Truly a classic..........2006-08-09

Years ago when I was living in Brooklyn, a very intriguing fellow would board the train duirng the wee hours, and disembark at the stop before mine. I looked forward to seeing him, dressed in a perfect post-Victorian suit, complete with hat and white spats. Imagine my surprise when I happened upon Nox Nought Nothing and this same fellow was the lead singer of the band.

This album is an impeccable punk classic - and I don't bandy 'impeccable' about lightly. The second you hear the opening bars of "Chelsea", you'll know you're in posession of something special.

You own "Damned Damned Damned"? Excellent. Every Gand of Four recording? Marvelous. You don't own this? Your collection is pathetic. Buy this, cherish it - and tell everyone you have it, much like a badge of honour.

Great, original music!.......2005-11-16

I first heard of this band, through a song quote (of there song "Blown Away Baby") in a book I had read (called "Blue Goblins" by Peter Edmond). I liked the book so much, and was intrigued by the quote, so I came here, and saw the album. Ordered it, and got it weeks ago. I was shocked by how good it was.

Starts off with a song called, "Chelsea" . . . which is one of the best starting songs on an album, I have ever heard. From the start to the last song "Fear in the Night", this band has an original, refreshing sound.

Stiffs, Inc. sounds as if you threw some old 77 Punk Rock in a Blender with some old Vaudvillan music, put a dash of cryptic lyrics with some obscure references and you would have this album.

They also have an original look to them. They look like they all wear thrift store-20's and 30's clothes.

Very interesting. Very original. Highly recommended!

Step 1: find Step 2: listen.......2005-02-05

Obscure to be sure but a very worthwhile band to get to know. Lost the album in the late 90s due to theft and now have found it once again. Unknown and underrated this band deserved better. Classic obscura.

The best band you never heard of........2003-02-27

It is unfortunate that the masses didn't "get it". This is the best punk rock album ever recorded post-1990. If you want to own an undiscovered classic, search out this record on ebay, buy it, and then covet it.

A justly famous first-generation "Der Rosenkavalier"........2003-01-20

As one who heard two of the principals in this famous old recording (Schumann and Olszewska at the end of their careers), I ought perhaps to lead off a discussion and review of this latest of its reissues.

By 1933 it was becoming clear that this most delectable and brilliantly scripted opera was likely to retain a permanent place in the international repertory. EMI's leading producer, Fred Gaisberg, had attended performances in London and Vienna given by a notable cast of singers usually conducted by Bruno Walter, and he commenced planning for a Vienna recording. As with most opera recording projects, however, there needed to be compromises. Firstly, the opera was too lengthy to record and issue on 78s. Secondly, the idea of having Strauss himself conduct it had to be abandoned because he demanded too high a fee. Lehmann's recording contracts allowed her to be included, but neither Bruno Walter as conductor nor Delia Reinhardt as the preferred Octavian could be engaged. Ultimately the project went ahead and an abridged version of the opera, reduced to about half its total duration, was recorded and released on thirteen 78s.

In 1951, on BBC radio, I heard Elisabeth Schumann play the recording of the final duet in this opera. She introduced it as follows: "I must let you into a little secret concerning this record. When we were making these records in Vienna Lotte Lehmann forgot two notes she had to sing. You may recall that just before the final duet Sophie's father remarks to the Marschallin how amazing young people are and the Marschallin replies, 'Ja, ja'. With the trio over, Lotte Lehmann thought her part in the recording was over and retired to her country house near Vienna. There were too many complications involved in getting Miss Lehmann back and so I sang the two words 'Ja, ja'. You must admit I did it very well." Subsequent research has revealed that the final duet was in fact the first item of the project to be recorded, on the first morning of the schedule, and that Lotte Lehmann had not yet arrived. Nevertheless Schumann did substitute for her great friend and colleague and the "take" was approved immediately.

Seventy years later, this splendid Mark Obert-Thorn reissue allows this recording to be heard with greater ease and clarity than ever before. Even so, listeners must bear in mind that recording techniques of the 1930s were barely adequate for capturing the richness of the orchestral score or the intricate vocal textures of the many trios and duets. Singing styles, moreover, differ from today's: both Richard Mayr and Elisabeth Schumann lay the portamento on very thickly. It is, nevertheless, a justly famous cast and one that became closely associated with the opera almost (but not quite) from the time of its 1911 premiere.

Lehmann's Marschallin meets all the requirements of the part. Womanly, wise, accepting of disappointment and generous in her nobility, this Marschallin commands attention throughout. Having exactly the kind of silvery voice and enchanting personality that match the role of Sophie, Elisabeth Schumann makes Sophie a more dominant character than is often the case. How well she depicts girlishness after acknowledging the presentation of the silver rose ("I am looking forward to being married? Are you looking forward too?", and how well she ticks off Baron Ochs in the final act ( "I've done and finished with you")! Happily, almost all Sophie's music was retained in this abridged recording. Maria Olszewska's Octavian is perhaps more impressive for purely vocal richness than for character insights. Richard Mayr, Viennese born and bred, created the part of Baron Ochs at the opera's Vienna premiere in 1911 and remained its most celebrated exponent until the time of his death not long after this recording was made. Much of his part of the opera is omitted in this recording but enough remains to show his fluency in the Viennese accent and some highly musical clowning.

