Who was that

40 acres (How long)

Hey baby (What are we gonna do)

Uncle Esau

Make love to you

Long way from home

G string

You so fine

Young ways

What she said

Bobby Rush i Kenny Wayne Shepherd, dva sjajna bluz muzičara su se udružila i snimila zajednički album u Memfisu. Iako razlika u njihovim godinama iznosi nešto manje od pola veka (44 godine), to nije bila prepreka za saradnju.

„Young fashioned ways“ je objavljen 21. marta. Zvuk gitare koju svira Shepherd je fantastičan. Šta tek reći za vokal i usnu harmoniku Rush-a, koji ima 91. godinu – impresivno i neverovatno.

Naredni tekst je objavljen na Kenny Wayne Shepherd Official Website.

“Says Shepherd, “You don’t find albums this 100 percent, real deal authentic every day.” He continues, “With me and Bobby collaborating on a project, our age difference is of course going to be part of the initial conversation and makes for good headlines, but at the end of the day, he’s an incredibly talented musician and amazing human being who loves the same kind of music I do. We start playing together and all of a sudden, age has nothing to do with us. We were speaking the same language and there was a level of acceptance about truly joining together on the same page with the blues, coming from the same place, spiritually, musically and of course, geographically.”

Adds Rush, “I think we both had something to prove to each other with ‘Young fashioned ways’. There was a moment where I was walking in the hallways at Royal and broke down in tears because as an older man who has spent many years trying to keep up with trends, I so appreciated him letting me in this door to do what I knew I could do. Just as music keeps me young, so does learning something new every day. It’s like he (Kenny) said, this kind of album is a rare thing, and when it comes to the blues these days, you can’t get much better than we have done it. Nobody who is my age is still doing it like this, and no one Kenny’s age can do old-style blues better. We’re both looking forward to doing a lot of shows together to support this.”

Out in the open

Half a lifetime

Everyday magic

I can hear your love

Time waited

Beginning from the ending

Lemme know

Squid ink

Die for it

River road

Američka petočlana grupa My Morning Jacket je aktivna na muzičkoj sceni dvadeset sedam godina. Snimili su deset studijskih albuma. Poslednji u nizu objavljen je 21. marta.

„Is“ je najnovije izdanje grupe My Morning Jacket. Jim James, pevač i gitarista, je autor svih deset pesama. Neću napisati da je ovo odličan album, ali je svakako jedan od boljih koje sam uspeo da preslušam u prvom tromesečju ove godine. Pesme „River road“, „Out in the open“, „Die for it“, „Time waited“ i „Squid ink“ su pesme koje ne bi trebalo propustiti. Svako od nas ima svoje omiljene na albumima. To su za mene prve dve navedene, tj. poslednja i prva na ovom izdanju.
