Fans of Dolly Varden, Funeral Bonsai Wedding and Dawson's previous solo works will recognize the beautiful melodicism, brilliant craftsmanship and emotional depth expressed in the soulful balladry of \"Hard Time Friend\" and \"Forgiveness Is Nothing Like I Thought It Would Be,\" the folky reflections of \"The Spaces In Between,\" the sublime yearning of \"Beautiful Mathematics\" and the gentle dreamscape of \"We Are Walking in a Forest,\" a duet with Dolly Varden's Diane Christiansen. This is material that couldn't have been written at any other time in Dawson's life-and it addresses life in the here and now. His songwriting continues to grow in depth and lyricism while his voice has never sounded more rich or resonant. The album's twelve songs (plus two CD\/digital bonus tracks) tie together the American musical influences that span his life: the late 60's\/early 70's folk-rock of California, where he was born; the country music of Idaho, where he grew up; and the blues, gospel and soul of Chicago, where he has spent the bulk of his adult life.

Lucky Hand is Steve Dawson's first record of instrumental music since Rattlesnake Cage came out in 2014 and represents a high point of more than two decades of musical searching. Comprised of 10 instrumental tracks of solo, duo and full-bodied string works, Dawson has never released music as sweeping, dynamic and visually suggestive as this. Five of Lucky Hand's tracks feature his old partner Jesse Zubot's innovative string arrangements based on melodies suggested by Dawson's guitar. With Peggy Lee (cello), Jesse and his brother Josh Zubot (violins) and John Kastle (viola) - contributing to the session, the results are moody and intense, full of imagery and suggestion. As a producer and sideman, Steve spends a lot of his time in the studio capturing the essence of other top names in roots music, but it's when he turns his hand to composing and playing his own original material that he really shines. Recorded live off the floor, with several microphones used to capture the guitar and orchestration, this recording represents the perfect intersection of the primitive and the modern that has fascinated Dawson for so long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Circuit Rider of Pigeon Forge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bugscuffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bone Cave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bentonia Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Old Hickory Breakdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Harpeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lucky Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hollow Tree Gap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lonesome Ace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hale Road Revelation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Hen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006786822365,"sku":"803057034277","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3792909.jpg?v=1727206423"},{"product_id":"steve-dawson-gone-long-gone","title":"Steve Dawson- Gone, Long Gone (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve Dawson has always been hard to pin down.

The album is an instrumental release that explores some very deep and elusive musical territory. In many ways, \"Phantom Threshold\" resumes the musical conversations started in 'Telescope,' Steve's pedal steel-based instrumental album from 2008. The core band, dubbed 'The Telescope Three,' in reference to that release, is comprised of Jeremy Holmes (bass), Chris Gestrin (keyboards), and Jay Bellerose (drums\/percussion). The natural telepathy between the musicians can be heard throughout 'Phantom Threshold' as they cook up an enticing blend of textured string and keyboard sounds. Recorded with an array of vintage tube amps, Dawson's distinctive pedal steel sound is always in the forefront, vocalizing themes and defining parameters for the plethora of unusual instruments running from pump organ and accordion to the otherworldly marxophone (a kind of fretless zither played with hammers) and Moog synthesizer. Guest musicians include Daniel Lapp, who added some beautiful violin and cornet accents to 'Cozy Corner' and 'Tripledream,' and Fats Kaplin who played fiddle and banjo on the title track as well as accordion on 'The Waters Rise.' Even though 'Phantom Threshold' was recorded remotely, it expresses a spontaneity and looseness throughout as a well-developed group mind guides Dawson's melodic excursions into some very adventurous musical territory. The album has an expansive Paris, Texas era Ry Cooder feel, replete with a pulsing psychedelic undercurrent that makes the whole affair flow together like an imaginary collaboration between John Ford and Federico Fellini. Historically, string based instrumental albums have been a tough sell.They've got to engage, express a variety of moods and keep the listener coming back for more. 'Phantom Threshold' does all of this in spades. It is a triumph that plays to all of Steve Dawson's considerable strengths and is destined to become one of the most enduring records in his already impressive discography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCozy Corner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurnt End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwig Bucket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOl' Brushy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhantom Threshold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Waters Rise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Still Believe in Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripledream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLily's Resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's How It Goes in the Relax Lounge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhirlwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983938310365,"sku":"803057065325","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4099779-2836682.jpg?v=1762926377"},{"product_id":"steve-dawson-eyes-closed-dreaming","title":"Steve Dawson- Eyes Closed Dreaming (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Eyes Closed, Dreaming', the newest album from Steve Dawson is, without reservation, a pinnacle and career highlight for the Nashville-based Canadian musician.

