The Lowdown

Amazon.com
This may be the best of the three albums by the lanky young Austin singer; it’s certainly his most variegated. Roger Wallace favors a distinctly Western-flavored brand of lovin’ and hurtin’ honky-tonk typified by the title song and "What Did I Do (The Teardrop Song)." The style is supple enough to include jazzy, swinging stuff like the ballad "You’re a Heavenly Thing" and the uptempo "Me and Abalina Jane," a '50s-style rock & roller in "Two Things," the rumbling blues "So Long (Be Gone)," and the crackling instrumental "Stranger Pickin’." Though Wallace's voice isn’t exactly "good"--or particularly distinctive--in the conventional sense, he's able to inject color with his phrasing--alternately clipped and soaring--and his sure melodic sense. And his band, anchored by drummer Lisa Pankratz and augmented by top Austin pickers like guitarist Dave Biller, never wavers through all the stylistic twists and turns. --John Morthland

Although Woody Allen has been using jazz from the '20s and '30s on his soundtracks since Sleeper, Sweet and Lowdown is his first movie featuring the musicians of the period. The story is about Emmett Ray, who is a brilliant guitarist but is always being unfavorably compared to Django Reinhardt. Allen hired the guitarist Howard Alden and the Dick Hyman Group to play the music of Ray and his band, and they have done an excellent job of recreating the small band swing of the '30s. Alden has assimilated the music of such guitarists as Eddie Lang, Karl Kress, and Django to create a guitar style that is unique yet also sounds thoroughly authentic. He is the Zelig of guitar players. This music has all of the excitement of '30s jazz with none of the stodginess that sometimes plagues other jazz revivalists. --Michael Simmons

Had to own it after seeing the movie - fabulous! Go Django, go!

Luke Darlison.......2006-08-06

To Eric Verworst,
You won't be able to find any original pieces from Emmet Ray because he is a fictional character.

Great sound track for a great movie........2006-03-23

This sound track from Woody Allen's movie Sweet and Lowdown is fabulous. The guitar renditions are exceptional as is the story.
It is a must listen to and must see.

Very pleasing.......2006-02-25

I never saw the movie, but I am very interested in the music of this under strange circumstances vanished guitar player.
The music on this CD is really close to a few originals that are out there from him.
Anybody who can point me in the direction of any original work from Emmet Ray on CD or DVD, please feel free to contact me.

Marvelous soundtrack.......2006-02-24

I am particularly haunted by track #6, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams (And Dream Your Troubles Away). Great soundtrack.

Ray Wylie Hubbard escaped the demons that devoured his contemporary Townes Van Zandt, but their shadows still flicker through his songs. Eternal and Lowdown is the fifth studio disc in Hubbard's decade-long comeback; stocked with deeply personal story songs, the preceding four albums were sometimes revelatory but often more than a little, well, heavy. Eternal and Lowdown confronts similar weighty subjects--religion, redemption, philosophy, and fulfillment, to name a few--but with a lighter touch and even a few laugh lines. This is blues music, full of black dogs, devils, gamblers, and catfish bones, but it's the celebratory kind of blues sung by a rambler that's returned, a seeker who has found. The producer and guitarist Gurf Morlix is practically an equal partner throughout, his stinging electric lead lines spiking Hubbard's squalling slide runs and giving the songwriter's visions their wings. --Anders Smith-Lindall

Customer Reviews:

go see this artist live!.......2006-01-21

I enjoyed "Growl" much more than I did this one, but this is a good CD as well.
Ray Wylie Hubbard is so much better in person than he is on Cd. So if he comes to your town, make sure you go to see him live. You won't be sorry!

Great album by a great songwriter.......2003-07-25

First I have to say that I really like this album. It would probably get a 5 star review from me, but I saw Ray wylie live before I heard any of his albums. No matter how good this album is, it doesn't live up to his live show.

I think that music should be measured on how it makes you feel and the guitar solo on "didn't have a prayer" is worth 4 stars of this review on it's own merits. If you get his albums from the Ray Wylie Hubbard websight, Ray Wylie will personally sign the covers for you. This is a great album by a great songwriter.

lacks something..........2003-02-19

Of Ray Wylie Hubbards several cds I like this one the least. Don't get me wrong, the execution is clean and precise but it feels like the edge is gone. Too much redemption and recovery.Gone is the "outlaw" feel very evident on DANGEROUS SPIRITS (my favorite).
The cd is split on continuity also.The first half has a blues rock emphasis...then it becomes a lesson on "how I overcame my troubles and redefined my life" (yawn). Stick with DANGEROUS SPIRITS or CRIMSON KINGS.

