Musical Odyssey — Joe Henry brings acoustic ‘Reverie’ to town

2012-01-25T21:20:00.000-08:00

Joe Henry is an intensely perceptive American singer-songwriter whose records are like black-and-white films with bright characters.

The subtitles are composed from the colors around us.

On the side he has produced and mentored important American artists, who, in many cases, have slipped beneath the starry shadows of pop culture: Solomon Burke, Betty LaVette’s breakthrough album, the Carolina Chocolate Drops (their 2010 Grammy winning “Genuine Negro Jig”), Mavis Staples (the “I Believe in My Soul” compilation) and many others.

Henry, 51, carries the sound of an heirloom metronome in a modern high-rise. He is inspired by his position between time and place, which is why his visit to Chicago to promote his latest album “Reverie” (ANTI) should not be missed. Henry and his studio band launch a three-city tour at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 27 at the Old Town School of Folk Music.

“Reverie” is an all-acoustic project Henry recorded about a year ago in his basement studio. The bass, drums, piano and Henry’s voice and guitar touch on the longing tones of folk-gospel in “Odetta,” and blues-tango in “Sticks and Stones,” reminiscent of “Stop,” his ballad that his wife Melanie Ciccone passed along to her sister Madonna — which she re-did in 2000 as “Don’t Tell Me.” But time waits

You're a good soldier

Choosing your battles

Pick yourself up

And dust yourself off

And back in the saddle

You're on the frontline

Everyone's watching

You know it's serious

We're getting closer

This isnt over

The pressure is on

You feel it

But you've got it all

Believe it

When you fall get up

Oh oh...

And if you fall get up

Oh oh...

Their Expectations

This is your moment

No hesitations

Today's your day

I feel it

You paved the way

Believe it

If you get down

Get up Oh oh...

When you get down

Get up eh eh...

Chaka Khan & Grace Jones Rock the Runway in Paris

2012-01-25T01:51:00.000-08:00

A little lingerie label stole the show at Paris Fashion Week on Monday, and all it took was a dramatic show of diva performance.

Etam, famed for their aptitude to shock, showcased their new Spring / Summer 2012 compilation at the Beaux-Arts de Paris in an explosion of disco glory. The undergarment label enlisted the dazzling skills of Grace Jones, Chaka Khan, Gloria Gaynor, Sister Sledge, and the Pointer Sisters to model looks and perform on the runway.

These soul divas lit up the catwalk in true Studio 54 fashion perfectly accentuating the '70s-inspired collection. For the grand finale, all the singers got onstage and performed "We Are Family," as the queens of groove posed with snakes and poodles, both of which actually did make appearances inside New York City's original Studio 54 back in the days of disco. Snakes and poodles and Chaka Khan, oh my!

As many as 21 top-notch music artists, including singers Sonu Niigaam, Shankar Mahadevan and Sunidhi Chauhan and musicians like Amaan Ali and Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, have lent their voice and hand for a new rendition of India`s national song ‘Vande mataram’.

"My version of `Vande Mataram` is introspective and philosophical. It is the national song woven into a new melody 64 years after independence.

Apart from Niigaam, Mahadevan and Chauhan, the new rendition has singers Shaan, Shubha Mudgal, Roop Kumar Rathod, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Ustad Rashid Khan, Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty, Kaushiki Desikan, Manoj Tiwari, Palash Sen, and popular band Indian Ocean.
