Synopsis

Album Description

Andrew Calhoun's tenth recording is a return to the songs of his youth, with all but two tracks written before the age of 20. All tracks are studio "take ones", solo voice and guitar, from a session in Portland in August, 2004 and another at Bruce Roper's studio in Chicago in March, 2005. Andrew first saw the cover art - JMW Turner's painting "Goethe's Theory: Light and Colour - Moses Writing the 10 Commandments - Morning After the Deluge" - at the Tate Gallery in London, summer 1977.

CD Reviews

Pure and radiant beauty

Max G. Bernard | Chicago | 12/13/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I had the rare privilege of hearing Andrew Calhoun's performances at various venues in Chicago in those very early days at places like the Earl of Old Town and Somebody Else's Troubles at open mike nights, and a few other places. brilliant and beautiful. pure and radiant beauty. utterly amazing. The only real problem with this CD is it is too short. What I wouldn't give to have it be more like 4 or 5 CDs from that time...

Thank you Andrew"
