Color Came One Day
Editorial Reviews
Cornelius, dj at KDVS, Davis, CA, June 2004
"I just got the new Chuck Brodsky in the mail last night and it is so damn beautiful."
Product Description
Brodsky's earthiest, and warmest, record to date...Brodsky's new album has plenty of his own finger-picked guitar prowess, and all the plain-speak Guthrie/pre-symbolist-Dylan narrative style that fans have come to count on. His writer's eye, typically unsentimental and often richly humorous, remains generous to a fault; he continues to spin tales of characters who've willingly wandered outside the margins, redefining humanity through simple acts of courage and grace: the young lovers shattered by mental illness ("Claire & Johnny"); the wandering "Goat Man," who couldn't work because of injury, but who wouldn't go on the dole; the old-time mountain doctor who made home visits on horseback ("Miracle in the Hills")...The album likewise boasts one of Brodsky's most beautiful compositions, "G-ddamned Blessed Road." The song contains the album's title line - which, for Brodsky, represents "the day of awakening in each of us, the day we see for ourselves." He's referring to both spiritual and social awareness, of viewing the world - including our political landscape - without blinders.
Brodsky's recent travels have increasingly immersed him in Celtic-music circles, a development that vastly informs his brand-new, self-released Color Came One Day. For starters, it's produced by fiddle master J.P. Cormier. In Cormier's youth, he was a staple bluegrass player at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. But since returning to his native Cape Breton, Novia Scotia, the multi-instrumentalist has become a beacon of Canada's Celtic-influenced maritime fiddle tradition.
Cormier is, in every sense, a utility player; on Color, he handles fiddle, bass, banjo, background vocals and more, helping to fashion Brodsky's earthiest, and warmest, record to date.
