I Primi Passi Di Bonnie Raitt – Under The Falling Sky

bonnie raitt under the falling sky

Bonnie Raitt – Under The Falling Sky – 2 CD FMIC Records

Altra eccellente uscita per questa FMIC Records (??), la stessa che ha pubblicato di recente il bellissimo Carnegie di James Taylor http://discoclub.myblog.it/2015/01/10/altro-live-forse-il-piu-bello-james-taylor-carnegie/ , anche in questo caso di tratta di un doppio, però vero, come durata, che riporta due diverse esibizioni di Bonnie Raitt, registrate per dei broadcast radiofonici, quindi qualità sonora ottima, il 22 febbraio del 1972 ai Sigma Studios di Filadelfia la prima, e il 9 dicembre 1973 ai Record Plant di Sausalito, California, la seconda. Per i fans di Bonnie Raitt, questa volta, a differenza del pur ottimo Ultrasonic Studios 1972 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GALqVg3biE  dove la rossa californiana divideva la scena con Lowell George e John Hammond, entrambe le esibizioni sono a tutti gli effetti suoi concerti. E sono uno più bello dell’altro: nel primo, benché le note riportino “Bonnie Raitt, Guitar Vocals, Solo Performance”, la nostra amica è accompagnata dall’inseparabile Freebo al basso, oltre che, saltuariamente, anche da T.J. Tindall alla chitarra elettrica e da John Davis all’armonica.

La Raitt all’epoca, nonostante avesse poco più di 22 anni, era già una formidabile cantante e una bravissima chitarrista, soprattutto alla slide, e anche una discreta pianista. Il repertorio, come nei primi due dischi, Bonnie Raitt e Give It Up, accolti giustamente in modo entusiastico dalla critica, era un’eccitante miscela di blues, brani scritti da cantautori emergenti (e non, la title-track del CD porta la firma di Jackson Browne) e ballate dall’aura soul degna delle migliori cose di Laura Nyro, ma anche canzoni da cantautrice alla Joni Mitchell (ovviamente una non elide l’altra) La voce delle Raitt era chiara e squillante, con appena un accenno di quella raucedine che l’avrebbe resa una delle voci di riferimento della musica americana. Giustamente, ancora oggi, quando si vuole fare un complimento ad una nuova cantante che si muove tra rock e blues, si dice “sembra Bonnie Raitt”!

Nei due dischetti in oggetto si ascolta una giovane signora, in bilico tra timidezza e, probabilmente, una “leggera ebbrezza” da sostanze varie, che avrebbe condiviso negli anni a venire con il moroso Lowell George, presente in forza con i suoi Little Feat nel terzo album del 1973, Takin’ My Time, altro disco splendido uscito nell’ottobre del 1973, un paio di mesi prima del secondo concerto radiofonico, quello elettrico di nuovo con Freebo, più David Maxwell al piano, Joel Tepp alla chitarra e clarinetto e Dennis Whitted alla batteria. Premesso che nei due CD non c’è un brano scarso che sia uno, tra i migliori come non ricordare, nel disco “acustico”, in ambito Blues, versioni travolgenti di Rollin’ And Tumblin’ con il magico bottleneck della Raitt in azione, Mighty Tight Woman e Women Be Wise, dell’amata Sippie Wallace,  una torrida Finest Lovin’Man, con John Davis all’armonica e TJ Tindall alla solista e l’altro super classico Walkin’ Blues, tra i brani dei cantautori, Bluebird di Stills, il citato brano di Jackson Browne, Any Day Woman di Paul Siebel, stupenda, Too Long At The Fair di Joel Zoss, la pianistica Thank You, scritta dalla stessa Raitt, che sembra un brano perduto della Nyro, una deliziosa Can’t Find My Way Home, che se la batte con la versione dei Blind Faith, ma ripeto, sono tutte belle, un’oretta di delizie elettroacustiche https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLaqHor-apo  .

