Joe Henry: Civilians

Joe Henry

Joe Henry has been making records for years. His new album Civilians is a rather bleak one. The twelve songs were recorded and mixed in his home studio with Van Dyke Parks playing piano on two tracks. As a long time producer (Ani DiFranco, Aimee Mann, Billy Preston, Bettye LaVette, Allen Toussaint, Elvis Costello, Solomon Burke) Henry has access to kick ass players who lend in hand in the creation of the album. Bill Frisell, Patrick Warren, Greg Leisz and Jay Bellerose provide a loosely played backing for Henry's lyrics.

There are politics on this album (Our Song and Civil War) and despite Henry's claim that felt quite secure when made the album, he has kept his eyes open for the shit that is going on.

Joe Henry: Civilians

Civilians is released on Anti- Records. Release date: September 10 (Europe), September 11 (USA).

Patti Smith: the JamBase.com interview

Patti Smith

JamBase.com sat down with Patti Smith:

The people that I listened to when I was young I still listen to - John Coltrane, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix. But, I always also loved opera. A lot of different music inspired me. I also had a love for r&b music. I think in terms of rock & roll, consistently it has been about Hendrix. I also loved dancing to the Rolling Stones and rock & roll is part of my life. The way I have been influenced is that there is certain music that will make you happy or can fulfill you emotionally. I have always learned from John Coltrane and continue to learn from Bob Dylan.

MP3: Patti Smith - Helpless
(live at the The Hiro Ballroom, NYC, NY, USA - 2007/04/18)
