Circle Like A Crown

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This is an excellent set from Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch & Fats Kaplin. Of the tracks on this set, the one that has me reach for the repeat button is "Postcards from Mexico." The call & response vocals between Kieran & Kevin are addictive, "Hands up in the night, Go to court, lose the fight, Got no consideration, guilty by association." "Mr. Bones" achieves a different sound with Fats Kaplin's oud on a full band arrangement, "Take the sun in one hand, child; Full moon in the other, Let the stars above our head circle like a crown." Some tracks slow the pace like the contemplative "Heaven Now" and the faith statement "I Can't Wait." "Lost John Dean" is an excellent Americana set from a group of people who obviously love playing together. Bravo!

Amazing music - excellent production - what a find!!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

A Best For 06

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I would call this Country Blues or Folk music. I give it my absolute recomendation. The musicianship is superb and the songwriting is very fine. Kiran Kane has a way with songs with loping country blues rythum. Kevin Welsh brings his compelling lyrics and stories. Fats Kaplin backs em up with the accordian. A must have for accoustic music fans!

Half An Ear

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I brought this CD home from a local library's CD collection on pure speculation. I had never heard of these guys. Listening first with my hands in the kitchen sink, every song caught my attention and I am happy to report I had to wash the dishes again because this album wasn't made for multi-tasking.
Each song stands out, unique and individual. It's an album full of country blues "hits" that can each stand on it's own. That's awesome stuff, in this or any era of recorded music. Fans of Americana, country, blues, singer-songwriter buy this. Money well spent. Highly recommended.

Organic second album from Americana trio

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: The second studio album from this trio (following 2004's "You Can't Save Everybody") is derived more from the chemistry of their combined stage performances than their individual studio dates. Recorded live-to-tape (vocals included!), the sparse arrangements and driving rhythms echo the audience-enticing sounds they create at music festivals. The organic feel of the album derives from the trio's studio methods, forgoing charted, practiced arrangements for the jazz-like creation of talented musicians who've developed a shared. The trio of Oklahoma-born Welch and New York bred Kane and Kaplin, could loosely be categorized as Americana, with a rootsy country underpinning to their voices that's supported by a drumless, folk-styled presentation. The combination overwhelms you with the songs' power and the players' tasteful picking, rather than the volume or speed of the instrumentation. [©2006 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]