bonnie raitt live 1 bonnie raiit young 2

Il secondo CD ha “solo” 12 brani contro i 16 del primo, l’incisione, comunque molto buona, è forse un filo inferiore, ma qui ascoltiamo Bonnie Raitt in versione elettrica: si parte con Love Me Like A Man, un blues fenomenale scritto da Chris Smither https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXLP8_2B2sw , con un grande David Maxwell al piano, un altro brano di Sippie Wallace, You Got To Know How, con una atmosfera retrò da anni ’20-’30, grazie al clarinetto di Joel Tepp. I Thought I Was A Child è un altro brano scritto da Jackson Browne, molto mitchelliano pure questo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GJZ2gzkAKo , eseguito in sequenza con Under The Falling Sky, una versione molto più rock di quella dell’altro concerto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81ibYvc1PW4 . Ricorderei anche Give It Up And Let It Go, un brano della stessa Bonnie, che serve per introdurre la band che la accompagna, tratto dal secondo album, con grande uso della slide e preceduto da uno slow blues come Everybody’s Crying Mercy (come si fa a scegliere dei brani? Sono tutti belli!) con un grandissimo Maxwell. I Feel The Same, un’altra perla di Smither e la stupenda Guilty di Randy Newman  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmGlY-8cFCU provengono entrambe da Takin’ My Time, il disco dell’epoca, oltre ad un altro dei piccoli capolavori del primo periodo della Raitt, Love Has No Pride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbqXMQCq59U , scritta da Eric Kaz e Libby Titus (detto per inciso, prima moglie di Levon Helm, mamma di Amy e poi compagna di Donald Fagen), si conclude con Baby I Love You, un altro bluesazzo tirato che Bonnie ha cantato varie volte con BB King, anche nel disco dei duetti. Mi sa che ancora una volta vi tocca mettere mano ai portafogli!

Quindi Alla Fine “Forse” Ce La Fanno! Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young – CSN&Y 1974

csny74_2-480x274

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – CSN&Y 1974 – 3CD/DVD Rhino 08-07-2014???

Sembra che finalmente siamo in dirittura d’arrivo, c’è una data di uscita presunta, l’8 luglio, un titolo, CSN&Y 1974, l’etichetta Rhino che lo pubblicherà, il divertito pessimismo di David Crosby, che aveva pensato di intitolare il cofanetto “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”, parrebbe essere stato sconfitto. Ci sono anche le prime indicazioni del prezzo che oscilla tra un micidiale 80 euro al cambio in Inghilterra e circa 55 dollari negli Stati Uniti (speriamo più nella seconda ipotesi). Il contenuto, purtroppo, è quello che lo stesso Crosby aveva prospettato: 40 brani sui 3 CD, ma il DVD non conterrà il concerto completo di Wembley del 14 settembre 1974, perché secondo lo stesso David ( e anche nel parere degli altri tre) quella sera il gruppo non era al massimo della forma (ma dal filmato andato in onda ai tempi in televisione e brevemente al cinema, poi in varie edizioni pirata nel corso degli anni, non si direbbe, anche se la qualità sonora e video non è il massimo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_oEmZbtFU8). Quindi il DVD conterrà solo 8 brani, peccato, anche se ci sarà un libretto di ben 180 pagine nella confezione, che sembra essere dello stesso formato di quelle dedicate ai singoli cofanetti di Crosby, Stills e Nash.

Un bel sembrerebbe è d’uopo, perchè la news che era apparsa solo ieri, in alcuni siti è già sparita oggi, quindi quel “Cosa potrebbe andare storto?” ipotizzato da Crosby rimane sempre valido. In effetti un’altra data ipotetica di uscita era stata indicata nel 27 agosto. Però parrebbe (non ho mai usato così tanti condizionali in un Post) che questa volta siamo vicini, visto che la confezione è pronta, c’è anche una track list, questa:

Se non sarà vero comunque non sparirà dal Blog, rimarrà una testimonianza, come quella del finto Sequoia, l’album fasullo creato ai tempi da una rivista italiana http://discoclub.myblog.it/tag/scherzi/

In ogni caso vi terrò informato sui futuri sviluppi.

