisco music scene that has spawned such acts as the Cat Heads and the Donner Party. Like those long defunct bands, she's revered by the college radio crowd but has failed to make any impact on the charts. And like some of those musicians (I met and interviewed the Cat Heads, and I remember their bile), she is somewhat bitter about that. Barbara has always sounded slightly off kilter, like the soprano in the choir whose voice can't quite hit that high register or the guitarist who can't quite manage to tune their guitar properly. Her dusky voice blends well with her homespun confections and you could easily slot her in with such acts as Yo La Tengo. Unfortunately, she lacks YLT's supporting players. A troubadour is all well and good, but not when she mates her rather thin voice with workmanlike guitar playing and recordings that sound like she recorded them at the bottom of a well. So, this listener would love to see her join forces with an instrumentally versatile band and an ace producer.

I give this four stars for the reasons mentioned above, and also because this EP is overpriced. Skip this one and pick up One Perfect Green Blanket instead.

Not enough bang for the buck.......2000-05-26

This is an EP. It is overpriced. For the dieharest of diehardest only

!.......2000-05-06

"Homeless Where the Heart is" is a fantastic album by quite possibly the greatest artist ever. The packaging is beautiful, the music is beautiful....and the ever-beautiful Ms. Manning is....well...beautiful. She 'rocks' I guess you could say on this CD and her bass playing on "Old Woman" is great! The liner notes from Barbara make you realise how great she is. But more than the packaging and the liner notes, the songs stand for themselves. "Isn't Lonely Lovely" (reprised from the also fabulous "1212", this time with louder guitars and no trumpets) is a great way to end this little but great CD from an artist who can travel half-way around the world, but still give us genius songs and feelings the way only her voice and guitar (and bass, too!) can. Thanks Barbara. You always make me feel at home, and I think you would even if I was homeless. Because Barbara Manning is where the heart is. And, Barbara, my heart is with you.

Spellbinding male vocal chorus!.......2002-07-27

Periodically a CD comes across my desk that leaves me totally breathless and excited beyond words. Behind The Scenes Homeless CD is just one of those works that made the heart palpitate and the blood rush like a torrid river through my veins. Everything about this music is flawless, from Melrow's self-harmony to the driving dance/goth grooves. Dare I say that it blows the Sisters of Mercy and The Merry Thoughts out of the water? If ever an underground work was ready for cross over appeal to the broadcast arena, this is the CD that can and should do it. To add more to the pot of good fortune, the US release has additional tracks, a remix by DJ Shok, one from Rogue of The Cruxshadows and the single version of the song human, currently available on MP3.com.

This CD is getting a LOT of New York club play and with good reason. It appeals to both fans of synth-pop and goth rock without veering towards either side too heavily.

Dare I say that this Cd is like a drug? Once you turn it on, you never want it to end. One can easily get mentally lost into the background choruses, which will spin your mind into a swirling dervish style of ecstasy. By the time you have played the CD for the third time in succession, which you will once you hear it in its entirety, you will be singing along to every song.

Rather than belabor the issue with a song-by-song detail, just trust that every track on this CD is a mesmerizing masterpiece that you just MUST own. I know my next quest is to locate any other music by this band because I simply will not want go without any of their work. So in three words: BUY THIS NOW!
