An album full of interesting and imaginative female-fronted psychedelic folk rock. The Art Of Lovin’ – The Art Of Lovin’ CD (Early Dawn)Ī reissue of The Art Of Lovin’s one and only album, originally on the legendary US label Mainstream in 1968. High-energy reggae fusion with lyrical content advocating equal rights, justice, universal love and Rastafari awareness through a militant persona. They also point to her confidence and growing range as a live vocalist.Īrmy Gideon – Forsake Not CD (Uhuru Boys) Her vocal performances reflect her recent listening habits, which include Motown and soul, as well as albums by the eclectic rock band Little Feat. Andrews’ own vocals are notably more powerful and soulful – especially on the organ-heavy blues number “Border,” with a ragged weariness that honors the immigrant’s resilience in the face of blatant thoughtlessness and racism and “Took You Up,” a take on accepting love as a simple offering before any illusion of wealth or success. White adds backing vocals throughout, including on the stunning title track, a striking statement of purpose that blooms at the end thanks to layers of soulful harmonies. Every instrument and sound have their proper place, across diverse styles: proud piano ballads (“Rough Around The Edges”) easygoing, country-tinted rock (“Kindness Of Strangers”) and biting, sarcastic folk gems (“I’ve Hurt Worse”). The album is full of vivid depictions of complex people and places with all too common struggles.
It’s an inward reflection on the connectivity of their stories and her own. That is, it’s not so much inspired by Courtney Marie Andrews’ life on the road so much as it is by the people she’s met along the way. Ĭourtney Marie Andrews – May Your Kindness Remain CD/LP (Fat Possum)Īlthough May Your Kindness Remain was predominately written on the road it’s not a road record like its predecessor. 2016 gave us the 26-song epic It’s the Big Joyous Celebration, Let’s Stir the Honeypot and the more concise follow up Bonus EP, but on this album, a striking amount of balance provides the groundwork for A Whole F**king Lifetime Of This. The longtime project of Baltimore’s prolific Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Julia Brown) has never been weighed down by expectations of genre, fidelity or album length. Released last week on vinyl and cassette – now available on CD. American Pleasure Club – A Whole F**king Lifetime Of This CD/LP/Cassette (Run For Cover)
