The Chieftains do traditional Irish music very well. They play w/ Van Morrison alot and just put out a cd + cass. I got the cass after a good review in *Newsweek*, no less, because of 2 Sinead O'Conner vocals and was happy w/ those 2 cuts and recognised the quality of the rest tho I'm not into trad. Irish music.

Irish music. If *you* do, then you will love their show! > The Chieftans were responsible for the renewed interest in traditional Irish music, some ridiculously long period of time ago (like 20 or 25 years... I think they had a 25 year album a few years ago). They manage to keep themselves fresh and pushing new directions by playing with people as varied as Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith, Roger Daltrey and Mick Jagger. The recent album The Long Black Veil (mentioned above) seems kind of a mixed bag to me. The oddest thing about it was that I was interested in it because of Sinead's contributions, and I thought they were among the weakest moments. The people I was most sceptacle of (Mick Jagger and Tom Jones) have my two favorite songs on the disc. In between are solid contributions from Marrianne Faithful and Ry Cooder. (Aside to Marrianne Faithful fans: She's apparently pretty sick right now and cancelling portions of her tour. Her DC show tonight has been cancelled.) The Van Morrison and the Chieftans album Celtic Heartbeat is a great album. (Oddly enough, it contains many songs that are on Loreena McKennit's Elemental.) And of course, more recently, the Chieftans had been on tour with Sarah McLachlin. Probably none of those people would show up at the show you are going to, but if you like traditional Irish music, you should be happy regardless. (Although I would rather spend my money seeing a smaller trad band in a club somewhere.)

