Free Music Review: Highly Enjoyable Alvin Youngblood Hart Album
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is highly enjoyable, with only "Countrycide" seeming out of place, though it's an interesting song that shows Hart is willing to experiment with his sound. "Tallacatcha" is absolutely beautiful and is in the Bob Wills style. "Sallie, Queen Of The Pines" is a romantic and vivid piece of Country Blues that sounds like it could have come straight out of 1928. Hart's greatest gift is, perhaps, his ability to create music that sounds like old Country Blues records from almost 100 years ago, but that contain original lyrics to which we can all relate. These songs are sung by a voice that sounds aged and wise, but is actually that of a young man who was raised on Rock music. This album is highly recommended!
Territory Poster
San Francisco Bay Area performer Alvin Youngblood Hart established his credentials as an acoustic bluesman with his acclaimed 1996 debut, Big Mama's Door. To his credit, he's off in new directions with the first notes of Territory. The western-swing opener "Tallacatcha" lets fans know from the get-go that Hart won't be bound by genre restrictions and, indeed, he explores everything from reggae to rock without ever seeming showy. As Hart's skills expand, so too will the perspectives of his listeners. --Steven StolderThis follow-up to Hart's 1996 debut, Big Mama's Door, leaves no doubt that the early acclaim the California singer has generated is deserved. Big Mama's Door introduced a player as well versed in the history of the blues as he is with its musicianship, and Territory only reinforces that perception. From the opening strains of "Tallacatcha" to the closing "Underway at Seven," magic flies from his fingertips. It's as if those who've inspired Hart's music are channeling through him to reach a new generation. Whether it's the straight acoustic blues of "Mama Don't Allow" and "John Hardy" or the less-likely "Tallacatcha" (which entwines lap steel, fiddle, and piano into a Western dance-hall tune) and "Just About to Go" (a reggae-like number), this album further cements Hart's place in the upper ranks of contemporary bluesmen. --Alexandra Russell
