Accordion-heavy music, please!
Lately I've been going through another circus/cabaret phase, and I'm finding myself increasingly seeking accordion-heavy music. Please post some of your favorites for me to explore... They don't need to be circus-themed... not that I would complain if they were :)
I'll kick it off with "Marlene Dietrich" by Vagabond Opera... |
You need some Truart in your life. I never realized an accordion could be so imposing until I heard this album:

Also, if you're checking out accordion music, you're probably already familiar with Astor Piazzolla, but just in case you aren't:

Pauline Oliveros made some accordion drone, which is pretty badass imo.
Tom Waits has some great accordion work in his music too, plus I'm guessing that it's more along the lines of what you're looking for. Tin Hat (Trio) uses accordions occasionally as well Guy Kluvevsek |
Now that I think about it, I do listen to a lot of accordeon-heavy music.
Spoiler for A lot of Youtube:

For some reason, my device isn't letting me respond individually on this thread anymore (yes, it's a Mac)... But keep 'em coming! Damn, MB to the accordion mothafukkin rescue :D

It was kind of a chuckle that became a wince of what I've become and that my father was right, for me.

For reasons unknown, this video refuses to parse the YouTube tags, so I'm forced to post this as a link. If anyone can explain what I'm doing wrong I'd be profoundly grateful. In the interim please use the following link:
Hamster Theatre - Vang Vang I continue to try to make a YouTube of the live version of this (the program I used to use is no longer supported), I will continue to endeavor to post this great performance. |
Not working when I try it, either. Maybe they have embedding disabled or something like that.

Ah, that's it. The forum filters out all caps posts, so throwing in a sentence with lowercase letters like this one will fix it.

Brilliant, thanks Frownie

I've known Frownie since 2/2013, I recognize that you made apologies but you did so without any right to do so. Frownie it will remain. Disrespect away.

You guys should both just call me Frownland, or my full name, Frowndryland.

Of course even I can see that Sharon Shannon's music isn't remotely similar to Hendrix in any way; she is just another victim of lazy journalistic thinking, like all those "new Bob Dylan" songwriters.
Prompted by this thread, I had a look at some Flaco Jimenez clips last night, but rather disappointingly, a lot of his music fails to rise above a kind of chirpy, cheesy, generic style. So I took your advice and discovered that Esteban Jordan's musicianship is much more satisfying. Thanks again for a great recommendation, rostasi. Plenty of accordion here too, btw:- http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...r-s-guide.html |
Did someone say Hendrix and accordeon?

I think the only accordion player I've seen live is Charlie Hart, member of Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance band. I used to watch them play in the back room of a pub, and Charlie Hart, rather than being a front-lining virtuoso player, would spend most of the concerts playing guitar. Any time there was a pause between songs, my friend and I would shout out, "Accordion!" and he would reluctantly shoulder the instrument for a few of the closing numbers. Poor guy probably hated us ! |
A video from a recent show I saw featuring Nathan & The Zydeco Cha-Chas, playing a cover of the song by Clifton Chenier that they're named after...
|
The only hit IO could think of was Billy Swann's "I Can Help" from 1974 isa, but now Im not so sure as it may have been played on keyboards
|
Not accordion-heavy (heavy-accordion?) in general, but I think they're notable just for being a metal band that uses them.
