MP3 Big Rude Jake - Live Faust, Die Jung
12 MP3 Songs
BLUES: Funky Blues, JAZZ: Jazz-Pop
Details:
This album was born the night Jake left the Big Apple.
The story goes that, while living in Brooklyn, Jake re-discovered the Velvet Underground and the various solo albums Lou Reed made in the Seventies. While packing up is belongings to move back to Toronto, Jake put a few old discs on the turntable to give him some energy while he worked. Mostly, he was playing the famous “Transformer” album, produced for Lou Reed by David Bowie. Jake began to muse that many of those old Lou reed Songs have chord progressions that are not unlike the progressions that Marvin Gaye was using around the same time all the way over in Detroit. These musings led to this album: a sort of Lo-Fi Seventies pop CD that imagines an alternative universe where Lou Reed Grew up in Detroit rather then Queens.
A note to all hard-core Big Rude Jake Fans: This CD is a big departure. The lyrics are still evocative and compelling, like previous albums. However, the music is not swing, or traditional jazz in its core.
Sample a few songs and enjoy!.
