mous gift from Cobain and

Kateil Keinig —- 0 Seasons O
Castles, Elektra 1994

This debut release from Keinig, a
soulful Welsh singer (now based in
Dublin), foreshadows a promising
career. The material combines ele-
ments of Celtic folk with a dash of
blue jazz. Musica! arrangements
range from the ultimate in simplicity,
a capella vocal, to cornplete band
backing.

Her art is lyric-driven yet she
wisely disdains introspective naval
gazing. The word journeys are rich
with detail. Take this snippet from a
track called Paris: “9 p.m. May Day,
Paris, | wander by the cavalry, past
the bereted bodyguards, they shine
like lamibs and smile at me.”

In spirit, the music lifts one to an
ethereal plane, leading the listener
away from the here and now.

She’s already developed a fol-
lowing in Britain and Ireland.

A North American tour will send
her owr way Nov. 29 for a
Vancouver date (venue undisclosed).
Robbie Robertson & The Red
Road Ensemble -— Music For The
Native Americans, Capitol Records
1994

Of all his output over recent
years, this disc is a must-have.

The challenge at hand, to produce
a soundtrack with which to accom-
pany visuals, has resulted in a fmuit-
ful exploration of sound textures.
The common thread is the First
Nations spirit.

At his most experimenially play-
ful, Robertson works with his many
guest musicians to venture into a
sonic territory in which Philip Glass
would feel at home in.

On the other side of the spectrum,

we're treated to traditional native
drumming and chanting.

Guests include Rita Coolidge and
Kashtin.

Music For The Native Americans
is both powerful and delicate.

_ UNPLUGGED

Nirvana — Unplugged In New
York, Geffen Records 1994

Before Kurt Cobain chose to
blow his brains out this year, he was
featured with his bandmates in
November 1993 for an MTV
Unplugged performance.

In Nirvana’s grungy electronic
configuration, pointed messages of
starkly expressive alienation were
jammed into ear-holes with brutal
gusto. Cobain's pain became the
fan’s pain and in the end each per-
sonal morass validated the other's.

This unplugged session is surpris-
ingly revealing for those who are not
rabid Nirvana followers.

First of all, in a fundamentally
acoustic environment the words are
there to be received and understood.

The choice of cover tunes is
unusual and shows that Cobain's
musical heritage was diverse.
There’s a fine version of David
Bowie's vintage track The Man Who
Sold The Warld. Meat Puppets’
wryly enigmatic songs Oh Me,
Plateau and Lake of Fire provide a
fitting broader context for Cobain’s
egocentric explosions.

The disc closes on an arch note of
claustrophobic drama, Where Did
You Sleep Last Night, Leadbelly’s
delightful tale of deceit and obses-
