Bryan Kelley's debut album "Charming the Gods", is a ten
song tapestry of modern folk-rock - edgy, with traditional
elements (acoustic guitar, fiddle, squeezebox, mandolin,
etc.) woven throughout.
From the angry gait of the featured song "She Crawls" to
the fresh optimism of "Angels" the album charts a wide range
of raw emotion. The title track is a beautiful lament over the
dark ritual of managing hard addiction.
Band credits include Bryan on vocals, acoustic and electric
guitars; Emanuel "Bucket" Baker (of Kenny Loggins, Boz
Skaggs) on drums and percussion; Alan Schwartz on bass;
and many other talented music makers. Produced by
innovator Chris Fuhrman (Ultrasound, co-produced
Innocence Mission, Cracker, and Throneberry).
Song clips and lyrics
"Listening
to Bryan Kelley's debut
effort Charming the Gods quickly makes
one think back to the days when 'alternative'
music meant something new and fresh rather
than just another narrow marketing term
used by record company executives...this is
as talented and professionally produced an album
as anything you'd expect to get from any of the
major music labels."
