2010 CD Rounder 11661-3277-2



Iconic roots label Rounder Records appropriately celebrated its 40th anniversary with a concert featuring some of its biggest success stories. Recorded on October 12, 2009 at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House and filmed for a PBS television special, Rounder Records' 40th Anniversary Concert was hosted by actress/musician Minnie Driver, and featured standout performances from Béla Fleck, Irma Thomas, Alison Krauss (with Union Station and Robert Plant), Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jerry Douglas, and banjo player (and occasional actor/Oscar host/comedy legend) Steve Martin.

James Christopher Monger - All Music Guide



2010 marks a milestone for America's premiere independent label, Rounder Records: 40 years in the music industry. To celebrate, Rounder held an anniversary concert on October 12th at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. Grammy-winning Rounder artists Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, Mary Chapin Carpenter, B‚la Fleck and Irma Thomas performed at this momentous celebration along with musical host, Minnie Driver, and special guests Nathan & The Zydeco Cha Chas and Jazz/R&B pianist, Henry Butler. Steve Martin's show at The Ryman Auditorium the night before was also filmed and select performances from that show are included on the album. In addition, performances from Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's 2008 CMT Crossroads are included, as well as performances from Madeleine Peyroux's 2009 concert in Los Angeles.

Rounder’s astounding roster celebrated at special anniversary show.

When you look at the roster of Rounder Records you wonder why you bother to listen to other labels’ output. Just go into a record shop and say: “I’ll have half a dozen assorted Rounder releases, please.” You can’t really go wrong.

This compilation of the pick of the performances from the label’s 40th anniversary concert won’t let you down. I could grumble about Minnie Driver starting it off: there are better singers and better songs, but it would be churlish to deny this quality-driven label the chance to show a bit of glitz. The same goes for the inclusion of another actor-first-musician-second, Steve Martin, but if these appearances bring people in, who can blame them.

The performances cover Rounder’s palette: bluegrass in its most rarefied form from Alison Krauss, who throughout her career has spurned offers from major labels and stayed with Rounder. She makes her characteristic low-key presence felt – with both Robert Plant and her band, Union Station.

Zydeco is celebrated by Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, and gospel-soul from Irma Thomas, whose Don’t Mess With My Man is worth buying this album for on its own. Jazz comes from Madeleine Peyroux. Her take on Leonard Cohen’s Dance Me to the End of Love is as louche as Billie Holliday, with whom she is inevitably compared.

The world’s best banjo player (and he is), Béla Feck, plays on two extraordinary duets. One, with the world’s best dobro player, Jerry Douglas, is impressive but the other, where Béla accompanies Abigail Washburn on Keys to the Kingdom, is sublime. If everyone heard the way he supports and embellishes her vocal, there would never be another banjo joke.

Mary Chapin Carpenter rounds the album off. She’s landed at Rounder after some hurly-burly with the mainstream country music industry, which lost faith with her because she used too many chords and wrote thoughtful lyrics. It’s a slight shame that He Thinks He’ll Keep Her, her big Sony hit, is one she performs here, but again, if it brings folks into the Rounder fold, then great.

I rather wish I’d been at this show. On this evidence, it must’ve been a hell of a night.
