For this Sunday Music Muse Day, I'm stepping out of my jazz comfort zone, presenting a hit, and miss. The hit being Laurie Anderson Life on a String. I pick up this CD after seeing a segment on PBS News Hour on her latest release Amelia, inspired by Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator lost during a flight attempting to circle the globe. The Amelia CD wasn't at my local Record store, so I picked up Life on a String. I enjoy Laurie Anderson's music. It exists in a category by itself, more performance art, than music. But, worth a listen.
Next, is a miss, Skies Cries Mary Exit at the Axis. This is a second CD I've tried by this "American psychedelic rock/trance musical group from Seattle, Washington, formed in the late 1980s " (Wikipedia) In Truth, I bought both CDs because the title of the band and CD reminds me of Jimi Hendrix song titles. But the band's music doesn't come close to generating the excitement of Hendrix tune. I' ll pass on trying another of their CDs.
That's my quick Sunday Music Muse Day post. Remember to vote BLUE.
