02 Feb 2013 @ 08:02PM / Throwbacks: The Court Yard Hounds
Hey, remember that time those two girls from the Dixie Chicks semi-randomly started their own band?
And they called it the Courtyard Hounds?
And then they put out an album?
Well, I just came across a track on it and remembered how much I loved it.
Here it is, in all it’s alt-country/folky goodness.
Magic stuff from Emily Erwin and Marty Maguire.
Bonnie Raitt | Slipstream Album Review
Bonnie Raitt.
Slipstream.
GET THIS ALBUM.
Some are calling this her best record in years. Possibly her best ever. And that ain’t a lie. This is a sold piece of work.
Slipstream’s got a certain Nostalgia that’s hard to pull off. It’s bluesy, and funky and retro, but somehow current. In an effort that could have come across as dated, Raitt dodges that bullet and makes it work. Beautifully, I might add.
Vocally, she’s got this stirring authenticity in her voice. It’s mature but not weathered, and in a way, fresh. It’s really unmistakable, and undoubtedly the thing that has kept her fans coming back, year after year.
(Not bad for 63 years old)
Musically, this things got some really nice diversity. While it is, certainly, a blues album, she’s not afraid to step outside of the box, pulling in some interesting beats and instrument combinations. It makes for some really cool effects, specifically in the debut track, “Right Down the Line.” Which is killer.
And really, the whole thing really is killer.
There’s a lot that should be said, but I’ll just leave it at this:
Strong tracks, strong vocals, strong lyrics, strong everything.
You’ve just gotta hear it for yourself.
Kick back, crank up the volume, and step into the Slipstream, Y’all.
Standout tracks include:
Right Down the Line, Not Cause I wanted To, You Can’t Fail Me Now, and Marriage Made in Hollywood.
