Music reviews of Chinatown
Music Review: Wish Jolie Holland was singing with this band
Rating: 4 Stars
Jolie Holland guests as a musician on this CD from 2007. While the lead singer is a woman with great timing and an unusual voice, Jolie could have taken the traditional arrangements, put her unique spin and otherworldly vocal phrasings with it, and created a truly outstanding product. I would like to see Jolie reunite with this group and forsake her current path of mediocre quasi-folk miscues. The Be Good Tanyas coupled with that homemade fiddle of Holland's and some really old-time traditional songs would do it for me.
Description of Chinatown
Once again a Canadian perspective helps to bring out the best in American roots music. Like the Band, these three women of the Great North have taken the traditional sounds of their southern neighbor and made them uniquely their own. They inflect the acoustic intimacy of public domain tunes like "Reuben" and "In My Time of Dying," modern classics like Townes Van Zandt's "Waiting Around to Die," and Peter Rowan's "Midnight Moonlight," and their own songs with only the best and most appropriate elements of their punk, trip-hop, and Motown influences. As in the work of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, you have to listen closely to hear how Frazey Ford, Samantha Parton, and Trish Klein veer off from the past into the future: a soulful melisma wrapped in Ford's whisper, a hint of a funk groove in their arrangement of "House of the Rising Sun," Klein's electric guitar peeking out between her banjo and harmonica. Chinatown taps into the quiet power found on the back porches of what Greil Marcus called "old weird America," and with nary a musical misstep, qualifies as a masterpiece. --Michael RossGeneral CDs
