Yo Yo Ma - casually


Just picked up "the Goat Rodeo Sessions" cd from the library. Unexpected but interesting. A bit of country, bluegrass and 'Funky Chicken'(for those that remember it).

For me Goat Rodeo is an occasional listen. Appalachian Spring is close to weekly. I could listen to the Bach Suites daily and never get bored.
Well. Very interesting event today. I did enjoy listening to
this album as a peek into Yo-Yo's interests---but-- I put it on again today and couldn't listen to it. Boring in the extreme. I was surprised; but it is rodeo music;and I can't say I'm a fan of chuckwagon racing. Oh well..Get me back to classical!! And jazz.
I'm with you Brownsfan.It's nice to see what a genius player can simply partake and enjoy.
Ptss, I agree. What after all, would people expect him to do? Record the Dvorak concerto 6 times? Crossover efforts as well done as those two albums are to be applauded.
Thanks. Appalachian Journey isn't in our regional library so I'm checking other avenues. Yo-Yo has created controversy among classical die-hards but I find it interesting to enjoy other music making endeavors.