A Noi Ci Piacciono I Cofanetti. Specialmente Quando Costano Poco! A Settembre Raffica di Ristampe Budget Dei Box Di: Monterey Pop, The Last Waltz, Woodstock 40th Anniversary, Buffalo Springfield e “CSN”.

Tra il 3 e il 30 settembre verranno ripubblicati, in versione budget, alcuni dei cofanetti classici del repertorio Warner/Rhino. E sarà proprio la succursale europea dell’etichetta americana a farlo. meno un titolo che verrà edito dalla Salvo Records e di cui parliamo tra un attimo. Tutte e cinque le uscite dovrebbero avere un prezzo indicativo tra i 25 e i 30 euro e non sempre i formati saranno quelli che vedrete nelle “immaginette” allegate al Post in questione. Il sito della Rhino Uk non riporta ancora le immagini di come saranno i box in queste nuove versioni, anche se il contenuto sarà lo stesso delle edizioni già esistenti, per cui mi sono limitato ad utilizzare quanto già esisteva e di cui sono anch’io felice possessore e non destinato a ulteriori acquisti, ma che mi sento di consigliarvi, in quanto si tratta di materiale imprescindibile per l’amante della buona musica, se già non li annoverate nella vostra collezione.

Per esempio le immagini del cofanetto Woodstock 40: Back To Yasgur’s Farm sono rispettivamente quelle dell’edizione europea ed americana, che avevano due copertine diverse, ma stesso contenuto. Pubblicate nel 2009, per il 40° Anniversario dalla data del Festival americano, sono le versioni definitive ed ampliate a 6 CD. Con un’unica pecca, per problemi con Alvin Lee, non contengono la mitica versione di I’m Going Home dei Ten Years After, che invece era presente nella versione espansa del DVD pubblicata nella stessa occasione. Comunque quello che “resta” è abbondantemente in grado di soddisfarvi:

Sono stati “3 giorni di pace e musica” e quindi, ovviamente, non c’è tutto quello che è stato suonato nell’occasione, ma è una selezione più che degna, se volete qui Setlist, trovate la lista completa dei musicisti e tutti i brani che hanno eseguito in quell’agosto del 1969. La data di uscita è prevista per il 10 settembre.

Sempre il 10 settembre, su Rhino, tornerà disponibile anche la versione completa in 4 CD di The Last Waltz, il famoso concerto del 1976 della Band con una miriade di ospiti. Devo dire che l’edizione che vedete effigiata qui sopra ed uscita nel 2008 si trova ancora in circolazione, ma non so dirvi se sarà la stessa che verrà utilizzata in questa nuova versione. Presumo di no, dovrebbe essere un cofanetto di formato più piccolo, tipo quello che vedete a fine post per CSN.

Notizie Utili Dal Blog! CSN&Y Experience – Un Omaggio A Crosby Stills Nash & Young

Ogni tanto faccio uso privato di Blog pubblico (a little marketta come si suol dire)! Come forse saprete chi vi intrattiene giornalmente, lo fa da Milano ma in questo caso vi parlo di un avvenimento che si tiene a Roma: Stefano Frollano è stato un cliente di questo spazio “virtuale” stefano%20frollano e ne ho parlato più che positivamente anche sul Buscadero. Visto che svolge una meritoria opera di divulgazione della buona musica, quando ho ricevuto questa comunicazione ho deciso di pubblicarla e condividerla con i lettori, sperando che ce ne siano anche al Centro-Sud (ma sono sicuro, la musica, sopratutto se è buona, non ha confini). Quindi se giovedì sera vi trovate a Roma e non avete niente da fare…

CSN&Y Experience – Sulle strade della California

Liverpool, il New Jersey, la California. Per chi ama la musica ci sono luoghi che sono mete di culto, destinazioni oggetto di sogni cullati a lungo. La California. L’oceano e il deserto, le palme di Los Angeles e la baia di San Francisco. Profumi e colori che si mischiano e creano lo sfondo ideale per le canzoni di quattro artisti diversi che con l’intrecciarsi delle loro vite e delle loro carriere hanno segnato la storia del rock. Storicamente caratterizzati da un set acustico e da uno elettrico, i concerti di Crosby Stills Nash & Young alternano morbide ballate e armonie vocali a torridi pezzi rock, che raggiungono il climax nei duelli chitarristici tra Neil Young e Stephen Stills.