Maybe it just isn't what i expected .. I'm not sure. The first song i like, and the third one but I find myself not wanting to bother listening to the rest. heather nova i've had for a while but i still adore it. :) (i mention this becuase there was some comparison between these two a ways back) the new jane siberry: hmmm well i definitely don't _dislike_ it and i play it in my office occasionally. It doesn't grab my attention enough most of the time though when it does I react with "ooh jazzy weird for jane to sound like _this_" but I don't mind.. i'd just rather put in when I was a boy (which i picked up finally for my own at the same time i got Maria). A testimonial dinner: wow. I love the whole thing. Sarah's cover of dear god is too incredible. I quite clearly remember first listening to it. I had just read Meth's message about an hour or so before hand. I had high expectations. Well I had high expectations anyway. But certainly, I was very excited. So, the song started, and i thought mmm sounds good so far. Then after a minute or so I started to worry. I've been let down by such things before and i was starting to think "damn it's gonna turn out to be mostly lame and i'll never really want to _listen_ to it." Then all of a sudden I went "WOW, well never mind that this is really _good_". And then a moment later I was just floored because it got even better. I listened to it several times in a row and that disc hasn't come out of the changer yet. ani difranco: i got two, an earlier self titled one, and the most recent one. I've only listened to the earlier one so far. For some reason i did _not_ have high expectations for this album. I'm pretty certain I expected her to seem a bit too folky for my personal tastes. But I seem to like this one quite a lot! She reminds me of suzanne vega somehow. i got a bunhc of other things recently too but those are the ones I had wanted to comment on for now. --jessica ------------------------------ From: jwaite@popmail.ucsd.edu (Jerene Waite) Date: Sun, 22 Oct 1995 01:08:09 -0700 Subject: Heather Nova concert I saw Heather Nova at a dive in San Diego last week. Generally, my criterion for a good concert is the music should be at least as good as the recording, but preferably *not* identical. By this standard, it was a very good concert. As mentioned by others, the songs were all from Oyster, but the backing was different. In many ways I preferred the live band's renditions over that on the CD. It is true that Heather appeared almost frightened, definitely not relaxed. Some people are showy and some people aren't. She seems to have some kind of tremor in her wrist at times that certainly didn't interfere with guitar playing. The sounds from her mouth were wonderful. To me, that's really all that counts. I especially liked her acoustic rendition of Truth & Bone. The location was a tiny hole in the wall (that should, perhaps, be spackled), so the sound was not what it should have been. Bjork is going to be in concert at Symphony Hall in a few weeks. I think Heather's artistry deserves Symphony Hall too. "Feels good . . . feels like poetry." ------------------------------ From: joels@sd.cts.com (Joel Siegfried) Date: Sun, 22 Oct 1995 01:59:24 -0700 Subject: Heather in L.A. and San Diego - Review Hi Ecto fans! I was fortunate to see Heather Nova perform in L.A. on October 17th, and again on the 19th in San Diego, and wanted to share my brief impressions with those on this list. I had hoped to do a much more "polished" and detailed piece, but time constraints prevented me from doing so -- I'm leaving shortly for Las Vegas to visit with Ilka and Pete for a few days! Anyway, hope you enjoy. --------------- She's An Angel - Heather Nova in L.A. and San Diego I went to L.A. yesterday to see and hear Heather Nova at the Roxy. Didn't get back until 3 am. Heather was wonderful. I got to hear her full soundcheck, meet and interview her road manager Gene, who manages for Tim Buckley, and got taken backstage to chat with Heather. It was sold-out, but rather than ask to be comped (I hate imposing on people), I paid $15 for a ticket from a scalper, only $5 over face. Parked at the Pacific Design Center on San Vincente and Melrose for $2.25, and walked to Sunset. Ate chinese, sizzling shrimps, and was joined by Heather's drummer and bass player. Then hung around the Rainbow Bar and Grill next to the venue, before the Roxy opened. The Roxy is a venerable dive. Tables around the walls, dark, bat cave-like. The music was over-amped, with a standing room only crowd in front. Thank God I had a table that was elevated, and had brought my binoculars AND ear-plugs. Heather's road manager invited me to show up in San Diego around 3 pm to hear and see them set up, and do sound checks, and maybe interview Heather briefly for 10 minutes for a Reader article. She liked the fact that me and her friend Ilka are buddies. She calls me "an Internet guy". By the way, I thought that she sounds much better on CD than over-amplified live, but the smoke, high volume, crowds, and a Drambuies or so didn't help to improve the music. It was fun driving for 3 hours, passing the Beverly Hills Hotel and the ghosts of Nicole and Ron, cruising around for parking, finding the venue, and walking in (via the stage door) just as Heather was singing "You're an Angel". That WAS magic! Getting home alive was also a good feat. Thursday night I saw Heather perform in San Diego at Brick by Brick, a much better venue than the Roxy in LA. I couldn't make it for her sound-check, but showed up around 6:30, and poked my head inside her tour bus to say "hi". Actually I poked my whole body inside and asked Heather if she'd like to show me the picture she carries of my friend Ilka and her bird. She recognized me as "Joel", teased me about not believing her, and went to fetch it. I thanked her for the LA concert, and she said that she was happy to hear that I had gotten a ticket after all. Great memory. I introduced my friend to her, and then we left for a Thai restaurant, getting back at 8:30 to find a front row table, after chatting with the club's new owner. There were 3 acts: Kings Road (great), will see them on the 30th at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, Bens Folds Five (from Chapel Hill, NC -- the act that opens for Heather), 3 very loud guys, funny, good piano and clowning, but without my ear plugs I'd be deaf. And of course Heather and her band -- drums, cello, bass and guitar + Heather on electric guitar (or is it bass?). Heather didn't go on until 11:30 and performed until 12:45. I thought the audience sucked, with several nitwits talking heatedly to each other and not once looking up at Heather! Then there were the dancers and cheerleaders, and the miscellaneous screamers, surprising for an older, mixed audience. But her performance was primo, she is superb, and over-all, the distractions just added to the ambiance. Afterwards I stopped by her tour bus where she was greeting fans. Two German men told me they wanted her to have their baby. I said that was a great goal. They thought that Brick by Brick was an extraordinary venue, "like something out of a movie"; in Germany there is always heavy security, and the fans could not get so close and intimate. They thought the crowd was well behaved, compared with German audiences. Finally, I thanked Heather, glowing and energized by her performance. She signed her early album for me, Blow, remembering my name, and telling me to "take care" in her inscription. She said the album was an old one, and I told her how much I loved Blessed and had used a quote from it as part of my email signature. With that she put me on the spot by asking, "Which quote?". I think I may have mangled it, as I tried to recall "It's easy when you're blessed, with money, love and sex." I then asked her about US/European audiences. "When I perform on stage, people are just people", she said. She asked me to thank everyone on the "Net" who has been so kind to her, and especially the guys who have set up web pages to pass along information about her music. She said that she is working on getting a computer and having access to the Net and to email. With that, I wished her luck for the rest of her tour, and touching her lightly on her arm, said goodbye. My friend Josie was in ecstacy over the concert. I retrieved a poster from off the wall and gave it to her. It was a good night for both of us! -=END=- Cheers, Joel joels@cts.com - -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Joel Siegfried San Diego, California - USA Voice (619) 222-9236 | | Internet addresses: joels@cts.com ei955@cleveland.freenet.edu | | "But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this." - Tori Amos | | "It's easy when you're blessed with money, love and sex." - Heather Nova | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ From: jeffw@smoe.org (Jeff Wasilko) Date: Sun, 22 Oct 1995 11:38:09 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Siberry Tour Schedule update I had the great pleasure of attending 2 back-to-back shows last night in Northampton, and what can I say...It was a religious experience.

