Product Description
From Amazon.com
Once again a Canadian perspective helps to bring out the best in American roots music. Like the Band, these three women of the Great North have taken the traditional sounds of their southern neighbor and made them uniquely their own. They inflect the acoustic intimacy of public domain tunes like "Reuben" and "In My Time of Dying," modern classics like Townes Van Zandt's "Waiting Around to Die," and Peter Rowan's "Midnight Moonlight," and their own songs with only the best and most appropriate elements of their punk, trip-hop, and Motown influences. As in the work of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, you have to listen closely to hear how Frazey Ford, Samantha Parton, and Trish Klein veer off from the past into the future: a soulful melisma wrapped in Ford's whisper, a hint of a funk groove in their arrangement of "House of the Rising Sun," Klein's electric guitar peeking out between her banjo and harmonica. Chinatown taps into the quiet power found on the back porches of what Greil Marcus called "old weird America," and with nary a musical misstep, qualifies as a masterpiece. --Michael Ross
Chronique amazon.fr
Formés à Vancouver au Canada en 1999, The Be Good Tanyas avaient créé la surprise outre-Atlantique avec leur premier opus, Blue Horse, paru en 2001. Pour ce deuxième album, Samantha Parton, Frazey Ford et Trish Klein demeurent fidèles à leur démarche musicale, qui consiste à marier folk, country et blues à coups de fingerpicking et d'harmonies vocales du meilleur effet. Il n'y a là aucun titre composé avec le but affiché de conquérir les plus hautes places des hit-parades – et c'est tant mieux. De "It's Not Happening" à "Midnight Monnlight", en passant par "House Of The Risin' Sun", les quatorze chansons agissent telle une introspection mélancolique et apaisent les brûlures intérieures. Chinatown est une très belle réussite que l’on peut rattacher au courant Americana. Un album qui vaut au trio canadien de se situer quelque part entre Gillian Welch et Tom McCrae. --Philippe Margotin

5.0 out of 5 stars
These ladies have soul,
By ashley olsen (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinatown (Audio CD)
It is rare to hear soul anymore, I've realized. There are plenty of people out there with their hearts on their sleeves and we all have one tragic story to tell or another but rarely can something actually do justice to our experience. This album has a richness of texture and...forgive me...a heart...that is startling. These ladies have soul. And they embody it beautifully. I suppose one can only hope that somebody 'out there' in music industry land is actually hearing this and will wake up and mercifully put an end to the tyranny of 'Pop Stars'. After the revolution Christina Aguilera will be nothing more than a terrible dream.
