Red Cities
Label:
ATAVISTIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
ALP 134CD
"
Red Cities
, Chris' solo debut. It's both organic & deliberate, epic & detailed, part spaghetti western & part road flick -- all masterfully delivered to your auditory canals by a truly gifted multi-instrumentalist. Kindred spirits and reference points include Calexico (sans South of the Border vibe), Pinetop Seven & Giant Sand (sans vocals), and even late-period Savage Republic. The mammoth sheets of guitar texture, powerful drumming & intricate elements that provide the foundation for
Red Cities
are simply a pleasure to hear; these are big, bad-assed desperado noir numbers done right..."

Title:
OST I Was Born, but...
Label:
ATAVISTIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
ALP 158CD
"Soundtrack from the Roddy Bogawa film, as performed the inimitable cb. Guitar bliss out -- c.f.
Red Cities
and beyond -- deftly delivered by the man whose pedigree has few peers (Come, Pullman, The New Year, Codeine...). If
Red Cities
was a soundtrack without a film: one of the most versatile, expressive & thoughtful talents in the pool now has moving pictures to move hand-in-hand with his music."

Title:
Wandering As Water
Label:
RETURN TO SENDER (GERMANY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.50
Catalog #:
RTS 042CD
"A musician's musician, Chris Brokaw has been making records for over 15 years, as a drummer for Codeine, a founding member and guitarist for Come, and a drummer again with the New Year. In 2002 he broke out with a critically-lauded and fully adept solo piece:
Red Cities
on Atavistic. His prowess as a guitarist has him touring year-round with acts like Steve Wynn, Consonant, Evan Dando, Pullman, the Willard Grant Conspiracy and his former Come partner Thalia Zedek. A long-time admirer of the songwriter Townes Van Zandt, now Brokaw has an opportunity to let his own songwriting shine on
Wandering As Water
. If you've seen Brokaw live, you know how much staid energy can come from one man. Armed with his guitar and a lone tapping tambourine, these recordings echo those performances in both their simplicity and in their power. Instrumental pieces imbued with harmony and coated in emotive grace. Brokaw's vocals come just as easily as the slide on his guitar, and soon enough, the listener is drawn into the kitchen, where he's found a place to play and a few sympathetic ears. Like Van Zandt, Brokaw already has a wide swath of experience from which to draw pointed observations and gruff realities. People shift, things change, live goes on. But that guitar sound and tapping tambourine seem to remain. Constant. Another stripped-down gem from Return To Sender."
