“You don’t find much rock that features the Fender Rhodes electric piano these days, but its warm, ringing sound is perfect for Mr. Smith’s easygoing, soulful music, which calls to mind J.J. Cale, […]

REVIEWS

“Rinde Eckert is a strong male vocalist, and the style and sentiment of his songs are drawn from the inner strength of white steepled churches, the heroism of social revolutionaries, and the chivalry of a knight. “I Will Shelter You” is a powerhouse of a you-can-lean-on-me ballad. “Lullaby” is a dynamic appeal to keep our sons from guns. Though much of the music is rooted in solid choral structures, “Roll on Green River” builds with rock ‘n’ roll chaos, where even still […]

“Three Days In The Sun … is a slow, sultry exploration of blues and the American west, tinged with an eastern ethic that never comes too close to the surface.Four Songs Lost In a Wall … is as dark and strange a piece as Eckert has ever done.”

REVIEWS

“Argentine singer and songwriter Gabriela has a divine voice: soulful, earthy – no, downright sexy would best describe it. … The songs are a blend of surface simplicity masking a deeper, more complex whole that creeps up in strange and beautiful ways; Gabriela’s voice is urgent and slightly smokey, drifting on top of music that is never insistent and impossible to ignore.” – CMJ New Music Report

REVIEWS

“Gabriela’s second collaboration with guitarist extraordinaire Bill Frisell proves to be even more joyous than her first, perhaps because these tracks have been carefully arranged instead of relying on the spontaneity of improvisation. The result is something that stands apart from folk, jazz, and the avant-garde, to occupy a beautiful field all its own. The poetry of Argentinian Gabriela’s lyrics (reproduced in both Spanish and English in the booklet) transcends most of what passes for words in songs to shine gorgeously, while the settings glimmer […]

REVIEWS

Producer Lee Townsend’s name on a record is usually a good sign. His work with guitarists – Charlie Hunter, Bill Frisell, and brilliant Will Bernard (whatever happened to him?) – has been of a consistently high standard and his helming of this ambitious music and spoken word project is spot on. There’s a beautiful clarity in the engineering, a sonic womb in which drums, guitars and voice are fluids that swirl amid an ever growing narrative […]
