Violinist Regina Carter's debut for Sony Masterworks finds her knee-deep in history once again. Carter has become something of a genre-blind and stylistically-inclusive musicologist, marrying her violin, family history and more to music of various shapes and origins.
She paid tribute to the dark lord of the violin on Paganini: After A Dream (Verve, 2003), explored the songs that her mother loved on I'll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey (Verve, 2006), and bridged the gap between various styles of African music and her own artistic inclinations on Reverse Thread (E1 Entertainment, 2010). Now, with Southern Comfort, Carter captures the spirit of her grandfather's time.
Carter works the folk seam here, visiting in on material that her paternal grandfather, an Alabama-based coal miner, might have been accustomed to hearing during his day and age. A bunch of traditional songs and a nugget or two that fit the stylistic bill, if not the exact place and time (i.e. Gram Parsons' "Hickory Wind"), are handled with care by Carter and her crack crew. Hoedowns and Irish heritage ("Shoo-Rye"), Cajun cooking ("Blues De Basile"), and heartfelt slices of front porch American life ("I'm Going Home") are all explored with extreme clarity and taste. Things get swampy and funky when drummer Alvester Garnett lays down the law ("Trampin'" and "Honky Tonkin'), and zesty when accordionist Will Holshouser steps up, but nothing goes too far afield from where Carter found it and placed it.
Elements of alt-country, folk, Bill Frisell-esque Americana, jazz, traditional music and more merge together beautifully on this gem of an album. Carter has no shortage of fine records in her discography, but this one tops them all.

///////
El debut de la violinista Regina Carter para Sony Masterworks la encuentra de nuevo metida en la historia. Carter se ha convertido en una especie de musicóloga ciega a los géneros y estilísticamente inclusiva, casando su violín, su historia familiar y más con la música de diversas formas y orígenes.
En Paganini rindió homenaje al oscuro señor del violín: After A Dream (Verve, 2003), exploró las canciones que amaba su madre en I'll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey (Verve, 2006), y tendió un puente entre varios estilos de música africana y sus propias inclinaciones artísticas en Reverse Thread (E1 Entertainment, 2010). Ahora, con Southern Comfort, Carter captura el espíritu de la época de su abuelo.
Carter trabaja aquí el filón del folk, visitando el material que su abuelo paterno, un minero del carbón de Alabama, podría haber estado acostumbrado a escuchar en su época. Carter y su equipo de profesionales manejan con cuidado un puñado de canciones tradicionales y una o dos pepitas que encajan en el estilo, si no en el lugar y el tiempo exactos (por ejemplo, "Hickory Wind" de Gram Parsons). Los hoedowns y la herencia irlandesa ("Shoo-Rye"), la cocina cajún ("Blues De Basile") y las sentidas porciones de la vida americana en el porche delantero ("I'm Going Home") se exploran con extrema claridad y gusto. Las cosas se vuelven pantanosas y funky cuando el baterista Alvester Garnett impone su ley ("Trampin'" y "Honky Tonkin'"), y picantes cuando el acordeonista Will Holshouser interviene, pero nada se aleja demasiado de donde Carter lo encontró y lo colocó.
Elementos de alt-country, folk, americanismo al estilo de Bill Frisell, jazz, música tradicional y más se fusionan maravillosamente en esta joya de álbum. A Carter no le faltan buenos discos en su discografía, pero éste los supera a todos.
Lista de canciones: Miner's Child; Trampin'; Hickory Wind; Shoo-Rye; Blues De Basile; I'm Going Home; Honky Tonkin'; Cornbread Crumbled In Gravy; See See Rider; I Moaned And I Moaned; Death Have Mercy/Breakaway.
