Recapturing the Banjo

Search: Little Liza Jane
by: Otis Taylor

Release Date March 31, 2008
I was hesitant about buying this new album of Otis Taylor's because I'm not a big fan of the banjo as an instrument but I so enjoyed his "Double V" and "Definition of a Circle" albums that I decided to see if he could bring his gorgeous version of the blues to an album dominated by an instrument I'm not too keen on.

Many of the songs on the album, understandably, are dominated by the banjo and I'm afraid I'm not really that keen on them - personal taste really - even if Otis tries hard to make them bluesy. The opening of the album is particularly affected, with the first three tracks all being ones that displease me.

After this banjo-heavy opening, Otis begins to mix in other instruments and more variety into the arrangements ... Read More:

So Long So Wrong [VINYL]

Search: Little Liza Jane
by: Alison Krauss & Union Station

Release Date January 01, 1997
I am a longstanding fan of Irish Traditional Music and so, when I was standing in a Birmingham record store quite a few years back and my ear caught the sound of "Happiness", I immediately asked the assistant the name of the band. I couldn't believe my ears at the clear and clean perfection of the sound. I've known this CD for a number of years and yet it always sounds virtually as fresh as the first time I heard it, very unusual for music which can be easily remembered - at least for me!

One of the clever things about this CD is the way the softer songs are interspersed with the more boisterous numbers. The first song `So Long So wrong' is a kind of compromise, but the lively songs, complete with Ron Block's fast banjo picking and (mostly) Adam ... Read More:
