This excellent album. Made with great gusto, with the participation of many special guests. These include, inter alia, Chris Speed, and which record the same label as Nguyen Le singer Youn Sun Nah. This product is a multicultural, thus escaping any genre classifications. Sam Nguyen Le is an extraordinary artist, guitarist, able to take technically efficient without much contriving and electronics to achieve a unique and recognizable sound. And this is not an easy art. The leader is not only a guitarist, but also highly innovative team leader, able to take a visionary to see and fix musical paintings, which others can not.
In 2002, Le Nguyen recorded an album with songs Jimi Hendrix - Purple - Celebrating Jimi Hendrix ". It was a brave decision. This kind of musical entrainment with goose chase. They work in the music complete and perfect, is better not to upgrade. Le Nguyen musical creativity has made, however, that this seemingly unenforceable task to play in an innovative, not just showy guitar way Jimi Hendrix blues album was excellent.
"Songs Of Freedom" is part of a similar convention, as among the tracks recorded on the disc can be found among other compositions by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Page and Robert Plant. They are also well-known hits from the repertoire of Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton's band Cream.
Nguyen Le is not only a recording musician covers. It is also producing an artist album with his own compositions. Music on "Songs Of Freedom" hardly be called a cover indeed. Here are the compositions source was used only as a pretext to create highly original music. Undoubtedly also served as a kind of better to attract fans to the stores Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and The Beatles. In this case, however music defends itself, is deliciously original and refreshingly modern.
Some of the songs on "Songs Of Freedom" is preceded by a short introdukcjami by the leader. Each of the selected album charts was very creative and unexpected ways processed.
album opens with "Eleanor Rigby" sung by Youn Sun Nah. This arrangement and instrumentation Arabic. "I Wish" Stevie Wonder is a massive attack of percussion instruments as a framework for who envisioned from the beginning a bit careless, but sometimes totally crazy gęstniejących and guitar improvisation.
"Black Dog" from Led Zeppelin's repertoire is a place where Le Nguyen could not forgive himself guitar madness. For this very abstract African vocal Dhafer Youssef. While it can be text in a language they do not recognize ...
"Pastime Paradise" is a good song but not necessarily outstanding Stevie Wonder. In the hands of Le Nguyen experienced a similar metamorphosis, as Maurice Ravel's Bolero once in the hands of Stanley Jordan. There is a bit of everything. There is no chaos, however, it is rather delicious blend of styles. Such a totally cosmic energy intake fulminans.
"Mercedes Benz" sung a cappella by Janis Joplin opinion, the best is Le Nguyen of distorted solo guitar and vibraphone sounds Asian. A seemingly pointless, but anyone who will listen, inevitably it will reflect, so that no one had it not hit. Maybe it is playing in the clubs of Hanoi. I do not know, but in Paris rather not. Another blues Janis Joplin - "Move Over" is a fusion of the predominance of the saxophone in the style of Bob Berg, performed by David Binney.
"Whole Lotta Love," sings a woman ... Can it succeed? Youn Sun Nah's voice is the next leader of the guitar, the dominant instrument. There are also tabla and strangely Processed Vocoder Prabhu Edouard exotic voice.
"Redemption Song" Bob Marley - devoid of the characteristic rhythm of reggae party with just the correct vocal Julia Starr compare to the rest of the songs pale, like "Sunshine Of Your Love" inherent in the guitar sounds of Eric Clapton, from the failure to Nguyen Le escape. On these two tracks a little lacking ideas. Himiko Paganotti vocal is better than Eric Clapton, but it is not a particularly difficult ...
"A Gadda da Vida" - a composition from the repertoire of known Iron Butterfly - somewhat forgotten today, but 1968, when the band released a CD of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was a great hit. In the embodiment Nguyen Le is a platform for the longest guitar improvisation on the album. Overall, the album is astonishingly little guitar. It's not a show of technology and musical creativity. Guitar playing technique is just one of the means of artistic expression.
closes the disc, "Come Together" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney played in Arabic. I'm sure that John he would have liked ...
Is on this album is a hit? I can not choose. This album is a hit in its entirety. It is modern, innovative, creative vision to transform the musical genius and an outstanding guitarist. Nguyen Le is not recording a lot and often, but on his album worth the wait.
