Mike Barnett - Portraits In Fiddles (Deluxe Edition) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2020 . A fiddle prodigy who received a Grammy nod for his 2017 Compass Records , Portraits In Fiddles, Mike Barnett returns with an album of 14 duets he's titled +1. Though he's a Nashville native who became a professional player at a young age as part of Jesse McReynolds' band, Barnett can still be considered among the recent crop of breakout talent from the Boston roots music scene that produced the likes of Lake Street Dive, I'm With Her and The Deadly Gentlemen, a newgrass outfit where he held fiddle duties from 2011 to 2014. Now relocated to Nashville where he holds down fiddle duties as a member of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Barnett has been working on +1 over a period of four years. Drawing on the deep virtuostic talents of the album's cast of players, the tracks flow seamlessly from traditional American tunes to NewGrass with elements of Celtic music, pop and jazz tinged improvisation thrown in for good measure.

Adopting a collaborative approach for the recording of their third album, Death Bells have returned Between Here & Everywhere, an effort that captures the cross-section of Southern California's shadowy hidden interzones, outside of the lights and luxury.The record features nine new songs that represent Will Canning and Remy Veselis' continual growth, as well as accompaniment by an experienced cast of contributors on keys, strings, piano, and operatic backup vocals. Recorded with Colin Knight at Paradise Studios, and mixed by Mike Kriebel at Golden Beat, Between Here & Everywhere bristles with immediacy and emotion, with every element tactile, balanced, and elevated.Between Here & Everywhere sets out to map the potent mess of Los Angeles. Canning cites the InchvastnessInch of the band's adopted home as a constant muse, and much like the city itself, the album ebbs gradually from harrowing to hopeful over it's 35-minute runtime. The lyrics are categorized as Inchnarrative, but not autobiographical,Inch born of intrigue, intimacy, and a sense of Inchlooking outward.Inch From the highly-strung blast of InchHysteriaInch, to the hypnotic rhythms of InchLifespringInch, and the staunchly resonant hope displayed in InchLast DaysInch, InchSpace Without A NameInch and InchEternity StreetInch, Between Here & Everywhere encompasses Death Bells' most captivating work to date.

'The Boys of Dungeon Lane' is a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared, along with some newly inspired love songs, from one of the most culturally significant figures of our time.

Pressed on black vinyl. Includes 12-page lyric booklet and embossed cover artwork.
