I think you might like them, Joyce, especially their early stuff and their current stuff. "Show Me" and "Fight for Love" are, imo, their 2 best albums, although this newest one, "Since When" is definitely up there. The first 2 I mentioned were released in the States, but they're probably out of print now. You might be able to find them in used shops. All of their albums are available through A&B Sounds (http://www.absound.ca/music/music.html), and are pretty cheap. Hope you find them!

Is it totally amazing? And (what I >really wanted) can I get a copy of this? Hi Neal (& other Joy Eden Harrison fans), Joy's (as yet still untitled, but we've all offered suggestions) new album is due out in January. She's started her own record company so release is tied up with that getting off the ground. And I'm not exaggerating at all when I tell you this album is totally amazing. Its so much more realized (both lyricly & musically) than "Angel Town". Cindy Lee Berryhill's arrangements are absolutely wonderful without sounding like "CLB arrangements". Anyone heavy-handed would have diminished what Joy was aiming for, but CLB was the perfect producer, IMO. The recordings have that "natural instrument sound" quality like Garage Orchestra but stay true to Joy's jazz roots. Joy's vocals on this blow away the somewhat sterilized sound of 'Angel Town". And bottom line is that these are much more engaging songs. Most of the songs deal with pain & loss but rather than be depressing, its more like a self-exploration & cathartic release of that pain. And how can anyone resist someone who sings: "My best friend says you're a walking time bomb I'm looking for a match so I can light your fuse" (from "Pushing My Luck") Anyway.... Joy had a few hundred "advance cassettes" made of the entire album that were sold ($10)to The EDAs on the Living Room Tour. They are professional tapes with custom artwork, credits, etc. The only difference is that the songs are not in the same finalized order that will appear on the CD. I think she has a few of these left. I can check on that for you. If anyone else wants this advance cassette, drop me a line. I'll call Joy today & see how many are left & if the remaining copies can be snagged by interested Ectophiles via mail order or something.

So, to those who do not know who she is, Jessica Weiser is a full-fledged Fumbler, a Sarah Mclachlan Mailing List member. Through her studies, Jess has also been writing her own music, strumming a lil' guitar, and singing her swooning melodies. And, as of September 18th, her EP, What has Happened, was delivered to her and ready to be shipped to those who needed to hear the voice that nearly every known Mid-Western Fumblers rant and rave about. But what is it about her that everyone talks about? Quite simply, how closely to Tara MacLean she sounds, both vocally, and musically. And on September 23rd, the little brown package that held the CD was sitting on my desk. And now the honor of the Grand Stooner Dissection: 3 Parts Tara MacLean; 1 Part Sarah Bettens(of K's Choice); a pinch of Liz Phair and Emm Gryner; and hint of Ani Difranco. From the title track, 'Waiting', Jess shows her passion for emotional release with this slightly edgy and Ani DiFranco-folk tune. Moving into the folky 'Left,' Jess' tale of a harsh break-up, the Tara Maclean sounds start to hint it's way at you, but when you get to the divine solo track, 'What Can I say?' it comes very clearly that Tara was a major influence to her. The difference I see is that Jess has found a way to be better in the way of her moody vocals and guitar. 'All I Could Do' is the next fine addition to her EP. It is this track that I just fell into deep love for. Whether it was the smooth electric guitar or lusty vocals, I found this one particular track to be notable as the best upon her CD. Closing the CD with 'Cage of Wire,' Jess soothes you one last time with her trusty guitar as she proves that her passion for music can move you as well as create the certain emotions she felt in writing it. This CD is a very fine addition to my vast collection, and to all that made it this far, I strongly recommend that you hunt her down or find someone that can to get it for you.

