Fabulous Friday Random 5
Posted on January 20, 2006No introduction needed.
- The Immortal Lee County Killers – Blues | A slow swirling ’60s-ish track from the garage blues group. Reminiscent of early psychedelia.
- Gogol Bordello – 60 Revolutions | Gogol Bordello describe themselves as “gypsy punk”. That is to say, punk sound and ethic, but with a healthy dose of accordion and flamenco rhythms. And a Hungarian lead singer to boot.
- Wyclef Jean – President | Welcome to Haiti: Creole 101 was a side album released on the downlow by Wyclef mixing a lot of Caribbean rhythms with his signature style. This track explores what the most likely repercussions if he were elected president.
- Juanes – Mala Gente | Juanes is a bit unusual for rock en español, while most groups upon hitting success start to suck, he’s maintained his signature skillful guitar playing and Colombian sound. Granted there are increasingly more common ballads on his albums, but he’s still got good rockers like this one.
- David Byrne – Tiny Apocalypse | What can be said about David Byrne other than that Grown Backwards is one of his greatest albums in years. Get it.
That’s it for this week. Good day.
