Free Music Notes for Vagabond Lullabies
Free Music Review: Strength and beauty
Hit: 5 Stars
I find music in a completely serendipitous manner: I work next to a music magazine and I grab their discards, either when they sell them for 3 bucks to raise money for charity, or eventually give them away at the end of the year when the cupboards are bursting with old reviewed cds. I grab anything that looks intersting and that I haven't heard before. This is how I have discovered some of my favourite music.
And it's how I discovered Po' Girl. Aweful name, terrible album cover, so I'm still not quite sure why I picked it out. But boy, am I glad I did. Initially it was the opening track 'Tell Me A Story' that made me realize this was special. The harmonies, the soul, the blues, the alt-country sound: so beautiful. 'Movin' On', has a sexy catchy beat. 'Take The Long Way' which I am hopelessly addicted to starts out very Norah Jones and then morphs into the sweetest laid back rap by some dude who sounds straight out of PM Dawn. Pure magic . This is stunning stuff by five amazing singers and multi-instrumentalists who never jostle for centre stage but take turns in the spotlight and blend seemlessly over a series of sweet, but never saccerine, totally addictive songs.
Vagabond Lullabies Poster
While Frazey Ford of the Be Good Tanyas spent the year raising her new baby, band mate Trish Klein had time to record a second record with her other group. Like on their first record, Po' Girl takes the Tanyas' kitchen-sink mix of rustic sounds and adds a blues tinge. Musicians have always fused music from different genres, but now a full generation has grown up barely aware of musical boundaries. The age bracket that spawned Po' Girl is equally at home with country, rock, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and punk. They are even able to seamlessly add a rapper to the half-time country tune "Take the Long Way" without a hint of preciousness—-a rapper that name-checks Patti Smith no less. --Michael RossBlues Music CDs
