Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
This soundtrack to the movie features an astonishing array of blues artists from three generations. Recorded during one long night at NYC's Radio City Music Hall on Feb. 7, 2003, the electricity is in the air and on stage. While it may not have been the finest blues show in history, the collection of founding fathers such as David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Buddy Guy, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Larry Johnson, Hubert Sumlin, Solomon Burke, and the ubiquitous B.B. King along with their spiritual offspring (Gregg Allman, John Fogerty, and Steven Tyler) and some usual suspects like Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, and Keb' Mo', makes it arguably the most significant blues session ever captured on film.

Beginning acoustic, the double disc builds momentum and volume as we hear the blues mutate to electric and finally hip-hop with Chuck D. exploding on a rap version of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom." The crackling house band led by drummer Steve Jordan provides foundation for gritty, roof-raising pieces like the unusual collaboration between former New York Doll David Johansen and guitarist Sumlin on Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor." Not all of the film's music is included but there are enough magnificent performances for established blues fans and to entice those first experiencing the genre's abundant riches. --Hal Horowitz

5 out of 5 stars excellent!!.......2007-03-23

Great to see so many talented artists come together. Awesome music and rhythyms. Also great to listen to while working out!

5 out of 5 stars Great DVD.......2007-03-10

This autobiography of the blues shows the past and the present of a music steeped in African American culture and rich musical history. Legends of the past perform live with the greats of the past decade presenting the musical form at its fullest potential. The movie incorporates benhind the scenes footage and rare clips of blues artist such as Son House, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson crafting the art of Blues music. Performances like India Ari singing Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday and Guy's rendition of Cant be Satisfied by Muddy Waters, inspire me to watch them over and over again. Lighting in a Bottle is more than just an event; it is a celebration of the life and breath of the music that has inspired countless other genres and has captured the emotion of represion and pentence. Lighting in a body is a journey worth taking.

5 out of 5 stars The perfect CD to Drive too!.......2006-08-19

This CD is the actual performance of the DVD, which I also have and play at least once a week. You can't possibly get bored with this and you won't want to miss one song. However I highly recommend you get the 2 disc companion, so you know the history behind the making of this well produced and presented concert. Abosolutely genius!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great variety of artists.......2006-08-14

This event certainly had a star studded lineup and there are many highlights with Buddy Guy, Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes. Angelique Kidjo, BB King among the many winning performances. The only negative is a poor rap antiwar piece towards the end that just isn't a celebration of the blues or the many diverse artists that produce the blues. There may be a forum for this but this ain't it! The many highlights drown out this so 4.5 Stars.

4 out of 5 stars If you enjoy the blues, you need this cd.......2006-03-26

Great music, good mix of artists. Could have done without a rapper trying to turn "boom boom" into an anti-war statement.

    5 out of 5 stars TOO good FOR me.......1999-11-04

    It's the most important cd that i heard this Year It was the time... I was waiting for it as I was waiting GUITAR TOWN ten years more ago. I have an alternative country show on a national network RCF and I very proud to broadcast it to my listerners. Thanks to receive a promo copy.

    5 out of 5 stars McClatchy is AWESOME.......1999-08-13

    I've have Scott's CD and I've seen him play live...And for me what's important is that he writes his owns music. Very well, I might add :) Buy this CD, listen to it over and over and then get out and see him. He's a great musician and an excellent performer. He draws you in when he's on stage -- you can see he's having a great time playing this great stuff. His music takes it's cues from hardcore rock 'n' roll, folk and country...it's an eclectic mix that works very well and is so much better than most of the cookie-cutter stuff out there today.

    5 out of 5 stars One of my top 5 CD's so far this year.......1999-08-06

    I learned about Scott McClatchy's CD, "Blue Moon Revisited" by hearing his version of the old Rod Stewart song, "You Wear It Well" on WJJC. The songs all have great hooks and I think the guitar playing is fantastic.

    5 out of 5 stars A keeper!.......1999-07-20

    McClatchy is a great writer who is able to capture emotion and passion in a three minute song as well as anyone working today. Think of Steve Earle meets Bruce Springsteen. This is a fine record that gets even better with each play. He is also an amazing live performer. Check him out.

    5 out of 5 stars This cd proves that there *is* great music being made today.......1999-05-04

    Scott McClatchy's "Blue Moon Revisited" is the kind of cd that's easy to listen to. The musicians on the cd are top flight, the songs have great hooks and on occasion (as in "Good Man's Spirit") there is a serious story being told.

    One of the main reason I like the cd is the vocals. Scott delivers the songs with a passionate style and the surrounding harmonies (on songs like "Reflection") make for a perfect fit.

    With what's getting played on the radio & MTV these days, I find that most of my cd collection is from these new independant labels. So, with cd's like this, I feel there is hope for rock & roll.

    Album Description

    The long-awaited first full length solo release. You may recognize him as a founding member of 28th Day, The Downsiders and currently California's Snowmen. Experience the beauty of Cole's music, sense the definitive moodiness, the subtle yet complex poetry of his lyrics, the feeling of twisted intimacy. Full of warped open tunings, swirling haunted melodies, psychedelic done, crooning vocals, slide guitar, and bizarre four-track effects.

    4 out of 5 stars Great album, and worth the wait........1998-12-12

    Vocal arrangements very much like Elliot Smith, but voice more like Dean Wareham (Luna.) His version of "I Only Have Eyes For You" is fantastic.

    5 out of 5 stars Intoxicating and beautiful.......1998-11-26

    This CD went on at a small get together I was at and it litterally stopped conversation. "Who is this?" everyone asked. The case was passed around and appraised by the guests. It was an immediate hit among the 7 people in that house.

    Hopefully, not to the artist's offense, Cole Marquis projects the wonderful moods and melodies of Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters) and Elliot Smith amidst dreamy noisescapes or simple acoustic accompaniment. Not really the kind of music you'd expect to hear at a party, but more than welcomed when you do. I'm still waiting on the arrival of this CD and everyday, my thoughts of it grow fonder. Everyone should check it out, if you're into that sort of thing.

    From the fire of "miles mode" to soulful ballad, "my one and only love" to the goofy but understandable "good booty and BBQ" to the rhythm filled "Mr. Drummerman". This is an outstanding album with outstanding musicians!! Showing you can have great feel, with great technique, and still have fun!
