Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch & Fats Kaplin - Kane Welch Kaplin
This third release by Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch and Fats Kaplin is yet another musically deep production from three seasoned performers. Featuring new songs from Kane and Welch along with empathic support from multi-instrumentalist Kaplin (electric sitar, accordian, fiddle, steel guitar, electric and acoustic guitar), this disc is filled with sweet melodies and thoughtful lyrics. And Kane�s haunting banjo permeates the disc as well, lending another interesting voice, especially when paired with Kaplin�s steel guitar on �Red Light Blinking� and electric sitar on �Highland Mary.�
This is between�the�cracks music; it isn�t just country or bluegrass or folk or blues, it�s all of the above and more. The music, like the three musicians making the music, adds up to far more than the sum of its parts. Kind of like the Elgin sausage sandwich with pickles in the buttered and toasted just-right bun I had at Hoover�s in Austin. Both cd and sandwich are highly recommended.
