Savocha's Best Yet........2005-09-01
I first found Savocha on the Being Driftless CD. A tribute to Greg Brown (folk songwriter/singer) featuring various known and unknown women singing Brown's songs. One of the last 3 (the last 3 are my favorites) was Savocha doing Two Little Feet. That led to me finding this CD on her website. I have owned it and loved it for a couple of years. Friends have enjoyed it and like me, wonder why she remains unknown.
I have picked up the rest of her available cds also. In my opinion, this one is her best to date. It has the most consistant writing and performances. Though the others have many high points as well.
Savocha's voice is a marvel. Deeply emotive, with an edgy rasp, which she uses to concoct the overtones (simultaneous multitones) mentioned by another reviewer.
Pete's multiple guitar layers, drive the songs with a vast array of rhythmns and a wide ranging palette of tones.
I only give it 4 of 5 stars, because I think that 5 stars should only apply to truly classic all time recordings. Otherwise the rating system loses all meaning.
What these two have come up with is of excellent quality all the way around. That they have managed it independantly, with what must be a small budget is most impressive.
They desreve an audience. You deserve to be a part of it. Do everyone a favor. Buy it and play it for your friends.
Cheer yourself up, buy this CD!.......2004-02-09
This is the CD I play when my spirits need lifting. My soul just soaks it up and I start feeling good again. Try it, you'll love it!
A fabulous CD.......2003-12-24
This is a fabulous album by a very talented husband and wife pair. To my knowldege it has not previously been available on-line and getting copies of their home-based work required some leg-work (either shopping or festival hopping). Anyone who has seen Pete and Karen perform will agree that they are a force of nature--Pete with his mastery of the guitar "wall of sound" and Karen with her hand percussion and overtone-capable voice (with which she will sometimes make chords of two or three notes). They will literally fill the room and enchant the audience. With this CD the room they will fill can be your living room! This is one of my favorite CDs that gets a lot of play. (I'm only looking it up here now because I'm daydreaming at work and needed to consult a track list for a video project I'm doing at home.)