Mississippi Flush.......2001-09-07

I can't add much to Jeff Edwards's terrific review already posted here. But I will encourage readers to pick up this CD at their earliest convenience. The lyrics are thought-provoking, the melodies compelling, and the production expertly accomplished to enhance the mood of the songs. The best news is that although you're apt to enjoy this CD the first time you play it, you'll also be rewarded in surprising ways with each successive listen. It has tremendous staying power. There's a fine line between good and evil, and Hubbard's not afraid to confront that throughout this wonderfully satisfying work.

HUBBARD GETS THE BLUES.......2001-08-07

"Eternal and Lowdown" is another fine cd by the country outlaw legend. This one is much more bluesy than any of his other albums. Especially on songs like "SLEEP OF THE JUST", SUGARCANE", and "WEEVILS" which offers up Hubbard's best guitar work on here with some delicious slide playing. "NIGHTTIME" is a slow burner that sounds like it came straight from the Louisiana bayou. It would fit right in on a Tony Joe White album. "DIDN'T HAVE A PRAYER" is a tune he had previously done on his masterpiece album "Loco Gringo's Lament". On this reworking he does it more Memphis R&B style with Ian Mclagan on hammond B3 organ. It's a great song no matter how it's done, and I really like this version of it. The one cover song on here is "BLACK DOG". This one is more traditional country than any song on here, and it's really a catchy tune. It's a country blues song that I first heard on an old Koerner, Ray, and Glover blues album. If you've never heard of these guys, I highly recommend given em a listen. They were three very entertaining white boys from the early 60's who could really play the blues. It's obvious on some of these songs that Hubbard has gone to school on these guys on here, and the results on this album are great!

Deep Blues.......2001-08-01

Smither is one of the most eloquent and intelligent performers on the solo circuit. With only guitar, voice and foot tapping rhythm section he squeezes more emotion and wisdom and world weary irony out of a song than anyone I know. He is a great interpreter but his originals are the best tracks here - Link of Chain, 'Deed I Do, Can't Shake these Blues and the fantastic The Ride. No other contemporary songwriter pens a better, cleverer lyric and very few engage the listener so well. Best seen live but this CD and "Small Revelations" are priceless souvenirs.

Chris's best studio album!.......2000-05-01

It has some strong competition, but UP ON THE LOWDOWN is the best of Chris Smither's many fine albums. (In fact, only one of his 1990s releases is subpar -- HAPPIER BLUE, which is overproduced with synthesizers. On the upside it has two great covers -- John Hiatt's "Memphis In the Meantime" and Lowell George's "Rock and Roll Doctor.")

I saw Chris live last fall (2000 -- at USU in Logan, Utah), and it was a great show -- he is a great guitarist, and he is really funny in between songs. I've laughed at some of his songs since the concert after hearing the spin he put on them. His one-man two-foot rhythm section (with a board!) is priceless. But he's not just funny, he has a serious message as well. The lyrics to songs like "I Am the Ride" are Buddhist gems. If you take them to heart they can change your life. "Can't Shake These Blues" is just awesome. Check out not only the Dylan cover here ("What Was It You Wanted," from OH MERCY), but the back cover of HAPPIER BLUE, with Chris sitting on a porch with big sneakers, just like Bob on the back of UNDER THE RED SKY. He's just cracking up.

If you appreciate great lyrics, idiosyncratic vocal styles, and a social conscience -- the genre founded by Bob in the 60s -- check out my DYLANITES OF RECENT TIMES list and several more reviews. Some of the others included are Greg Brown, Stan Ridgway, Peter Case, Steve Earle, Bill Morrissey, Butch Hancock, Dave Alvin, and T-Bone Burnette.

Smither - the wittiest bluesman around !.......1999-08-23

Heard Chris Smither live at Downpatrick Folk Club - one of the best live concerts i've ever been to. The man is a genius with lyrics, subtle, sophisticated, clever, funny, honest, and a world weary voice that is perfect for the material. Brilliant guitar picking style. This album is full of classics - the original "Link of Chain", "Deed I Do", "Can't Shake These Blues" and utterly fantastic "I Am The Ride" plus lovely cover of Dylan's "What Was It You Wanted". He creates a wonderful mood (any time of the day). Accept no substitutes!

With one of the longest, most important and ultimately dignified careers in popular music to his name, Johnny Cash was everything that Rock n Roll promised but rarely delivered - ironically, a performer who was considered outside that genres often ridiculous parameters for so many years.

