Artist: Willie Nelson Album: American Classic Label: Blue Note Year: 2009; release: August 25, 2009 Format, MP3 bitrate VBR: 192 ~ 320 Kbps Size: 57.28 MB
The album was nominated at the 52nd Grammy Awards for Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
When Willie Nelson took the unexpected step of releasing Stardust in 1978, many predicted that the album of popular standards would severely derail the outlaw country singer's career. Confounding the critics, the disc became Nelson's best-selling effort, and spawned a whole subgenre of modern singers covering the classics. Nelson revisited the format with 1994's orchestral Healing Hands of Time and to varying degrees on several other records, but it wasn't until 2009's American Classic that the red-headed stranger delivered an album billed as the true follow-up to Stardust. Released on the venerable Blue Note label, the disc features guest appearances by superstar jazz singers Norah Jones and Diana Krall, but the focus is always placed squarely on Nelson's famously idiosyncratic vocals. American Classic does not feature Nelson's veteran band, but rather a core group of first-call studio jazz cats including Christian McBride on bass, Joe Sample on piano, and Lewis Nash on drums. The resultant sound is smooth, classy, and subtle -- a sonic horse of a different color from the exquisitely ramshackle earthiness that made Stardust so appealing and unusual. On tunes such as the jaunty, gently swinging "On the Street Where You Live" and "Since I Fell for You," which features longtime Nelson cohort Mickey Raphael on bluesy harmonica, Nelson sounds comfortable and in command, gliding effortlessly and soulfully over a great set of tunes played by top-notch pros.~ Pemberton Roach, All Music Guide
Artist: Xhange Album: Uma Frase Qualquer Label: Anjo Pro-Edit Year: 1996 Quality: mp3; vbr Size: 46.37 MB
Xhange is Joao Ferreira. Portuguese. Born in Central-African Republic. Joao began playing piano in Coimbra (Portugal) at the age of five. He stopped his classical education ten years later and started playing in local rock bands, forming a jazz-rock band, Mazary-Shariff. At the same time Joao started playing flute. At the age of twenty Joao moved to Montpellier, France where he opened a macrobiotic restaurant and also performed as piano-bar musician. Seven years later Joao moved to his native country Central-African, where he played with a rock, jazz and Latin band, Climats. At the same time he started a very deep collaboration with the National Ballet, studying and performing pygmees and bantous rhythms and melodies, with which he did a tour in France in the summer of 1993. In November 1993 Joao moved to Angola where he teaches music in both Portuguese and French. In February 1995 he started recording the first album Xhange - "Vamos Vivendo".
The music of this CD was composed by Joao Ferreira to the Companhia de Danca Contemporanca de Luanda, for the choreography created by Ana Clara Guerra Marques "Uma Frase Qualquer". This is probably the first creation in Africa for this kind of purpose - To compose original urban African music corresponding to the evolution of African people. This CD is a mix of traditional rhythms, songs, instruments and modern themes composed by modern instruments. ~ musicdiscoveries.com

Artist: Various Album: From Boppin’ Hillbilly To Red Hot Rockabilly [4 CD] Released: 2006 Label: Proper Box Quality: mp3 CBR 320 Size: 121+119+117+120 MB
This delightful and valuable set collects 120 tracks of vintage amped-up honky tonk and country boogie, beginning with releases from 1951 and stretching through to Elvis Presley's Sun years and the rockabilly explosion of 1955, effectively sketching out how what Carl Perkins called "country music with a beat" evolved and shifted into the monster known as rock & roll. Most of these sides are quite rare and many have never been anthologized before, so this box is sure to delight collectors, but the four discs also have a natural flow to them that keeps things from being too academic and makes this release a natural for a long road trip.
What is Skiffle you may ask? Early incarnations of the Beatles were influenced by the skiffle craze. Skiffle is a type of Folk music with a Jazz and Blues influence, usually using homemade or improvised instruments such as the washboard, tea chest bass, kazoo, cigar-box fiddle, musical saw, comb and paper, and so forth, as well as more conventional instruments such as acoustic guitar and banjo. Skiffle and jug band music are closely related. Skiffle was particularly popular in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s.
Artist: Sam Collins Album: Jailhouse Blues Label:Yazoo Records Year: 1990 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kbps Size: 91,9 mb
Known as "Crying" Sam Collins, after the eerie, falsetto quality of his voice, the artist in fact had many nicknames. A rather prolific recording artist, less than half of the 50 sides he cut saw release. Often the same tune would crop up on different labels necessitating a variety of pseudonyms (including "Bunny Carter," "Big Boy Woods," and "Salty Dog Sam"). Jailhouse Blues collects the bulk of the guitarist's commercially released output. Perhaps not as expressive or emotionally exhilarating as the "hard" Mississippi Delta singers, Collins' voice has an accessible, undeniable beauty.

WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY TWO
The Grateful Dead were already established as paragons of the free-form, improvisational San Francisco psychedelic sound when they abruptly shifted gears for the acoustic Workingman's Dead, a lovely exploration of American roots music illuminating the group's country, blues, and folk influences...
Artist: Grateful Dead Album: American Beauty Label: Warner Bros / Rhino / WEA Release: 1970 Style: Folk - Rock Format, bitrate: mp3 320 kb/s Time: 42:21 Size: 101 Mb (coves) WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY TWO A companion piece to the luminous Workingman's Dead, American Beauty is an even stronger document of the Grateful Dead's return to their musical roots. Sporting a more full-bodied and intricate sound than its predecessor thanks to the addition of subtle electric textures, the record is also more representative of the group as a collective unit, allowing for stunning contributions from Phil Lesh (the poignant opener, "Box of Rain") and Bob Weir ("Sugar Magnolia"); at the top of his game as well is Jerry Garcia, who delivers the superb "Friend of the Devil," "Candyman," and "Ripple." Climaxing with the perennial "Truckin'," American Beauty remains the Dead's studio masterpiece — never again would they be so musically focused or so emotionally direct. - Jason Ankeny at AMG

WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY TWO
The Grateful Dead's fourth title was likewise their first extended concert recording. Spread over two LPs, Live/Dead (1969) finally was able to relay the intrinsic sonic magnificence of a Dead show in real time. Additionally, it unleashed several key entries into their repertoire, including the sidelong epic and Deadhead anthem"Dark Star" as well as wailing and otherwise electrified acidic covers of the Rev. Gary Davis blues standard "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and the R&B rave-up "(Turn on Your) Lovelight." . . .
Artists: Neil Young Album: After The Gold Rush Label: SomeWax Recordings Year: 2001 Original Release: 1970 Format, bitrate: MP3, 320 kbs/s Size: 110 Mb Total time: 48:06 AMG Rating:
Neil Young Named 2010 MusiCares Person Of The Year. Congratulations!
In the 15 months between the release of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After the Gold Rush, Neil Young issued a series of recordings in different styles that could have prepared his listeners for the differences between the two LPs. His two compositions on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album Déjà Vu, "Helpless" and "Country Girl," returned him to the folk and country styles he had pursued before delving into the hard rock of Everybody Knows; two other singles, "Sugar Mountain" and "Oh, Lonesome Me," also emphasized those roots. But "Ohio," a CSNY single, rocked as hard as anything on the second album. After the Gold Rush was recorded with the aid of Nils Lofgren, a 17-year-old unknown whose piano was a major instrument, turning one of the few real rockers, "Southern Man" (which had unsparing protest lyrics typical of Phil Ochs), into a more stately effort than anything on the previous album and giving a classic tone to the title track, a mystical ballad that featured some of Young's most imaginative lyrics and became one of his most memorable songs. But much of After the Gold Rush consisted of country-folk love songs, which consolidated the audience Young had earned through his tours and recordings with CSNY; its dark yet hopeful tone matched the tenor of the times in 1970, making it one of the definitive singer/songwriter albums, and it has remained among Young's major achievements.

WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY ONE
Joan Baez 5 was where the singer's music experienced its first major blossoming. Having exhausted most of the best traditional songs in her repertory on her four prior LPs, Baez had to broaden the range of her music, and she opened up some promising new territory in the process. Baez and Vanguard Records must also have recognized by 1964 that the folk audience was changing and, in fact, was no longer just the "folk" audience — they were expecting current compositions in a folk vein, especially topical material, and also a certain degree of eclecticism, and Joan Baez 5 runs the gamut from classical to country.. . .

WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY ONE
Although he'd been a fixture on the East Coast folk circuit for several years, Arlo Guthrie did not release this debut album until mid-1967. A majority of the attention directed at Alice's Restaurant focuses on the epic 18-plus-minute title track, which sprawled over the entire A-side of the long-player. However, it is the other half-dozen Guthrie compositions that provide an insight into his uniformly outstanding — yet astoundingly overlooked — early sides on Warner Bros.. . .

WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY ONE
Born to Be, Melanie Safka's 1969 debut, is an intriguing curate's egg. Neither Melanie, nor her producer-husband Peter Schekeryk, seem sure exactly where her strengths lie, so she is cast in a number of roles: Piaf-imitating chanteuse ("In the Hour"), soul-searching, angst-heavy troubadour ("Momma Momma"), giggling novelty figure ("Animal Crackers") and children's entertainer ("Christopher Robin Is Saying His Prayers"). Stranger still, half the time the experiment works; the small ensemble, led by her own enthusiastic (if thoroughly inexpert) guitar playing creates an arty, coffeehouse ambience in which Melanie's idiot-savant act flourishes. But the less said about her attack at "Merry Christmas" the better. - Charles Donovan, AMG

WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY ONE
Tim Hardin's debut album was something of a happy accident, a killer record at least a third of which was comprised of tracks intended as demos, while another half utilized a string orchestra that the artist knew nothing about. Whatever its origins, Tim Hardin 1 is one of the most powerful and compelling records of its era, encompassing deeply personal and compelling poetry, blues, rock, and folk in settings ranging from stripped-down Sun Records-style rock & roll to lightly orchestrated folk-rock. The beautiful, briskly paced "Don't Make Promises" — which, along with "Reason to Believe," became one of the two huge songwriting hits here — opens the album on an ambitious note, its sound mixing a small-band and string section behind a confessional lyric. . . .

WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY ONE For their second album, the ISB officially downsized to the duo of Mike Heron and Robin Williamson. Lumped in with the psychedelic movement, that categorization was probably more due to the trippy cover graphics, the occasional Indian influences, and the whimsical, sometimes fantasy-ridden lyrical images than the music. It's more like a slightly cosmic version of traditional British folk than psychedelic rock. Although their next album, The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, is usually considered their most adventurous, some listeners may find this to be the more accessible effort. It also featured what is probably Williamson's best-known song, "First Girl I Loved" (also familiar via Judy Collins' cover version, "First Boy I Loved"). - Richie Unterberger, AMG
Artist: Sweetwater Album: Sweetwater Label: Reprise Records Release: 1968 Format, bitrate: mp3, 256 kb/s Time: 37:02 Size: 86,3 Mb (covers)
WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY ONE
Collector's Choice Sweetwater is the only Sweetwater album to feature Nanci Nevins on vocals throughout, and it's hard to get a grip on. Sometimes it's attractive Californian folk-pop-psych not too far removed from the Mamas & the Papas, as on "Through an Old Storybook"; sometimes it's trying for a rock-Baroque-classical-jazz fusion, although the material doesn't match the ambitions of the arrangements. Whether intentionally or otherwise, Nevins' vocals often recall those of Grace Slick, though she isn't as good. On "My Crystal Spider," they seem to be going for a far-out psychedelic sound; the ascending and descending bit of harsh electronics in the middle sounds uncomfortably close to effects employed, earlier and to more effective use, by the United States of America on "Hard Coming Love." When bands, even on their first album, make multiple comparisons to more renowned acts so inevitable that these form the bulk of a review, it's a good indication that the musicians were not in the same league as those they were trying to emulate. - Richie Unterberger, AMG
Artist: Richie Havens Album: Mixed Bag Label: Verve Records Release: 1967 Format, bitrate: mp3á 320 kb/s Time: 38:21 Size: 94,0 Mb (covers) AMG Rating:
WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY DAY ONE
Richie Havens' finest recording, Mixed Bag captures the essence of his music and presents it in an attractive package that has held up well. A close listen to lyrics like "I Can't Make It Anymore" and "Morning, Morning" reveals sadness and loneliness, yet the music is so appealingly positive that a listener actually comes away feeling uplifted. In fact, on most of the songs on this album, it's the sound of Havens' distinctive voice coupled with his unusual open-E guitar tuning, rather than the specific lyrical content of the songs, that pulls the listener in. The six-and-a-half minute "Follow" is structured like a Dylan composition in the "Hard Rain" mode, with its memorable verse-ending refrain, "Don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream." Both "Sandy" and "San Francisco Bay Blues" have a jazzy feel, while the aforementioned "I Can't Make It Anymore" would not have been out of place in a movie soundtrack or pop radio playlist of the time. "Handsome Johnny," one of Havens' best known songs as a result of the Woodstock film, is a classic anti-war ballad, stoked by the singer's unmistakable thumb-chorded guitar strumming. Mixed Bag winds up with a soulful cover of Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" and an electric piano-propelled take on the Lennon-McCartney classic, "Eleanor Rigby." - Jim Newsom, AMG
