Free Music Review: River
Hit: 4 Stars
Of all Andrew's cds, River is my favorite. Shenandoah Moon is sweet and nostalgic. If you've ever been to one of his concerts, you know that Andrew's talent is in great storytelling, and this one tells a great story, about what lifelong love and friendship is supposed to look like. On the flipside, I Can't Understand the Moon is telling of those that just can't seem to get it right...Hoop Dreams and Last Call Waltz have a similar theme. Perhaps one is the vision, and the others the grim reality. Be that as it may, Andrew grasps the complexities of man's connection to nature just as thoroughly, and fellow elementary school teachers may find The Other Way to be a nice compliment to integrate with Lynne Cherry's A River Ran Wild.
Where This River Runs Poster
McKnight's second CD continues his literate exploration of America s back roads and small towns. Each of the 14 songs is set in a musical style and production that vividly evokes the scenery; the spooky swamp blues of "Chemical Voodoo" set along Cancer Alley on Louisiana's Mississippi Delta, the open Dakota prairies in "A Prairie Wind/Big Sky Town", or the evocative Saturday night dance at the Grange Hall in "Shenandoah Moon". Skillfully produced with original Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member Les Thompson, this album is rich with elegant harmony vocals and exquisite arrangements. Andrew's wry charm, signature acoustic guitar style, and rich warm vocals shine throughout. Other highlights include the a cappella title track, the lush "Bargeman", the elegant simplicity of "I Can't Understand the Moon", and the Americana drive of "A Town Called Progress". Guest harmony vocalists include Terri Allard, Laurie Rose Griffith and Tom Prasada-Rao, while regular Falling Mountain friends and family such as Ralph Gordon (bass, cello) and Chas Fowler (pipes, whistles) also contribute their talents.Folk Music CDs
