Free Music Notes for Behind the Levee
Free Music Review: "Subdued"
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this band, so I am not very objective. Having said that, I do my have ny favorites, and my lesser favorites. At first four listens this comes across a very mellow album, and not a lot of new ground is broken. It maintains those trademark harmonies, and exquisite musicianship, strong vocals."Papa Dukie" is the single on the album but I feel that "One Word" could share that same distinction, as well as "Lets Play" . I have a feeling that this album will age very well, it is deeper tha the first listenings would suggest. You can get lost and drift away in the serenity of the only unoriginal song " Time For the Sun to Rise" and yet there are some many wonderful new melodies that have you humming along. The best thing I can say about this band ( I plan to see them in Wash. and Long island and San Juan Cap over the next few months) is that they make me feel nostalgic for songs I've only heard once. Does anyone else experience that? There will be lot of debate over where "Behind The Levee" ranks with the rest of their work, but one thing cant be disputed, The Subdudes are the most original and talented band working today. To go to a concert is to experience pure joy and love flowing off the stage. Pure love of music and performing that rivals any concert that I've seen. So enjoy this work, it is superb. They are in a class by themselves, and this would be a landmark album for any band, but for the "dudes" it is the level we have selfishly come to expect.In my opinion, they meet all expectations..
Behind the Levee Poster
Between the recording and the release of this album, the devastation of Katrina transformed the Subdudes' native New Orleans. So perhaps this could have been titled Before the Flood, with the band's musical equivalent of Crescent City comfort food reminding us of better times (and providing hope for better times to come). The band's sonic signature combines the soulful vocals of Tommy Malone, the call-and-response harmonies of his bandmates, and the spare accordion accompaniment of John Magnie. As produced by bluesman Keb' Mo', the band's second album since its reunion renders the rhythm section almost subliminal, thus spotlighting the buoyant melodies and the vocal dynamics more than the groove. Among the highlights here, "Papa Dukie and the Mud People" celebrates the commotion that results when a hippie tribe pitches riverside camp in small-town Louisiana, "Looking at You" features a funky duet with Rosie Ledet, and "One Word" lifts the spirit like a secular hymn, with Malone's buttery tenor sounding like a bayou Michael McDonald. The gorgeous balladry of "Time for the Sun to Rise" and the closing redemption of "Prayer of Love" provide the sort of transcendental healing that music can offer the most musical of American cities. --Don McLeesePop Music CDs
