  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Isaiah Berlin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Sir Isaiah Berlin OM (June 6, 1909 – November 5, 1997) was a political philosopher and historian of ideas, regarded as one of the leading liberal thinkers of the 20th century.
Riga, now Latvia, then part of the Russian Empire, he was the first Jew to be elected to a prize fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford; became the founding president of Wolfson College, Oxford; and from 1957 to 1967, served as the Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at the University of Oxford.
Isaiah Berlin was once confused with Irving Berlin by Winston Churchill who invited the latter for lunch, thinking he was the former.

 * Dusted Reviews - Isaiah Owens *
Isaiah Owens is such an artist and You Without Sin Cast the First Stone, his CaseQuarter debut (and the second auspicious release from the Montgomery, Alabama label), staunchly circumvents the pratfalls of its more antiseptic brethren.
Owens suggests quite a striking persona if the disc’s liners and photos are any indication.
Owens’ music represents a swiftly dwindling breed, cut from the same bolt of spiritual cloth as other street corner preachers as the Reverend Louis Overstreet and Utah Smith (the overdue subject of an upcoming project on the label).

Poet John Donne admonished the Grim Reaper with the words, "death, be not proud." Funeral cosmetologist Isaiah Owens makes a simpler promise to his clients: Death might be painful, heartbreaking, and awful, but under Owens deft hand, at least it will not be ugly.
For 30 years Owens has owned and operated a funeral home in Harlem that boasts the slogan "where beauty softens your grief." There he has been transforming the dead, along with their wounded, emaciated, bruised and shrunken bodies, into glowing, smiling and well-dressed testaments to life.

Owens has long been a gospel singer, but didn't pick up the guitar until he was in his 50s.
But where their notes were let loose in pursuit of artful posturing, Owens' loud angular strumming screams nothing but the utmost conviction unto the Lord.

 Free Moral Agents: Everybody's Favorite Weapon - PopMatters Music Review
Currently filling the spot behind the keyboards in the Mars Volta, Owens was also a member of ska-punkers Sublime and has done session work with funk legend Shuggie Otis and roots reggae act Wailing Souls.
While all these styles could be unified into something compelling, Owens and company fail to move cohesively from style to style, creating a listening experience both confounding and jarring.
While Owens has cut his teeth with some legendary artists, he and co-writer Jeff Harris have yet to develop their own songwriting.

 Free Moral Agents (Everybody's Favorite Weapon) mxdwn.com review by Steve Mangione
If your day job is working for spastic rockers The Mars Volta, one would imagine that you would need to chill out and unwind a little in your free time.
When not jamming with the MV or one of his many other collaborations, Owens finds time to explore more laid back, jazzy hip-hop influenced jams with his project Free Moral Agents.
Owens doesn't spend much time trying to compose verse-chorus-verse song structures, instead focusing on weaving together his many influences to create a solid album experience instead of just a collection of songs.

 The Black Gospel Blog: March 2005
Owens is cut straight from the guitar evangelist mold, with his emotional exhortation and wandering, ad hoc electric guitar work.
You Without Sin captures Owens performing for Ann Talbert’s Cheerful Angels broadcast on Montgomery’s WMGY, providing a glimpse of the local color of small AM radio stations, a color rapidly fading in the face of corporate conglomeration and satellite radio.
Talbert, who passed away in 2004, is present on some of the tracks, all but one recorded between 2000 and 2001, singing with and otherwise encouraging Owens forward with his testimony.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Isaiah Owens: You Without Sin Cast the First Stone
Gospel singer/guitarist Isaiah Owens sings powerfully, from the gut, with rough-hewn passion aplenty.
His music may not be conventionally pretty listening, and this recording could have used better source tapes, but You Without Sin is often moving despite its cosmetic flaws.
In some ways, their obstinate and even aggressive demeanor is a necessary counterweight to Owens's powerful blues shout.

Show that person Isaiah Owens, a seventy-two year old man of the church.
This is his first album, and it’s only him (and God) guiding the guitar and vocals and Ann Colbert lending vocals and testimony.
Strictly speaking it’s a gospel album, although I imagine most gospel-leaning fans would be puzzled by it – the sound is muddy, and Owens’ guitar playing messy, sometimes jarring.
