Recording information: Studio Lith, Seattle, WA. Post-rock outfit Russian Circles takes minimal swaths of metal riffs, ambient atmospheres, & math rock gestures & fits them all together to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts. STATION, the group's sophomore release, avoids the aggressive thunder of their debut ENTER, opting instead for an artful arrangement of sonic elements in which heavy riffs & chugging percussion are balanced with softer layers of subtle effects. The result i ...

It had to happen -- if the Beatles were going to finally mine their recorded legacy for the world to enjoy, could the Rutles be far behind? Ex-Bonzo Dog Band member Neil Innes, who was the musical genius behind the original Rutles' output, got back with ex-Beach Boy Ricky Fataar & drummer John Halsey, & they finished & released Archaeology in time to take advantage of the prospects for renewed Rutlemania. The results are better than anything that Paul or Ringo has come up with in decades, ...

Ry Cooder spent the 1970s making a small pile of extremely cool records. One of them was BOOMER'S STORY. In 1972 Cooder was one of the hippest slide guitarists around. His singing, like his rhythm chops & arranging skills, has always been funky & distinctive. His taste for all things groovy & American & his breadth of knowledge (and/or willingness to seek out the missing details when necessary) led him to arrange his albums around themes. BOOMER'S STORY leans on the music of the 1930s an ...

Ry Cooder has always believed in the 'mutuality in music, ' & this may be no more evident in his career than with his fifth album, Chicken Skin Music (a Hawaiian colloquialism, synonymous with goosebumps). Even more than usual, Cooder refuses to recognize borders -- geographical or musical -- presenting ' Stand By Me' as a gospel song with a norteno arrangement, or giving the Jim Reeves country-pop classic, ' He'll Have to Go, ' a bolero rhythm, featuring the interplay of Flaco Jimenez 's accordio ...

The ersatz blues story of the film gives Ry Cooder leeway to turn in an impressive blues-derived soundtrack featuring Sonny Terry along with his usual collaborators Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner, Nathan East, & others. But it's Cooder 's guitar playing that highlights the album. ...

' The Musician's Musician.' ' The Master of the Eclectic.' There are probably a dozen more titles by which this 'guitar player' is known. To even refer to him as a guitar player is probably a gross mislabeling of this musician. He defies any sort of categorization; this is his greatest strength & for some his weakness. The theme for these nine cuts is rhythm of all different ilk. I won't even give the parameters because he seems to have none. I wondered how many different instruments he played o ...

JAZZ focuses on early ragtime & vaudeville traditions of American jazz. 3 songs (" In A Mist", Flashes & " Davenport Blues") are tributes to the legendary cornetist Bix Beiderbecke. Also included are gospel standards & a Jelly Roll Morton medley. ...

Ry Cooder understands that a great song is a great song, whether it was written before the Depression or last week. Still, at the same time he isn't afraid to explore new avenues & possibilities for the material. Like his three previous records, Paradise & Lunch is filled with treasures which become part of a world where eras & styles converge without ever sounding forced or contrived. One may think that an album that contains a traditional railroad song, tunes by assorted blues greats, an ...

Ry Cooder - Borderline

With 1980's Borderline, Ry Cooder followed the foray into R&B and soul of his previous effort, Bop Till You Drop, but this time out with a little shot of the Southwest thrown in. At the same time, he also continues the primarily electric sound of that record. As far as his selection of material goes, Borderline may sometimes lack the surprising, esoteric charm of his earlier recordings, but there are still some terrific finds, including the Tex-Mex-flavored "The Girls from Texas, which may be t
