Members Weekly Music Recommendations-March 6

[thebes]

Now I do try to take pains to recommend music I've "vetted" thorougly

to make sure those who might acquire a suggestion that at the very laest the

recording quality is top notch. I'm going out on a limb this week

by suggesting something I've never actually heard, but hope to have in

hand by next weekend.

Format's simple: Name of artist or group, name of album, type of

music as best you can (rock, blues etc.), and recording format (cd, lp

etc.)

As usual I'll start it off with:

Grace Griffith, "My Life",cd, celtic and contemporary folk singing

Grace Griffith is a local artist suffering from Parkinson's and this

may be her last release since an upcoming operation may ruin her

voice. If it wasn't for her we probably wouldn't have Eva Cassidy

to listen to, since she turned her on to her label Blix Street

Records. There's an excellent article on her in yesterday's

Washington Post that I will try to a post a link to, so you can learn

more. Blix Street Records does absolutely superb work and her

reputation as a songstress is top-notch.

Here's the link:

So what do you have to offer this week?

WHAT'S GOING ON; MARVIN GAYE; What happens when Soul music gets a touch of protest. This piece of work is as fresh today, as it was during the Viet-Nam era. A beautiful piece of work from a gifted singer and perfomer who left us way before his time. I very rarely use the word beautiful in describing a disc, but I must in this case. Mind you classic rock is my area, but every now and then one needs a break, and this disc is like a breath of fresh air.Smooth, Sexy, and Soulful, what more can I say?

I saw on PBS a group called Celtic Woman and they sing celtic (irish) type folk music if your into that but they sound angelic like. I brought the cd around 10 dollars on walmart.com and have enjoyed it. I mean great vocals, instrumental, really makes the klipsch shine!
