| | River Cow Orchestra Emerging CD River Cow Orchestra Discography of CDs
River Cow Orchestra was born on the banks of the Missouri River during a Brother Iota concert at Cooper\'s Landing outside Columbia, Missouri. We had enlisted our previous bass player, Don McCarter to fill in for our usual guitar player, Don Rolling,and we had added a violin player, Michael Lagrega. The band we were opening for, C3 also had several guys filling in for regular band members. Brent Bowman and I realized that in order to play regularly we were going to have to hook up with some new folks and start another project. Don R. was coping with a new baby and Ryan Jones, our regular bass player was having to travel quite a bit. So we decided that Brother Iota would continue on when its members were available to play as a band, but Brent and I would start, and he asked me for a name here, and I said River Cow Orchestra, because we\'d just seen an unfortunate bovine floating by in the flood stage river. So here we are with bass man Allan McGinty, trumpeter E. E. Pointer, keyboards, flute and sax man Brent Bowman, and me, Greg Field on drums and theremin. Every song on \"Emerging\" is totally improvisational--no charts allowed. It\'s a peculiar mix of fusion, rock, jazz, and experimental music that\'s raw and fresh and recorded live in the parking lot of the SGI Center off of Broadway in Kansas City, Missouri. I think if you listen to it you\'ll buy it. I did. River Cow Orchestra Emerging Songs | 1. | Cents, Ticks, And Flies |

This album, my third, is about how the way that one responds to life's challenges can affect the outcome of those challenges.We've all got those challenges, every day of our lives. I've had my own, the past few years - an extremely painful breakup, difficult days at work, even sitting in slow traffic and dealing with the maniacs whipping in and out between cars like a slalom course. And I've discovered that the best way to deal with the challenges is to remember that 'Going Coastal' beats 'going postal,' to take the occasional 'Mental Health Day,' to spend time around people who prefer seeing the 'Sunshine in the Rain,' to enjoy a little 'Raspberry Rum' with friends, and most important of all, to create the state of mind where 'Every Day's a Holiday. 'ABOUT THE SONGS:Every Day's a HolidayWhat does getting laid off mean to you? Is it a horrible problem, or a wonderful opportunity? The last time it happened to me, I chose to see it as the latter. Rather than sit at home and feel miserable and rejected and worry about where my next meal was coming from, I chose to see it as an 'extended vacation,' during which I didn't have to define who I was by my job title, and during which I could do pretty much anything I wanted to. I was much happier that way. I wasn't 'unemployed;' I had just found the place in my heart and mind in which every day is a holiday. Going CoastalHave you noticed how much higher people's average stress level seems to have gotten in recent years? Folks often don't give one another the benefit of the doubt anymore. People turn arguments into gunfights, cut each other off in traffic, and 'go postal' at the slightest provocation. I'd rather think that when the going gets tough, the tough Go Coastal. Clueless in Key LargoWhat would you do, if the Special Person in your life just said 'goodbye,' with no apparent warning? Would you cry? Would you rage? Would you wake up hungover in a strange hotel on an island somewhere? What would you do then?Yes, the boat used in the movie African Queen is docked in Key Largo harbor. Mental Health DayWho hasn't had days when the sun was shining and the beach beckoned, but you had to go to work? Who hasn't felt the temptation to just 'call in healthy' instead? I think we need to do it more often. 'Mental health days' are my favorite kind of workday, and when you call in, tell your boss I said it'll make you a more valuable and productive employee in the long run. Rainy Day in ParadiseWhat ...

In the five years since their last record, the duo of Erlend Oye and Erik Glambek Boe have each been busy, Oye with DJ gigs and his other band the Whitest Boy Alive, and Boe with his day job and fighting Clear Channel in their hometown of Bergen, Norway. Getting back into Kings of Convenience mode sounds like it was as easy as putting on a fresh pair of socks. Their third album, DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE, sounds like it could have been recorded at the same session as RIOT ON AN EMPTY STREET; it's just as relaxed, mellow, and dreamy. The pair's voices blend like honey and more honey, each of them possessing vocal chords made of cotton candy. They twine their voices around complex but warmer-than-a-Snuggie harmonies on every song; the comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel still hold up, though by now they really sound most like themselves, and not imitators. This album is sparser than the last; there are no guest vocals and very infrequent extra instruments (strings, piano). It gives the proceedings a very intimate sound, between this, the duo's hushed voices, and the peaceful songs, it's even quieter and more subdued than anything they've done so far. The mood of introspective reflection never breaks, and almost becomes unbearably powerful on a track like "My Ship Isn't Pretty." Boe and Oye pull no punches and spare no emotions, they are skilled veterans who know how to format and pace an album. The only thing the record lacks is a song as catchy as "I'd Rather Dance with You," or any songs with drums. It's not really a problem, though, since the overall effect ...
