Bryan's latest solo work, “Pictures and Families,” is a collection of 15 folk songs about life, death, travel, money, love, murder, cheating, and redemption – all the usual aspects of our time spent here on Earth. Recorded while living in Los Angeles, California, Bryan played all the instruments on the recording, from guitars and drums to tin flute and kitchen knives. The record travels from modern folk to hints of bluegrass, from Native American-inspired sounds to break beats on acoustic instruments. It is eclectic American Music with a troubadour's spirit, winding its way through old and new generations, up and down the western coast. The songs were all recorded in Bryan's living room. The CD was mixed and mastered by Dave Keefer at the Spare Room using Analysis Plus wire systems. ON MUSIC IN GENERAL... "I got stuck in a sand dune in the middle of the Mojave Desert once," Bryan tells. "I was alone, and my truck was waist-deep in sugar-fine sand. Running out of water, I hiked to a dilapidated desert shack with spent bomb shells out front, looking for help. Then over a hill came Junior, Paco (who held close a bottle of Cuervo), and an unnamed woman smoking cigarettes and talking like a sailor. I think music should be like that day in the desert. A great story, restless and rambling." Whether the song retells a California mishap, love lost and returned, or life out in the west, Bryan's music is an exploration. It is folk music in its truest sense - music about folks. |

"The best blues band in Moscow, Russia!" That's what I was told when I saw them on the list of bands for the 2004 Kettle River Blues Festival. When they got up and played, it all made sense. The crowd went nuts! The Cousins play a “turned up to the max” power trio version of the blues that rocks audiences from Europe to the USA. In their 13 years together, The Blues Cousins have been named the most popular blues band in Russia. In 2000 they were awarded “best band” among 57 bands at Blues Sur Seine Festival in France. The band’s leader, Levan Lomidze, has been officially named among the top 10 guitarists in Russia. During what was their second trip to the USA, I was given the opportunity to record the Blues Cousins. This recording comes from the 2004 Sunbanks Blues Festival, their last outdoor festival performance before returning home to Russia. What you see is one of their dreams come true. The Blues Cousins first CD recorded and produced in the United States of America. We home you enjoy it. -Dave Keefer Jazz Steam / Bluestopia Records |