So here goes. I've rarely been looking forward to a show as much as I was this one. I've been a big Sarah fan since before Fumbling... came out, but had only had the one opportunity to see her live (at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London about 3 years ago). With all the Lilith touring it looked like she was never going to make it over here. So when this show was announced my wife and I immediately got tickets. Got to the Royal Albert Hall fairly early on Wednesday night (about 6pm), before the doors opened. When we got in, was slightly disappointed at the merchandising - just one stall with a small selection of unexciting T-shirts, no programme. My wife was quite pleased with the free pore cleanser and self-heating face mask given out at the door, but it didn't do much for me! Audience split was probably majority female, though not by as much as I expected. Our seats were pretty good - off to one side of the stage but pretty near the front. First up was Lisa Loeb, playing acoustic guitar backed by a string trio. I've never really been a fan but I quite enjoyed her set. Highlight was definitely when she said "I'd like to thank Sarah McLachlan, who's going to join me on this next song" before going into "Falling in Love". I really liked that song on the Lilith Fair CD, and with Sarah (obviously having a great time) on vocals it was spine-tingling. Took a rain-check on N'Dea Davenport - I'd never heard of her and we needed to take a break at some point in the evening to get some food and drink, so we sat that one out. Came back in for Beth Orton's set and was soooo glad that we did. Beth was sat on a chair right up front of the stage, playing an acoustic guitar, accompanied by another guy with an acoustic. Played some great songs, some old, some new (she's got a new album due out in January). The second of the new songs ("Blood Red River"?) was quite stunning. The main difference between Beth and Lisa Loeb, to me, was that although they played quite a similar set, Beth's voice had so much more character, more colour. Lisa was a bit monochromatic, both in dress and voice. Then came Sarah. Must have been strange for her to be so far down the bill but in the UK she doesn't have much of a profile, or so it must appear to your average record exec. The truth is somewhat different, as we found out. The hall filled up and there was a real buzz of expectation. Sarah came on to wild shouts and applause and sat down at the piano to start with "Adia" (new single just out in the UK - crazy choice to me). Except two bars in she hit a wrong note, followed by another one, then stopped. Laughed it off, tinkered with it for a little while then dived back in, to great applause. Sarah's set, in total, was: Adia - solo piano, sooooo much better than the anodyne version on Surfacing Possession - solo piano, giving it everything Full of Grace - solo piano, said she hadn't played it that way since she wrote it Ice Cream - solo acoustic guitar. Said she needed to play a cheery song or we'd think she was depressed! Angel - solo piano, joined by Sinead O'Connor (complete with lyric sheet!) on vocals Building a Mystery - joined by bass player and Sinead's drummer for a real rocking version. At this point the majority of the audience were on their feet and a bunch rushed to the front of the stage (Albert Hall is an all-seated venue). The place was going crazy at this point then..... ......that was it! Short set, no band. Bit of a feeling of being short-changed. Still, next up was Alison Moyet, and if this audience was now in the mood for a boogie, she was going to let them have it. She certainly has the voice to fill such a big space and she went for it big time, belting out a few old Yazoo classics as well as some newer stuff. Finished with a stunning version of "Ode to Boy". Big set change round to make room for vast amounts of equipment for Sinead's band then. While everyone else had made do with just the odd acoustic or piano, or maybe a small band (Alison), Sinead had a seven piece band. And they made a big sound. Created some interesting multi-layered soundscapes but somehow I didn't feel emotionally involved. High point of Sinead's set was when she did an acapella song - started off with just her singing into a microphone centre-stage. After one verse she was joined by her cellist, also singing into the same microphone, then one by one the whole band came out over the course of a few verses. All unaccompanied and totally captivating. Time was dragging on by this point (it was getting close to midnight) and a lot of the audience were obviously fretting about last trains home etc. So the finale was a bit cut short. Out trooped everybody, plus Kylie Minoguie who'd appeared from somehwere, to cluster around about 3 microphones. One song ("Redemption Song" was it?) was all they had time for. Beth Orton was trying hard to sing into the same mic as Sinead but obviously couldn't hear herself and eventually gave up, going off dancing round the stage instead. Then it was all over. Quite an experience, though I felt the half-hour sets gave no-one time to really settle into a groove and give of their best. Sarah's voice was in fine form, probably the best instrument on show that night. Sinead didn't seem comfortable with the ensemble approach, and didn't look at all happy towards the end - Sarah meanwhile was smiling from ear to ear and bounding round the stage. So the question is - when are Sarah's people going to realise that she could handle a UK tour? Both times I've seen her here she's appeared surprised by the outstanding reception she's got. The promotion of her albums has been appalling - FtE got released at least a year after the US release and had no single to support it, Surfacing got released earlier in the year and is being re-released next week, but choosing Adia as a single is crazy. That sort of song will not brteak into radio or onto TV, which (unfortunately) is what sells records here. And whoever decided that the way to push the single was to stamp "Top 5 in the USA" on the front wants shooting - in my experience, that will drive people AWAY from buying it! I suspect that someone with little experience of the UK market is doing Sarah's promotion here. Well, I'll wrap up there. I had a great time and have some great memories to carry me through the barren days of ecto-free concerts ahead!

Okay, um... With all the talk of Jewel's new album I pulled out a live tape someone sent me a year ago to hear some of the newer songs that everyone is raving about. Many people have told me that although I disliked the first album (with the exception of 2 or 3 songs.) that if I heard Jewel live I would change my mind--and I didn't believe them... ... Well. This tape kicks some serious ass. I'd recently read Jewel's chapter in the SOLO book, and it comes off a *bit* egocentric, but a lot of what she says is very profound and interesting, etc. The tape includes some songs with a band-- "Carnivore" and "Love me just leave me" (is that right?), "Race car driver (?)" and my favorite "Sometimes it be that way"... I really like her with a band. A lot. I think those songs are more interesting than the ones on POY but some of the live versions of those songs are *great*... With the success of POY and this being her 2nd album, she really has the power to do pretty much anything with this new album--to play around and experiment, etc. So I'm interested to hear what she's going to do with it... really. Anyway, if you've judged Jewel based on the radio or her huge success or anything like that, maybe you should give her live show a try and give the 2nd album a listen-- I think we're in for a surprise. jessica n. weiser http://adam.nettfriends.com/Jess "i've got nothing to say and nothing to do, but hope i heal soon cause death is a new day a new day without you." -emm g. :( ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 11:31:07 -0400 From: "Tom Ditto" Subject: re: Troy?????

