Margo Price – Midwest Farmer’s Daughter (2016)

Midwest Farmer’s Daughter isn’t merely an autobiographical title for the retro country singer/songwriter Margo Price, it’s a nice tip of the hat to one of her primary inspirations, Loretta Lynn. The connections between the two country singers don’t end there. Toward the end of her career, the Coal Miner’s Daughter wound up collaborating with Jack White for 2004’s Van Lear Rose, and White’s Third Man Records provides a launching pad for Price, releasing her self-financed solo debut as-is as Midwest Farmer’s Daughter. Spare and lean like Loretta in her prime, Price nevertheless writes with the studied precision of a modern Americana songwriter; even when she gets explicitly autobiographical, as she does on the opening “Hands of Time,” it doesn’t play as confession ripped from the soul, it plays as poetry. Similarly, when she tightens the screws so her song turns into something sleek, it doesn’t play as Music City precision, it feels savvy and personal, surprising with its light hint of funk and Price’s clear, plaintive, and powerful vocal. This tension between the head and heart, between the country and the city, is what fuels Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, placing it on a warm, hazy plane that feels simultaneously sophisticated and down-home. Part of this dichotomy is due to Price’s singing: she sounds like the Illinois girl that she is, possessing a voice that’s pretty, plain, and unadorned, carrying an innocence that cuts against the worldliness of her songs. Her band, though, provides her songs with a genuine honky tonk kick, but even when the album drifts toward the traditional — as it does on “Hurtin’ (On the Bottle)” or “Four Years of Chances” — Price’s sensibility is modern, turning these old-fashioned tales of heartbreak, love, loss, and perseverance into something fresh and affecting.

Take a Picture is a 1968 album by singer-songwriter Margo Guryan. Take a Picture blends Margo’s infectious and highly intelligent songcraft with her absolutely unique voice – equal parts girl group innocence and seductive torch. One of the most endearing and delicious soft rock records from its era, here’s an impeccable Sundazed vinyl reissue of this ’68 masterpiece, direct from the original masters. “Margo Guryan is the most original songwriter that I’ve ever produced, and also something of an enigma. Underneath it all, she’s a schooled composer, but she writes moving pop songs. She writes from her heart, but also from her head.

Margie Joseph – Margie (1975/2012)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 41:03 minutes | 879 MB | Genre: Soul, Funk
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Rhino Atlantic
This was Margie Joseph’s third album for Atlantic. Like the first two, Arif Mardin was the producer, arranger and conductor, but it was to be the last time that Arif Mardin was Margie’s producer. The album yielded two minor hits, these being Words are impossible and Stay still. Covers of songs by Carole King (Believe in humanity, After all this time) and Bill Withers (The same love that made me laugh)sit comfortably among originals including two that Margie co-wrote with Arif (Sign of the times, Stay still). Margie Joseph was an excellent performer, but that big hit eluded her, so she never made the big time. Nevertheless, she made some excellent music of which this album is typical.

Margarita Höhenrieder – Clara & Robert Schumann: Works for Piano (2019)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:04:27 minutes | 976 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Solo Musica
Margarita Höhenrieder writes of her new release: “After just a few notes on this exceptionally fine Pleyel grand piano in Kellinghusen, north of Hamburg, in a collection of Eric Feller’s, I found myself plunged into a different century. This pianoforte was built in Paris in about 1855 and professionally restored using historical materials and methods. It is absolutely uniform with the instrument that Chopin possessed, and is of typically French elegance – in sound as well as in appearance. It reflects the soul of the Romantic era. Apart from that, it offers an authentic testimony to the sound of the instruments that Fryderyk Chopin and Robert and Clara Schumann played. Clara’s father, Friedrich Wieck, gave his daughter a Streicher grand, built in Vienna. Personally, I saw this Pleyel as the ideal instrument on which to play the works of Robert and Clara Schumann as authentically as possible while also matching as precisely as possible the exacting demands they place on piano technique. The constant aspiration in today’s music world towards ever larger and more versatile instruments and architecturally and acoustically challenging auditoria meant that I was in search of a convincingly authentic sound for compositions written in and around the 1830s, while also looking out for a suitable performance location – comparable to a mid-19th-century salon and differing from today’s concert halls.”

