*MOTO MAGNOLIA SOUNDTRACK FULL

Research led her to this Handel program of arias вЂњfrom the shadowsвЂ™вЂ™, that is, from secondary level operatic roles. As director and recitalist, Stutzmann has a busy concert schedule, with more than 50 recordings to her credit. What shines through is the raw poetic beauty of The Ballad of Ira Hayes and the Cash composition The Talking Leaves.ДЇRENCH contralto Nathalie Stutzmann makes multi-tasking an art form as she directs instrumental ensemble Orfeo 55 and also sings 13 arias from Handel operas on this CD.

*MOTO MAGNOLIA SOUNDTRACK FULL

Whereas Cash was full of righteous anger, the present-day treatments are reflective and pervaded by sadness that injustices have not been righted. There are instrumental reprises of Apache Tears and As Long As The Grass Shall Grow and the epic centrepiece of Bitter Tears. It works as a companion piece rather than a conventional tribute album. Fifty years on, the cream of AmericaвЂ™s roots artists, including Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris, have revisited the obscure yet iconic album and the project is a success on every level.

Working with folk singer Peter La Farge, he crafted Bitter Tears, a scathing song cycle which revealed Cash as an equal to Woody Guthrie as an outsider folk poet. JOHNNY Cash was an angry man in 1964, frustrated that the US civil rights movement was ignoring the travails of Native Americans. Fans of the band will no doubt lap this up. The bandвЂ™s take on The Candy Man Can makes the song sound more like an ode to the protagonist from the horror film in PrimusвЂ™s hands. For anyone unfamiliar with the band, expect to hear your childhood favourites put through a blender with equal parts slap-heavy bass, half-spoken/half-sung lyrics, funky guitar, polyrhythmic drumming, cello and percussion. For anyone familiar with both Primus and the film, this sounds exactly how you would imagine it. This is the first full-length album to feature original drummer Tim вЂњHerbвЂќ Alexander since 1995вЂ™s Tales From the Punchbowl and the trio - also comprising guitarist Larry LaLonde - are joined by percussionist Mike Dillon and cellist Sam Bass for this reworking of the soundtrack to 1971 Gene Wilder film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. PRIMUS bassist and singer Les ClaypoolвЂ™s entire career has been left-of-centre and his bandвЂ™s latest outing is no exception. Primus & The Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble (ATO/Mushroom) The circle is unbroken on Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone. ItвЂ™s a line from the opening song that gives the album its title, and there is a nice sense of something being passed on, from father to daughter, from one poet to another, one great songwriter to another.

CaleвЂ™s Magnolia, originally released on his Naturally album. The album closes with a nine-minute rendition of the late J.J. The second CD could be even stronger than the first, from the smoky late-night blues of Something Wicked This Way Comes and Big Mess (вЂњAs far as I can tell you are history/You can go straight to hell/ThatвЂ™s all right with meвЂ™вЂ™) to Byrds/Tom Petty folk-pop ( When I Look at the World) and the sweet Memphis soul of Temporary Nature (Of Any Precious Thing). ThatвЂ™s the way we do things in West Memphis, Lucinda sings.ДЄnd you donвЂ™t need me to explain what songs like Cold Day In Hell and Foolishness might be about. It is almost happy in delivery, or as happy as you can get singing about three little boys found dead in the river and a man wrongly sentenced to life in prison. LucindaвЂ™s writing about what she always has, love, sex, death, people doing you wrong and standing up to people who do you wrong.Дarkness balances with light: West Memphis features Tony Joe White on guitar (it sounds rather like a TJW song, even if Lucinda wrote it). Here she keeps strictly to the accepted conventions and instrumentation of country-rock - there isnвЂ™t a song or even a note that fans of the genre might consider a real surprise - yet there is certainly tension there too, in the stories, in that slurred delivery, which makes it feel like those stories are being told to you by someone you just ran into in a bar. That could be said of LucindaвЂ™s music too.
