Producer T Bone Burnett helps artists go forward by looking back.
When rock stars want to rediscover their musical roots - or their roots’ roots - they reach out to Burnett. It could be Elton John on the hunt for one more classic, ’70s-style singer/songwriter album. Or John Mellencamp searching for a long-gone sound pioneered decades before he was born. Or Elvis Costello trying to drown his modern English-ness in old Tennessee mud. The calls don’t stop.
But a few months back, Burnett was the one doing the dialing. Looking to raise money for music education in public schools, Burnett called in favors for Saturday’s Speaking Clock Revue at the Citi Wang Theatre. The charity show features an A-list of artists, many of whom Burnett’s produced: Elton John and Leon Russell (whose collaborative album comes out next week), John Mellencamp, Elvis Costello, Neko Case, Gregg Allman, Jeff Bridges, Ralph Stanley, the Punch Brothers and more.
“It is going to be a little crazy,” Burnett said with a chuckle from San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. “But everybody wanted in on this.”
Inspired by the release of Davis Guggenheim’s state-of-education documentary “Waiting for ‘Superman,’ ” Burnett’s fund-raiser will also play New York’s Beacon Theatre next week. He also hopes to bring the show on the road for a tour next year.
“This thing came together because everybody wants to play with this band,” he said. “This may be self-serving, I may be prejudiced, but I think this is the best band in the world.”
A bold statement. But when it comes to rocking roots music - old-school country, bluegrass, early Southern r & b - Burnett’s band has plenty of records to point to for proof.
His group - which features guitarist Marc Ribot, bassist Dennis Crouch, drummers Jim Keltner and Jay Bellerose and other studio aces - has its fingerprints all over Burnett’s productions in the last few years. In different incarnations the players pop up on Elton John and Leon Russell’s upcoming “The Union,” Costello’s “Secret, Profane & Sugarcane,” and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Grammy-winning “Raising Sand.” Perfect for a revue, the versatile set of players will serve as house band as the all-star cast wanders on and off stage.
“These guys will take the night from a very small sounding acoustic show to a very loud rock ’n’ roll show and then back,” Burnett said. “No set changes, just a community of musicians getting to play with each other without any narcissistic interruptions.”
It’s a show that follows Burnett’s recent career template, which has had no time lately for narcissistic interruptions. His solo work has mostly fallen to the wayside as he devotes more and more time to producing other artists and Hollywood film scores, including the Oscar-winning song, “The Weary Kind,” that he co-wrote for “Crazy Heart.”
But even as he releases fewer solo albums, his influence abounds. At the beginning of the decade, his soundtracks for “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “Cold Mountain” launched a return-to-roots-music trend. More recently, Burnett and his band stripped polish from artists like Mellencamp and Costello and helped them get in touch with their inner Woody Guthries, Robert Johnsons and Carter Families.
Or, as Burnett believes, the musicians he works with have already found these inner-roots artists. They’ve just been clever enough to get Burnett and his band to help them frame their new, rawer selves.
Next up is a Gregg Allman solo album due in 2011, his first in 14 years.
“It’s called ‘Low Country Blues’ and it shows off Gregg’s full power,” Burnett said. “He’s one of a handful of best blues singers ever and the idea was just to go in the studio and make a killer blues record. And he’s a killer and this band is a killer so it wasn’t all that hard.”
Just another artist he helped go forward by looking back. Allman returns Burnett’s favor at Saturday’s Speaking Clock Review, one of Allman’s first public experiences since his liver transplant last summer.
But don’t plan on seeing Allman belt out “Melissa” or Elton John do “Candle in the Wind.” Burnett and his band aren’t interested in rehashing classic rock. Instead, this revue is about recent Burnett productions: new classics that sound like old classics the minute they’re performed.
Speaking Clock Revue, at the Citi Wang Theatre, Saturday. Tickets: $45-$125; 617-482-9393.

