Synopsis

Product Description
Take a listen to Kevin Connolly's new recording North/East and find out why critics have long championed this American singer/songwriter. With his ninth CD release, Kevin returns to a stripped down sound featuring a wide range of American roots influences and his talented band. Connolly has a way of combining blues, folk, country and Americana influences to create a sound that is distinctly his own. The subject matter on North/East comes from his back yard and includes songs about old mill towns ( Fall River ), fishing disasters ( Fishing Life ), battle roads ( Battle Roads ), and a car that will take you there ( Chevy Impala ). Ballads go deep in the story of a returning vet in Mass Ave , and mysteries prevail in Let s Say You Do and the swampy Living On The Street . Sole guest Dennis Brennan contributes blistering harp and backing vocals on the voyeuristic Window , while Chris Rival holds it altogether with his natural and warm production style. The ballad Evel Knievel was co-written by friend and well know sports author and biographer Leigh Montville, who is finishing on book on the late dare devil.
