Post Description

This recording is an example of one of those rare events -- a true collaboration of like-minded musicians, creating music that's really more than the sum of their individual highly skilled parts.

It's a follow-up to 2004's equally wonderful "You Can't Save Everybody". Where that recording was alternately delicate and robust, Lost John Dean has a tougher feel, with a live-from-the-floor ambience -- not surprising since it was recorded that way, no overdubs.

The instruments are the usual mix of acoustic guitars (occasionally electric), banjo, fiddle and button accordion. Arrangements are generally spare, often with driving rhythm. It's hard to categorize the music -- the CD will often be found in Country sections, maybe Americana, but it's firmly in the folk tradition, not remotely conventional Country. Welch is a southerner, Kane and Kaplin New Yorkers, but all are veteran musicians who have spent time in the Nashville trenches.

“This album wasn't made for multi-tasking.”