It wasn't what I set out to do originally. I was getting ready to make a record that would feature a new batch of songs that I had been writing, but at the same time, I was learning the pedal steel guitar, and had been writing ensemble-based music that would feature that instrument. Rather than waiting and recording them separately, Dawson decided to put together a crack band and spend a few days in the studio getting the majority of both albums done at once. The idea was to create two completely different projects that tied together sonically and that shared a similar energy. Thought it would be interesting to have them both done in the same space at the same time, and by the same people. The musicians are players with whom he's been making a lot of records over the last few years. The band comprises Keith Lowe (Bill Frisell, Fiona Apple) on bass, Chris Gestrin (Randy Bachman, K-OS) on keyboards, and Scott Amendola (T.J. Kirk, Bill Frisell, Madeleine Peyroux) on drums. With musicians of this caliber, I knew that most of the magic would be happening quickly on early takes, even before the band was too comfortable with the new material. Dawson and the band set up shop in The Factory Studios in Vancouver and proceeded to record the bulk of the two records in about 5 days. Dawson took the tracks back to his Henhouse Studio to add overdubs, textures and sound manipulation. The result is a wonderful and arresting pair of new releases Waiting For the Lights To Come and Telescope?. Waiting For the Lights To Come Up This album was a natural progression for me. I toured quite a bit when my last album, We Belong to the Gold Coast came out in 2005. I did a lot of solo shows in Canada and Europe, and in that time I started writing new songs that I could perform on my own as well as with the band. While Steve's hypnotic fingerstyle guitar is still at the heart of the new material, it's the songs that are most prevalent on this recording. Drawing from his wealth of experience with blues, jazz, rock, old-school gospel and folk music of all kinds, Dawson creates a unique blend of sophisticated roots music as only he can. Polished, but leaving the edges a little rough. Contemporary, yet utilizing sounds and instruments that could have been recorded 60 years ago. The evocative lyrics and textural guitars paint an unforgettable picture in songs like Room To Room and Dry As Our Luck the twang of the baritone guitar underlies the foreboding At Arms Length, and Steve picked up his old $50 Silvertone guitar for the searing slide that takes us on a chaotic trip in Fire Somewhere. Dawson continues to explore the traditional side as well, always with a contemporary flair, or something to pull it slightly off in a new direction. He dusts off the Mississippi Sheiks Somebody's Got To Help You and burns it down with the band in tow. Hard To Get Gertie and Swinging In A Hammock offer a take on vintage Hawaiian music, although the addition of drums, pump organ, and several electric guitars skew the context just enough. Dawson is channeling his many influences here, but he has found a unique voice within it all that has truly begun to surface. The bulk of the new songs were written in a small period of time in between Steve's touring and recording projects. Dawson's production work has become sought-after for it's multi-instrumental abilities and intricacies, while keeping live performance at the root of most of his projects. Jim Byrnes, Kelly Joe Phelps, Jenny Whiteley, Old Man Luedecke, Ndidi Onukwulu, and Shuyler Jansen are just a few of the many artists who have sought out Dawson in the last few years to produce, record and develop their music, and his instrumental abilities have appeared on over 75 albums and onstage with renowned artists like Long John Baldry, Bob Brozman, Geoff Muldaur, Oh Susanna, Justin Rutledge, and many others. Dawson has been named Producer of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards and twice at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. He has produced 7 Juno nominated albums, and has 4 Juno Awards for albums that he has produced or on which he has been a featured musician. Dawson's unique production style, paired with his desire to create and experiment with sound has brought him to the forefront of the field. With this wealth of experience, Dawson has taken his recording experience to new heights with Waiting For The Lights To Come Up?. Slide guitars, pump organs, pedal steel, Wurlitzers, and baritone guitars all dance and sway through Dawson's strongest material to date. Dawson is undeniably talented at everything he does from the breadth of instrumentation to his surprisingly capable singing and his fine production. Now Magazine (Toronto) An uncommonly gifted finger-picker and slide player, Vancouver's Dawson could probably drop a guitar on your big toe, and you'd thank him because it sounded so good.

Lucky Hand is Steve Dawson's first record of instrumental music since Rattlesnake Cage came out in 2014 and represents a high point of more than two decades of musical searching. Comprised of 10 instrumental tracks of solo, duo and full-bodied string works, Dawson has never released music as sweeping, dynamic and visually suggestive as this. Five of Lucky Hand's tracks feature his old partner Jesse Zubot's innovative string arrangements based on melodies suggested by Dawson's guitar. With Peggy Lee (cello), Jesse and his brother Josh Zubot (violins) and John Kastle (viola) - contributing to the session, the results are moody and intense, full of imagery and suggestion. As a producer and sideman, Steve spends a lot of his time in the studio capturing the essence of other top names in roots music, but it's when he turns his hand to composing and playing his own original material that he really shines. Recorded live off the floor, with several microphones used to capture the guitar and orchestration, this recording represents the perfect intersection of the primitive and the modern that has fascinated Dawson for so long.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Circuit Rider of Pigeon Forge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBugscuffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Cave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentonia Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Hickory Breakdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Harpeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLucky Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHollow Tree Gap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonesome Ace 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHale Road Revelation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 803057034222\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Black Hen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032171069661,"sku":"803057034222","price":16.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3792908.jpg?v=1763401483"}],"url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/collections\/steve-dawson.oembed","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
