On the Rock $24.99 On the Rock continues along the lines of the more recent Andr?s Calamaro releases, such as El Palacio de las Flores and La Lengua Popular. These albums are nothing more and nothing less than collections of typical Calamaro songs –and by his own standards, they’re fairly restrained at that. As such, they stand equally apart from his genre tributes (the tango album Tinta Roja) or his more daring excesses (the five-CD set El Salm n). In the 12 tracks of On the Rock, Calamaro once again displays his effortless knack for writing pop songs in a variety of styles, indiscriminately picking — and often intertwining — from the musical traditions of Argentina, Mexico, Spain, and the United States, to name the most recurrent ones. Backed by his trusted road band of Candy Caramelo (who also co-produces), Jos? “Ni?o” Bruno, and Diego Garc a, a lot of On the Rock sounds like Calamaro on cruise control, as he revisits or repeats topics, arrangements, and melodies that will seem immediately familiar to Calamaro’s fans. Novelty comes only from the surprisingly substantial number of collaborations, as one-third of the tracks feature guest vocalists. Furthermore, three of these are rather high profile: the exceptional flamenco cantor “El Cigala,” and his guitarist Josuele on the opener “El Barco” (arguably the album’s finest moment), reggaeton rapper Calle 13 adding venom to the bolero “Insoportablente Cruel,” and Spanish rock legend Enrique Bunbury on “Te Solt? la Rienda,” a cover of master of ranchera Jos? Alfredo Jim?nez. The rest of the album includes a pretty good but still not great trademark Calamaro single “Los Divinos,” a moving late-night ballad “Todos se Van,” and a few accelerated numbers that may sound incomprehensible to those unfamiliar with Argentina’s culture, politics, and/or linguistic idiosyncracies. Ultimately, while On the Rock provides another good example of Calamaro’s famous songwriting facility and engaging voice, it lacks the aesthetic focus of his greatest solo achievements such as Alta Suciedad or Nadie Sale Vivo de Aqu . On the Rock was released in several different formats, including vinyl and a bonus-cd edition with alternate versions. As is often the case with Calamaro, however, sometimes less is more. But for a beautiful rendition of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs’ “Vasos Vac os” (previously released in the Cadillacs’ tribute album Vos Sab?s) the extra tracks are largely inessential, if not counterproductive. ~ Mariano Prunes |

Guitars, Bars, and Motown Superstars (Paperback) $32.01 "Guitarist Dennis Coffey was in that elite band of musicians who helped to create the Motown Sound."—Edwin Starr"There can never be enough stories told from the vantage point of Motown`s fabled Snake Pit, from one of the journeyman musicians working behind the scenes. Guitars, Bars, and Motown Superstars also shows just how frenetic and creative the Detroit music scene was in the `60s and `70s. But it`s Dennis Coffey`s personal story that`s most gripping: the journey from Motown, to Billboard`s Top Ten, to working the line at Chevrolet."—Susan Whitall, Detroit News; author of Women of MotownUnder Berry Gordy, Motown was a place where studio musicians usually stood in the shadows, unlike the solo stars whose names appeared on the albums. Gordy held a tight rein on his musicians, forbidding them from playing for other record companies and denying them credit on his records. In Guitars, Bars, and Motown Superstars, author and guitarist Dennis Coffey tells how he slipped Gordy`s draconian rules and went on to success as both a Motown musician and a million-selling solo artist. He offers a fascinating backstage look at the Detroit, L.A., and New York music scenes in the `60s and `70s, with side trips to the smoky clubs and funky studios where the Motown sound was born. Coffey is credited with creating a lot of that sound, including the famous guitar intro to the Temptations` classic "Cloud Nine." He played on hundreds of Motown albums, and introduced such innovations as the Wah Wah pedal into the Motown recording studio.Guitars, Bars, and Motown Superstars is an entertaining and amusing memoir of one of the most dynamic and influential periods in contemporary pop culture, and a unique insight into the ups and downs of the studio guitar-for-hire. It`s also a look at the dizzying rags-to-riches-and-back-again career of a rock musician who went from million-seller with a house in the |
