	Metro Pulse/Music/Alvin Youngblood Hart
		Instead, the Memphis-based artist is on a one-man crusade, preaching the gospel of the blues and gathering converts wherever he may roam.
		Since the ’80s, Hart has garnered six (count ‘em!) Living Blues Awards, won the Downbeat Critic’s Poll for blues album of the year in 1999, was listed among the New York Times critics’ 2002 pick for top 10 albums, and was nominated for a Grammy in 2003.
		And in spite of the rough-hewn rambunctiousness of his sound, there’s an inherent humanism and empathy to his work that anyone—well, anyone with a molecule of soul, that is—can relate to.

	Rykodisc Catalog - Territory - Alvin Youngblood Hart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Shaped by influences ranging from Leadbelly to Frank Zappa, Hart roams and rambles through a musical landscape of roots and blues, waltz time and western swing, upbeat ska and avant-garde electric guitar.
		Equally impressive as multi-instrumentalist and musical scholar, Hart was well ahead of the revivalist curve in his passion for acoustic country blues.
		And while his skills in that form are in ample evidence, he prefers to see it as one aspect of a greater sensibility.

		While Alvin's technical skills on the guitar are the result of twenty years of practice, he credits his research together with Heidi on older guitars, and particularly 12-strings, with helping him to achievethe same sorts of tones found on recordings from 20s and 30s.
		While Alvin's tastes in roots music are broad he makes to effort to hide his continuing interest in the music of his teenage garage band years, such as Zappa, Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, though in performance he doesn't mix the two.

		Hart, via a forum he sometimes posts on and I just got through listening to the samples from "Big Mama's Door"...and as soon as I post this, I'm ordering it because I think that he has one of the most "authentic" Blues voices and styling I have heard in years.

	Music \| Alvin Youngblood Hart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It’s as if Alvin Youngblood Hart, one of the best of the younger generation of contemporary bluesmen, had crawled out of a time capsule to make this album of acoustic numbers from the early days of the music.
		And not just because the Oakland-born multi-instrumentalist moved to Mississippi and embarked on a pilgrimage to find and restore 1930s guitars, banjos, and mandolins to create the same sounds as Sam Chatmon, Charley Patton, Son House, Skip James, and the other pioneering players he invokes on these recordings.
		Hart’s decision to take numbers like Leadbelly’s "Alberta" and Patton’s "Tom Rushen Blues" at tempos slower than the originals allows him to increase their hypnotic intensity with his slowly evolving chords and the light, airborne sandpaper in his voice.

	village voice > music > Alvin Youngblood Hart's Motivational Speaker by George Smith
		Alvin Youngblood Hart achieves the vibe of golden guitar in the first moments of Motivational Speaker.
		The blow-by-blow to the rest of it could be described—but suffice it to say the guitar hero steps aside using just body English to let the rhythm and songs shine through, just like in the old days, when being funky and really loud 'n' thudly was virtuous.
		F'r instance, Hart offhandedly plays country more hicked and merry than anything on CMT, pancaked with Free's bloozoid tons-o-sobs B-side rumination on a shit-heel, "The Worm." Deserving of the Congressional Medal of Honor for Satisfying Hard Rock 2005 or a Silver Star in pop, easy.
