Folkdays aren’t over – Rosanne Cash

Musik | Rosanne Cash – The River & The Thread

Rosanne Cash, Tochter von Johnny Cash, die weiß, wie man eine Gibson spielt, legte mit ›The River & The Thread‹ einfühlsame Songs vor, die in ihren Bann ziehen. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER

rosanne-cash-the-river-thread-350Thematisch zeigte sie speziell Interesse an der Kultur der amerikanischen Südstaaten und auch an Politischem wie dem sogenannten »New Deal«. Sie fand sich also auch in der Tradition des Delta-Blues und des sogenannten Protestsongs und nicht nur in schönen, idyllischen Country-, Folk- und Rocksongs.

Teils nimmt sie den Sound von Swamp, Gospel oder Appalachian Folk mit hinein. Wichtiger Mitstreiter bei der Einspielung von ›The River & The Thread‹ war der exzellente Gitarrist, Multiinstrumentalist und Produzent John Leventhal, der auch ihr Partner ist. Und es tauchten namhafte Gastmusiker auf wie  Kris Kristofferson, Tony Joe White, John Prine und Rodney Crowell auf. Die fast 60-jährige Rosanne Cash präsentierte sich einmal mehr ungemein kraftvoll und mesmerisierend mit berührendem und erlesenem Songmaterial. Natürlich ist sie weiterhin selbstbewusst in den Fußstapfen ihres namhaften Vaters als Musikerin eine markante Persönlichkeit in der Countryszene.

The Music Column That Wouldn’t Die: New Album Reviews.

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world

I told myself I was over this, that I had retired from the world of music reviews. I had moved onto bigger and better things (mostly staring at the wall and wondering why nobody calls me anymore). Yet here I am, a mere few months after burning my bridges, giving up on new music and making a world of enemies, back in the game. Did I miss the constant abuse, the being paid in soiled pennies and the lack of recognition which writing this unremembered column entailed? Funnily enough, I did! It was listening to the post punk genius of the new Dry Cleaning record that did it. I thought to myself ‘someone has to take it upon themselves to tell the world just how good this album is’. After a moment of quiet reflection where I drank a glass of lukewarm Ribena to calm the nerves, I decided that that person may as well be me. By JOHN BITTLES

House Grooves And Lonely Souls: ›Debut‹ by Björk

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world To claim that Debut by Björk is a classic is somewhat underselling the effect it had on a generation of teens upon its release. The album came out in 1993, a year when the house revolution was in full swing, and bands such as The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Primal Scream had successfully merged baggy beats with funk-strewn guitar grooves. In short, if you were a music fan, it was an unbelievable time to be alive. By JOHN BITTLES

The Rise Of The Dystopian Daddy: New Record Reviews

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the Christmas season upon us it seems apt to reflect on some of the great records which have recently entered our lives. While the fact that Clean Bandit have been Number 1 in the UK sinlges chart for what seems like years may have led you to give up entirely on the humble single, it’s important to remember that it can still be a creative outlet of note.

Towards A Dubb Everlasting: New Album Reviews

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world As I write this I have cocooned myself in a semi-professionally built pillow fort which I am hoping will withstand the coming winter months and keep me protected and warm. Right now the outside world seems so hideous that hibernating for as long as humanly possible seems like an excellent idea. Therefore, for the next few months I shall be hibernating with nothing but my loved one, a bumper packet of M&Ms and a batch of great music to keep me company. By JOHN BITTLES
