What's going on with the album "Abyssal Murmurs: Echoes from the Deep" supposedly produced by Gil Shaham (the revered violinist?!). It's some kind of new age disco slop.
Has his name been hijacked? Has the metadata been incorrectly linked (Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon all have the same). None of the artist bio mentions *anything* about a sudden shift in genre.
The best I can come up with is AI slop being misleadingly attributed to well-known names for exposure.

So, I've got a dozen or so old tunes that I'll pick up any version of them that I can find. Stuff like "St. James Infirmary;" "Cocaine Blues;" "Last Fair Deal;" that kind of thing. It's not really a formal list so much as a gut reaction when I see it on the back of a CD.
Anyway, one of those tunes is John Henry. Which I think is pretty relevant, currently, and honestly I think there might be a pretty interesting dissertation on why I'm seeing a lot of talk of Ned Ludd and not so much of John Henry.
Anyway, all of that is just lead in to the fact that I just discovered the absolute masterpiece "Steel Hammer" by Julia Wolf. It's got: vocal harmonies that feel like they could cut glass; some great pickin' on a banjo; a 9 min. long movement where the names of states become the lyrics to an absolute banger; and a unique version of "John Henry" that's up there with the best.
