a toe tappin' good time!
by tiptoethroughlove it! love every song, a great mix of upbeat and mellow songs. I am not what one would call a "country" listener- but these guys appeal to my Josh Ritter, Mason Jennings, Patty Griffin, Death Vessel- side. They fit in with the likes of those like a wool sock in a winter boot!
Crooked Jades: Neo Old Time Mastery
by banjobkpIn my cubicle I have their sticker: Old Time is not a Crime.
Yet to some, the Crooked Jade approach must be examined in the trial of definitions, the belief of what Old Time is vs. What it will be.
If Uncle Earl, Old Crow Medicine Show and the Crooked Jades are really considered Old Time, I submit to the jury that no longer do we have to wonder what the early 1900 must have sounded like in a real room instead of the scratched out low fidelity recordings of the time. Now we have proof what acoustic instruments did and do sound like. Sophistication of sound isn’t new, just the recording technique. But as we often think of Communist Countries in black and white, our perception of old time is based upon thin washed out hollow primitive recordings that could not capture the real sound and the real approach to the music of the day. These three bands are heroes in a roots revival movement, who break the mold of scripted almost religious indoctrination of a single-minded old time execution in OT jam sessions where invention is punished. The music of the day changed from artist to artist, and it is a pleasure to see these bands take the mantle of Old Time and make it their own. Credit to the historians who preserve, but credit as well to those who create new upon the foundation of the past, to make it relevant to today, changing as the artists would originally have done to own their own music.
The Crooked Jades World on Fire is nearly beyond description. Being the perfect foil to the Steve Martin quote: Talking about Music is like Dancing about Architecture. Each song has its connection and basis, in fact steeped, in Old Time sound. They have done their homework and now can legitimately claim to Own their sound through the hard work of building on then expressing their own true interpretation of Old Time that is both beyond Ancient and beyond Modern.
Analogies to Nick Cave and Tom Waits are meaningless, although we demand to have approximations to their sound. Rather I hear clearly moods and places like no other music I’ve heard. Incredibly, the mood or place, which is so completely authentic, changes so dramatically from track to track. The players so complement each other resulting in a sound that is extraordinary. If I were to propose and analogy of sound, Laurie Anderson comes to mind as each song is a piece without wasted movement, totally efficient, patient, and patently unique.
It is a pleasure to see a sound, style and skill develop over many recordings, World on Fire is their pinnacle work, to be celebrated as a masterpiece.
Organic Music - Soul Food - Highly Recommend!
by noodleheadpigWoW! I just caught their show at the Rudyard Kipling and must say they are a fine bunch of musicians. They had just acquired a family friend as their new "utility man". I was all set to buy this album last night at the show, but ran out of cash.
Anyone that is looking for some good roots music or something new and organic, this is it!
I am actually recommending this album before I have even bought it-- based on the show last night...
Rock on, guys (and gals) and congratulations Seth!
