- lane steinberg: passion & faith
(2010, cd, usa, transparency 0326)
Let's kick off the new year with an album that got released earlier last year.
You might have come across Lane Steinberg's name in this very blog when I was rather enthousiastic about the "Cracked Latin" album. With Cracked Latin, Lane Steinberg and Luis Accorsi made a perfect mix of Latin music and psychedelic elements. Great fun, and beautiful.
Lane Steinberg's "Passion & Faith" is also out on the Transparency label and got released around the same time. On "Passion & Faith", we get to view the incredible musical skills of Lane. The album presents a fine collection of great, catchy pop tunes. There's elements of sixties pop and rock, cajun, jazz, and lots more. And besides the beautiful tunes, the album also displays Lane's talent as a guitar player.
Beautiful songs, excellent musicianship and impressive arrangements & productions.
As an unexpected surprise, the album also contains a 'heavy rock' version of Antonio Carlos Jobim's 'How Insensitive', plus a 20-minute plus version of the Dead's 'Dark Star'.
Let this be your first discovery of 2011.