Standup comedian, actress, and singer Lea DeLaria presents a less confrontational image here than she did on 1994's Bulldyke in a China Shop, adopting the role of seductive, witty, confident, and heterosexual jazz chanteuse to perfection. Her voice ranges from little-girl-lost innocence to harder-edged tones, both suited to the opening "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd." With stylings from Billie Holiday to Judy Garland, "I've Got Your Number" heads straight for the heart of 1950s big-band balladry, improvised scat vocals proving DeLaria can swing with the best. "Cool" is anything but, the accompaniment understated, that voice dripping with the promise of sex. In "With Every Breath I Take," we get to imagine every late night smoky bar in every old Hollywood film we've ever seen--while it is pastiche, the characterization is startlingly evocative.

DeLaria sums it up with "All That Jazz," confidently suggesting, following her recent twin roles in the lavishly acclaimed 2000 Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show, that this girl just wants to have fun playing bad. When she sings "Life Has Been Good to Me," she has such an upbeat twinkle, you suspect she means every word. --Gary S. Dalkin

Customer Reviews:

if you like female jazz vocalists you'll love this album.......2004-07-27

I wish Delaria would put out more albums like this one. Her voice and interpretation of the songs on the album are really great and withstand lots of repeat plays. Highly recommended. Many of the cuts are worth 5 stars, but I didn't really like all of her song choices, so that's why I rated the album 4 stars.

Everyone does it, and seldom as well..........2004-04-10

All I can say is...WOW.
When my partner and I saw Lea perform her routine in P-town, she wowed us with a stunning version of one of my all-time favorites, "The Ballad of Sweeny Todd." We bought her CD on the spot and it stayed in my car's CD player for weeks on end (and then I only took it out because I had to switch cars).
I enjoyed the whole album, but I found myself playing the first track over and over, and even singing it in the shower. I must disagree with the "Cigar" review on all counts, at least regarding this track. The song lends itself so beautifully to swingin' jazz I can't believe nobody thought of it before. But I'm glad no one has, because Lea DeLaria knocks it out of the park. The smooth delivery is perfect for the dry humor of the lyrics, her belts are such a perfect blend of head and chest it sends chills up my spine, and the arrangement is spot-on. The best part - it stands up beautifully to repeat listenings; I just can't grow tired of this rendition. The opening track alone is worth twice the price of this CD.

IMAGINE THAT.......2004-06-14

There seem to be some several things missing from music these days, one of which must surely be imagination. Given the sharp upturn in control and flexibility offered by the recording equipment and studios of the early 21st century, anyone working in music should be literally dumbfounded by the range of possibilities before them. Instead and more often than not, listeners get ever more of the same.

Except here. "Orpheus the Lowdown" is a carefully realized and intricate combination of words, sounds and images that offers no shortage of imagination or ideas. Here we have an ideal pairing: the respective backgrounds and output of Peter Blegvad and Andy Partridge couldn't be better suited to this project.

Blegvad's words, (refer to his body of solo work and, of course, Slapp Happy) are mostly presented in the form of a poetry reading and are wonderfully inventive, playful and always beautiful: "Orpheus washes his hands in tears and thus anointed calls it a day though it is night". And, as remarkable as that sentence is, the sounds which support it bring the words to a better life.

The aural quality is not unlike Partridge's work with Harold Budd on "Through the hill", but instead of approaching these pieces as "songs" they are instead set in sound. Ranging from the overt (bowling percussion) to the subtle ( the ambience of a Savannah) the overall effect becomes something akin to musique concrete with an important distinction: these are not found sounds, they are clearly originated and composed to suit the language, just as the supporting images were assembled.

The visual and aural pieces are both realized by taking seemingly unrelated elements and arranging them into a new, single whole. In both cases, the music and the photo-assemblages (which have a feel not unlike Man Ray's Ray-O-Grams) create a sense of strangeness, surprise and the discovery of something new out of the ordinary.

What is represented here is on a completely different scale of thinking and effort when compared to your typical CD. If you've followed Blegvad or Partridge, you probably already have this: if you haven't, start now.

Flat-out brilliance.......2001-12-30

Easily the best, most interesting trance cd I have. It is one trance cd that really seems like a cohesive piece of music, giving the feel that the better rock/pop albums do. "Peace Fixation", as far as I'm concerned, could be the crowning achievement of electronica. It has so much going on in perfect balance you can practically analyze theme development in it. Since getting this I've been trying to find another cd like it, but nothing has matched up. The followup to this, called Blacklight Fantasy, is good but moves in a different direction-much less psychedelic trance. So if you're reading, Mr. Bentley, if you have any outtakes from the "Lowdown" period, please put them out!!

Amazingly trippy and atmospheric. A perfect continuous beat that will have all your chakras quaking. Beware if you listen while driving!

Absolutely the best disk he has released!