I think Happy's last concert in Troy Music Hall failed to exploit the acoustics, but surely that means this time she'll play to the space. It really should be worth hearing. And then there is the question of her road show. There is a balcony; so if she actually has projection gear, this is a very good venue. They may not allow it. There is a great deal of paranoia about fire. The building is a 19th century stone and wood structure, and the inside is kept tinder dry to preserve the extraordinary acoustics.

Do I hear the sound of Mike struggling out of a prior commitment. It says M2OH will be there the night before with a quartet. M2OH opens the series with the same prices and time. Vic Chesnutt a very snappy jazz pianist is there 10/30 8 p.m. same price. Halloween night’s show sounds like I’d like to check it out. Nevermore 2: Readings from Edgar Alan Poe. Sat 10/31 8 p.m. $30/$25 Wear a Costume. Hal Wilner’s ongoing quest to record the complete works of Poe. "An unpredictable mix of musicians and actors performing revelatory interpretations of poems and stories by the master of horror and suspense." John Hurt and Steve Buscemi are slated to appear. Hal always works with seriously cool musical folks and I think this is going to be quite strange. Nov 13 they’ve got "A Conjurement of Blues & Spirituals" Corey Harris/Alvin Youngblood Hart/Henry Butler. Blues meets swing, ska, jazz, Leadbelly & Zappa. 11/14 they’ve got Billy Strayhorn with a bunch of downtown improv guys. Greg Cohen a collaborator of Tom Waits & Laurie Anderson’s the musical director. Marty Ehrlich (reeds) Ken Peplowski (clarinet) Vincent Chancy (French horn) Steven Bernstein (trumpet) Joey Baron’s on drums. Tenor Saxman King Curtis does a show 11/20 with Steve Bernstein, David "Fathead" Newman and Cornell Dupree. Saturday Nov 21 in what may be a highlight of the series Susan will be performing the Music of Sandy Denny. 8 p.m. $ 30 & 25 Peter Holsapple and his band the Continental Drifters back everything up. Katell Keineg, Mike Mills of REM, Darius Rrucker, Marti Jones, Susan Cowsill, Vickie Peterson, Don Dixon, Caitlin Cary and Ryan Adams, Michael Steele, John Crooke, Sloan Wainwright and Teddy Thompson. Such a big lineup doesn’t bode well for long sets but I just can’t pass it up. I'd double check the details on the Sanny Denny thing as I seem to remember Susan saying that it's a two day thing and that she'd only be there the second night. St. Ann's changes things frequently. The "Oyster Festival" is news to me. I’ve got no clue but seek enlightenment. I’m going to try and make Susan’s Prime-CD thing at the Bottom Line on 10/7 but there again, looks like short sets that night too.

Andrew voted that I go see Cat Power...and I will, although I'll go see them in Athens, GA Mon nite rather than see them in what will be a very smokey venue, the Point, in Atlanta tomorrow nite. Besides, tonite I go to an early show of Sinead Lohan and then later the Changelings at another venue. I leave momentarily for the Sinead show, which I hear from our Celtic d.j John Falstaff is a "must see" show. I also bought her cd for $9.99 yesterday and rather like it. She's very versatile and good at what she does, although it's somewhat formulaic pop for my taste. But it's piqued my curiousity to see her live. There was a fascinating article about Cat Power in the freebie weekly paper...hey, she apparently lived in Atlanta for a long time, moving just about when I got here. And she's got ties to Aussie band the Dirty Three, which has a cd that's been put out by Bella Union, Robin Gutherie and Simon Raymonde (of Cocteaus) label. So the ties are intriguing...plus her personna sounds very interesting to me. I'll look to see if the article is on-line and forward it to the list if I can! Report back to ya Monday or Tuesday!

(actually i'm not sure it wasn't just dar - damn my memory) we also went to see veda hille, kinnie starr and oh susannah (the scrappy bitch tour) at richard's on richards, a pub-type place downtown. pubs are *really* not my element... wanted to burn my clothes, i swear. *cough cough* veda was wonderful, though i'm afraid i didn't quite enjoy her performance as much as last time i saw her over a year ago - perhaps this time i knew what to expect and so wasn't quite so blown away. the three of them did some really silly bickering as part of the whole scrappy bitch thing, which was a lot of fun. i'd never heard kinnie starr before, and i must say i was quite impressed with her style and performance. she quite makes me think of ani difranco, minus the staccato guitar. oh susannah is... well, not to my taste, as i knew from last time (when it was just veda and o.s.). pretty country. i rarely buy tour shirts, but i *could not* resist the scrappy bitch tour shirt. anyone who sees it should understand. - -damon Damon Harper des Jumeaux _/\_ "I'm Canadian, actually. damon@pobox.com __\ /__ That's like an American, Les Jums: jumeaux@pobox.com \ / but without the gun." http://pobox.com/~jumeaux/ |/||\| - Kids in the Hall ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V4 #345 **************************
