Crate Digger’s Corner: 2017 albums, pt. 4

Crate Digger’s Corner…by DJ Musically Rich

Here is the fourth part to my 2017 list. I’m giving a quick list of albums that I heard from 2017 in 7-10 at a time. There will be a few more parts to the list over the coming weeks. I may do a listening to some of the ones that I know I like, but want to revisit, and use that as an opportunity to review some of those more deeply (If there are any you see that you would particularly like to see a review of, leave a note). This list does not include reissues, live material or compilations.

Artist- Album (general genre)- and brief description

Hudson- s/t (jazz)- They are a true jazz supergroup from across generations of jazz performers. John Medeski, John Scofield, Larry Grenadier and Jack DeJohnette join together to put together an album that fantastically puts together an album that touches on funk jazz, traditional jazz and has covers of songs by Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix and The Band. They also use one song that Jack DeJohnette co-wrote with keyboardist Bruce Hornsby. They sound as if they have played together their entire lives and have released a wonderful first album.

 Chris Stapleton- From A Room, Vol. 1 & 2 (country)- Chris Stapleton released two companion records in 2017 with his band. They are both between 30-40 minutes long (together they are not much longer then his breakthrough album “Traveler”. He continues the strong songwriting and wonderfully tuneful songs that he has been known for throughout his career.

 Dan Auerbach- Waiting On A Song (pop/rock)-The Black Keys guitarist/singer (amongst other duties, musically and otherwise) releases an album backed by a large number of Nashville’s finest musicians. The backing band includes Bobby Wood, John Prine, Kenny Malone, Jerry Douglas, Jeffrey Clemens, Duane Eddy and many others. Going in with a great group of songs and the laid back recording nature that was present during the sessions (at least, that’s what I’ve read), it turns out a great album. One thing, though, is this group of Nashville musicians put together, to my ear, a very ‘70s sounding LA/Laurel Canyon rock record. More so than anything I would relate to a “quintessential” Nashville sound. Either way, this will be a great album for your next road trip.

 Chuck Berry- Chuck (rock)- The final release of Chuck Berry. The album released soon after the pioneering guitarist had passed away. What is very good, however, is the quality of his last album. The first thing he had released (of new music) in 3 decades, and that was a live album. It is probably also the best thing he has released since the ‘70s. Strong all the way through, I want to mention two notable songs. He reworks ‘Havana Moon’ into ‘Jamaica Moon’, the original which he felt didn’t the respect it deserved because of its Cuban name. He also writes and drops a sequel to ‘Johnny B Goode’ with ‘Lady B. Goode’ a song that makes sure girls know there is a place for them in the world of electric guitar. You can look to some of today’s guitarists like Susan Tedeschi, Samantha Fish, Kaki King and Hedwig Mollestad as a few women he may have had in mind with that song.

 Black Country Communion- BCCIV (hard rock)- Black Country Communion continues with their fourth album of hard rocking blues rock music in the tradition of Led Zeppelin. If you haven’t come across this band before, it is a supergroup of incredibly talented musicians. They are Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath), Joe Bonamassa (in my favorite setting for him), Jason Bonham (original drummer John Bonham’s son) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater). All four are able to more than hold their own, and if you are looking for new bands using the sounds of 70s hard rock as the basis for their songs this group is one of the places to do that and do it well.

 A War On Drugs- A Deeper Understanding (indie rock)- Their follow-up to the amazing “Lost In The Dream” while sharing the sound and relaxed production of that album is not quite on the same level. “A Deeper Understanding” should appeal to fans of their previous album, but it does not have the songs that stick with you quite as immediately as “LITD” had. Still a good album, and one that may take a few extra listens to get you into the same familiarity that you had with “Lost In The Dream”.

 Ruthie Foster- Joy Comes Back (gospel)- A gospel-ish album that  covers Black Sabbath’s ‘War Pigs’? That’s right. That’s exactly what we have here. Whether it is that gem of a cover, the Derek Trucks assisted ‘Joy Comes Back’ or the song for the ‘Working Woman’ this is a tight cohesive record with some very good performances!

Here are 7 (actually 8 with the two Chris Stapleton albums) albums I heard in 2017, there will be more from this list coming in the future, and this isn’t necessarily a ranking, just in the order that I was writing them down. I hope you enjoy and happy hunting!

Rise Up And Sing in Shannon Hall!

by Emili Earhart, Special Events AD

On Thursday, March 9th, join us in Shannon Hall for Rise Up And Sing!––an evening of soulful American music. 

Performing solo is Ruthie Foster, a songwriter born and raised in Texas, who blends gospel, folk, and blues in an expressive, energetic performance. Foster’s rich voice produces not only a warm, resonant sound, but offers a layer of colorful, melismatic sonorities that ring throughout the hall. Performing on guitar, Foster offers a wide range of blues standards, interpretations of gospel tunes, and her own style of folk music.

Joining Ruthie Foster is the Heritage Blues Orchestra. The ensemble features various performers, but tends to highlight the bright sensibilities of the slide guitar––a sound deeply rooted in American Delta Blues––as well as the airy fingerpicking style found in Piedmont Blues. 

At times, the Heritage Blues Orchestra also promotes a strong horn section, as well as vocal harmonies reminiscent of a gospel choir and bluesy, solo voice.

Don’t miss out on these uplifting, heartfelt performances at Shannon Hall! More information about the show and information on tickets can be found here.