Both Lehmann and Mayr are represented in individual extracts from this opera, which Naxos provide as an appendix to this recording.

Firecracker.......2007-03-08

Don Nix's "I Don't Want No Trouble!" is a delightful return to form. On the small Section Eight Productions label, you may have to hunt; but it'll be worth it. "One Step Ahead of the Blues" is a low-down explosive rocker that lifts the roof off. Recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, "Memphis Man" is a fitting homage, "I'm a simple man with a simple plan, rock & roll, rhythm & blues." "Let the Wind Blow" builds on a slashing electric riff from Billy Crane (I think) that makes you want to roll down the windows & put the pedal to the metal. "Just About Had It" is stop-start boogie that sets your toe in motion. "Subject to Change" is a good track that rocks, "When you stop believin' there's no way that she'll be leavin', everything is subject to change." "Crazy from the Heat" has a 50s vibe and puts a retro smile on your face, "I'm crazy from the heat of your love." My very favorite track is "Addicted to You." Nix sets a catchy groove that grabs you & shakes you out of the chair, "I had the pills; I had the thrills; I threw the party & I paid the bills." The set ends with an uncharacteristic Southern gospel track, "I'm getting on board; I'm walkin' up the plank; I got the Lord to thank." The opener "Hole in the Sky" is a fine track with burning electric lead and Nix's passionate vocals, "I don't know the reason why so many people had to die, now we're fighting hand to hand, trying to save the promised land, hole in the sky, fire in the ground, smoke rising up & people falling down on their knees praying to the Lord above." Nix dedicates the set to bluesman Furry Lewis pictured with him on the inside cover & on the handwritten sign from above Lewis' bed, "Please Lord, help me keep my dam nose out of other people business." This is a firecracker set with at least 5 classic tracks, not to be missed. Bravo!

KILLER FROM MEMPHIS.......2006-11-17

It's an amazing and wonderful thing to find an album/cd that has honesty and guts like Mr Nix's latest . It's Rumored that Don Nix was hurting more than Johnny Cash during these sessions.Listen carefully to "ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE BLUE"S" Fortunately for us, pain makes for great albums/cd's . This is a must for all Music lover's. Hanging out with George Harrison in the Studio and playing live at Madison Square Garden with him makes this Artist even richer in his sound : Don Nix just may have shown George a Memphis groove or two! Purchase this CD without concern it's another Killer from Memphis Tennessee .

Not far-out...just slightly bent.......2001-08-14

This CD remains Bern Nix's only recording to date as a leader: he's best known as one of the guitarists with the original edition of Ornette's Prime Time band, & the discography provided in the liner notes here reveals he's recorded a few times elsewhere with Jayne Cortez, Julius Hemphill & Ronald Shannon Jackson. It's a mystery why Nix hasn't been recorded more often: this disc is a first-rate guitar trio session, revealing among other things an excellent composer.

Nix's sound is absolutely straightahead--a clean jazz guitar tone without any fuzz or rock influence. His approach is entirely tonal, but within the outlines defined by Coleman's concept of "harmolodics"--Nix's effort to explain this famously nebulous concept in the liner notes isn't much more comprehensible than Coleman's own, but its main point is clear enough: "All players are simultaneously soloists, as well as accompanists. The idea is to create spontaneous music that is compositional, as well as orchestral in scope." That last phrase throws me (orchestral??) but the rest describes quite well the feel of the music: the music isn't a cyclic expression of an underlying chord structure, but relies on a continuously evolving polyphony which means that each improvisation is, so to speak, spontaneously through-composed. The music delicately & almost seamlessly negotiates between the options offered by conventional jazz, modal jazz & free playing.

This is to make heavy weather of a very approachable recording. The playing touches on all the conventional genres of mainstream guitar jazz--the blues, bop, the ballad, even the standard "Just Friends"--& leaves everything sounding fresh & unhackneyed. The great Fred Hopkins is an essential part of the music--listen to his swinging bass on the mordant, funky "Let's Don't" (Nix in the liner notes comments that it's "my postmodern reply to Cole Porter's 'Let's Do It' in this age of latex"). The fine drummer Newman Baker gets a well-deserved feature on "Acuity". The disc ends fittingly on the two most "out" numbers, "Driving Sideways Backwards" & "Boundaries": by this time the listener's ears have been entirely drawn into Nix's logical but unpredictable sound-world.

A little classic of the 1990s, & an album that should be picked up by anyone interested in free jazz on guitar. The disc makes for an interesting juxtaposition with the recordings of two other guitarists who've tackled Coleman's approach, James Blood Ulmer & Pat Metheny. I think it's just as strong as their work.