Se presenta el cantante en Guanajuato, a beneficio de estudiantes sin recursos.
Quien no lo había visto en vivo, quedó prendado por su extrema sencillez en el escenario, y quien, ya había presenciado antes su show, se volvió a deleitar con las entrañables interpretaciones que Sir Elton John hizo de sus éxitos en su primera actuación en el Centro Fox
SAN CRISTÓBAL.- Anoche fue de gran fiesta, el día de los "manteles largos", en la comunidad del Pueblo de San Cristóbal, donde está ubicado el rancho del ex Presidente Vicente Fox.Los lugareños salieron para ver a los invitados y a los que pagaron boleto. Los que fueron al show, se pusieron sus mejores galas.A las 9:00 de la noche arrancó el espectáculo del ganador del Grammy, el Globo de Oro y el Óscar, luego de unos acordes de su pianista y de la intervención de sus otros seis músicos.
"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" fueron las composiciones con las que arrancó el recital que estaba contemplado que durara casi dos horas.
"Thank you very much. Muchas gracias. Gracias, México", expresó la estrella de la música, intercalando español e inglés, aunque concluyó la frase en su idioma natal.
"Es el primer concierto que he tocado en toda mi vida en un campo de brócolis. Me hace muy feliz poder participar en una causa como ésta".
Cantó "Levon" y, minutos después, "Tiny Dancer", que el cantautor de 63 años dedicó a todas las damas presentes y a Alessandra, una de las chicas de su equipo de producción, quien cumplía años.
Al principio del show, los promocionales en las dos pantallas distribuidas en los costados le recordaron a los asistentes que el dinero recaudado era para sustentar programas educativos para niños de escasos recursos.
El cantante cautivó con temas como "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" y "Rocket Man" a los 6 mil 500 asistentes que llenaron el lugar, cifra que proporcionaron los organizadores, quienes en ningún momento dejaron de rendirle pleitesía.
Sir Elton John portó un traje negro con su imagen bordada dentro de un cocodrilo, una camisa verde pistache y zapatos negros.
A diferencia de otros recitales que ha presentado al aire libre, como el de Chichén Itzá o el de Veracruz, ahora el artista trajo consigo una pantalla gigante de leds, que estuvo al centro del escenario y proyectó imágenes.
Moviendo las piernas y las manos, los asistentes combatieron el frío que azotó ayer, y que no impidió la presencia de los mosquitos.
Ya para cuando Elton iba a la mitad del espectáculo, con "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" y "Sacrifice", el público no dejaba de aplaudirle y de tomarle fotos con el celular.
Algunos sacaban a hurtadillas su cámara, ante las reprimendas del equipo de seguridad.
Casi todos los asistentes se vistieron de "pipa y guante" para el que los lugareños calificaron como el "evento del año". Ellas, de tacón alto, con vestidos de coctel y abrigos, bien peinadas y maquilladas.
Ellos, con saco y corbata e, incluso, algunos con esmoquin.

Pequeño pueblo del centro de México se engalanó para recibir a Elton John

La gente de este poblado agrícola de unos cuatro mil habitantes salió a las calles el viernes por la noche para admirar a unos 6.500 invitados que asistieron con sus mejores galas al concierto en el Centro Fox, un espacio de formación de líderes creado por el ex mandatario dentro de su propiedad.
"Es el primer concierto que he tocado en toda mi vida en un campo de brócolis. Me hace muy feliz", dijo Elton John ante los espectadores, publicó Reforma.
El músico, galardonado en 1994 con el Grammy y un Oscar, inició el recital con "Funeral para un amigo" y durante dos horas cantó sus éxitos, provocando el entusiasmo de los asistentes que lo acompañaron de pie en algunas interpretaciones.
Al término del concierto, Fox y su esposa Martha Sahagún le entregaron un regalo.
"Gracias por su apoyo, por su cariño", les respondió el músico británico, que para esta ocasión escogió un traje negro con su imagen bordada dentro de un cocodrilo y una camisa verde limón.

Elton John cantó a 6 mil 500 mexicanos
http://www.generaccion.com/noticia/81427/elton-john-cant-6-mil-500-mexicanosEl concierto se llevó a cabo en una plantación de brócoli del ex presidente Fox.
Sábado, 16 de octubre del 2010
"Es el primer concierto que en el que he tocado en un campo de brócolis", dijo el cantante motivado por el fuerte olor de esa verdura y, en medio del escenario, recibió como regalo una gran penca de la planta de manos de Fox y su esposa Martha Sahagún.
Los boletos del recital ofrecido la noche del viernes, costaron entre 115 y 633 dólares, y lo recaudado servirá para un fondo de becas del Centro Fox para niños de comunidades rurales de Guanajuato, centro de México.
Una polvareda, mosquitos e intenso frío en el rancho en la localidad de San Cristóbal no menguaron el ánimo del hombre show de 63 años que visitó de camisa verde y frac negro.
Con un concierto de 18 canciones que duró más de dos horas, el cantante británico sorprendió en el Centro Fox.

La presentación de la leyenda británica inició a las 21:00 horas y concluyó dos horas después, tiempo en el que interpretó 18 canciones, acompañado de toda su banda.
El "show" abrió con "Love lies bleeding", que calentó los ánimos y contrastó con el frío que se sintió anoche en San Cristóbal.
El artista egresado de la Real Academia de Música de Londres también cantó éxitos como "Saturday", "Sacrifice", "Crocodile rock" y "Are you ready for love", entre otros.
Para muchos fue una noche memorable. Elton, por su parte, agradeció a México por su aprecio y complació a los presentes con un recital que incluyó sus grandes "hits".
Políticos, empresarios y funcionarios públicos fueron algunos de los asistentes al concierto de Sir Elton Hercules Jhon, quien se ha convertido en un ídolo de los seguidores de la música pop de este país, quienes han podido verlo en el estadio Azteca (1992), el Castillo de Chapultepec (2001), el Colegio de las Vizcaínas (2009) y en fecha reciente en Yucatán.
Al finalizar el "show", el afamado artista recibió un reconocimiento del ex presidente de la República, Vicente Fox Quesada, quien estuvo acompañado de su esposa Marta Sahagún y de su nieto, a quien de cariño llaman Vicentillo.
