Hal Ketchum's new CD sounds, well, timeless

1036755.jpgIt's been way too long. Hal Ketchum's first stateside CD in five years reminds us what an intelligent, thoughtful and creative artist he is. Blending country with jazz, rockabilly with R&B and then throwing in a few tropical rhythms even, Father Time is that rare record that you can admire and also enjoy for its sheer musicality. Consisting mostly of songs from his own pen, with the one exception of a cover of Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl," the disc showcases his soulful voice as well as his guitar and banjo picking. Standouts abound but pay close attention to "Invisible," "Millionaire's Wife" and "Sparrow."

Recorded with all musicians in the studio at the same time live to 2 track, no overdubs, no protools, in 2 days. Most recorded in 1 take. Highly recommended!
