https://thehurstreview.wordpress.com/2010/06/23/the-roots-how-i-got-over
New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. June 23, 2010. The Roots: “How I Got Over”. The Bush years were tough on almost everyone, but The Roots seemed to take it particularly hard. They released a groove-oriented, relatively dance-able album called. In 2004, but since then everything they’ve recorded has been jet-black, fueled by righteous indignation, militant political anger, and a suffocating sense of dread. In 2006, was a revised political manifesto in the Public Enemy model, a. How I Got Over.

New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. November 19, 2010. Over the Rhine: “The Long Surrender”. A new Over the Rhine recording is always a fairly momentous thing in my life, and my enthusiasm for each new release– different as they all are from one another, and across-the-board excellent– has traditionally dictated that I briefly declare each one to be my new Favorite, a title that lingers for a few weeks, perhaps months (I think. Good Dog Bad Dog. Releasing officially in the early weeks of 2011, ...

Lyle Lovett: “Release Me” | The Hurst Review
https://thehurstreview.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/lyle-lovett-release-me
New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. February 29, 2012. Lyle Lovett: “Release Me”. This record is such a good time. Is a mess, but it’s a mighty appealing one. Lovett hasn’t been so loose in a good while. Connects. It’s more or less everything I could want from a Lovett album, and its unassuming nature makes it, funnily enough, one of the most essential things he’s done. Laquo; Previous post. Next post ».

Big Boi: “Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty” | The Hurst Review
https://thehurstreview.wordpress.com/2010/07/10/big-boi-sir-luscious-left-foot-the-son-of-chico-dusty
New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. July 10, 2010. Big Boi: “Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty”. What’s in a name? Sir Luscious Left Foot. Despite a not unimpressive cadre of guest artists and producers, is all Big Boi all the time, a reflection of its auteur’s busy and brilliant mind and an outpouring of his ego, his id, his interior monologues and his carefully-guarded persona. But nor either is it another. The range of ideas here goes far beyond club-ready rumblers– witnes...

New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. February 20, 2012. Ten Favorite Films from 2011. Just in time for Oscar Week. I shan’t bore you with any Academy Award will win/should win talk– though you can make some inferences from my selections here– and I’ll also dispense with commentary about whether I found 2011 year to be a great year or a bum year at the movies. I only know that I really loved all of these ten pictures, and in some cases for wildly different reasons. The Tree of Life. Hot on the Box.

Carolina Chocolate Drops: “Leaving Eden” | The Hurst Review
https://thehurstreview.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/carolina-chocolate-drops-leaving-eden
New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. February 24, 2012. Carolina Chocolate Drops: “Leaving Eden”. Praises are due, of course, to producer Buddy Miller, picking up where Joe Henry left off. Joe’s work laid the necessary foundation, establishing this band’s penchant for country-blues, rustic folk, and Appalachian jigs. The music on. Was tough, drawing the past into the future. The new album likely wouldn’t have been possible without it; that said,. Laquo; Previous post. Next post ». March 1, 2012.

New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. February 15, 2012. 10 for the Desert Island. Have I really been blogging about records for this long without doing a proper Desert Island post? Why, were any of. The question at hand, I reckon my answers would include a handful of Dylans. A smattering of Joe Henrys. Then this is obviously not even close to a comprehensive catalog of the records I love. (And picking the Dylan-in-mono box set would likely be a cheat too extreme, I fear.). The rules well def.

https://thehurstreview.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/esperanza-spalding-radio-music-society
New adventures in listening, with Josh Hurst. March 30, 2012. Esperanza Spalding: “Radio Music Society”. I love something that Esperanza Spalding said not long ago. In an interview with NPR, she said, “The benefit of the radio is, something beyond your realm of knowledge can surprise you, can enter your realm of knowledge.” And isn’t that the truth? The new one is a loving tribute to radio itself– thus,. Give it a chance and this record will expand your moral and musical imagination. Than it does to.
