Following
three heavies in the instrumental realm of slamgrass, jazz and bluegrass
(respectively), It was serendipitous to find an artist that was not
only talented in the instrumental aspects of music, but is a master
of visual imaging through poetry.
Chris
Conway has worked with some of the world’s best jazz and world musicians, including
members of Jethro Tull and Fairpoint convention. His previous CD releases span
the genres of experimental world music and jazz, while his most recent release,
Lost Tracks, is a collection of acoustic folk and mood music. The tracks are beautifully
simple, getting back to the roots of acoustic music, rich in lyrics and familiar
hooks. The instrumental tracks like 'Stewed Flutes' use ethnic percussion and
bamboo flutes that take your mind to other worlds.
Lost
Tracks is available for download from his official homepage, but I recommend to
the listener that has a taste for quality, to listen to some of the other CDs
previously released by Chris Conway. A rounded musician from top to bottom, Chris
Conway has an eclectic range of music that will suit just about anybody’s CD collection.
