Taking It Home - #39

Buckwheat Zydeco

1988 Island 1/1/88

First heard this sound in New Orleans with Lisa Dobrus.  It is local folk music of the 19th and 20th Century.  A mix of Cajun and county.  Great music, a good album.  It's not heard much out of New Orleans so it is new to just about everyone.

Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares Mystery of the Bulgarian Voice- #138

Bulgarian State Radio Choir

1987 Elektra 1/1/87

Really a mystical appeal, some of the most beautiful strange music I have heard.  What ever happened to the introduction to this stuff on NPR.  New music is so hard to find since NPR started to talk too much.

Winds Of Change - #629

Burdon, Eric; and The Animals

1968 One Way Records 1/1/68

A wow of an album in 1968 when I first heard the this.  It was the first Burdon I bought and his blue eyed soul wowed me.  The beats of the songs wowed me, the thoughtfulness of the lyrics wowed me.  Thirty years later the album seems a bit dated.  It might not seem so if the original was mixed as a, or had more, theme.  It is wonderful.  "The Black Plaque" was the first rock music that I think of that gave a story.

Eric Burdon Declares "WAR" - #415

Burdon, Eric; War

1970 Avenue 3/1/70

A really great Jazz debut for War.  Really R&B I suppose but it is very good and improvisional.  Excellent way to get WAR launched.
