A social commentary, with songs that tell stories related to observations of a specific point of time and place. One of the subtle messages in this project is that we are not just connected to, we are a part of the natural world. The spare production highlights the beauties of sound and voice. Caroline Quine and I sing together on several songs. Bill Watson plays both upright bass and bowed bass on a few tunes. Billy Lestock plays slide octave mandolin on "Climb," while Dave Pethel provided banjo for "In The Blink Of An Eye."
There are very few CDs remaining of this production. Email steve@madewellmusic.com and order one direct from me!
A fishing/conservation theme explored with both humor and introspection flows through my first recording. I wrote the title song with intentions of selling it to the National Parks Service Rivers and Trails Assistance Planning program. On a whim, I entered it into a songwriting contest sponsored by VH1 and was selected as one of the top four folk songs of the month. What a hoot! Several of the songs on this have been favorably reviewed outside of fishing camps. Honest.
There are very few physical CD's remaining. Email and I will send you a CD if available!
