ALBUM REVIEW - 2 Foot Yard
A few week’s ago I wrote a review for Leo Kottke’s One Guitar, No Vocal and it was a short review, explained by the fact that there was really nothing to say about the recording. Well, the recording was amazing, but I was actually feeling lazy which was why the review was so short.
Now I am faced with reviewing 2 Foot Yard, featuring Carla Kihlstedt, Marika Hughes and Shahzad Ismaily, and I really am almost speechless. The recording was amazing to begin with and then I saw them live last weekend at the FlynnSpace in Burlington, VT and they were so incredibly amazing I can’t even tell you. I went with 7 people, all very smart knowledable and cool and all with very different tastes and all capable of very strong and unwavering opinions and we all unequivocally LOVED it!
This CD is a must have in ANYONE’S collection. You must own it and you must listen. There will be moments of oddity but you will love it.
Now I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have one critique and that would be that Carla’s vocals are way over produced and perfect and could be much freer and open allowing for the raw energy that pours out of her throat live to shine through.
I am going to listen to it again.
Gaito says: Buy this CD now! Go find a concert where these folks are playing and see it NOW! Amazing!
