Search - Arthur Lee Land :: Dragonfly

Arthur Lee Land combines diverse influences into a style that is entirely unique: Afrograss Folk Rock. Arthur?s new 13-song CD Dragonfly is produced by Grammy Award Nominated songwriter and producer Wendy Waldman (Save The Best For Last, Fishin? In The Dark, John Cowan, New Grass Revival) and features songs co-written with his wife and lyricist Carol Lee. This all-acoustic album gives birth to a new genre, layering West African percussion under some of the finest acoustic musicianship around -- all tastefully encapsulated into infectious original songwriting. Dragonfly announces the arrival of a genuinely innovative voice onto the contemporary music scene. Dragonfly features Arthur Lee Land on lead vocals and all guitars; Joe Craven (David Grisman Quintet, Garcia/Grisman) on mandolin, fiddle and percussion; Mark Diamond (Big Swing Trio) on acoustic bass; Scott Babcock (Karla Bonoff) on drums and percussion; Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident) on djembe/congas; Herb Pederson (Old and In The Grey, Chris Hillman) on banjo; Greg Liesz (Joni Mitchell, K.D. Lang, Bill Frisell) on dobro; Kenny Edwards (Linda Ronstadt, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks) and Wendy Waldman on background vocals. A listening tour through Dragonfly offers a bright new musical journey, not simply a CD with one or two good songs and a bunch of filler. You?ll want to listen to it straight through -- and then again and again.
