About this item

Product Description From his previous recordings, you may be familiar with Tony as a brilliant, young banjo player with a gifted technique. Adding slide guitar and resophonic instruments to his musical collage, Tony has captured a clarity of style reminiscent of Ry Cooder. Melodic, spacious, dynamic and full of life, this recording will mark Tony as a leader and definitive player for the next generation. With special guests: Mike Marshall, Todd Phillips, Brain, Kelly Joe Phelps, Stuart Duncan and Aaron Johnston. This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. Amazon.com On Roll My Blues Away, Tony Furtado combines his bluegrass banjo past and his slide-guitar blues future with a haunting, spare elegance that marks this as a superior acoustic-instrumental. Like Fleck and Cooder, Furtado has learned that the liberation of acoustic music lies not in playing more notes faster but in playing fewer notes with more feeling. On this album's 10 original instrumentals and two traditional songs, the arrangements are stripped down to focus on the strong melodies. His guitar sounds weary but content on the lovely Tex-Mex ballad, "Song for Early"; his banjo evokes the prickly dissatisfaction of the slow blues, "Willow Tree"; he plays both guitar and banjo on the nervous, restless tune, "The Stark Raven." --Geoffrey Himes
