This disc has already received repeat airplay on three continents, has had three songs from it included on four separate compilation/tribute CDs, and was selected Featured Album of the Week for the highly regarded program "Sisyphus Tracks" out of Nashville, TN.
The tune "Santa's Moving South" was lead song for the "Best of 2002" program of "Americana in Paris," and that song has been repeatedly played over the statewide network of Georgia Public Radio.
The song "We Spat Grape Hulls on the Hole" was praised by Kevin Oliver of "No Depression" magazine, and three songs from the album were in the Top 100 MP3.com songs of the Americana genre.
The quality and success of this album led to Dusk's single CD release "Colors," which was co-written with hitmaker Christopher Moon (he penned hits for Prince and M.C.Hammer), and to a full followup album entitled "Dedications & Dreams" which has just been released (see cdbaby.com/dusk2 or visit duskweaver.com for details).
*************************************** ALBUM DETAILS
The recipe for "DUSK":
Take equal and generous portions of keen insight, positive attitude, and good-natured humor.
Blend in a dozen varied musical styles, all highly listenable and melodic.
Combine with real-life stories of a songwriter who is comfortable being personal, like an old friend, and who is an award-winning author with an offbeat, uncanny command of language and lyric timing.
Add strong, clear lead vocals that Songwriting Hall of Fame artist Mickey Newbury declared were even finer than those of Newbury's lifelong friend Bob Shane (of the Kingston Trio).
Fold in fourteen talented supporting artists who cradle everything from Pedal Steel Guitar to Charango, Saxophone to Dobro, Tuba to Accordion, and a dozen more well-chosen instruments from song to song.
Mix in well-timed outdoor sounds and lyrical foreshadowing that enhance the cohesiveness that is loved in theme albums.
Bake to golden perfection in a highly-regarded studio, employing classic analogue equipment that captures the warmth and personality of each performance.
Serve on a platter of thought-provoking fun, splendid dynamics, and refreshing shifts in tempo a
