David Greenberger reviews the new CD from the Chicago band The Pinetop Seven -- the CD is called Bringing Home the Last Great Strike. {The Pinetop Seven has been around for five years, and has had several changes in its line-up since then. But the core sound of the band -- quirky instrumentation, drawn on varied musical traditions -- remains the same, thanks to Darren Richard, who has written all the songs, and sings them. The band's music is full of juxtepositions -- intimate and vast, richly layered and stark -- and Greenberger tells us the sound is timeless and utterly modern at once.} (3:00) Bringing Home the Last Great Strike, by The Pinetop Seven, is on Truckstop Records, from Chicago. The band's Web site is http://www.pinetopseven.com.
