Curtis Harvey- Box of Stones (CD)
From the first, Curtis Harvey's solo debut reveals itself as quite a departure for the man best known until now as the prodigious multi-instrumentalist behind Rex (Southern) and Pullman (Thrill Jockey). Box of Stones certainly pledges allegiance to the acoustic-folk mode and embraces traditional song structures, but stylistic permutations shine throughout: From dark campfire sing-along "Seen," to bright, Fahey-esque instrumental "Nod," to the driving carnival blues of album closer "Bad Patch."
Tracklist:
- Oldertoo
- Borrowed Time
- Seen
- Words
- Bag of Seeds
- Nod
- Across the Sea
- Medicine
- March into the Sun
- Joking
- On Top
- Bad Parch
