Various Artists - Ayombe: Heart Of Colombia's Mzsica Vallenata - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2014 album from the Alt-Country artist. Bobby Bare, Jr. could've phoned in a career. He could've exploited the fact that he was born into Nashville's Music Row elite, but instead he's blazed his own path of unique songwriting craftsmanship with a voice that blows through you like an unyielding wind on the desolate prairie. UNDEFEATED is BBJ's first since 2010 and is what he calls his 'break-up record,' but the whole of it is much more involved this isn't escapism, it's an emotional survival guide. Here are reality checks, clever wordplay and daring arrangements with raw and varied textures, channeling everything from mirror-ball gazing 70s R&B / Soul, to bright ballads from the hills and hollers of Venice Beach, to Bobby's own country music DNA. From anyone else, this refusal to play it on the straight and narrow might sound clutter or disjointed, but Bobby never even breaks a sweat. Album Tracks 1. North of Alabama By Mornin' 2. If She Cared 3. Big Time 4. Don't Wanna Know 5. Elegant Imposter 6. Undefeated 7. My Baby Took My Baby Away 8. Blame Everybody (But Yourself) 9. As Forever Became Never Again 10. Don't Stand at the Stove

First released in 1955 by Ducretet-Thomson (EMI), the LP anthology is said to be the Inchfirst of this music to become available in the West in which the recorded pieces were not presented as 'folklore' but as 'serious' music. Inch in 1997 it was digitally re-mastered and issued by AUVIDIS-NAÏVE as a 3-CD set in homage to Alain Daniélou (1907-1994), the prime mover of the legendary UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music. The set includes the first recordings published in the Western world of Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan. In addition to a short biography of Daniélou and his influence on Asian music and cultural heritage, liner notes include detailed explanations of the scales, rhythmic ideas, and instrumentation used in each song. This title, courtesy EMI France, is part of the UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music. The collection is being prepared for re- by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings to make the series publicly available again, along with more than a dozen never-released albums of musical traditions from around the globe.
