CD ReviewsA conjuring of wonderful images and colors Sor_Fingers | Boulder, CO USA | 05/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The melancholy, accordion tinged sound of the Tin Hat Trio vividly brings to mind one of my favorite films, Waking Life. The groups tango-seasoned jazz creates a colorful palate of sound for the listener to enjoy. The accordion sings, the violin sobs and the guitar sets a beautiful background for the two other melodic instruments. While these tree represent the main instruments in the trio, we hear everything from piano to dobro and even some low brass instruments on this album. The music weeps and spirals with emotion. The listener even gets a taste of some prepared piano and guitar with "Eliot Carter Family" which provides a striking contrast to the mellow piano and brass of the preceeding track "Osborne Avenue." Every track provides its own sense of color and emotion to the album.
The only qualm I have with the album is I would like to hear a little more melody and or soloing from the guitar. It primarily acts as a background instrument and while it is essential, the instrument tends to fade into the woodwork. Though, there is a little more six stringed exposure on the spirited "Things that might have been." Regardless of this, The colors and melodies served up by the Tin Hat Trio create a wonderful picture.
