 Kenny Lee Lewis
CD Review from
 Vintage Guitar Magazine!

2009

 Kenny Lee Lewis New Vintage -
If you know Kenny Lee Lewis only as Steve Millers co-guitarist, youre in for a surprise with New Vintage. Dancing between funk and smooth jazz, the closest this disc gets to rock is a cover of the Average White Bands Pick Up the Pieces, and even that is more jazz/funk. if you need proof Lewis has the chops, Conquistador gives it, alight funk with lovely changes that are the perfect bed for its 70s/George-Benson influence, And his lightening-fast runs mix with nice chorcLal work and carefully placed octaves, Cover tunes populate most of the record. Stevie Wonders Creepin shows Lewis & harmonic skills, while his take on Valdez In the Country is fairly standard, but again shows his skills. The record closes with If! Only Had a Brain, where he plays a gorgeous chord intro that gives way to the melody played in octaves. And when he solos, its imaginative and gorgeous. (JH)

 The Hammers CD Review from Dirty Linen Magazine!

November/December '09 #144

 The Hammers From Distant Shores: Irish Music from Canada [New Folk NFR 1502 (2009)] Paul and Susan Hammer have been learning, playing, and teaching Irish music in the Canadian province of Manitoba for a number of years.  Though they have each also studied in Ireland, the traditional music they offer through the 14 sets here maintains a slight touch of the north and of the open plains to go along with their trueness of tradition.  The tunes, which the pair mainly learned from recordings, come from musicians all across Irish tradition and geography, ranging from Fintan Vallely to Mary Bergin to the Mulcahy Family to John and Sean Doyle.  This is an all-instrumental album:  Paul plays mandolin, guitar, and banjo, and Susan Plays concertina, whistles, and bodhrán.  Notable cuts include "The Stone in the Field" set of jigs, the slow air "from Distant Shores," and the set of reels that begins with "Rainy Day."  (KD)

 The HiBs CD Review from Dirty Linen Magazine!

November/December '09 #144

 The HiBs 40 Acre Notch [New Folk NFR 1627 (2008)] Fiddler Jode Dowling and flautist Kate Dowling come out of the seisiun and ceilidh scene of Minneapolis. This pedigree insures that you are going to get real traditional Irish music here, with no messing about with electronics, African drums, or other crossover nonsense. This is a marvelous album for any would-be player, as it includes examples of every dance style in the Irish lexicon, including slides and barndances, played at reasonable pace and without excessive ornamentation. The Dowlings play a couple of widely known tunes - "Julia Delaney's," "Star of Munster" - but many of these have been passed to them by fellow players and session tapes, and so have the superiority of a good book from a friend over a title picked from the bestseller list. That is, you feel let in on something. (BC)
