MUSIC REVIEWS THE TIME JUMPERS, “Kid Sister”; WILLIE NELSON, “For the Good Times: A Tribute to Ray Price” — The Time Jumpers are a 10-member Nashville ensemble of musician’s musicians that includes superstar Vince Gill and specializes in vintage country styles, especially Western swing. There’s plenty of that swing and similarly exuberant music on the band’s third album. But “Kid Sister” is also suffused with a sense of loss, specifically that of Time Jumpers vocalist Dawn Sears, who died in 2014 of lung cancer. Her final contributions surface on two tracks. What gives the album its emotional heft are such Gill-penned and -sung ballads as “I Miss You” and the title song. And Sears’ husband, fiddler and singer Kenny Sears, weighs in with his own shuffle, “This Heartache.” The Time Jumpers are among the musicians backing Willie Nelson on his spot-on tribute to his old boss, the late Ray Price. Nelson masterfully covers both of Price’s signature styles: the hard-country shuffle rhythm of “Heartaches by the Number” and “City Life,” and the more pop-oriented approach of “Make the World Go Away” and Willie’s own “Night Life,” which are immersed in strings and smooth backup vocalists. — Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer

BOB WEIR, “Blue Mountain” — Bob Weir has been constantly on the road, leading various incarnations of post-Grateful Dead bands, but he has been frugal with new music. “Blue Mountain,” his first album of new songs as a bandleader since Ratdog’s “Evening Moods” in 2000, is a surprising turn, too: It’s full of cowboy songs, with a thick,

moody atmosphere built around Weir’s dark voice and acoustic guitar. Most of the songs were written by or with singer-songwriter Josh Ritter, and the backing band often includes Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Scott Devendorf of the National, fresh off their epic “Day of the Dead” tribute album. The songs are full of imagery of the Old West: cattle and horses; cottonwoods, rivers, and ghost towns. The cowboy theme occasionally seems strained — “Ki-Yi Bossie” risks pastiche — but most of the time, Weir uses the imagery to spin tales of existential contemplation and lovelorn melancholy. — Steve Klinge, The Philadelphia Inquirer CLAYBANK, “Playing Hard To Forget” — ClayBank is a bluegrass band named for Claybank Road in the Claybank community in West Jefferson, N.C., where the band rehearses. ClayBank has only been active for a little over a year, but it’s already gaining a lot of attention with its debut album. The first single, “Up On Claybank,” recently made it into Bluegrass Today’s Top 15 singles. ClayBank’s lead singers — Zack Arnold and Jacob Greer — are still in their teens. But they’ve both been musicians for years. They wrote “Up On Claybank” and the instrumental, “Foot of the Phoenix. And Gary Trivette, the bass player, wrote and sings lead on “Daddy Would Sing,” a song about a hardworking farmer whose singing could be heard until the day he died. “Demise of Handsome Molly” is a murder ballad. “It Almost Feels Like Love,” one of the best sounds on the album, features the trio vocals of Greer, Arnold and Trivette. “Sticking With The Old

Stuff ” and “I Believe” are bluegrass gospel. The title track is a ballad about a man who took the woman he loves for granted — and lost her. A good debut by a band that should be going places. — Keith Lawrence, Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer DANNY BROWN, “Atrocity Exhibition” — By 2014, the Detroit electro rapper Danny Brown was looking like a crude genius — and an advertisement for the sex ‘n’ drugs lifestyle. Linguistically, on “XXX” (2011) and its EDM-influenced “Old” (2013), he was as explicit as a shotgun wedding between Millie Jackson and Redd Foxx. Musically, his riveting, spare electronic-hop sounded like the bounce of a Super Ball in a motion simulator. To this hot mix, Brown added his highpitched, occasionally slurry voice. Nothing sounded like a Danny Brown record. That’s still the case with his fourth album, his first in three years, “Atrocity Exhibition.” Only now, his tempos are a tad slower, his sample-laced sound clamorous and rich. He’s willing to share the cobalt spotlight on tracks like the stammering “Really Doe” with Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt and Ab-Soul. The languid and analog-synth soupy “Tell Me What I Don’t Know” (think Walter/Wendy Carlos’ “A Clockwork Orange” sound track) finds Brown stuck in prison, ruminating in a deep voice about his lack of options. That tone is also on the soul-stealing “Downward Spiral,” “Lost,” and “White Lines,” with each portraying not so much differing degrees of the error of Brown’s ways, but how decrepitude outlasts attitude. Decay never sounded so groovy. — A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Johnny Carson ‘Vault Series’ interesting look at life in the 1970s By NEAL JUSTIN Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Johnny Carson remains the undisputed King of Late Night, but perhaps we should tack on another title: history teacher. “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series,” previously available online and now being distributed on DVD by Time Life, is packaged as a die-hard collector’s item with complete episodes and vintage commercials. As a tribute, it’s a raspberry. The dozen episodes I watched from the 1970s are not nearly as polished, witty or groundbreaking as our memories would like to believe. As a time capsule, it’s pure gold. Few documentaries better capture the spirit and shortcomings of

