Fingerprint
|
Tim and Jim take us further into their deep south blues/folk sound. Deep South Albert County, that is. Fingerprint is a pastoral work, with a delicious warmth and calmness. From their rural perch, the duo write about nature, family and their love of this life. The son in Popcorn is celebrated with a wide-eyed amazement at the bond a father feels. The rural roots of Rabbit Pie and Foggy Farm are something right out of the Band's canon, small town characters with real acoustic music to back up the stories. There's even a welcome return of a song first heard on IB&C's last disk. Shepody Bay is Tim Isaac's finest song, a beautiful ode to his home, and a lesson to any song writer: if you want inspiration, just look out your front door. Blues fans , what you first loved about the trio is still here. They revisit a couple of classics, Big Joe William's Highway 49, and Robert Johnson's Crossroads, complete with trademark cello weaving a new take on the blues. Issac's voice is calm and mellow, a cosy living room jam sound. |
