CD da veri conoscitori di musica particolare!
Abbiamo fatto un regalo per la festa del papà ed è arrivato in tempi record; grande soddisfazione per tutti.
Devo fare una piccola osservazione sull' imballaggio, le custodie sono quasi sempre spaccate.
Consiglio maggior protezione nel pacco.

5.0 de 5 estrellas Johnny was born to sing this big, bad, gruff, bluesy, swinging Tom Waits music

A complete surprise and delight. Big and bad. A tight band of brass, winds, piano, harp, guitar, and drums swings big blues, from indigo shades to fiery blues assaults. Johnny was made to sing this music--gruff, bluesy, swinging, a perfect foil for Waits, esp. in their duet on tr 3. It brings a 1950s Tonight Show orchestra into the 21st Century without any apparent seams--a reconciliation of sorts on many levels. Uniformly select tracks with many highlights. [61:26]

1. Yesterday is here. Loungey, bluesy, nuanced orchestration with lots of indigo shades. Johnny's voice is perfect! Gruff, fluid, a gussied up Waits who is more at home (with this band) in a supper club than in a junkyard with Harry Partch. The track is big, swinging, ¾-time blues-jazz with rough horn solos over smoothly sliding back-up.

2. Down, down, down. Crank it up--in energy, tempo, sharp edge. Swinging and slammin', "sleepin' in the devils bed." Band is on fire! A raucous harp, electric guitar, and horns trade lines with the core band. I see big cars with tall fins gliding heroically down 1950s Sunset Blvd. near the ocean. Big and bad.

3. Walk away. High-steppin' strut. Johnny trades vocals with Waits and they were made for one another. Swinging, cool 1930s blues, struttin' the crowded street under acid street lamps. Big and bad again. Tone-perfect.

4. Please call me baby. Bodacious, swinging in ¾-time. Gentle, smooth, tender now. Indigo again, in big loungey lines. Johnny rides them perfectly.

5. Grapefruit moon. Slow, transparent counterpoint recalls early Blood Sweat and Tears in its subtle brass arrangements. The song is a classic Waits ballad, a natural fit with the American Songbook. Martinis all around.

6. All the time in the world. Pump it up! Music from a James Bond theme. Dark, tough, insistent, aggressive, pumped. As Johnny drives straight ahead, orchestra surrounds him with big lines stolen from the Band. Dedicated to John Barry (;-)).

7. Tango till they're sore. Vampire slow drag, with everyone dragging in separate lines--think the whole raggedy horde playing their way down a New Orleans street. Slummin' swing, bluesy stroll with Johnny gliding easily through Waits's wordy lines--"Mercy! We're in the groove now, baby."

8. Johnsburg, Illinois. BS&T brass again. Johnny is sweetly gruff and romantic--another classic ballad. The band beautifully and elegantly frames Johnny's lament. Very short.

9. New coat of paint. Kick it up again with a big, steadily rocking and swinging lounge-blues. The brass slide over one another with greasy delight--big, blowsy, 1950s. Johnny sings through, just one more line in a dense cloud pressing steadily forward.

10. Shiver me timbers. Sweetly gentle, ¾-time song rolls forward in small-town gazebo harp lines. Reminiscient of "Moon River" reset for a young couple walking in the town park in quiet, dark peace. Everything is good.

11. Dead and lovely. Tightly clipped, cool story telling about an innocent in a big city. The band shouts shadowy big city sophistication to frame Johnny's cautionary tale of a small-town newcomer: "She's forever dead and so lovely now." Big, bad, and perfectly controlled (with nods to the Goldfinger theme).

12. Temptation. Taut, slow, precise tango. Light texture around Johnny's voice, with brass/wind colors forever shifting from sharp and brash stab to indigo smear to feathery flute chiaroscuro. Arrangement is elegant and exceptionally skillful. And then a vibrantly soulful chorus ups the ante! Tango shifts to a quick-step rumba, then trumpets flash red and drive to a perfect big finish for the album.

5.0 de 5 estrellas Dynamite big band arrangements with an apperance from 'the man himself''!

I bought this album as a huge Tom Waits fan and a completeist. Having been very disappointed in other 'tribute' albums such as ' New Coat of Paint' and 'Step Right Up', I was intrigued to hear what Southside Johnny had to offer. From the word go, this album had 'class' stamped all over it. The big band brought to mind Dr John's superb 'Afterglow' album with its' sensitive and stirring arrangements of classic songs.You have to own this anyway if only for the superb 'Walk Away' on which Tom 'duets with 'Southside'.
Recommended without reservation!

Die einzige Frage, die sich für mich als alter Waitsfan immer wieder stellt wenn jemand sich den Songs von Tom Waits widmet ist: Hat da jemand die künstlerische Kraft den Waits- Songs neues Leben einzuhauchen oder will er nur einen Kult- Künstler nachahmen um in die Liste der Tribiut- Künstler zu kommen?
Antwort: Southside Johnny macht einen erstklassigen Job mit einer tollen Big-Band. Es ist sehr erfischend zu höhren, was man aus den alten Waits- Schinken noch alles machen kann.Bravo. Klarer Kauf!!