an era where the wardrobe had more of a voice than minorities and women. In a revealing clip from 1977, Carson asks comedian Richard Pryor whether he feels a particular responsibility toward “the blacks” going to see his upcoming film, “Greased Lightning.” “The blacks?” says an incredulous Pryor, who gets his revenge later, mugging and giggling through Carson’s attempts to interview consumer reporter David Horowitz. At least Pryor got an invite. The collection includes 36 full episodes, but only six of the guests are people of color, including heavyweight champ Joe Frazier, whose charm in 1972 had not yet been dimmed by Muhammad Ali. The only black female is stuntwoman Peaches Jones, who, unfortunately, is not around to

kick Ed McMahon in the windpipe when he lustily announces that his boss will welcome a lady who owns a filling station. There are plenty of other female guests whose primary purpose seems to be to goose male hormones. Joanna Cassidy laments how she felt like an ugly duckling growing up, causing the rest of the male panel, including Carl Reiner, to trip over their wagging tongues, insisting she’s a knockout. Lynda Carter provides a fascinating insight into how she struggled financially, despite “Wonder Woman,” but Carson is much more interested in experiences that never happened on the “casting couch.” The commercials are equally telling about the era’s gender gap.

cett-Majors, working as pitchwomen before being recruited for “Charlie’s Angels,” coo in tones reserved for dogs and dirty old men. It’s hard to turn off the astonishing examples of political incorrectness, but try — at least long enough to appreciate an early appearance by Andy Kaufman, breaking all the stand-up rules and then sitting down for what may be the most sincere interview of his career. There’s also a rare U.S. performance by Russian clown Oleg Popov, and Buddy Rich sets aside his ego long enough to show why some consider him the greatest drummer of all time. Pop-culture aficionados will devour Michael Landon’s blooper reel from “Little House on the Prairie.” Here’s some more startling revelations:

1. Johnny Carson wasn’t all ears. Nostalgia dictates that Carson was TV’s most gracious host, but there are numerous examples of him checking out, most notably during “Stump the Band,” the popular segment that forced the King to interact with the peasants. In one telling segment, Jaye P. Morgan rips into the host for giving his cigarette more attention than her. 2. Ed McMahon was a rock. The ultimate sidekick knew his primary job was to make the boss shine, but that didn’t deter him from delivering more zingers than you might recall, all the while hotfooting from one live commercial to another. McMahon is so impressive that you can almost overlook the night he was given permission to sing.

3. Guests didn’t appear in order of prominence. Those who got first billing were more likely to engage with the other panelists, which explains why B-listers Orson Bean and Suzanne Pleshette were introduced before Gene Kelly and Lorne Greene. This strategy pays off in dividends when Steve Allen sticks around to help Carson tear apart a very loopy Jack Palance. 4. The jokes weren’t that funny. Carson’s reaction to bombs is legendary, but he had to dip into that well of quips more often than you’d think. Stand-up comics didn’t always fare well, either, as evidenced by two Robert Klein routines that sail over the crowd’s heads. One explanation: Studio audiences weren’t as primed and coached as they are today.

MINI-REVIEWS

‘The Birth of a Nation’ is a powerful, problematic film By MICHAEL PHILLIPS Chicago Tribune

Nate Parker’s debut feature, “The Birth of a Nation,” owes a great deal of its storytelling, its brute force and its blood-boiling injustice to Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart.” “I love the comparison,” Parker told Alex Billington of firstshowing.net, after Parker’s Sundance Film Festival triumph in January. “The humanity (Gibson) brought to it inspired me.” It’s a solid bet: If you admired the righteous brutality of Gibson’s film, then you’ll likely be gripped by much of Parker’s. I’ve been wrestling with my problems with “The Birth of a Nation,” a powerful, flawed picture, for weeks now. It’s a tremendous piece of American history. The story belongs to the ages. The film’s reputation and reception, however, may have peaked with Sundance. In August 1831 the enslaved preacher Nat Turner led an armed revolt in Southampton County, Virginia, freeing dozens of fellow slaves and killing dozens of white men, women and children in a twoday melee. Turner eluded capture for weeks after the short-lived rebellion, popularly known as “Nat’s Fray” and “Old Nat’s War.” The publication of “The Confessions of Nat Turner,” reportedly the imprisoned Turner’s version of events as told to the physician Thomas R. Gray, set certain ideas in literary stone regarding

