The Way of the World
by: Mose Allison
(Anti-Records)
At 82, Mose Allison stands as one of the hippest musicians in American music. His solid foundation of jazz and blues influenced artists such as The Rolling Stones, Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Leon Russell and John Mayall. He even existed as a musical staple for a while on Atlantic Records.
The Mississippi native's latest CD--The Way of the World--is his first studio album in 12 years. Joe Henry (Jayhawks, T-Bone Burnett, Daniel Lanois) produced this latest Allison disc. Recorded in five days, this studio album contains Allison's sharp songwriting and indelible piano style.
The Way of the World contains a balance of blues and jazz with Allison's Beat Poet flair. All but three of these tunes count as originals. "My Brain" opens the disc, and although it's a jazzy tune the song's origins seems to harken back to some old blues number. "I Know You Didn't Mean It" evokes more Beat vibrations, but Allison's strength resides in his musical simplicity.
"Everybody Thinks You're An Angel" maintains the disc's laid back sonic landscape. Saxophone, guitar, piano, mandola, upright bass and drums compose the musical instruments these songs are founded upon. Subtle licks thread these compositions. "Let It Come Down" conjures images of a jazz den...smoke lingering around the blue lights. "Modest Proposal" indicates Allison's never opposed to lighthearted material.
The instrumental, "Crush", represents the album's centerpiece song. A real timeless jazz classic...a nod to Thelonious Monk. The title track, co-written with Joe Henry, verifies Allison's musical shadow covers essential generations of American music. The Way of the World would make Jack Kerouac proud...

A ugg boots clearance recent survey found that one out of five Americans teenage or older want an iPad. No wonder Apple is selling three million iPads a month. It's the fastest-selling single product in the history of consumer electronics. Most buyers are choosing an iPad as a supplement to their current computers -- for watching movies in bed, like I do, or reading books in my easy chair when there's nothing good on TV ugg boots clearance. The iPad pretty much has the personal side of computing covered. But what about the computer side? What about the tasks you do on your laptop or on your desktop computer ugg boots clearance? But I'm convinced that many of you would find the iPad a delightful replacement for a typical laptop computer, whether a Windows PC or Mac, if you mostly use a laptop for three typical functions -- e-mail, social networking (through Facebook, for example) and Web browsing ugg boots clearance. What about occasional word processing? Apple's word processor, called Pages, is outstanding on the iPad. (A bonus: It also works easily with Microsoft Word documents, both reading them and saving them.) If you need software that can show and create PowerPoint presentations, iPad software called Keynote can do that nicely. There's even an Excel-compatible program called Numbers ugg boots clearance. All three of these productivity programs -- called apps -- sell for only $10 each. Getting something equivalent to Microsoft Office for only $30 is surely a steal ugg boots clearance. There are many, either free or a couple of dollars, at the App Store ugg boots outlet. Could an iPad be your only computer? Not for long. It gets updates via free software called iTunes running on a standard computer. When you plug the iPad into the computer using a USB cable, iTunes transfers the updates to your iPad ugg boots outlet. (iTunes is also used to add music, books, podcasts, university lectures, TV shows and movies to an iPad.) But if my experience is a guide, the iPad can function well as a replacement for a laptop. If you buy one, be sure to get the Keyboard Dock and the Camera Connection Kit. Photos look spectacular on the 10-inch screen ugg boots clearance.
