Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - True American Music Alvin Youngblood Hart is a man who has soaked up the essence of American Folk Music in its variety of forms. He has recorded its essence and recreated it for modern ears in Big Mama's Door. Although primarily drawing from the Mississippi Delta, country & western, Appalachian and modern psychedelic influences can be heard. Hart is a gifted song writer, who has a feel for both lyrics and melody. I am particularly fond of the title song and Joe Friday. Both his voice and guitar playing are pleasant to listen to. While the CD is excellent, Hart is also a dynamic performer and can best be appreciated live. Rating: - Phenomenal Blues Tradition I haven't even heard the cd version, only the cassette, once. It immediately struck a nerve as something I'd long been searching for, a modern blues album that you could mistake for one from the twenties or thirties. Hart's virtuoisity recalls that of Son House or Robert Johnson. What really impressed me was the recording style. Recorded raw on 2 tracks instead of polishing the sound with lots of layering. Add it to your collection now! Rating: - HE COULD'VE INVENTED THE GENRE What, first person to review this CD? I guess "TERRITORY" elicited more passionate reactions. Anyway, "Big Mama's Door" is the superior product of Mr. Hart's two phenomenal releases; simply because it is more cohesive, more of an actual album. "Territory" is my favorite, but it also has a few tracks I can't bear to listen to. This one has nary a clunker in the bunch, but it doesn't reach the off-beat, just-go-with-it heights of his sophomore offering. Who out there is Hart's equal is the acoustic/country tradition? I say no one. Long live Alvin Youngblood.
