What music is all about.......2007-02-14

A classically trained musician, Garth Hudson brought his formidable musical skills and creativity to the world of rock as The Band's keyboard virtuoso, wind player, and arranger. In Live At The Wolf, Garth, on acoustic piano, and his wife, Maud, on voice, show how dazzlingly far beyond that earlier music their horizons now extend. Garth has said that his recent keyboard playing is better than any he did as a Band member. His improvisations, showcased here in three original piano pieces and his elegant song accompaniments, seamlessly combine jazz, roots, blues, and classical elements. In "International Medley," Garth adds patriotic tunes to this mix, and in "Concert Hora," he enriches his palette still further by performing a klezmer-like, Romanian folk dance melody on accordion. Amid all these diverse influences, one also senses in Garth's playing rock's sublime essence. Maud Hudson is a singer of flair, passion and wit, who beautifully synchronizes her rich and expressive voice with her husband's most ethereal phrasings. Together, the Hudsons have fashioned a new musical language that incorporates, yet stands apart from, all of the styles they explore.

Garth and Maud use this new language to make each of the album's song selections uniquely their own, from the early gospel "Stand By Me," to the sorrowful jazz standard "Willow Weep For Me," to the rock and roll classic, "Young Blood." They transform the lament for lost love "It Makes No Difference" into a heartfelt ode of remembrance for The Band's Rick Danko, the song's original vocalist. On Garth's impressionistic "Beyond the Breakers" (words by Eric Andersen), they wonderfully blend word and tone images of wind, water, color, and light. "The Weight" attains a sacred dimension when Garth prefaces this Band favorite with a 16th century hymn. Maud's excellent blues original, "You'll Be Thinkin'," packs buoyancy and verve. Her performance of Bob Dylan's "Blind Willie McTell" is stunning, as she speaks, sings, and whispers its words to summon ghosts of Southern slavery. Shining throughout every song are Garth and Maud's consummate artistry, gentleness of spirit, and love of music.

Live At the Wolf commemorates two significant dates. The September 2002 concert that it records was the first at London, Ontario's new Wolf Performance Hall, and also marks the beginning of the Hudsons' career as a performing duo. The CD's 2005 release celebrates Garth and Maud's 25th wedding anniversary.

This album is delightful and inexhaustible. You will never get tired of listening to it. In its understated way, it makes musical history.

Album Description

“Terry Kitchen is a master at the art of crafting beautiful, poetic prose.” -Doug Sloan, Metronome.

Right Now is the sixth solo album from award-winning contemporary folk singer-songwriter Terry Kitchen. While all acoustic based, the album incorporates sounds and song forms from country, bluegrass, rock, Brazilian, traditional folk, and street corner doo-wop, reflecting both Terry's growth as a songwriter and his willingness to take risks as an artist.

While his three previous albums were thematic (1999's blues for cain & abel, spirituality; 1997's blanket, family; 1995's I Own This Town, teenage independence), Right Now is an unbound collection of songs, and Kitchen uses the freedom to explore character and mood in new ways, from the tornado survivor of “Today I'm Gonna Laugh” to the sullen teen of “Tomorrowland,” from the lush harmonics of “Rain on the Roof” to the stark melody of “Bonny Lights of Cavendish.” Right Now also includes songs written for specific causes - “Garden in the City” (community gardening), “Peter Pan” (drunk driving), “Billy” (gay rights).

The title song “Right Now” won the Grand Prize of the 2000 Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, First Prize in the 2000 USA Songwriting Competition, and was Runner Up in the 2000 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. “Inside” has also been covered by country singer Dale Allaire.

On Right Now Kitchen's distinctive, gentle baritone and supple guitar playing are backed by some of New England's finest musicians, including John McGann (mandolin, Wayfaring Strangers), Seth Connelly (bass, Dobro), Alizon Lissance (keyboards, Lovedogs), Larry Finn (drums), Tim Obetz (pedal steel), and Brice Buchanan (lead guitar, from Terry's '80s rock band Loose Ties).

At over 60 minutes of playing time, Right Now is an expansive, multi-faceted album that may take a few listens to digest. But all those facets reflect Terry Kitchen - Right Now.
