Snider's Top 5 of '08 (so far)
Posted by Eric Snider on Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Wade just published his Top 10 favorite CDs of ’08, so far, and I figured I’d piggy-back. But I’m not going to do 10. I’ll do that in December, but for June I’ll keep it to five. Two of the five are on Wade's list, and I have to admit that that troubles me in some vague sort of way.
In no particular order:
• Al Green, Lay it Down (Blue Note)
The Rev’s best album of the 2000s. Producer ?uestlove lays down a seductive bed of sounds, and Al really struts his vocal chops on a series of sensuous, mostly mid-tempo songs.
• Firewater, The Golden Hour (Bloodshot)
Tod A made like a Bedouin, wandering through the Mediterranean/Middle East for three years and coming back with an exotic musical travelogue — that rocks. Full review
• Was (Not Was), Boo! (Ryko)
The R&B wackadoos return for their first album in 17 years, and pick up where they left off: Witty, irreverent lyrics, passionately sung, over organic funk and soul. Full review
• My Morning Jacket, Evil Urges (ATO/Red)
I wasn’t too familiar with MMJ before hearing this one, and it took a few listens, but now I’m completely hooked. Terrific songs that brush up, but aren’t anchored to, a variety genres. There's rarely anything overtly obvious here. An engaging mix of feels, tempos and instrumentation. Strong vocals.
• Shelby Lynne, Just a Little Lovin’ (Lost Highway)
The fetching songstress delivers a subdued and sexy set of tunes by one of her heroes, the late Dusty Springfield. Full review
