Playlist for Sound Salvation on July 27, 2007.
| Song Title | Artist | Album | Label |
| Planet Earth | Prince | Planet Eart | Columbia * |
| At this stage, I think Prince is settling into a comfortable niche as a very good, but no longer great, songwriter. I think this song has the most originality shown on his new record, not to mention the most ambition. | |||
| Dance Tonight | Paul McCartney | Memory Almost Full | MPL * |
| I'm still loving this record, even though some people I know are stubbornly resisting it. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Final Frontier | Loudon Wainwright III | Strange Weirdos | Concord * |
| Loudon with impeccable guitar accompaniment by Richard Thompson. That's a very good thing. | |||
| Sneaky Boy | Richard Thompson | Sweet Warrior | Shout! Factory * |
| Here's Richard Thompson accompnaying himself. Allow me to interject a complaint at this time: I intended to play Rufus Wainwright in this set, but the CD is missing from the library here at the station. Oh, sure, somebody probably just borrowed it to burn a copy, but that's plain rude, people. UPDATE: Oops, I found it. As Emily Litella used to say, "Never mind." | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Change of Heart | Teddy Thompson | Upfront & Down Low | Verve Forecast * |
| Hey, no wonder this song sounds so comfortably familiar. I played it last week. Still, I'm coming around to Teddy's country effort. The guy can sing, and these songs are great, of course. | |||
| Not Ready to Love | Rufus Wainwright | Release the Stars | Geffen * |
| See, the fact that Rufus spends so much of his time building gigantic orchestral sounds around him makes these quiet intimate moments even more powerful. This song is heart-crushingly beautiful. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Whiskey, Bob Copper and Me | Linda Thompson | Versatile Heart | Rounder * |
| One more from the Thompson family. Teddy's mom has a new album hitting the stores in a couple weeks, and it's brilliant. This cut pays tribute to the late great patriarch of the Copper Family, one of Britain's most important folk music resources. I was lucky enough to see them several years back, thanks to the efforts of our own Judy Stein, host of Sunday morning's invaluable Family Reunion program. | |||
| Lowlands of Holland | Peggy Seeger | Three Score and Ten | Appleseed * |
| Eliza Carthy and Martin Carthy, who accompanied Linda on that last song, are members of a pretty major English folk music family themselves. Here, they are joined by matriarch Norma Waterson paying tribute to Peggy Seeger (of an American folk music family of some renown, who was married to Ewan MacColl, father of Kirsty MacColl) on her 70th birthday. | |||
| Raggle Taggle Gipsies | Waterson: Carthy | Broken Ground | Topic |
| I'm gonna stop my family connections here, with this stone classic from the Waterson:Carthy line-up we've seen so many times here in St. Louis, again thanks to Focal Point and Judy Stein. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Things Behind the Sun | Nick Drake | Pink Moon | Island * |
| Reissued and remastered, a classic original of English folk. | |||
| Beauty Way | Eliza Gilkyson | Our Town Tonight | Red House * |
| Her dad wrote the music for "The Jungle Book." Her brother used to be in X. I'm just sayin'. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall | Ann Wilson | Hope & Glory | Zoe * |
| Well, knock me over with a feather, but I've fallen in love with this soon-to-be-released all covers project from the singer of Heart. Here, she's joined by Rufus Wainwright and Shawn Colvin for a dramatic re-think of the Dylan song. | |||
| Every 24 Hours | Peter Case | Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John | Yep Roc * |
| Playing guitar and singing harmony, it's Richard Thompson on this lead-off cut from Case's first album for the year's best record label, Yep Roc. | |||
| A Better Man | Nick Lowe | At My Age | Yep Roc * |
| Nick Lowe is singing better than he's ever done before, making this a record for the ages. | |||
| Fuss About Nothin' | Ian Hunter | Shrunken Heads | Yep Roc * |
| I think this might be my favorite song on a record chock full of keepers. This album is sneaking up on me. I liked it from the first, but I'm starting to love it. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Dame Una Sena | Los Straitjackets | Rock En Espanol | Yep Roc * |
| The great Big Sandy sings "Gimme Little Sign" in Spanish, with producer Cesar Rosas helping out on background vocals. | |||
| Muswell Hillbilly | Southern Culture on the Skids | Countrypolitan Favorites | Yep Roc |
| Party album of the year! (Although for a real party, mix this one with the Los Straitjackets, and the dance floor will never get a rest.) | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Smells Like Teen Spirit | Patti Smith | Twelve | Columbia * |
| Taking a song which got way more respect than it deserved, and making something brilliant of it, with banjos no less! | |||
| We Gotta Get Out of This Place | Ann Wilson | Hope & Glory | Zoe * |
| Ann and Wynonna absolutely claim this Animals classic for themselves. Stunning! | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| God Put a Smile Upon Your Face | Mark Ronson | Version | RCA * |
| Another all-covers album, but I don't have any idea who did the original of this. I do know the Daptone Horns kick butt on it. | |||
| Nothing But a Heartache | Detroit Cobras | Tied & True | Bloodshot * |
| My fave song on an album full of great ones. Anybody know who did the original? | |||
| Long White Cadillac | The Blasters | Trouble Bound | Hightone |
| The Blasters will be at Beale on Broadway next Friday, Aug. 3, and at Euclid Records earlier (5 pm) for a sneak preview. If you saw them last year, you know, and if you missed them last year, you can't imagine. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Big Moon | John Doe | A Year in the Wilderness | Yep Roc * |
| John Doe will be performing a house concert Wednesday Aug. 8. Info at woodconcerts.com. I like Doe best when he sings the blues, as on this cut. | |||
| Twenty Miles | Melody Den | Melody Den | Perdition * |
| This St. Louis band will have its CD release party at Off Broadway in two weeks, on Aug. 11. | |||
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Too Hot to Sleep | Eilen Jewell | Letters From Sinners and Strangers | Signature Sounds * |
| You gotta love those old-fashioned songs with the big reverby guitars. | |||
| River | Madeleine Peyroux | Half the Perfect World | Rounder |
| Peyroux brings in kd lang to help sing this Joni Mitchell masterpiece. | |||
