Justin Townes Earle - Midnight at the Movies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Harlem River Blues is the brand new album from the charismatic, enigmatic, prolific Justin Townes Earle and his third album in under three years. Woody Guthrie once said, InchAny fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.Inch on Harlem River Blues, Justin has chosen the simple route. The record's not a wall of sound produced to the rafters. It's rockin' and reelin' at times, sweet and slow at others-and it's great. Like good fried chicken, a well-cut suit and a handmade guitar, there's heaven to be found in the beautifully crafted simpler things. Harlem River Blues straddles not only the Mason-Dixon line, but time itself. As versed in Mance Lipscomb as he is in M. Ward and sporting Marc Jacobs suspenders, Justin Townes Earle is a man beyond eras. With Harlem River Blues, a record that's perfect for summer nights on either the front porch or the fire escape, Justin's found yet another way to be a timeless original.

2019 . The Saint Of Lost Causes is the eighth album from American roots troubadour, Justin Townes Earle. Earle's album finds a songwriter and artist who is unflinching and unequivocal in his truth. When writing this album, Earle focused on a different America - the disenfranchised and the downtrodden, the oppressed and the oppressors, the hopeful and the hopeless. There's the drugstore-cowboy-turned-cop-killer praying for forgiveness ('Appalachian Nightmare') and the common Michiganders persevering through economic and industrial devastation ('Flint City Shake It)'; the stuck mother dreaming of a better life on the right side of the California tracks ('Over Alameda') and the Cuban man in New York City weighed down by a world of regret ('Ahi Esta Mi Nina'); the used up soul desperate to get to New Orleans ('Ain't Got No Money') and the sons of Bi**hes in West Virginia poisoning the land and sea ('Don't Drink the Water'). These are individuals and communities in every corner of the country, struggling through the ordinary and sometimes extraordinary circumstances of everyday life.

Some music lovers are familiar with Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne, Liszt's symphonic poem based on Victor Hugo. But who knows that, ten years earlier, César Franck was inspired by the same poem? This early piece is recorded here by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France conducted by Mikko Franck. They couple it with the famous Symphony in D minor, dedicated to Henri Duparc and premiered, without much success, in 1889. Even if the score is quite well-known today, in the end it is performed quite rarely, which is a pity, because it really has all the characteristics of a masterpiece melodic and harmonic inspiration, refined orchestration, variety of mood, an ingenious structure. Two works by Franck... by Franck! This album marks the beginning of a collaboration between Alpha and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, which will focus on very varied repertories
