Synopsis

Album Description

Beautifully produced by Kevin Salem (Mercury Rev, Bad Brains, Chocolate Genius) and Knox Chandler (David Gahan, Siouxsie & the Banshees), Bethany Yarrow?s debut cd, ROCK ISLAND, mixes the gloss of pop production with banjos, dulcimers, harmonicas, slide guitars, gospel choirs, and the sampled ghosts of some of the great blues singers in America. In unexpected ways, the CD borrows from the deep river of American song and creates a gorgeous and totally contemporary sonic landscape with Bethany?s haunting voice at the forefront.

CD Reviews

Multi-talented and Great

John Morthanos | stratford, ct USA | 05/12/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like folk with a twist of a little Brigid Boden -- or maybe Carolyn LaVelle...you'll love Bethany Yarrow. She incorporates sounds that make them unique but places her high on the map of individual, skilled singer-songwriters.From classic folk interpretations with a driving beat to a warm duet with her dad, this is a must have album that you'll enjoy from the first listen for years to come.Buy it and you won't regret it!"

Amazed and Entertained

"My wife and I recently had the opportunity and honor to experience this wonderful bright light live at a non-smoking night club in Rock Springs, Wyoming; "Johnny Mac's". We listened and marveled at the beautiful raw talent of a young and vivacious woman and 5 string gifted cellist "Rufus". A magical evening filled with rythmic darkness, myth and hopeful enlightenment. The evolving talent and gifts of prior generations continues to grow as the dauthter of the voice who brought many of us to this place speaks new and refreshing old wisdom. If you miss this opportunity to grow deeper into the mystery of life and death, it's your choice. Ours was to embrace it and we're grateful for it. May you risk to try it, simpy savor and enjoy it."