I found this on the web (Music News of the World -- http://www.addict.com/ATN/Music_News_Of_The_World/ ) and I couldn't remember seeing it mentioned here already... (apologies if it has been) Victoria Williams: You Can't Keep A Good Woman Down ___________________________________________________ ATN's Jennie Yabroff reports: Back from her battle with MS, Victoria Williams is making up for lost time. Last year she released Loose, a triumphant collection that included such eccentric material as "Harry Went To Heaven" and "Happy to Have Known Pappy." Due shortly is a live CD, This Moment In Toronto, which was recorded on location at the Bathurst Street Theater in Toronto in March of this year. The CD features renditions of songs from Loose as well as William's earlier CDs, as well as covers of standards like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." Williams is already at work on another studio album, which is slated for a '96 release. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis two years ago, Williams was in dire straits, having no money and no medical insurance, until her many friends and admirers, including Pearl Jam, Lou Reed, and Soul Asylum, came together to create the Sweet Relief album, with all proceeds from the project going straight to Williams. As previously reported by Addicted To Noise, Sweet Relief 2 is in the works, and will feature, among others, R.E.M., Kristin Hersh, and Bob Mould. The album will include covers of Vic Chestnutt songs, and will benefit a musician's health charity. ------------------------------ From: Philip Sainty Date: Mon, 23 Oct 1995 15:12:57 +1300 Subject: Re: alt.music.alternative.female I noticed someone on a.m.a.f asking for suggestions for a female vocalists music hour on a local radio station, and so I sent him a list of my own, and thought I'd copy it to here in case people wanted to do likewise...

Turns out it was a friend of mine from Montreal..."Your phone was busy all night [internet], but I knew you'd be home now" [I work at 11 so I don't get up til close to 10!]. Anyway, she called to thank me for the advance samples of Amanda Marshall I'd sent her...we've both been big fans for quite a while, and like me, she's been eagerly anticipating the album. "It's really different than her live stuff", she said. "Very commercial, but good. It's pretty mellow, but I like all of it". I agree with her, it really is "commercial", and I don't think it's for everyone here. If you're curious though, the record company has put up a website for Amanda, with photos, info and audio clips. You can find it at http://www.music.sony.com/Canada. I grabbed the new Weeping Tile album,"Cold Snap", Friday, and have been listening to it over the weekend. After their brilliant debut, "eePee", this one is disappointing. Let me spend a bit more time with it, and I'll try to say why soon.

I had never heard of them (I don't remember them being talked about here). Tiddas is three Australian women who sing politically charged songs either with two acoustic guitars or a cappella (well, they were using some aboriginal rhythm instruments; i.e., banging pieces of wood, mostly). "Tiddas" is, according to one of the women, an Australian aboriginal word meaning "sisters." They sang an 8 song set, moving through variations in their basic instrumentation. They said they had two Australian releases, and announced their first US release, _Sing About Life_, the first single being 'Inside My Kitchen'. I wasn't sure of all of the song titles, as they didn't announce them, but they were something like: 'Don't sing me your anthem', a song pointing out how inappropriate the Australian National Anthem is for its aboriginal population; 'Spirit of the Winter Tree (?)'; an aboriginal lullaby; 'Given Easily (?)'; 'Malcom Smith' about an aboriginal Australian who stole a bicycle at age 11 and spend the rest of his life in jail (until he killed himself at 25); 'Inside my Kitchen,' a love song I think; and 'Sing About Life.' I can hear you asking, "But what did they SOUND like?????" Three strong, forceful, clear-as-a-bell voices, intricately harmonizing, weaving short solos and duets into every song. I don't know who to say they're 'like', except maybe a sort of Aussie Indigo Girls. I believe the 'spokes-singer' was an aboriginal herself (although this wasn't really clear). They were wonderful, if perhaps a little politically heavy-handed. I don't know if they're doing an entire tour with Arlo or not, but if they are, it's well worth it to see the show. [Arlo (and son Abe) were terrific, btw. Sang old and new, even a Dylan, Steve Goodman and a Woody song. Arlo was -very- funny and personable, talked to the half-full room like we were old friends. Said he didn't plan to do "The Song" this decade, but then realized it was the 30th anniversary of the event of the song, so did it anyway, with a different ending.] Total package: great.