Margaret Batjer – Jalbert, Bach, Pärt & Vasks: Music for Violin & Orchestra (2019)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:03:41 minutes | 617 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © BIS
Making their first appearance on BIS, Margaret Batjer and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) cross great distances in both time and space in this programme of concertante violin works. The disc opens with a Violin Concerto by the American composer Pierre Jalbert (b. 1967), whose music has been described as ‘rich in instrumental color and harmonically engaging’. Composed in 2017, the 26-minute concerto was a commission from the orchestra and here makes its first recorded appearance. The next work takes us to 18th-century Germany, where Johann Sebastian Bach had been busy studying the concertos of his Italian colleagues, and especially Vivaldi. His Concerto in A minor is thought to have been composed around 1730, at a time when Bach had freed himself from his models, producing works richer in both texture and sentiment.

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 47:44 minutes | 552 MB | Genre: Country
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Columbia Nashville
A contemporary pop spin on feel-good, windows-down country, Hero is the debut studio album from Maren Morris. The Texas native cut her teeth writing songs for Tim McGraw and Kelly Clarkson, but her fresh perspectives and knack for radio-ready pop hooks caught the attention of executives in Nashville, and earned her comparisons to crossover stars such as Sheryl Crow and Kacey Musgraves. The songs that are new for HERO Deluxe, “Bummin’ Cigarettes”, “Space” and “Company You Keep”, all co-written by Morris, will be familiar to fans who have attended Morris’ sold out headlining HERO Tour 2017 as Morris has performed all three songs each night from the stage.

The Texas native cut her teeth writing songs for Tim McGraw and Kelly Clarkson, but her fresh perspectives and knack for radio-ready pop hooks caught the attention of executives in Nashville, and earned her comparisons to crossover stars such as Sheryl Crow and Kacey Musgraves. Fittingly, Hero includes Top 40 contenders, such as the carefree anthem “80’s Mercedes”, alongside soulful country tributes like “My Church”, a ballad about Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and the healing power of FM radio. The album reached #1 on the US Country Billboard.

After 2016’s Hero won her big awards from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association, Maren Morris took a left turn with the Top 40 pop smash “The Middle,” a collaboration with electro producer Zedd. So it’s no surprise that her follow-up blurs genre lines. “I’m cooking up my own flavor…making a mess straight outta scratch,” she sings on the sassy “Flavor,” which uses bro-country guitars and moody pop atmospherics to hammer home the point. There are some moments of purity: the terrific “All My Favorite People” ropes in country duo Brothers Osborne and lifts its melody from Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5”. With its slide guitars and shuffling drums, “To Hell and Back” would be right at home on a Miranda Lambert record. But mostly, Morris channels the queen of the middle, Sheryl Crow, as on the bouncy “Feels” and the folksy “A Song for Everything.” She also adopts the social themes du jour, calling for unity on “Common” (which features a guest turn from Brandi Carlile) and sisterhood support on “Girl.” Morris tries hard at being the popular girl, and it works.

Ernst K”ohler numbers among the representatives of the so-called Wroclaw organ school from the first half of the 19th century; this group of composers, whose oeuvre combines respect for the contrapuntal refinement of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music with the emotional aspects of the new Romantic trends and also heralds an apogee of synthesis; the most perfect embodiment of which was the organ and cantata-oratorio oeuvre of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. A certain stylistic conservatism and established opinion concerning the crisis in organ music during the first half of the 19th century is perhaps responsible for the relatively rare performance of works by such composers as Adolph Hesse, Moritz Brosig and Ernst K”ohler, the latter of whom is without doubt the least-known figure among the three names mentioned.
