Free Music Notes for Hill Country Revue
Free Music Review: ...well, well, well...
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, well, well. This album is what music is all about. The love and energy, the friendship, and southern hospitality make this Hill Country Revue just about the best I've ever heard. I can't stop playing it. I've had it about two weeks now, and I play it at least twice a day. I haven't done that since I was a teenager and only had a couple of albums. This thing just starts out hot. I love the R. L. Burnside dialog with the crowd while the band plays. It's a family community thing. Everybody shares and contributes. This is not like the studio stuff, this is pure magic. I hate rap music. I don't know exactly why, but I hate rap music. Cody Burnside does a couple of tunes with rap lyrics that are just great, I love rap music, if it's Hill Country Revue. I'm just a Yankee from Bean Town, and my family is not very close, so it's great for me to see this collection of friends and family come together as one big extended family. There are so many people on the stage you'd think they'd need traffic cops to figure out whose turn it is do what, but everybody gets a chance to shine and share. Yeah that Po Black Maddie>Skinny Women>Po Black Maddie is pretty hot. The Down in Mississippi with Jim Dickenson is a down and dirty throat rasping raw blues with blistering nasty guitar, but now the album is pure hot. It just keeps building up momentum. Never in All My Days is one of the highpoints of the album-Well, Well, Well. Man that bass is just so hard hitting. If you be a bass fan, you gotta try this. Chris Robinson's vocals on Boomer's Story are fantastic, he just blew me away, and I'm more of an instrumental fan, but his voice, and the back up are kinda like an instrument. It's kinda mythical or mystical, or maybe I'm getting hysterical. Wait `til you hear the washboard on Psychedelic Sex Machine, it's like Hendrix on washboard. I've never heard anything like it, and R. L. in the background giving encouragement. Man what a cut. What a surprise the Rising Star Drum Corps is. These cats just blow me away. They cut loose on the Shimmy She Wobble>Station Blues. When these guys get to Be So Glad, Cody does some rap vocals that comes out great with the hill country rock. It's also a bottom end rhythm fest. Good drums, screeching lead, heart pounding base, and a mix of vocals that makes me feel good. This gives me goose bumps-can't get enough. Snake Drive is just more of the same with a relentless rhythm and great vocals and some more well, well, well. Goin' Home Part Two just keep the momentum going. I feel like these guys are going to take off, but this is where they start winding down to say good-bye. All in all, this is 78 minutes of celebration on one disc. I heard these guys put on some pretty long concerts. I'd love to see a big four disc set like Gov't Mule's A little Help from Our Friends.
Hill Country Revue Poster
flexfield5The stage of Tennessee jam band festival Bonnaroo is an unlikely setting for the year's most important blues recording, but young firebrands North Mississippi Allstars pulled off a creative coup in June of 2004 with their Hill Country Revue. The concert teamed patriarch R.L. Burnside and his guitarist and rapper sons, the late Othar Turner's fife and drum band, the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, and eccentric producer-pianist Jim Dickinson, the father of Allstars Luther and Cody Dickinson, with the wiry trio. The historic results handily blend all the racial, geographic, and cultural elements of the genre with adventurous musicality. Burnside is present more for his inspiration than his musical contribution. But his sons carry on the tradition while pushing its borders into hip-hop and six-string psychedelia. If there?s a star here, though, it's guitarist Luther Dickinson, who playfully quotes Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and the elder Burnside, and then adds a level of tonal and textural exploration to his performance that makes him a one-man defibrillator for the genre--insurance that the heart of the blues will keep pumping into the future. --Ted Drozdowski
