Hit: 5 Stars
If you are one of the fortunate people who have seen Tony Futado play slide guitar and banjo, then this CD is a must have for you collection. If you have never heard Tony, this is a great place to start. It takes a lot of courage to walk on to a stage alone armed only with acoustic instuments, and I can think of no one who does it as well as Tony does here. The "Angry Monk", "St John's Fire" and "Berta" all crackle with energy. Tony's cover of "Runnin' Down the Dream" is inventive and inspiring. This CD is exactly what Tony's fans have been asking for. Roots music stripped down to its "Bare Bones."
Bare Bones Poster
At the urging of his fans, Furtado recorded his solo acoustic shows across the country and put together this much awaited live album. A phenomenal player of slide guitar and banjo, Furtado gained critical acclaim for the 2004 release, "These Chains". "Bare Bones" shows another side of a constantly evolving and composite artist. He's joined by Memphis powerhouse singer Susan Marshall on one track.Although he started his career as an award-winning banjo player, Tony Furtado has largely abandoned both that instrument and his bluegrass roots. Instead, he's focused on playing the guitar, composing, and singing, carving a distinctive niche of folk/blues originals and covers that resonate with agile picking and dusky vocals. His second live album is, as its title suggests, a solo affair that cherry-picks from his catalog and adds newly recorded, imaginatively rearranged covers of Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream" and the Beatles' "I Will."
With a playing style that shows the influence of Ry Cooder, Leo Kottke, and Jorma Kaukonen, Furtado's nimble fingers show a jaw-dropping proficiency on his instrument. But even at his most flashy, he never lets his impressive technical prowess detract from the introspective, often poignant songs such as the heartbreaking instrumental "Can You Hear the Rain" and the traditional folk of "False Hearted Lover's Blues." Furtado kicks up his slide on a raging and passionate version of the old prison work song "Oh Berta, Berta" and a dizzying "Cypress Grove Blues." The exquisite recording quality of this live document brings clarity to every note as Furtado weaves his web of folk magic and mystery with chilling and hypnotic intensity. --Hal Horowitz
