Donnie Fritts – June: A Tribute to Arthur Alexander (2018)

Arthur Alexander’s soul classic “You Better Move On” put a tiny little Alabama town and recording studio on the musical map for eternity. As Donnie Fritts reminds us, “It was the first R&B hit to come out of the Muscle Shoals area; groups like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles loved June’s songs.” The Stones released their own version of “You Better Move On” in the US on December’s Children.

Donnie Fritts grew up with Alexander: “we were such close friends. It was in the 1950s; I was 16 and he was 18, and we hung around together all the time, which was kind of unusual at that time in Alabama, a white kid and a black kid hanging around together.” Music and songwriting bound the two friends together, and they were always helping each other take that next step in the musical landscape. “I was involved already with a little publishing company,” Fritts recalls, “and so I had Arthur come in an audition for us one day, and we loved him. All the time we were together he encouraged me to write; we went through a lot of things.”

Fritts was at Alexander’s hospital bedside when the singer died in 1993. Feeling bereft following his friend’s death, Fritts drove back to the Shoals and wrote the lyrics to “June” in remembrance of Alexander. “I wrote it the day he died. On the way back from Nashville to Muscle Shoals, I was very sad. Even though I wrote the lyrics that day, I could never find a melody I was happy with. Just recently I thought, ‘I’m gonna write this as a 6/8 soul ballad,’ and that feels right.”

The title track of this new tribute album, June, for Alexander praises the great man for his loyal friendship through the good bad times, through the lean years, through the challenges they faced as friends in a South that didn’t accept their friendship easily, or at all, and through the years of making music together. Fritts lovingly celebrates his talented friend in the opening lines of the song: “Well, I met him when I was only sixteen/We could not believe how the big man could sing/And to our surprise he wrote his own tunes/Oh, what a talent, the man we call ‘June’.”

Fritts’ moving album features a number of songs that he and Alexander co-wrote, including the gospel shouter “Thank God He Came.” Fritts recalls the night they wrote that song: “One night we were writing and we’d never written a gospel song. He was a very religiously-minded guy. It really bothered him that he was singing about God and Jesus and making money off it. I tried to convince him that the song might inspire others, but he never got over that feeling.” In Fritts’ sure voice, the song powerfully moves on up, and the backing chorus showers us with sparks of inspiration.

Fritts, backed on this album by John Paul White on guitar and vocals, David Hood on bass, Ben Tanner on keyboards, Reed Watson on drums, Kelvin Holly on electric guitar, Kimi Samson on violin, Caleb Elliott on cello, and Laura and Lydia Rodgers on harmonies, turns in his own funky version of “You Better Move On.” “You Can Come Along with Me,” an Alexander-Fritts co-write that appears on Alexander’s 1972 self-titled album, captures the aching heart of the tentativeness of a new relationship; the song opens sparely with Fritts’ gravely vocals over his piano before it opens into a soul ballad. The Latin-flavored “Lonely Just Like Me” has the seeds in it of Warren Zevon’s later “Carmelita.” The album closes with the gospel-drenched piano and harmonies of the autobiographical “Adios Amigo” (also the title of the 1994 tribute album to Alexander): “Talking about how we kind of grew up together/where we would go we would go as one/when one of us got hurt/the other would cry.”

June offers a poignant tribute to one of our greatest singers and writers by a great singer and writer who continues to miss his friend and to be influenced by him and his music. As Fritts says, Alexander was “very smart and a very amazing talent,” and June praises that talent with a gift of superlative music.

Asleep at the Wheel – New Routes (2018)

On Friday, Sept. 14, Asleep at the Wheel will release ‘New Routes,’ (Thirty Tigers) its first new material in over a decade, embarking on a new chapter in the group’s 48 year history with a fresh group of musicians and nimble musical palette. The 11-track collection of both new and familiar country, jazz, jump blues, rockabilly, Western Swing and folk, offers a blend of originals, vibrant covers, superior musicianship, and a guest vocal appearance by Seth and Scott Avett of The Avett Brothers.

Comprised of founder/leader Ray Benson (lead guitar and vocals), Katie Shore (fiddle and vocals), Eddie Rivers (steel and sax), David Sanger (drums), Dennis Ludiker (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), Josh Hoag (bass), Connor Forsyth (piano and vocals), and Jay Reynolds (sax and clarinet), Asleep at the Wheel’s performance agility takes centerstage on the record.

