SET: 01
Phoebe
Bridgers opens the first set with “Funeral” taken from her 2017 album “Stranger
in the Alps”.
Funeral
is a very emotive and powerful song about a teen having to deal with the
reality of death while also dealing with her own depression. The lyrics are
real and connect on a level that most of can identify with…Truly, A very hard
hitting song of life that breaks down the emotional defenses due to its realism
and shared experience.
Kane
Miller from Lakefield, Ontario, Canada follows with his Aug 31st
2018 single “All We Need”. A light acoustic song with harmonic vocal blends
that express the deep feelings of trying to hold onto a relationship that is
drifting in a different direction. A song that would have no problem fitting in
with Jim Croce and James Taylor. Big thumbs up to Kane Miller.
Peter
Case follows with “Ain’t Gonna Worry No More” taken from his 2007 album “Let Us
All Praise Sleepy John”. “Ain’t Gonna Worry No More” brings visualization and
understanding to a time in history seen through the eyes of the artist as life
and events are conveyed through exceptional lyrics and a comforting acoustic safety
blanket…a truth tellers tune that engages the listener from the first note…one
can almost see the engaged audience silently reflecting around a camp fire…
JD
McPherson closes the set with “Precious” taken from his 2015 Album “Let the
Good Times Roll”. A song about love and the overwhelming grace of its healing
powers. The Magic of “The Platters”, “Sam Cooke” and “The Drifters” come racing
back, when I hear this amazing retro 50’s song. It is powerful tune that’s soulfully
engaging…it’s hard not to sing along to a song as good as this.
And
so, a set of very real and emotionally impacting music coming at you, on the
Minstral show.
SET: 02
David
Bowie opens the second set with “Lazarus” taken from his January 2016 album
“Black Star”. I have to admit, I grieved for 3 days after David Bowie passed
away and like all his fans, I never knew the pain that he went through as a
Star which he revealed through the videos he made for the album…”Lazarus” in
particular shows us what was going through David Bowie’s mind before he died. He
was a creative genius right up to his death as the Video for the song attests. Simply
brilliant and sobering at the same time.
Roger
Waters follows with three songs from his 2017 album “Is this the Life We Really
Want”. I believe the songs are meant to be played together starting with “Wait
for Her”, then “Oceans Apart” and ending with “Part of Me Died” The songs are
poetically expressive and telling of a persons respect for life and then the
grief and anger one feels at a world gone insane forgetting its commitment to
morality where one cannot go back to sleep once awake to the lies that were
sold by evil beings. Roger Waters is a true artist and poet with a voice for
the voiceless…
Marqui
Adora closes the set with “Away” taken from their 2006 album “White Buildings”.
“Away”
Seeks to find an answer or a way to end the dark clouds that hang over us when
facing difficult times…we call out to consciousness to help us.
And
so, David Bowie, Roger Waters and Marqui Adora help us to connect the dots in
what really matters, on the Minstral show.
SET: 03
Continuing
on the theme from the last set, David Crosby opens the final set with
“Dangerous Night” taken from his 2014 album “Croz”. We truly live in dangerous
times with a world turned upside down for profit and so “Dangerous Night”
expresses our collective thoughts, anguish and worries on the issues we face
when seeing the nightmares we have awakened to.
John
Lodge follows with “Get Me Out of Here” taken from his 2017 live album “The 10,000
light years Tour”. The song is about being aware of loosing love while facing ones
fears in an uncertain future. An excellent solo effort by the Moody Blues icon
John Lodge. Incidentally, John is touring North America in October 2018 so be
sure to check out his website for more details.
The
king of rockin blues, Joe Bonamassa follows with the title track to his Sept
2018 album “Redemption”. Joe’s new album is truly one of his finest to date and
that’s, saying a lot. If you subscribe to his website and youtube channel,
you’ll be privy to lot’s of great music in what is a good solid active music channel.
About
the song, well, Many of us have been there, Down and out and looking for
redemption. An excellent rockin blues tune by the master, Joe Bonamassa.
Great
Lake swimmers close the set with “Visions of a Different World” taken from
their Sept. 03rd 2018 album “The Waves, The Wake”. Anthony Dekker creates a
harmonic vocal masterpiece to express his vision and hope for a different
world”. A very soothing song done without instruments…when we listen to the
universe, empathic melodic thoughts form in harmony to gently touch the soul…and
bring peace of mind…that is “Visions of a Different World”.
