Details: It all begins in rapidly changing, turn-of-the-century London. At a time when magicians are idols and celebrities of the highest order, two young magicians set out to carve their own paths to fame. The flashy, sophisticated Robert Angier is a consummate entertainer, while the rough-edged purist Alfred Borden is a creative genius who lacks the panache to showcase his magical ideas. They start out as admiring friends and partners. But when their biggest trick goes terribly awry, they become enemies for life--each intent on outdoing and upending the other. Trick by trick, show by show, their ferocious competition builds until it knows no bounds, even utilizing the fantastical new powers of electricity and the scientific brilliance of radical inventor Nikola Tesla--while the lives of everyone around them hang in the balance.
"a magically crafted grimoire of voodoo space blues" (New Orleans Gambit)
It's not often I start a review, immediately stop, pour myself a rock full of my favorite bourbon, and then continue said review - especially when I start said review at 5:28 am. But then if you had heard the song "Sugarland" by Papa Mali, you'd likely join me. Ernest Hemingway I am not. Yet I could not continue without my liquid accompaniment.
First things first - "Do Your Thing" is a release that deftly deviates between roots rock, delta blues and voodoo soul. This is a compelling effort with a rough ache that seeks and believes in redemption. Yet in a world that may be merely nothing more than sexual innuendo and steamy eroticism, facing global recession that leaves us all just hurling towards an inevitable apocalypse, we have two choices........drop to a knee and beg for salvation or get up to that there crossroads and sell our souls to the devil. After listening to this disc I am left wondering which is exactly the correct choice.
This effort is remarkable in that it moves seamlessly through it's varied styles. "Honey Bee" is a wonderful jazz piece that would fit perfectly in a movie like "Sleepless In Seattle". The sultry "Girls In Bossier City" is a steamy trip into the bowels of New Orleans, pure sex and spectacle. "Sugarland" is a toe-to-toe stare down with the hounds of Hell, wonderfully dark, brooding and perilously unregenerate. "Do Your Thing" adds an incredible echo to the vocals that creates a dreamy, ethereal effect and really stands out.
I first connected with Papa Mali after hearing the song "Girls In Bossier City", a gritty song with simmering guitar work. But everything on this release is a soul-stirring, dark and mysterious glimpse of New Orleans roots music, rife with soulful slide guitars and visceral vocals. Mali invites the city's most celebrated musical ambassadors including Henry Butler, Kirk Joseph and Monk Boudreaux to participate, and for good measure.
Said Mali, "We played together live right there in the room, all of us sitting together, and of all the things that I've been involved in musically it is perhaps my proudest moment. Of all the things I've recorded that may be the highlight right there."
A highlight indeed. If you've never experienced delta blues with a touch of an upbeat jazz tempo, or if your experience is limited to Dr. John, take heed. This is Robert Johnson with modern production; Pinetop Perkins with a seedy edge; in short, an echo-drenched, sonic joy ride which transforms contemporary jazz into a heavenly combination of roots, blues and voodoo electronica.

Please. check out the new song on my player Really Not Fair. Thought of this one in the tub. calling my friend on my handy and her not being at home..well you can hear what happened
Well, they were right about the gig...over 60,000 people attended the birthday of the VW Transporter in Hannover at the Messe. Our band "The Bulli Allstars" played the afternoon to get the people started. MTV Europe, Patrice, were there and Barbara Shoenenberger hosted (what a fox). They set up 2 gigantic stages 90 degrees from each other and sandwiched the crowd in the middle. Easier to rotate the bands. We started and Sasha then Sweetie Glitter and then THE WHO..To close out the night we finished with another hour of songs.. The party was really the backstage area.. I made a total ass of myself..sang "Pinball wizard" and gave a "Smile Baby" CD to Roger D. (Hey he laughed) Pete Townsend stayed in his dressing area. Rabbit (Hammond) was really a nice and talkative guy. (we had a Hammond player too, Wolfman). I stayed up all day and night(did not want to miss a thing) I only had to sing about 4 songs.
We should be getting better pictures and articles soon so I will post on the site.
I like the rock music and discotecque too. I am very much in love with American men of Greek or Turkish descent. I am name Renata Hrdlickova and from Czech Republic. Thank you for your interest.
