| What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). |

| Corky Siegel's Traveling Chamber Blues Show | |
|
Some days I have to go digging through the iTMS for something
interesting to write about. This isn't one of those days.
I'd never heard of Corky Siegel before his latest album showed up on the front page of the Music Store. The color and chaos of the album cover got my attention; it's like the Ringling Brothers had thrown up on my monitor. So naturally I had to give it a listen. And was hooked well before my thirty seconds was up. These guys are... different... A little research explained what the album title should have already told me: that this is a fusion of classical chamber music and blues. Some tracks are more bluesy; others are clearly classical. But the two influences combine in intriguing ways. Like fusion cooking, it's a mix of styles that produces something both unique and tasty. But I do wonder what's next? Bluegrass grunge? Zydeco big band? Rap instrumentals? And if anybody does these, am I entitled to royalties? |
