Jim White - Drill a Hole in That Substrate and Tell Me What You See

A strange beast is this Jim White. Starting to make music in the forties, already formed as an author, with a vision of merging traditional and modern, he gave to us a few great, emotionally high and very advanced recorded country - rock albums. Old and new, on Jim White records are connected in one, while the quality of the melody and lyrics always heating up our senses, guaranteeing satisfaction :)

After all, listen to yourself :)

Chuck Prophet - Soap and Water

Chuck Prophet is engaged with commercial sound, there is no doubt. And it works very well. And given that a good song is imperative of any genre, and if we take as a criterion necessity for adaptation to today's sound, through production, this album stands as one of the pillars of popular music.
Unstable statement, you say, but check it yourself :)

Los Lobos - Good Morning Aztlán

If you are the average music consumer, you know about them through their eternal summer hit "La Bamba." If it happen that you are interested in a bit more, in front of you is one of the best mainstream rock bands ever.
And what about me? I'm, of course, interested :)

Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears

Today's post fostered a classic sound. First reason for that is music itself. Quality of interpretation here is very high. Lucinda is at the very top of the U.S. country pop/rock production, her strong personality raised her high above the average. A second, essentially, i am alternative person. But, a long time ago, I realized one thing. If I, with my alternative thinking reject everything else, i'm then conservative idiot. Not to mention the sacrifice of various pleasures....
And precisely there is the key, in pleasures. Because, Lucinda wild and melancholy world makes me very happy  :)

Calexico - Carried to Dust

Joe Burns and John Convertino explores the possibilities of sound for nearly thirty years, and, i believe, they visited all of its fields. Also, it can be said that the quality of their work is no longer questionable...
So, the only thing we can discuss here is the relationship between the audience and their music. And if we explore relationship between this album and its consumers, and if we measure how many times a person can say, "Well, this is great" every time after  listen to it, the average score so far is infinite :) Now, you can say that i'm speaking nonsense, nothing is so good, but your argument in the present is totally negligible. So, contact me for a  twenty years approximately :)

If you did not understand, timeless music :)

Victoria Williams - Loose

This album is so fantastic, words can't help here. Victoria is very strange girl, I can say. By genre, this is Americana, but this is million miles from everything, unique voice in music. Today is the pop time, sweet, nice songs on every corner, even alternative music is pop. It is very boring if you ask me, but I must accept that. Victoria is also Goddess in that context. There are so many beautiful songs on “Loose”. So, if you want drive with her, just jump in car, she is very, very good driver on the way to your new sensibility.

Ry Cooder - Chavez Ravine

What you can say about album which contain roots rock, atmospheric pieces, Latin and Cuban songs, minimal guitar solos, some R&B, maybe, communist and class war themes, UFOs, all this anachronistic genres and ideas in the same pot, glued with modern production. Is there some connection between all this? Yes, all songs are beautiful and you can dance, too  :)
