Michael Nesmith - Rays

Michael Nesmith - Rays - 2006

A cinematic journey of sound with elements of swing, jazz and instrumental funk that come together to form what Michael Nesmith calls "New Century Modern". “For a time I thought Rays had come together differently than any other project I had worked on, until it dawned on me all the various works I had been involved in had happened the same way and doing Rays was simply the first time I had seen it. Rays was my own personal Copernican Shift. 

For years Rays laid around in bits and pieces, and there were long periods when I would put them all away, like disparate parts of disparate building blocks. As if one was a recipe, another was a blueprint, another was a map. I couldn’t see how they fit together. I kept going, as much for not having anything else to do as for the curiosity of how it would all turn out, but I did keep going, and I’m glad I did. It was when I was putting on the horn parts, dreaming of Memphis and Stax Volt that it all came together. It was as if I had come into the garage one evening, and was looking at the detritus of a failed effort laying all over the floor, when suddenly there was this array, a kind! of order to it that I had never imagined. 

That was exciting. It felt new, and gave me the inspiration I needed to finish. This after four years of wandering in darkness --- which actually happened to be one of the lines from Rays. I had always imagined “emergence” as the gradual appearing of something that already exists but was just unseen. Rays was the first time I ever actually saw that happen. And now that I’ve seen it I am aware that all the past works have happened the same way.”

William Souffreau - In My Room

William Souffreau - In My Room - 1994

from billybop

We all know BlinkIt the Belgian Rockabilly Band and some of Us might know Irish Coffee the Belgian hard Rock band from the 7t’s. And yes the man that connects those two bands is undoubtedly William Soffreau. Although the first Blinkit Cd was somehow disappointing, this blues album by William Souffreau isn’t disappointing at all. The Cd is dating from 1994 already & I picked it up some weeks ago in the bargain bins of my favorite record shop. Can you believe it only for 1 € (NB: in Amazon for "only" $20.95 used) .

In My room is a very good solo album by Souffreau & he gets the help from some very famous Belgian musicians. On this album you find people like Phillipe Catherine (Jazz guitarist, worked with Marc Moulin, Charles Mingus,Stephane Grapelli,…) Wigbert Van Lierde (aka Wigbert) and ofcourse the ever present Luc De Clus (Irish Coffee & now also in BlinkIt)

01. Broken Heart
02. Gimme Some Lovin'
03. I Got Love
04. Little Town Girl
05. Show Me
06. Need You
07. Mister Taxman
08. The Right Way
09. Highway To The Moon
10. Suburban Road
11. Walk Into My Room
12. Wait For The Sun
13. Masterpiece
