01.Sam Philips - Don't Do Anything
02.Joan Baez - Day After Tomorrow
John Baez established herself early on as someone whose ears were as golden
as her voice. She was able to appreciate quality songwriting and add a
personal touch to her covers that made the songs distinctively hers. This
time she offers selections from established artists like Steve Earle (who
produced the disc), Tom Waits, and Elvis Costello, along with lesser known
yet impeccable talents like Patty Griffin, Eliza Gilkyson, and Thea Gilmore.
Baez offers passionate renditions of their songs that share a common theme of
existing at the corner of where the personal meets the political.
03.Bonnie Bramlett - Beautiful
04.Carlene Carter - Stronger
One could have guessed never to count out the daughter of June Carter Cash
(and Johnny Cash’s stepdaughter) just because she encountered some adversity
in her life. As the title says, she’s come back stronger on this hard-drivin
’ album of heartfelt music. She sings about lessons learned the hard way,
but she’s far from bitter. “Why Be Blue” as she succinctly puts it on one
cut. Carter knows she’s still cool. While the music scene has radically
changed since her early days as a country punk chanteuse, Carter still has
the attitude and the chops, and she knows how to use them.
05.Kathy Mattea - Coal
The year 2008 might seem too modern for a concept album about coal mining,
but Kathy Mattea knows better. In these energy hungry days where millions of
dollars in public relations money gets spent promoting clean coal, Mattea
reminds us of the difficult life of coal miners through forthright and
passionate versions of classic songs by Merle Travis, Hazel Dickens, and Jean
Ritchie as well as lesser known tunes that ring as clear and loud as John
Henry’s hammer. Marty Stuart’s production lets Mattea’s voice tell the
stories in a loud, clear voice that expresses survival in a world where pain
has found a home.
06.Aimee Mann - @#%&! Smilers
07.Phoebe Snow - Live
08.Emmylou Harris - All I Intended To Be
Can this really be Emmylou Harris’s 21st studio album on a major label? Her
work ethic is only rivaled by her talents and concern for the world in which
we live. She covers some outlaw classics by Billy Joe Shaver and Merle
Haggard, some contemporary female songwriters like Patty Griffin and Tracy
Chapman, and also shows off her own songwriting abilities on the stunning “
Sailing Around the Room” (inspired by the Terry Schiavo case) and “How She
Could Sing the Wildwood Flower” (based on A.P. and Sara Carter’s marriage).
These last two songs were cowritten by two other women deserving of praise,
Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
09.Labelle - Back To Now
10.Juana Molina - Un Dia
