| | Matthew Hope Black Tea Nights CD Matthew Hope Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
"Black Tea Nights" is a true neo-folk effort, capturing the bittersweet mood of British and American singer-songwriters of the early 70’s. Matthew Hope keeps the music up to date with the inclusion of guitar drones and the ambient textures of keyboards and organic strings. The title track is immediately distinctive, its haunting vocals and catchy chorus being the obvious choice for a first single. Another highlight, “When I'm Gone”, seems a classic Americana ballad, enhanced by pedal steel. “The Woman I Love is Crazy” is a bouncy folk-rock ditty full of twanging guitars, recalling the Byrds at their most light hearted. Hope's unflinching embrace of the pop hook keep repeated listens of “Black Tea Nights” fresh and memorable. A worthy addition to any collection of contemporary folk music.Born and raised in the outskirts of Chicago, Matthew Hope absorbed many different musical traditions at a very young age. Music was central to his existence in a world full of sound but without sight. His exceptional sensitivity to the sonic world has given him a unique perception of the nuances of everyday experiences, which show up in his music as seemingly-familiar vividness. His music is the fusion of alternative sounds with the familiarity of nostalgic folk traditions. His breathy vocals and intricate acoustic guitar work recall a more hopeful Nick Drake or Elliott Smith.With one foot in the dark brooding sounds of the Minneapolis underground and the other obsessed with writing idealistically about life and love, Matthew has created a nostalgic sound that is not easily forgotten. Time and time again fans say that his voice draws them in. As he shifts from dark to light, from bitter to jubilant, from weary to enthusiastic, he seems to effortlessly keep his fans in anticipatory, bittersweet enchantment.Backed by a full band for the first time, Matthew’s lush arrangements blossomed in the studio and brought the nuances of his acoustic writing into a more marked, distinct forum; Matthew’s coffee-shop fans will certainly find great pleasure as his acoustic songs come to life on “Black Tea Nights”.Matthew is now based in Minneapolis where he has recently completed his first full-length album at Third Ear Studios.

"Give Me One Reason" won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. Tracy Chapman earned four additional Grammy nominations for NEW BEGINNING. "Give Me One Reason" was nominated for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, and the album was nominated for Best Pop Album.
What made Tracy Chapman's self-titled 1988 debut significant was her ability to bring the troubling stories of America's underbelly to an audience mostly removed from such problems, but eager to listen. Her supremely crafted songs quickly became anthems, making her the first popular African-American singer-songwriter to reach mega-stardom. Seven years later, Chapman's fourth album, NEW ...

Two electric sitars, flute, percussion, & the ethereal voices of three women, all blended into an alchemical potion of earthy mythology and deep grooves that will have you dancing while your soul takes flight. The Strangelings are Maura and Pete Kennedy, Chris Thompson, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson.Maura and Pete, who drive the band with their twin electric sitars and resonant vocals, are veterans of the folk and pop music scene. They both toured the United States and the British Isles as members of Nanci Griffith's Blue Moon Orchestra, appearing in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall and London's Royal Albert Hall. They were featured on a number of Nanci's CDs at the time, including the Grammy-winning "Other Voices, Other Rooms". Since establishing their own identity as performers, the Kennedys have released nine CDs, to critical acclaim. In Pete's hometown of Washington DC, they garnered over fifty WAMMY awards, before moving to New York City, where they became regulars at the legendary Bottom Line, and appeared for several years as cast members in the "Downtown Messiah", a hip re-imagining of Handel's masterpiece. Nowadays, the duo reside in Northampton, Massachusetts, and host an eclectic weekly radio show, "The Dharma Cafe" on Sirius Satellite Radio. They continue to tour the nation, both as a duo and as members of the Strangelings, performing at major venues including the Newport and Falcon Ridge Folk Festivals. In 1999, the Kennedys proudly accepted an invitation to become Artists-in-Residence at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson are, like the Kennedys, a husband-and-wife duo who have devoted their lives to their music, touring the nation from coast to coast, delighting audiences with their own brand of self-described "retro-folk". They share, with the other Strangelings, a love for the haunting, ancient ballads of the British Isles, and their Appalachian counterparts. Rebecca has a knack for writing songs that sound like legends, handed down for generations, and Ken's bass provides a solid foundation for the group's danceable grooves. Rebecca and Ken have shared stages with John Renbourn, Tom Rush, The Strawbs, and other folk greats. When they're not on the road, they relax ...

The rich folklore and history of this beautiful region has been passed along, orally, through plantation owners, Indians, former slaves, and others who have come to call the Grand Strand ‘home.’ Books have since taken the lead in bringing these stories to the masses, and now, ‘Ghosts and Legends’ returns some of the best tales back to the spoken word.Naturally, these ...
