Far Away Blues

Product Description:
The third album from this Texas-based singer/songwriter showcases the idiosyncratic songwriting style that has drawn comparisons to John Prine, Butch Hancock, Townes Van Zandt, Todd Snider, and Bob Dylan. These are Carroll's strongest songs to date, retaining the intimacy of his previous albums while filling the sound out significantly. Produced by Lloyd Maines (Dixie Chicks, Pat Green, Joe Ely).

Novelist Cormac McCarthy's literary vision of the wild west is given wide-screen treatment by maverick director Billy Bob Thornton and a cast that includes Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, and Bruce Dern. Professional country music journeyman Marty Stuart has performed with father-in-law Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, and Doc Watson, in addition to a successful solo career. In his soundtrack scoring debut, he provides short, meditative instrumental pieces that are subtly explosive--rife as they are with strains of old-school country and bluegrass. Cinematic strings and orchestral percussion add a welcome menacing edge, augmenting the rustic approach without crossing over into a compromised "countrypolitan" sound. If anything, it might be nice to hear these themes extended. As it stands, the 23 listed tracks are covered in a little under 50 minutes, with many of the cuts barely lasting more than a minute or two. They stand as a new genre of cinematic country minimalism. --Rob O'Connor

Great western soundtrack.......2004-02-28

This is a must buy for fans of western soundtracks.It mixes beautifully symphonic music with Guitar music and spices it up all together with a south of the border flavor. Haunting music that will make you want to never take it out of your cd changer. It also
Features two vocal pieces, the first a spanish song sung by the very talented Raul Malo of the country group the mavericks, the second song is a beautiful ballad sung by Marty Stuart. Though I never owned any cd's of Marty Stuart he earns my respect with composing this film score.(cowboy hats off to you Mr.Stuart)

Truly Incredible.......2003-03-12

This album is a masterpiece. Within the first strums of the guitar, you feel as though you are among the southwestern hills. It has immediately become one of my favorites of all-time. The songs are filled with beautiful imagery, enchanting tunes, and haunting melodies. The shortness of the songs in unnoticable, as each song blends into the next, and the album itself serves as one epic journey. It is not meant to be listened to a song at a time, but as a whole. As I said, it is truly incredible. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

The Best New Album of the Year.......2005-11-05

No amount of praise that I can heap on this album can be effusive enough. This is a terrific record, with one great song after another. The lyrics are as crisp and clear as a perfect autumn day and the music is just wonderful. Listen to the samples, especially "Allright" and "Low in the Mountains , High in the Pines" and Buy It! You will not regret it. America needs this record to be a success so Mr. Carroll can make more records.

Amazing album! .......2005-05-16

I feel lucky to have been able to grow up listening to the songs of some of the great songwriters like Guy Clark, John Prine, Billy Joe SHaver and Ray Wylie Hubbard. Just when you wonder who will be there to take there place on day Adam Carroll steps up.

marvelous bagatelle-like piano album.......2001-09-09

This is a wonderful collection of piano bagatelle like durational envois, shibboleths,effacacious timbral meanderings,visionary,some ephemera, egregious. Yet all ponder an obsessive elan for the pure rarefied luv of piano timbre.And since modernity has passed out of itself,there is a freedom simply to create unencumbered,eremitical with pure devotion to piano timbre. Some works actually betray their asopted,intended/distended frames. That perhaps is a more interesting feature of postmodernity. Here as in Bedford's 'Toccata', scouring post-electronic tonality. It is a wonderful work diapasonal,diaphanous,orgasmic at times,yet direct and to the point. Also a prolific great piano practicioner-monger is Michael Finnissy with an excerpt from his 'Yvaropera 5', there are more,these are dedication to the marvelous new music pianist Yvar Mikashoff. Finnissy has finely woven threadbare lines. These works engage the challenge of the miniature, and the lyricism present here is like walking in a gallery with a predominance of no one particular musical language.
There are also some leftovers from the Tango Projekt.Perhaps the precursor of this Spectrum.
Howard Skempton the pre=eminent British miniaturist 'Cantilena' is here,hovering with an air of eridite presence,his voice is rather taciturn like,yet talismanic with a few purely wrought tones.
Andrew Toovey's 'Still'I found is not as remarkable as his brilliant chamber works,of dense complexity. Here the upper register clusters seemed overly labored,and unintentional within the context. Jonathan Harvey's 'haiku' is the ultimate effrontery for this miniscule musical parade, a mere single arpeggiated gesture, one press-down of the sustaining pedal, a mere 20 seconds, or as long as the envelope decay dies.
I found overall that it is the structural context that harbors the conceptual complexity,even the more pronounced examples as Roger Redgate's 'trace' is not as rhythmically forbidding as a measured particle exhumed from Ferneyhough,who is mirabile dictu absent from the proceedings here. Also the epigones of complexity, as Barrett, Dench,Fox are out of the picture.Why?.If you smite their faces do they not shed a tear,if you cut them, do they not bleed.
Neglected imaginative piano creator Dave Smith however is included. Smith has written,contributed greatly to solo literature, and his "tuesday" is included, a wonderfully crafted work with equisite voicings,ephemera.Additional I enjoyed Edward McGuire's "Foglie d'Autunno" a work satisfying the more song/canto,piano album dimensions of its generic frame. There are as well extroverted-like tone poem/paintings, as Edwin Roxburgh "Moonscape", Montague's "Mira",Hoddinott's "Dark March".
All these excursions into the finer particles of piano timbre leaves one empty, I found, not in an inferior way, but as Cornelius Cardew once quipped an eudaemonia,a felt perception,of something else,an emotive entity,a creative pathway missed, a wrong turn,a bad egg of structure,or concept,and that some unknowable espousal,some imaginative envoi should have been at the center of the music.

Modern music made easy.......2000-06-04

This double CD is a recording of "Spectrum" - two volumes of piano music by late twentieth century composers. The works were commissioned by Thalia Myers and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music from a wide range of figures, well-known and otherwise, with a simple brief: to create short pieces in a contemporary style that could be accessed by pianists of any standard.

As a composer myself, I can safely say that such a brief is not as easy to follow as it may seem. Whilst it is true that short works are easier to write than long ones, it is never always easy to think of beginners or amateurs at primary school level when you're used to working with professionals and semi-professionals of more or less the same standard as yourself. In "Spectrum," the various composers have met the challenge impeccably, and the books are now proving to be a useful teaching tool with which to introduce young performers to contemporary music. With this recording, the same material can be made accessible to first-time listeners as well as performers.

The first volume is perhaps the harder of the two in terms of both listening and playing the music. Most of the composers featured in it returned to contribute to the second volume and it is clear (from listening) that some lessons were learned: you may find it more pleasant to put Disc Two on first when trying it out. To summarise all the pieces, short though they are, is beyond the scope of this review but among the names appearing are Jonathan Harvey, Diana Burrell, Michael Finnisey, Graham Fitkin, Philip Cashian, John Tavener, Howard Skempton and Stephen Montague. In the books, most of the pieces occupy single or double page spreads only; on disc, this makes each track less than two minutes long. (For the record, the absolute shortest work is Jonathan Harvey's "Haiku" from the second volume, which is two lines long on paper and takes just 30 seconds to play!)

Take the music as you will, but in all cases it is well-played: Thalia Myers commands a wonderful expressive range and captures the extreme subtlety of each and every piece. This really is the finest introduction to modern music around!
