Album Description
Something to Fall Back On - the second album by folk-rock favorites Berkley Hart is a dramatic and exciting departure from the group's previous effort. Recorded on nothing but vintage recording gear and instruments, Something to Fall Back On is reminiscent of Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, The Band's Music From Big Pink, and The Grateful Dead's American Beauty. The album's 13 songs are as sensitive as they are emotionally charged, and represent a unique sense of optimism and freedom. From the first opening chord of "Come On In," to the final breath of "My, My, My," the listener is placed in a virtual sonic time-machine. Songs like the country-driven "Red Eyed and Blue," the melancholy, yet hopeful "Everybody" and Joel Rafael's touching "Baby Won't You Let it Go," convey a driving sense of purpose and the notion that sometimes its ok to feel less than perfect. <P>As contemporary pop music becomes increasingly overshadowed by the recording tricks and gimmicks that digital technologies afford, it's incredibly refreshing to hear an album as organic and pure as this one. In short, Something to Fall Back On is an album that will stand the test of time. It allows the listener to capture a musical time period that is almost forgotten, and simultaneously reflect upon the ideas of two very contemporary songwriters. Says Berkley, "We want to respect and honor our roots, but in the end we're just five guys who love to play authentic, American Rock n Roll."Customer Reviews:
