OSSO BUCCO

Recorded in Barcelona, Winter 2003. After many a late night/early mornings spent wide eyed and bushy tailed in front of the laptop, it came to me. I had been listening to folk music to get me through my annual winter hibernation. Folks like Jackson C. Frank, Nico, Tim Buckley, Donovan, Simon and Garfunkel, Collin Blunstone, Al Stewart, John Fahey, Bert Jansch, Kris Kristofferson, who along with Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, jr. and Willie Nelson made the crossover from Country to Folk many times over. I realized it was my duty to pay tribute to the folk pioneers. I heard chords, riffs, melodies and broke them down into textures, and processed these sounds creating sad, melancholy and hopeful minimalistic, ambient compositions with a touch of the folk aesthetic. Let these songs keep you warm.
