Arthur Russell's music was a unique blend, from disco to folk. His late - career work spanned synthpop, folk, and country. 'Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell' is a tribute album where musicians from all genres cover 26 of his songs. The results are full of surprises. Jose Gonzales starts with a spacey 'This Is How We Walk On The Moon'. Lonnie Holley's keyboard brings magic to 'Soon - To - Be Innocent Fun'. Robyn offers a faithful cover of 'Tell You (Today)', and Hot Chip reworks 'Go Bang' in an idiosyncratic way. The compilation has a mix of Russell's softer and upbeat music. Highlights include Rubblebucket and Nitemoves' take on 'Eli', Phosphorescent's soothing 'You Can Make Me Feel Bad', and Blood Orange's hypnotic tracks. All covers show empathy and tenderness unique to Russell's music. Music label: Yep Roc Records 2014. Reviewed by Michu Meszaros 12/2014.
