Vermont Resurrection - Spencer Lewis CD

Product Description A title inspired by Hurricane Irene and Vermonts collective soul, Vermont Resurrection is a folk-rock tour de force. Working seamlessly within the framework of Lewis signature layered violins and cross flat-picking sound is Jeff Berlins instinctive drumming and Scott Paulsons lyrical electric bass. Guest artists include Bow Thayer (Perfect Train Wreck, Holy Plow) on banjo & electric guitar; Kristina Stykos (Kristina Stykos, Holy Plow) on mandola; Vermonts first keyboardist Chas Eller (Killamanjaro) on Hammond B-3 organ. VR offers the best in impressionistic folk rock and represents another new chapter in Lewis melodic song cycles. Review The album opens with the sublimely ethereal Dreams. Lewis violin arcs and bows over a rippling cadence of acoustic guitar and shuffling drums. Its not hard to picture dawn breaking over some typically serene Vermont scene - perhaps rolling farmland, or a babbling mountain stream. It is soothing and refreshing, like that first cool breath of air on a crisp fall morning. --Dan Bolles, Seven DaysBelieving sets about the task of picking up the pieces. It is bright and upbeat, implying the promise of better days over a driving rock beat with a swirling Hammond B-3 organ and and Lewis exultant violin. --Dan Bolles, Seven DaysOminous clouds gather on the horizon during Break the Fall. The song builds from a breezy acoustic guitar and violin duet into a dark maelstrom, gusting with menacing distortion guitar sustains. On September One, the fury relents. It is beautiful and, at just under 90 seconds, fleeting. A lone acoustic guitar meanders as if quietly marveling at the storms incomprehensible carnage. For all its terrible brutality, there was something awe inspiring about the sheer force of Irene. --Dan Bolles, Seven Days
