New Releases From Narrows Artists

With so much music floating around, it's difficult to wade through all the information. That's why, as a public service, your humble blogger is listing selected releases over the past week or so from artists who have performed, or will be performing at, or we would love to have perform at, the Narrows. The information is gleaned from allmusic.com and other sources. So if you're a fan of the music presented at the Narrows, this might be a good starting point in tracking down a recording you may enjoy.

Jeff Beck--Emotion & Commotion (Nice story in Rolling Stone a few months ago featuring Jeff Beck & somewhat historic rival Eric Clapton. Worth tracking down to see how Mr. Beck views his relative anonymity compared to Clapton's celebrity.)

Chris Farlowe--a couple releases are listed: Art of Chris Farlowe, as well as Best of Chris Farlowe. Mr. Farlowe was a protege of The Rolling Stones, a British soul singer who's version of the Stones' "Out of Time" is a favorite of your humble blogger.

Jefferson Airplane--Thirty Seconds Over Winterland/Early Flight. (Hey Jorma fans!)

B.B. King--On Stage with Lucille

Kaki King--Junior (We did a show or two with her a few years back. She was respected at that time; she's much more famous now, I think. In an email from Rounder Records announcing the release, the company says she's Rolling Stone's first-ever female guitar god.)

Tom Lehrer--Tom Lehrer Collection (Your humble blogger is a huge fan.)

Janiva Magness--Devil is an Angel Too. (She's coming May 15 to the Narrows. Been digging on this CD for a few days.)

Carrie Rodriguez--Love and Circumstances. (That's her on the right at one of the Narrows' Festivals of the Arts.)

Catherine Russell--Inside this Heart of Mine. (Great show the other night at the Narrows.)

Ravi Shankar--Nine Decades, Vol. 1. (I know we have some 1960s fans who come to our concerts. So who is more 1960s than Norah Jones' father?)

Please feel free to add other releases or make corrections.