the revolutionary. From birth, he was considered a chosen one by his people, subject to visions; Turner waited for a sign from God to lead the oppressed and chained out of bondage and into the fire. Parker’s film aims to erase all traces of zealotry or fanaticism from Turner’s image, and to humanize and Hollywood-ize the Turner myth. In Parker’s own screenplay, the man is never just a man; he is freedom incarnate. The film takes its title from the notorious, Klan-friendly 1915 D.W. Griffith monument to white supremacy and (problematically) stunning cinematic wiles. Parker’s “Birth” argues that the real America, the one still very much in bloody progress, is a nation built on the necessary righting of grievous institutional wrongs. Now: How does this play out in story terms? As played by writer-director Parker, Turner is a genial, relatable firebrand, a man of his time

but very much out ahead of it, divinely inspired at every step. The most effective element of “The Birth of a Nation” is its middle section, where the grueling daily facts of life under slavery gradually send Turner into action. As a preacher for hire (Armie Hammer plays his cash-strapped owner, who profits from Turner’s oratorical gifts) Turner witnesses one atrocity after another. On a neighboring plantation where he’s to placate the slaves, Turner watches as a slave’s teeth are methodically hammered out of his mouth as punishment for a hunger strike. Later, the rape of Turner’s wife, Cherry (Aja Naomi King), demands an eye for an eye, as does a second rape, that of the wife (Gabrielle Union) of Turner’s insurrectionist friend (Colman Domingo). In a key scene, Parker comforts his miserably disfigured wife after the assault. When the camera starts drifting away from her and toward him, you think: Really? This mo-

ment belongs to you, too? With any retelling of this American history, it’s not difficult to stoke an audience’s desire for vengeful justice. Parts of “The Birth of a Nation” are bluntly effective and beautifully acted, though one of the drawbacks, ironically, is Parker’s own performance. Even the rape victims of the screenplay have a hard time getting their fair share of the screen time; everything in the story, by design, keeps the focus and the anguished close-ups strictly on Parker. He’s a good actor, but not much of a director; the visual style and approach of “The Birth of a Nation” tries a little of everything, and often too much of everything. There is, however, an inspired leap forward, well realized, when the film needs it most: Without giving it away, the movie imagines an epilogue, brief and sharp, 30 years into America’s future. This is a film review, not a referendum on a rape case. “The Birth of a Nation” is rarely dull and Parker’s chosen tactic of going the full Mel Gibson whenever possible yields results. But the “Braveheart” rule applies. Quite apart from his Christian beliefs, Parker sees the Nat Turner story as righteous wrath, straight, no chaser, not much characterization. Very likely, the real Turner was a more unruly, contradictory and human figure than the icon at the center of things here. — 2:00. Rating: R (for disturbing violent content, and some brief nudity). HH 1/2 (out of four stars)

