Number 10 (J. J. Cale Album)
''Number 10'' is a 1992 album by J. J. Cale. It was his tenth studio album since his debut in 1971. Recording ''Number 10'' was Cale’s second LP for Silvertone. Compared to his albums in the 70s and 80s, he employs fewer session players for this album, yet still achieves his signature sound. Before releasing 1990’s ''Travel-Log'', he went on hiatus, not releasing an album in six years. Notoriously wary of the spotlight, Cale quietly went about his own business his way, and in an era of fuzz guitar and grunge, he delivered his own unique blend of musical styles augmented by his laid-back vocal delivery. In his AllMusic review of the album, Roch Parisien contends: The song “Traces” features Christine Lakeland on synthesizer and foreshadows the synth-heavy material Cale would produce on his next two albums. Cale, who started his career as an engineer in Leon Russell's home studio in the late sixties, told ''Vintage Guitar'' in 2004, “I love the engineering part; t ...

Synthesizer
A synthesizer (also spelled synthesiser) is an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals. Synthesizers typically create sounds by generating waveforms through methods including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis and frequency modulation synthesis. These sounds may be altered by components such as filters, which cut or boost frequencies; envelopes, which control articulation, or how notes begin and end; and low-frequency oscillators, which modulate parameters such as pitch, volume, or filter characteristics affecting timbre. Synthesizers are typically played with keyboards or controlled by sequencers, software or other instruments, and may be synchronized to other equipment via MIDI. Synthesizer-like instruments emerged in the United States in the mid-20th century with instruments such as the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer, RCA Mark II, which was controlled with Punched card, punch cards and used hundreds of vacuum tubes. The Moog synthesizer, d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Blues
Blues is a music genre and musical form which originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads from the African-American culture. The blues form is ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, and is characterized by the call-and-response pattern (the blues scale and specific chord progressions) of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. Blue notes (or "worried notes"), usually thirds, fifths or sevenths flattened in pitch, are also an essential part of the sound. Blues shuffles or walking bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect known as the groove. Blues as a genre is also characterized by its lyrics, bass lines, and instrumentation. Early traditional blues verses consisted of a single line repeated four times. It was only in the first decades of the 20th century that the most common current str ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
