Music, the Brain & Ecstasy : How
Music Captures Our Imagination by
Robert Jourdain What is
music? How and why does it affect us? What is the nature
of musical genius? Author/composer Robert Jourdain
explores these and other questions, from the essential
nature of sound through composition, performance, and,
finally, the nature of ecstasy. His prose is eminently
readable, offering a very accessible account of a
difficult subject to the general reader as well as to the
musical sophisticate. This is a fascinating and
intriguing book, written by someone who clearly knows his
subject. ~ Amazon.com ~
Drawn
from Rounder's rich catalog, the 19-cut sampler of female
singing, fiddling, and picking extends from an era when
women were a novelty in this male-dominated music
category through the popular crossover ascendance of such
contemporary artists (and O Brother
favorites) as Alison Krauss and the Cox Family. Harmonies
from the likes of Rhonda Vincent and the Stevens sisters
soar toward the heavens, while the earthier strains of
Hazel Dickens and Ginny Hawker are more reflective of the
music's hardscrabble roots. Though Wilma Lee Cooper's
"You Tried to Ruin My Name" has all the
subtlety of a hog-calling contest, such rawness is about
as real as this music gets.
