The cover of Every Sound Below notes that Tim Eriksen had something to do with the Cold Mountain soundtrack, but it's almost hard to believe that something so traditional would have been included in a commercially made Civil War melodrama. Be that as it may, Every Sound Below is so much of a throwback to yesteryear that one could almost take the "neo" out when describing Eriksen as a neo-traditionalist. After all, when compared to a happening guy like Tim O'Brien, Eriksen sounds as if he was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains and taught to shape-note sing at a local Primitive Baptist Church. Having said this, with rare exceptions -- like "Omie Wise" -- these old songs aren't overly familiar, and Eriksen's intense performance style brings an immediacy to traditional fare that drags it into the 21st century. In this way, his versions of "Friendship," with its accompanying fiddle, and "John Colby's Hymn," with its old-time banjo, remind one of Dirk Powell, another young lad who runs in neo-traditionalist circles. This method of interpreting older material may seem a bit strange, but it allows a musician to be true to the time-honored styles without mimicking them. For those more attuned to Alison Krauss and Sting's contributions to Cold Mountain, Every Sound Below will seem a bit rough-hewn. For those who like their roots music to actually have roots, however, Eriksen's lively interpretations will hit the spot. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Every Sound Below album
 $11.99 
After ten years or so of performing with Cordelia's Dad, Tim Eriksen has released his self-titled debut. The first thing an old fan will notice is the bareness of the arrangements, with Eriksen accompanying himself on guitar, fiddle, banjo, and guitar with no overdubs. Infused with old-time fiddle and vocals, songs like "Hick's Farewell" and "Garden Hymn" are well founded in traditional Appalachian folk. Eriksen's vocal and guitar work is mesmerizing on the nearly seven-minute "Brown Girl," a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and murder. Part of what makes this song, and others, like "I Wish the Wars Were All Over," so successful is the deliberate pacing. The interplay between guitar and voice creates a measured tension in the ...
| | Steve Earle Jerusalem CD (2002)
Every Sound Below CD music
$14.29   
JERUSALEM was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
For a singer-songwriter who proclaims himself "somewhat to the left of Mao" it's no surprise that Steve Earle has drawn the ire of the right for challenging the status quo, particularly around the one-year anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks. The bone of conention on his 2002 outing JERUSALEM is "John Walker's Blues," a moody, mid-tempo number that attempts to explore the reasoning behind "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh's ...
| | Dulcie Taylor Mirrors & Windows CD (2004)
Every Sound Below music CDs
$14.29
One of the things that sinks many a singer/songwriter is that they fail to tie their word poems to a musical vision and good melodies. And while nothing is wrong with literary songwriting, an occasional hook, or catchy chorus goes a long way toward keeping the listener awake. Dulcie Taylor, like any singer/songwriter worth his/her salt, has something to say about relationships and understanding ourselves, but she doesn't forget to add some interesting ingredients into the musical stew. A slow, bluesy guitar; ethereal background vocals; and a hollow drum add just the right atmospheric touch to the mysterious "Woman I Used to Be." On "Maybe" -- one of the album's strongest tracks -- Duke ...

| | Richard Thompson Live From Austin TX CD (2005) Digipak
Every Sound Below CD music
$12.15
There are few more reliable live performers than Richard Thompson, who never fails to impress on-stage in any context, and in recent years Thompson has been issuing a steady stream of live recordings (available through his website and at live shows), finally filling a void that bootleggers had been attempting to satisfy for some time. Live from Austin, TX is a slightly different animal than most of Thompson's self-released live offerings -- while many of Thompson's live offerings were culled from several dates from the same tour, this is a direct audio recording of the set he played at a taping for the great PBS music series Austin City Limits ...
| | Howie B Folk CD (2001)
Every Sound Below music CDs
$10.49
FOLK is a 2001 release from British trip-hop musician/producer Howie B., including "Watermelon Sugar" and "All This Means To Me."
Folk, the album on which Howie B doesn't go for the electro gusto and channels his energy into outward bound gear, seeking the organic, the international, the mysterious, and the mental is a more curious affair than anything he's issued previously. Essentially, it is a slew of disparate stories from a musical burn case who keeps one of his personalities focused firmly on the mixing deck and the other fluidly appearing and disappearing in space -- outer and inner. Folk is still very much a human record, maybe even more so than Music for Babies or Turn the Dark Off, in that it is far more intimate. Fans of the cozy Howie B will dig the hell out of "Making Love on Your Side," the album's opening track, with it's glistening, noir-ish gypsy blues ambience, or the over-the-edge desperate love song with Robbie Robertson on "All This Means to Me." Here, as Roberston makes an actual attempt to sing his part, Howie goes for a greasy little trip-hop groove that is ...