‘New Routes’ travels down myriad musical byways from the sly “viper” jazz groove of the album’s opener, “Jack, I’m Mellow” to the languid original ballad, “Call It A Day Tonight;” the Cajun romp of “Pass the Bottle Around” to the Americana-tinged acoustic cover of Guy Clark’s “Dublin Blues;” and the pedal-to-the-metal covers of Paolo Nutini’s “Pencil Full of Lead” and Moon Mullican’s “Seven Nights To Rock.”

For the first time since the 80’s, Benson co-wrote with a member of the Wheel for the record. “Call It A Day Tonight” is co-penned with fiddler and recent band addition, Katie Shore. The Ft. Worth, TX, native follows in the long tradition of strong and talented women who have been an integral part of the band’s identity for decades. From founding vocalist Chris O’Connell to Mary Ann Price, Rosie Flores, Cindy Cashdollar, Elizabeth McQueen and Emily Gimble, female vocalists and musicians have shaped the band’s legacy.

Benson has been the one constant in Asleep At the Wheel since the band’s inception in 1970 in Paw Paw, West Virginia. Since that time, more than 100 musicians have passed through the Wheel, but Benson remains the front man and the keeper of the vision. In the process, the band has released more than 25 albums, earned 10 Grammy awards, an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award, Academy of Country Music Award, Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction, and racked up millions of miles on the road.

“Paul Carrack returns with a brand new studio album and is ready to reach new heights with ‘These Days.’

It’s Paul’s 17th album , a run that began way back in 1980, but which has been building real, independent momentum since he formed his own Carrack-UK label in 2000 with the landmark ‘Satisfy My Soul’ release.

The album’s stunning line-up features Paul on keyboards and guitar and regular bandmate Jeremy Meek on bass, joined by Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney, Pretenders, Norah Jones, John Mayer) on lead guitar and drummer Steve Gadd, Paul’s Eric Clapton bandmate who has graced the work of everyone from Steely Dan to James Taylor.

KRISTJAN RANDALU / BEN MONDER / MARKKU OUNASKARI απουσία

Εσθονός πιανίστας με αναπτυγμένη προσωπική δισκογραφία και ανάλογες συνεργασίες, ο Kristjan Randalu έχει τώρα ένα πρώτο άλμπουμ του στην ECM (AN Music). Oτίτλος του είναι “Absence” και συμμετέχουν σ’ αυτό, πέραν του Randalu, οι Ben Monder κιθάρα και Markku Ounaskari ντραμς. Όλες οι συνθέσεις, εδώ, είναι πρωτότυπες και καθώς όλες τους ανήκουν στον Randalu μάς παρέχουν τη δυνατότητα και για κάποιες περαιτέρω επισημάνσεις σχετικές πάντα με τον τρόπο που σκέπτεται… τζαζικώς ο Εσθονός.
ajazz%2BKRISTJAN%2BRANDALU.jpg
Ένα jazz-trio χωρίς μπάσο χαρακτηρίζεται, οπωσδήποτε, από κάποιες ακουστικές ιδιαιτερότητες, πόσω μάλλον όταν και η κιθάρα δεν δρα ρυθμικώς, παίζοντας μέτρα συνήθως σ’ ένα ελεύθερο πλάνο. Υπάρχει οπωσδήποτε μια τάση για χαμηλές / αργές ταχύτητες, όπως και για ανοιχτές μελωδικές γραμμές, που άλλοτε περικλείουν κάτι από την «τζαρετική» romance, ενώ, άλλοτε, στα πιο ηλεκτρικά μέρη, αφήνουν κάτι από την αύρα των e.s.t.. Δεν ξέρω ποιες αναφορές θα μπορούσε να επικαλεστεί ο ίδιος ο Randalu για τις μουσικές του, αλλά αυτές οι δύο φρονώ πως είναι ρεαλιστικές.
Μέσα λοιπόν σ’ αυτό το ελεύθερο και κάπως αφηρημένο πλαίσιο οι μουσικές τού Εσθονού λειτουργούν «μια χαρά», απευθυνόμενες στη βάση εκείνου που ονομάζουμε «ήχος της ECM».
Μπορεί, προσωπικώς, να δηλώνω περισσότερο fan του αυθεντικού nordic κλίματος (στο οποίο περιπτωσιολογικά ανήκει και το “Absence”), όμως και αυτό που ακούω εδώ δεν στερείται ενδιαφέροντος.
