Henry, Joe (w/ Bill Frisell)
Civilians
|
Folks--this album is worth every cent for the contributions of guitarist Bill Frisell and legendary Van Dyke Parks on piano, but truly, the real story here is that Joe Henry may be the best songwriter we have now. One of the great records-my highest recommendation-and be sure to check out Mary Gauthier's latest Joe Henry produced CD, Between Daylight and Dark.SB............................................................ Since the release of 2003's acclaimed TINY VOICES, singer/songwriter Henry has appeared mainly as a producer, working on career defining releases by
Aimee Mann, Ani Difranco, Solomon Burke,Bette Lavette and most recently as producer and co-writer of STRANGE WEIRDOS (with Loudon Wainwright), the soundtrack
to the film KNOCKED UP. Working with this generation's finest songwriters inspired Joe to his strongest set of songs on CIVILIANS; songs of new warmth
and directness and a bold sense of melody that rides atop the cutting edge arrangements he's known for. Features legendary pianist/songwriter Van Dyke
Parks and jazz guitar pioneer Bill Frisell.--AMPed----------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Civilians - (with Bill Frisell/Van Dyke Parks)
