Free Music Notes for Ghost Repeater

Free Music Review: Haunting and beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars

Saw Jeffrey yesterday over here in Holland in a very intimate concert. For sure not more than 100 people.

I was there to see Slaid Cleaves who would also perform. Jeffrey was the opener of the evening. During his performance I really wondered how it is possible that one man and only a guitar can keep an audience, at least me, listen in astonishment.

A pity he only performed for a bit over half an hour. Afterwards I purchased the Ghost Repeater cd which he signed for me.

I gave it a five star rating. I played the cd today I don't know how many times and it really grows on you and gets better every time you listen to it.

My favourites :

Ghost repeater
Americans in corduroys
I Dream an old lover
One for sorrow
Train to Jackson
One part love
Wild waste and welter
City flower
Tall grass in old virginny
Mesa, Arizona
Appeline

Yes I know I just listed all the songs. That's because I can't choose. Listen for yourself.

Ghost Repeater Poster

Holed up in Iowa City for the coldest week of the year, Jeffrey Foucault teamed with legendary blues guitar player and producer Bo Ramsey (Greg Brown, Lucinda Williams) to create Ghost Repeater, a country and blues album at the crossroads between love and lament, exploring the hopefulness of new love and the seasickness of contemporary American living.

Ghost Repeaters are empty radio stations scattered around the country to re-broadcast demographically tailored playlists, endless echoes of American market culture, from thousands of miles away. Epidemic sameness, big-box stores, and the retail news cycle of ghost prisoners and God on Our Side create the context in which the songs on Ghost Repeater unfold a story of love and uncertainty.

Written over the course of a year in which Foucault married, Ghost Repeater juxtaposes a personal narrative of hope and joyfulness against the wider story of the times, in a series of travelogues and dreamscapes. Words like bloom and fade, truth and mercy, dream and memory recur through the album to create a sort of grammar, a palette of colors that Foucault and Ramsey merge with dark washes of electric guitar and vocals hushed or plaintive, in a visionary portrait of modern Americana.

It?s a natural pairing ? Ramsey?s cool economy of phrase the perfect compliment to Foucault?s elegant lines and weatherbeaten drawl ? and the recording itself something of a homecoming, with Foucault traveling back to the Midwest from Massachusetts where he?s lived the past few years, and bringing the songs he?d written home to record them with Ramsey?s longtime collaborators.

In addition to Bo Ramsey?s inimitable sound Foucault has the backing of Rick Cicalo and Steve Hayes (Greg Brown) on rhythm, along with special guest appearances by Iowa legend Dave Moore on harp and accordion, Eric Heywood (Son Volt, Richard Buckner) on pedal steel, and Kris Delmhorst on backing vocals.

Against the broadcast echoes of an America long gone, Foucault lays out the particulars of love in a country contending with its own ghost. In songs of love and empire, dream and memory, Ghost Repeater delivers the honesty of country, the rawboned desperation of blues, and the simplicity of folk to achieve a document that?s timeless and poignant.
