Editorial Reviews
Product Description
NPR’s All Things Considered observed that Clothesline Revival’s first cd, Of My Native Land was "on to something special by re-inventing the roots genre known as Americana". The group's second release, Long Gone, continues with that re-invention, working entirely with archival field recordings collected throughout the US in the middle of the last century. Arranger and producer, Conrad Praetzel, combines previously recorded a cappella vocals, from blues tunes, ballads, spirituals, skipping rhymes and work songs, with maverick musical treatments, beats and live roots instrumentation. Joined again by his long time musical partner and guitarist, Robert Powell, the results are captivating, untamed, off-beat and deeply moving.
This is the sixth cd Conrad Praetzel has arranged and produced. Lucinda Williams lists Receive as one of her favorites on her web site and and on Amazon.com.