Quella formula acustico-elettrico viene riproposta da sei musicisti romani con uno spettacolo che ricrea sul palco le suggestioni West-Coast del leggendario quartetto. Alcuni di loro (Frollano e Lucarelli) hanno toccato da vicino il sogno, cantando con Crosby Stills & Nash al Tendastrisce di Roma e suonando e registrando dischi con alcuni dei musicisti che lavorano con CSNY (sul recente disco di Lucarelli canta Graham Nash). Insieme hanno dato vita alla CSNY Experience, per riproporre con personalità un repertorio che – per una sera – vi farà rivivere un emozionante dejà vu.

(Durante la serata saranno proiettati filmati inediti di Crosby Stills Nash & Young.

CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG
Nati nel 1969, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young furono battezzati i “Beatles americani” e nel giro di qualche mese conquistarono il mondo grazie alle perfette armonie vocali, al loro impegno politico, alla performance incredibile al festival di Woodstock e ai duelli chitarristici sul palco, che vedevano coinvolti Steve Stills e Neil Young. Brani come Teach Your Children, Ohio, Love The One You’re With, Long Time Gone e album come Dejà Vu e Four Way Street hanno segnato un capitolo fondamentale della storia del rock degli anni ’60 e ’70. Negli anni ’80 invece nasce Wooden Nickel, la fanzine italiana dedicata a CSN&Y, i cui realizzatori sono anche gli artefici della CSNY Experience.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Concerts – The 25th Anniversary – Time Life 3 DVD – 2 Blu-ray – 4 CD

Ovviamente arrivano importati dagli States ma in giro si vedono e si trovano. Se, come vi ho detto qualche giorno fa è stato sicuramente il più bel concerto degli anni che vanno dal 2000 al 2009, questo uscito ora è altrettanto certamente il miglior DVD ( o Blu-ray o cofanetto di CD) relativo ad un concerto (anzi due) pubblicato in questo 2010.

D’altronde dove trovate in un DVD (o in altri formati) tutti insieme sullo stesso palco: CROSBY, STILLS & NASH, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, STEVIE WONDER, Smokey Robinson, John Legend, B.B. King, Jeff Beck, PAUL SIMON, David Crosby & Graham Nash, Dion Dimucci, SIMON & GARFUNKEL, ARETHA FRANKLIN, Annie Lennox, METALLICA, Lou Reed, Ozzy Osbourne, Ray Davies, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith & Roy Bittan, Mick Jagger, Fergie & will.i.am, JEFF BECK, Sting, Buddy Guy, Billy Gibbons/ZZTop, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND, Sam Moore, Tom Morello, John Fogerty, Darlene Love, Billy Joel. Ho dimenticato qualcuno? Little Anthony & The Imperials, Jerry Lee Lewis, Black Eyed Peas.

Ma manco a Woodstock si era vista una tale concentrazione di artisti, insieme, da soli o nelle combinazioni più laocoontiche. 51 brani tratti dallo special televisivo della HBO vincitore dell’Emmy Award, più 16 brani non mandati in onda dalla HBO sul DVD o sul Blu-ray per un totale di 5 ore e 30 minuti. “Solo” 54 brani nella versione CD.

E’ veramente Natale! (La fascetta del DVD riporta anche un’offerta che non so se vale anche fuori dagli Stati Uniti, comunque acquistandolo ti regalano 12 numeri della rivista Rolling Stone). Sciambola!

Imperdibile.