A Harmolodic Genious.......2000-05-07

This CD is the best guitar trio record if not the best guitar feature record I have ever listened to. Bern Nix, a gifted genious of harmony has not failed us from his days with Ornette Coleman's Prime Time ensemble. His originals: "Z Jam Blues", "Accuity" and his rendition of "Just Friends" were my favorites. This rhythm section featuring the late, great and honorable Fred Hopkins on Bass, and Newman Baker on drums, is an as-one power unit. Their drive changes from subtlety and textural to a hard driving harmolodic fiery dance. This CD is a 5 star without a doubt. When will he put another one out?

Great Freshman Release.......2005-10-26

Holland Nix, a Nashville artist, does not fit into any cookie-cutter musician stereotype. Earthy voice, earthy look, pure style... This CD is a stripped-down production in the sense that it's not over-produced as so many rock/pop projects are today. Holland's vocal delivery is honest - you will find yourself listening to the lyrics, as you should, instead of having them get lost in the over-use of a lead guitar. My favorite cut is the Airplane Song. I travel a lot and it's hilarious how she expresses every traveler's lament. Don't buy this record if you're looking for a shiny record label symbol of "music". Buy this if you are looking for an awesome journey through poignant lyrics delivered by an honest, if not sometimes awesomely imperfect, voice.

100% Cotton.......2001-06-28

If you want real music, then look no further. You just found it!

The Holland Nix, 100% Cotton album is full of earthy, rock and rythm n blues, and folk and pop music, coupled with lyrics that lend themselves to love, sarcasm, fear and even a little comedy....all of which happens without trying too hard - without trying to be anything but just music, real music.

This singer, songwriter makes her own place in the world by taking what we all love about many genres of music, and molding them together to make her own style. Whether its the jammin' classic rock sound of 'The Airplane Song' or the stripped down acoustic offering of 'Not Around', you're going to find something on this album that you love - and you'll wonder how your CD player ever functioned before the arrival of this well rounded independent release.

It's now a 'must include' in my "shuffler", just like my favorite tshirt is in my suitcase for the next trip....both are 100% Cotton, and both are my favorite! My suggestion to you is that you slip in to your own 100% Cotton - it wears like no other album!

An Independent Woman.......2001-05-13

A mix of rage and sentiment Holland Nix's "100% Cotton" rocks you at the same time that it moves you. The opening chords of "You", the first track, are yearning at the same that they portray a sense of disdain, bringing you into direct contact with the powerful talents of this truly independent woman - (Destiny's Child take note). The entire album is as pure and honest as its title would lead you to believe.

A mix of Aimee Mann's lyricism, Alanis Morisette's pop sensibility, a voice and lyrics that echo the underrated Jennifer Trynin, and Hole's attitude Holland's delivery and composition at times echoes the Heavy Metal roots of the Wilson Sister's from Heart. The producing/writing team of Nix and her fellow guitarist - Derek Wilkinson - mixes these elements into a varied and heartfelt listening experience.

Unlike her Lilith Fair sisters or other songstresses in this over produced day and age, Holland's album never becomes too sentimental and completely avoids the blips and computer generated whirrs that Nix's contemporaries have come to depend on as a matter of post-millennial course. The albums 4th track "Tall Ships" has a bar room grittiness and sing along bravado that keeps the listener in the delicate balance between a bad night of drinking and a good buzz.

The spoken word punkiness of "The Airplane Song" is backed by driving guitar power chords and makes you understand the kind of rage that drove REM's Peter Buck to cause "criminal damage" at 30,000 feet. More importantly it shows Nix's ability to use humor to describe an experience as simple and universal as a weekend flight. Her kitten with a whip delivery of lyrics like "I'm the frequent flyer/that never gets any miles/They make you stay over a Saturday/And wave bye-bye with a smile" portrays the inhuman inanity of the situation with an irony that expertly avoids being too self-conscious.

The album slows things down with "Muse" bringing Nix's delivery to classic rock ballad form - mournful guitar solo and all. On "Go Away" Nix manages to bring lightness to her voice as she shames the song's subject into leaving - it is quite obvious he is not nearly cool enough to be in her presence.

"Orion", one of my favorite tracks on the album, rambles along and interjects a stop and start jumpiness as Nix becomes the victim instead of the victor. The lyrics find Nix becoming the wind beneath someone else's wings - a position she is obviously not meant for.

The final track - "Not Around" - introduces a softer side of Nix - her voice brought to full emotional richness as she comes to terms with the weakness of a lover she has obviously poured too much of herself into. Don't worry - Nix does not lose herself completely as "At last/you have let me down" quickly becomes "At last/you have let you down". Her softness is matched by the bareness of her acoustic accompaniment giving her full singer/songwriter credibility.

Holland Nix's "100% Cotton" wears like your favorite sweatshirt made of the same material. It brings a fresh voice to a weary music scene and makes you remember a time when music was independent and natural. I highly recommend you try her debut album on for size.
