Seun Kuti + Fela’s Egypt 80

Self-titled (Disorient) - (CD)  

Let’s get the requisite handshake out of the way first. Meet Seun Kuti, the son of African music legend Fela Kuti. Fela Kuti, an astute social critic of his time, essentially invented the genre of Afrobeat, a weave of funk and jazz that’s distinctively African. Seun Kuti has inherited plenty of original musical chops and can rattle stages with his own beats. The young Kuti began his career with his father’s band Egypt 80 and has led the band as lead vocalist and saxophonist since the elder’s death in 1997. The band remains as explosive armed with horns, keys, percussion, guitars and vocals. On this recording Seun Kuti steps out of his father’s shadow where the songs, including “Many Things,” “Na Oil,” and the irresistible “Fire Dance,” erupt into rhythmic trances with complex interplay. The funk is never more than a beat away. Good Afrobeat is stacked with political ideas and social commentary, and on his debut Seun Kuti doesn’t flinch from speaking his mind.  

Bill Monroe - Father of Bluegrass Music

(MVD Visual) - (DVD)  

Bill Monroe was a giant of American music, practically inventing bluegrass. His mandolin, voice and songwriting have influenced countless musicians in the fields of country, bluegrass, rock, and even jazz. In the documentary Father of Bluegrass Music the soft-spoken Monroe reveals his simple manner and background that shaped bluegrass. The musical genius and innovator left his indelible fingerprints with rhythms and melodies spread over a huge catalog of music. This DVD features performances by Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys, Lester Flatt, Emmylou Harris, Paul McCartney, the Osborne Brothers, Dolly Parton, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart, and a Blue Grass Boys reunion featuring Del McCoury, Chubby Wise and Bill Keith. The film features archival footage and rare 1990s performances from Monroe’s final years. Along the way Monroe tells his story in interviews recorded in the 90s. There are other legends talking about Monroe including Jerry Garcia and country music legend Roy Acuff. Monroe’s performing career spanned over 60 years as a singer, composer, instrumentalist, and bandleader. He died in 1996 at the age of 84.  

Fleet Foxes - Self-titled

(Sub Pop) - (CD)  

The sun is low on the horizon, it’s a cool summer evening and the Fleet Foxes just may break into a lilting version of “Scarborough Fair” any minute. The Seattle quintet sounds like a tasty leftover from the 1960s, but they’re deliriously contemporary. Fleet Foxes channel both British and American folk, yet there’s distinct newness in their compositions. It’s no wonder the album opens with the forward gazing “Sun it Rises,” and is sprinkled with rustic folk-rock tunes like “White Winter Hymnal” and “Blue Ridge Mountains.” Think Red House Painters and Simon and Garfunkel having a picnic on the greens of San Francisco, but the Foxes’ hearts are firmly set in drizzly Seattle. That Northwestern city, of late associated more with grunge and hard rock, has come a long way, full circle, if you will, with the Fleet Foxes.

Marillion - Somewhere in London

(MVD Visual) - (DVD)  

Somewhere in London is a Marillion concert filmed over the final two nights of the British progressive rock band’s Somewhere Else album tour at the London Forum in June 2007. The live performances include “Splintering Heart,” “Man of a Thousand Faces,” “Estonia,” “Beautiful,” and “Ocean Cloud.” Written off as pretentious in their early years, Marillion has persevered and created much heartfelt and deeply melodic music over the course of a quarter century. Pink Floyd and Genesis influenced the band’s spacey soundscapes and moody songcraft. But Marillion quickly evolved their own style and this disc documents the veteran musicians in their best element, performing live. This 2-disc extended edition features, along with the concert-length film, an extra disc of the remaining songs played during the shows plus a short feature of a visit to the band’s Racket Club rehearsal studio by a group of fans that won the visit through a contest. The 5-song intimate set, with fans sitting on the floor of the studio, reveals the band’s connection with their audience. This is where they showcase their acoustic angle, in a small space, without a huge light and laser show, where only the music matters. Also included on the bonus material are four surround sound mixes of Somewhere Else album tracks.
