KOCH
CHARLIE DANIELS BAND/Deuces: When your chops are well proven and you’re out doing your own thing for the fans, you can do whatever you want as long as you make it right. Daniels has been at it too long to get it wrong. This outing finds him doing duets with country acts that may or may not have been around as long as he has from Bonnie Bramlett to Gretchen Wilson. A very nice personality piece, it’s a fun diversion that takes some nice strolls down memory lane for the fun of it without the pressure of any market forces telling anyone what to listen to and when. If you’re an old fan of the long haired country boy, you’ll know what kind of good time you’re in for here.

CHARLIE DANIELS BAND/Live from Iraq: Daniels takes his live greatest hits to Iraq to entertain the kids that are out there in a world they did not create and needing some touch of home. Whatever his politics are, he does nothing but support the kids in their fight here and him and the band turn it up for them. The DVD extra really puts you in the middle of things.

MASSIVE MUSIC
INFANTRY ROCKERS/Boombala: They started out as a bunch of dub mixers and are now taking it to the next level as cult herodom isn’t enough anymore. Making a big, bold, worldwide sound that mixes everything like never before, this crew’s streets are now worldwide and any fans of genre blending mix mastering are going to find this youthful world tour a real ear opener. Hot, wild heavy stuff for the kid down the dorm hallway that wears dreads and still manages to impress the rich, stuck up girls.

TWO FOR THE SHOW MEDIA
ALPER YILMAZ/Clashes: Turkish bass player transplanted to downtown lines up with two line ups playing the same instruments but with perspectives from across the water in either case. An inventive, new player that doesn’t have to do this (he has a Ph. D. in economics), he sounds like he’s more interested in keeping up his bass chops and I think we’re better off for it. Another ecomonist, meh. Another bass player that knows how to kick it out, this jazzbo is on the right track.
