Los Super Seven

[exy]

Олл Старс сайд проект музыкантов группы Лос Лобос Дэвида Идальго и Сезара Розеса, существующий с 1998 года. В 1999 году вышел первый одноименный диск, которые получил премию Грэмми, как лучший латино-американский альбом. В музыке, так же как и Лос Лобос, следуют стилю текс-мекс, но с большим уклоном в народную традицию. В последующих альбомах звучание было развито кубинскими, перуанскими и бразильскими мотивами.

Combining elements from Los Lobos, the Texas Tornados, and Texas country, Los Super Seven finds common ground in the music of the Lone Star State. Full of Mexican-American traditional tunes, it includes a cover of Woody Guthrie's "Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportee)" sung by Joe Ely. along with Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas, Rick Trevino and Flaco Jimenez have formed a sort of Tex-Mex supergroup brought together by their love for this romantic, yet spicy music. But the music is seriously presented here and produced with love by Steve Berlin with the hopes that it gets beyond the Hispanic community and snares some newer audiences, Los Super Seven is worthy of a listen. Who would have thought world music could be so close to your own back door? -- AMG

Canto, the second album from the all-star Los Super Seven, begins with a mellow, Habanera-influenced groove and the suave vocal incantations of Raul Malo. It's a luring introduction to a CD that offers up one superb song after another. The follow-up to their Grammy award-winning 1998 self-titled debut, Los Super Seven's Canto projects the sophisticated, enduring, and variegated sounds of Latin American music itself. From "Qualquem Coisa," a Brazilian ballad sung by Caetano Veloso, to "Teresa," a Los Angeles-infused songo, Canto's 12 tracks touch upon a number of traditional Latin American styles while retaining a sound all their own. On Canto, the stalwart Los Super Seven crew of Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo from Los Lobos, country singer Rick Trevino, and Tejano star Ruben Ramos welcome Brazilian sensation Caetano Veloso, Raul Malo from the Mavericks, and Peru's primary diva, Susana Baca. All the performers on the album, instrumentalists and vocalists alike, project a confident, smooth, and cosmopolitan sound. Even if you don't consider yourself to be much a Latin music fan, do yourself a favor and check out Canto. Los Super Seven have managed, once again, to defy simple market categories with a release that is Grammy material and, more importantly, great music through and through. -- AMG

2005 - Heard It On The X (CBR 192 kbps)

Los Super Seven isn't a band, per se — it's a collective, organized by manager Dan Goodman, who comes up with a concept for each of the group's albums and assembles a band to fit. For their third album, Goodman turned to music journalist/record producer Rick Clark, whose giveaway CDs for the Oxford American journal are highly regarded in certain quarters. Inspired by ZZ Top's classic boogie rock tribute to border radio, "Heard It on the X," Clark came up with a sharp idea: a salute to the heyday of AM radio on the Texas/Mexico border, when rock & roll, blues, country, jazz, Western swing, and mariachi mixed freely. Clark and Goodman drew up a list of songs and musicians to play them, recruited two different core bands — indie rockers Calexico and a group featuring Charlie Sexton, who also served as the third producer on this album (along with Clark and Goodman), with drummer Hunt Sales — and then brought in a bunch of Texas-identified singers. Some — like Raul Malo, Joe Ely, Rick Trevino, Ruben Ramos, and Freddy Fender — were Los Super Seven veterans, while others — John Hiatt, Lyle Lovett, Rodney Crowell, and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown — are new to the game. That list of musicians signals that Heard It on the X is not nearly as Latin-centric as its predecessor, Canto, which theoretically means it may play to a wider audience, but in 2005, with all this roots music and versions of songs that are 30-40 years old, it's unlikely that this will get much play outside of roots fanatics and those who long for the heyday of Musician magazine. That said, Heard It on the X is executed about as well as it could be. The song selection is expert, touching on lesser-known tunes by such Texas giants as Doug Sahm and Buddy Holly and standards by Blind Lemon Jefferson, ZZ Top, and Bob Wills, adding a few cult favorites and a new tune or two along the way. While this certainly reads like an eclectic listen on paper, in practice it flows easily, thanks to both the house bands, the professional (albeit a bit too clean) production, and the fact that the borders separating these genres are virtually nonexistent these days. There's no real cross-pollination within the grooves themselves (having Ramos sing the title track doesn't quite qualify, since it still comes across as bloozy boogie rock), the styles merely rub shoulders with each other, and since all the musicians already travel in these circles, there are no real surprises (well, apart from Hiatt's mannered vocal on "I'm Not That Kat (Anymore)," but on second thought, that's not much of a surprise, either). But surprises are overrated, particularly with so many similar albums shooting too high and missing the mark. Here, the songs are excellent, performed by the right musicians, and the result is a highly enjoyable record for anybody into any of the featured artists or songwriters. If this doesn't pack the thrill or sense of discovery that the original recordings have, mark that down to the ultimate triumph of border radio — its influence has been so strong and so far-reaching that listeners take its innovations for granted, so an album as nonchalantly diverse as this seems like a welcome everyday occurrence. -- AMG