Compiled from news services. Ratings are 1 to 4 stars. “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” — Tim Burton’s adaptation of the popular children’s book about a school for freakishly gifted children is a messy, confusing, uninvolving mishmash of old-school practical effects and CGI battles. It’s like watching a master musician play a piano he somehow doesn’t realize is out of tune. Fantasy, PG-13, 122 minutes. H ½ “Deepwater Horizon” — Mark Wahlberg and Kurt Russell play the real-life good guys aboard the oil rig before and after the explosion and fire that created the largest offshore oil spill in history. This is a well-made, sometimes horrifyingly realistic re-creation of events, but it often feels like a formulaic disaster film. Disaster action, PG-13, 97 minutes. HHH “Queen of Katwe” — This uplifting story of a poor Ugandan girl with a knack for chess follows the formula of Disney sports movies, but works because of Mira Nair’s energetic direction and an endearing cast led by Lupita Nyong’o and newcomer Madina Nalwanga. Sports drama, PG, 124 minutes. HHH “The Magnificent Seven” — A team of mercenaries is hired to protect a mining town in a rousing, albeit sometimes cheesy, action-packed Western bolstered by Denzel Washington’s baddest lead performance and some of the most impressively choreographed extended shootout sequences in recent memory. Western action, PG-13, 133 minutes. HHH “Snowden” — Who better than master filmmaker/agitator Oliver Stone to direct, in sometimes rambling fashion, the story of the techno-whiz who leaked thousands of classified documents? Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance in the title role is so good we can understand most of the moves Snowden makes — even if we’re not buying the hagiography Stone is selling. Biography-Drama-Thriller, R, 138 minutes. HHH “Bridget Jones’s Baby” — From start to finish, the third “Bridget Jones” movie seems strangely out of touch. It’s so predictable and so cloying and so insulting to the audience, it’s a wonder star Renee Zellweger and all parties involved didn’t just shrug their shoulders and walk off the set in defeat halfway through the movie. Comedy, R, 122 minutes. H ½ “Sully” — Director Clint Eastwood gives us an electrifying thriller, a wonderful in-depth character study and a fascinating airline safety procedural, while Tom Hanks delivers another in a long line of memorable performances, playing the pilot who made an emergency crash-landing on the Hudson River. An absolute triumph. Biography-Drama, PG-13, 96 minutes. HHHH “Other People” — Jesse Plemons of “Breaking Bad” is a deadpan delight as a writer who travels cross-country to be with his dying mother (Molly Shannon). This smart and lovely slice of life-and-death is the equivalent of a singles hitter, accumulating one small and legitimately successful moment after another. Drama, no rating, 97 minutes. HHH ½

MOVIES “Morgan” — In the most infuriating movie of the year, the supposedly advanced minds that created a frighteningly realistic artificial superhuman commit such egregious blunders you’ll be tempted to throw your popcorn at the screen. One of the worst movies of 2016. Sci-fi thriller, R, 92 minutes. H “The Hollars” — John Krasinski directs and stars in this uneven, ineffective and self-conscious dysfunctional family comedy/ drama with a Sundance-y vibe. In scene after scene, the greatly talented and usually quite likable cast including Anna Kendrick, Richard Jenkins and Margo Martindale keeps stepping in big piles of wrong choices. Comedy/drama, PG-13, 88 minutes. H ½ “The Light Between Oceans” — A decision made by a couple (Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander) on an isolated Australian island is at the core of this gorgeous but plodding and borderline ludicrous period-piece weeper. We’re supposed to feel for them, but what they’ve done isn’t just criminal; it’s cruel. Drama, PG-13, 130 minutes. HH “Ben-Hur” — This admittedly impressive-looking version of the fictional biblical legend often plays like the next chapter of the

“Fast and Furious” franchise rather than a serious period epic. Well-intentioned efforts to achieve moving, faith-based awakenings are undercut by casually violent action sequences. Instead of having the strength of its convictions, it comes across as a film hedging its bets. Epic drama, PG-13, 125 minutes. HH “War Dogs” — Two 20-something potheads (Jonah Hill and Miles Teller) appoint themselves arms dealers and work their way up to scoring a $300 million government contract in a slick and sometimes glib but undeniably entertaining, wickedly funny and justifiably cynical satire. Comedy satire, R, 114 minutes. HHH ½ “Imperium” — We believe Daniel Radcliffe as an intense, idealistic, somewhat naive FBI agent who goes undercover as a white supremacist to infiltrate a potential domestic terrorist threat. This is a well-spun, tight thriller, thanks in no small part to Radcliffe’s excellent, sharply focused performance. Thriller, R, 108 minutes. HHH ½ “Hell or High Water” — Veteran Texas Rangers (Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham) pursue bank-robbing brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Fos-

ter) in an instant classic modern-day Western, traveling down familiar roads, but always, always with a fresh and original spin. This is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. If you tell me you love movies, I can’t imagine you not wanting to see it. Western drama, R, 102 minutes. HHHH “Sausage Party” — The raunchiest movie of the year is also one of the funniest, an animated adventure about a hot dog and other anthropomorphic grocery items learning their fate. The cursing and sexual stuff isn’t mean-spirited. It’s just ... stupid. But also pretty smart. Animated comedy, R, 89 minutes. HHH “The Little Prince” — Jeff Bridges and Rachel McAdams lead a talented cast who lend their voices in this beautifully animated adaptation of the classic novella — with an ingenious twist. Animated adventure, PG, 108 minutes. HHH “Suicide Squad” — Writer/director David Ayer has missed a golden opportunity with a topnotch cast. Comic book villains are tapped to do good in a film that never lives up to its DC Universe inspiration. Superhero action, PG-13, 130 minutes. HH
