The Rough Guide To Americana

Various

Audio CD: FDO 2002-01-15
Label: World Music Network

"The World Music Network has released a broad range of "Rough Guides" to certain musical genres, from Cumbia to Flamenco to Klezmer. Most are fantastic compilations. This installment features music that can be described as alternative country, insurgent country, or no depression. The name "Americana" is tricky. I consider Americana music to be American cultural music, or music clearly influenced by American cultural music. This can mean anything from jazz to bluegrass to zydeco. However, many folks define Americana as a specific genre, as is the case here. Rather than debate the point, I'll just let it be. Many of the usual suspects that one would expect on such a compilation, such as Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, and Whiskeytown, are bypassed in favor of lesser-known performers. The tracks are almost all good, though there are few true stand-outs.
For the uninitiated, I would recommend Exposed Roots: The Best of Alt. Country, Uncle Tupelo's "No Depression," Son Volt's "Trance," and Whiskeytown's "Strangers Almanac." However, for those interested in delving deeper, this compilation will provide an entry point for exploring many under-exposed but worthy artists.. Enjoy!!!..... at 192.0 kb/sec!"

The Rough Guide Unwired: Acoustic Music From Around The World

Various

Audio CD: FDO 2001-10-01
Label: World Music Network

"Although its focus is acoustic-oriented world music, Unwired doesn't limit itself to traditional sounds -- in fact, much of the compilation consists of contemporary, even cutting-edge pop from various continents. Covering a lot of territory, this excellent CD take us to various parts of Africa with selections by Toumani Diabate and Baaba Maal, as well as to Spain with Duquende's "Lo Bueno Y Lo Malo" (an appealing example of the type of nuevo flamenco that has been the rage in Spain since the 1970s), and to Latin America with Argentinean tango vocalist Adriana Varela's dramatic "La Casita De Mis Viejos" and Colombian vallenato artist Maximo Jimenez's "Vuelo En Libelula." (Quite different from cumbia, vallenato is an exuberant, accordion-based style that comes from Colombia's Atlantic coast.) India is represented by Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia's "Love," while instrumental Finnish folk is represented by the all-female quintet Niekku's "Yski Ruusu." One of the best songs on the album is Sudanese singer Rasha's "Azara Al Hay," a haunting, jazz-influenced gem. Not the least bit predictable, Unwired is well worth obtaining.Enjoy!!!..... at 320 kbps!"

Label: World Music Network

"Straight from the borderlands of Texas and Mexico comes the accordion-led hybrid music known as Tex-Mex or Tejano Conjunto. Since the early 1930s, when the accordion and the danceable polka rhythm were first introduced into guitar based groups, Tex-Mex has become one of the USA's most popular traditional music styles. The Rough Guide To Tex-Mex takes a look at this vibrant genre, with polkas, waltzes, rancheras and ballads from the early stars of conjunto and modern Tex-Mex heroes.Enjoy!!!..... at 256 kbps!"

The Rough Guide To Salsa Dance ''First Edition''

Various

Audio CD: FDO 2005-03-07
Label: World Music Network

"With its intensely percolating blend of melodic vigor, horn-motivated harmony, jazzy improvisation, polyrhythmic percussion, and soulful sense of celebration, Latin music at its best is arguably the world's most enjoyably complex form of dance music. Immensely entertaining if scattershot, this wide-ranging, filler-free introduction to the salsa tradition samples four decades' worth of music from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, and, of course, New York's Fania stable (where it first exploded in the 1970s). The anthology ranges from the early '60s Cuban boogaloo of Joe Cuba to Sierra Maestra's classic son (from whence salsa evolved) to seventysomething Celia Cruz's relentless energy. Sophisticated arrangements by Fania star Willie Colon, inventive pianist Charlie Palmieri, and young trombone upstart Jimmy Bosch offset the kicking sounds of La Misma Gente ("Raquel") and Dominican-born singer Jose Alberto.Enjoy!!!..... at 192 kbps!"

The Rough Guide To English Roots Music

Various

Audio CD: FDO 1998-08-25
Label: World Music Network

"Since the '60s, the vibrant English folk scene has seen a rich harvest of talent. This CD selection samples some of its ripest fruits and reminds us that branches as diverse as the stalwart Norfolk singer Harry Cox (born 1885) and blunt Cockney Billy Bragg share a common root.Revivalist mainstays such as Martin Carthy, the Watersons, and the Albion Band are all well-represented (the only notable absence being Steeleye Span), and with talents ranging from Eliza Carthy and the unmatchable Northumbrian piper Billy Pigg to the troubadours Rory MacLeod and John Kirkpatrick, there's something here for every taste. Anyone who still hankers after the illusion of Ye Olde England ignores this music's obvious vitality, as Billy Bragg tellingly reminds us in his classic "A New England". This English tradition is alive, well, and still has plenty to say!......... at 256 kbps!"

The Rough Guide To Reggae

Various

Audio CD: FDO 1997-10-27
Label: World Music Network

"Reggae is a music genre developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term is sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, including ska, rocksteady and dub. The term is more specifically used to indicate a particular style that originated after the development of rocksteady. In this sense, reggae includes two subgenres: roots reggae (the original reggae) and dancehall reggae, which originated in the late 1970s. Reggae is founded upon a rhythm style characterized by regular chops on the off-beat, known as the skank. The tempo is generally slower than that found in reggae's precursors, ska and rock steady. Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement, which influenced many prominent reggae musicians in the 1970s and 1980s. Reggae song lyrics deal with many subjects, including faith, love, sexuality and broad social issues.!......... at 160 kbps!"
