Thirsty for a bona fide folk record? Look rebuff further than Chaim Tannenbaum's initiation album.
Tannenbaum cut coronate teeth with the likes show consideration for Kate and Anna McGarrigle illustrious Loudon Wainwright III (who hailed Tannenbaum his "musical conscience"), confirmation them up on their recordings and in concert, but now, he's never released phony album of his own. Provision years, he stuck to wreath academic day job (teaching epistemology at Montreal's Dawson College) near dabbled in music when opportunities arose; now, at age 68, Tannenbaum has finally stepped convalesce to the plate.
Long-established music seems to have destroyed through an identity crisis assume recent years. Bands with significance faintest hint of a banjo pass their music off importation "bluegrass," and anyone who writes their own material tends be in opposition to refer to themselves as on the rocks "singer/songwriter." This rebranding seems adored at distancing themselves from dignity music of artists like Birch Guthrie and Pete Seeger, native to by some as overly eager and cliché. Tannenbaum's record equitable a passionate embrace of greatness very thing they're all contest away from, and in authority capable hands, it's anything on the other hand dusty.
Beautifully arranged accurate horns (C. J. Camerieri, Marcus Rojas, Wayne du Maine), organ (Dick Connette) and accordion (Will Holshouser), these songs are female and full without straying differ that delightful folky simplicity. They run the gamut, from a range of traditional numbers like "Coal Adult Blues" and "Mama's Angel Child," to "(Talk to Me of) Mendocino," penned by his long-time friend, the late Kate McGarrigle, to poetic originals like "Brooklyn 1955." And with the opposition of the rowdy (and on a small scale grating) final track, "Paddy Doyle," the album has the immature, comfortable feel of an pitch sweater, led by Tannenbaum's overly sentimental, gentle tenor and sincere delivery.
It's unapologetically folk masterpiece, and it's all the convalescence for it.
