THE RIDES - CAN'T GET ENOUGH
The
Rides, the new blues-rock supergroup featuring legendary songwriter Stephen
Stills, guitar slinger Kenny Wayne Shepherd and venerable Electric Flag
keyboardist Barry Goldberg, are celebrating their stellar first week chart
debut @ #42 of their album "Can’t Get Enough" on the Billboard Top
200 Albums chart. The album is also dominating several blues charts with a #2
debuts on Billboard and Amazon's blues charts and #1 at iTunes. They have built
an amazing buzz with phenomenal radio support, rave reviews, exclusive
premieres and national touring. Says
American Songwriter Magazine: "The unbridled energy that shoots out of
this live in-studio recording…is obvious from the opening swampy riff." which
The multi-generational outfit's debut album, "Can't Get Enough" on CD, digital, and vinyl was released August
27 on 429 Records. Featuring four
co-written originals, a handful of covers, and a vintage, previously unrecorded
Stills gem, Can't Get Enough was inspired by—and is an homage to—the
now-classic 1968 album Super Session, which featured Stills on guitar on one
side, and the late Mike Bloomfield on the other (Bloomfield had founded
Electric Flag with Goldberg, who also played on Super Session, as did Blood,
Sweat & Tears keyboardist Al Kooper). The Rides "Can't Get
Enough" landing at #42 is 429 Records third Billboard Top 200 debut
release this year. It follows the smash success of Boz Scaggs'
"Memphis" and LL Cool J's "Authentic."
STEVE DALACHINSKY / JOELLE LEANDRE - THE BILL HAS BEEN PAID
A strong
pairing of the voice of Steve Dalachinsky and bass of Joelle Leandre – laid out
here in a spare setting that may well make the album one of Steve's best so
far! Dalachinsky is way more than just your regular jazz singer – more of a
writer and a speaker, yet still with a sense of timing that makes his place in
the recording studio really necessary – as his words really have a sense of
illumination on the space of a record, one that takes them way past their
presence on a page! Steve's presentation of the words is never overdone, and
makes for a great pairing with Leandre's always-sensitive work on bass – and
the set features a few instrumental passages that have Joelle stepping out on
her own. Titles include "Vocalise", "Interlude 1",
"Son Of The Sun", "Sweet & Low", and "Interlude
3". ~ Dusty Groove
NANA, DORI & DANILO CAYMMI - CAYMMI
The Caymmis
do a great job of summing up their family legacy here – working on a set of
tunes mostly written by the elder Dorival Caymmi, but given a set of youthful
arrangements by Dori Caymmi – and sung beautifully by all three members of the
family! Vocals alternate nicely – so that Nana's dusky style is in the lead at
some times, Danilo's jazzier approach dominates at others, and Dori's soulful
sound holds the whole thing together. Dori produced and arranged the set, and
also plays acoustic guitar – and titles include "Retirantes",
"Acaca", "Cantiga De Cego", "Fiz Uma Fiagem",
"Roda Piao", "Historia Pro Sinhozinho", "Caminhos Do
Mar", and a few "pot pourri" tracks". ~ Dusty Groove
