“A house is a home, even when it’s dark,
Even when the grass is overgrown in the yard …”
“A House Is A Home” – Ben & Ellen Harper [2014]
Ben Harper has previously made records in collaboration with The Blind Boys Of Alabama and Charlie Musselwhite. On his latest, Ben takes the idea of ‘bringing it all back home’ more literally. This time, he’s brought his mum. This week on JR, you’ll hear Ben & Ellen Harper from their just released album, ‘Childhood Home’.
The Harper’s aren’t the only ones in a co-operative mood this week. We also have Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott (formerly of English Pop/Rock band, The Beautiful South), reunited for a new album.
Known for the many (and varied) collaborations in his career, Brian Eno now shares new ideas in Electronica with Underworld singer, Karl Hyde.
And the air of collegiality continues to pervade: On his just released ‘Fly Rasta’ album, Ziggy Marley is joined by veteran Reggae singer, U-Roy while guitar legend, Carlos Santana evokes the spirit of Bob Marley with the help of (wait for it) Ziggy Marley.
The Folk music duo, Luluc was back in Australia three months ago when they toured as support for American Indie band, The National. The former Melbourne duo are now living in Brooklyn, New York and in this edition you’ll hear a preview of their soon to be released second album, ‘Passerby’
Music from decades past continues to reach into the present. And this week in JR you’ll hear the “latest” in ‘50s flavoured Rock ‘n’ Roll from Nick Waterhouse, while ‘60s Soul revivalist, Eli Paperboy Reed shows signs of leaning more toward present day Pop.
When things get “ethereal” this week, you’ll know its music from the new album by Tori Amos. “Selkie” may be the only song about a seal turning into a human that you’ll hear all week.
And in the wake of their recent (and brief) Australian tour, we preview the imminent debut album by emerging UK Electro-Pop band, Glass Animals.
