Music: http://fairtilizer.com/track/whisperingpines
The prolific band Professor Louie & The Crowmatix have another fine
release - this one is a combination of studio and live recordings.
Whispering Pines features 10 songs from their extensive repertoire
including the youtube favorite title track Whispering Pines.
With Professor Louie handling the lion's share of the vocals as well
as the keyboards, Miss Marie's singing & percussion, famed drummer
Gary Burke, bassist Frank Campbell, and guitarist Josh Colow rounding
out the Woodstock band, this collection kicks off with the timeless
"Whispering Pines" written by Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson.
This version is simply stunning and at times sounds like a lost track
from the Beach Boys' classic "Pet Sounds" album, with its lush
production values, layers and textures.
With so many great rockin' tunes, the big finish is the stunning
orchestral arrangement of "Melody of Peace" by Burke, Spinosa and
Hurwitz, performed with the Prague Radio Symphony and Kuhn Choir,
recorded in the Czech Republic after receiving the ERM/NAXOS
composition award.
The artwork is very special on the Whispering Pines CD. Woodstock
Records developed a Community/Work program with students of NYUlster
College Design Department and together they created this beautiful CD
package.
