Blindspot

Recorded live in Ireland, with David Goodrich. Capturing the spirit of Mulvey's formative years as a traveling singer and songwriter, Glencree was recorded at three gigs in three bars in Ireland: the legendary Lobby Bar in Cork, the Cobblestone Bar in Dublin's Smithfield, and the Ballymore Inn, deep in the hills of Kildare. David Goodrich is on hand throughout, and the record is a document of his and Peter's explorations of improvised duo settings. It's bluesy, jazzy, funky folk music with a dash of country. This is as unplugged as it gets, without the MTV hype, just two men, some guitars and a little help from Juliet Turner on backing vocals here and there. The simplicity of the arrangement makes Peter's smooth, smoky voice shine. This is a mix of his own stuff and a few of his favorites, written by people like Stephen Foster, Greg Brown and Pamela Means. Pure talent without frills or adornment.

Last summer in Elliott Sharp’s recording studio in Manhattan, New York guitarist Sharp spent a day with guitar colleague Mary Halvorson and another with Marc Ribot, legendary guitarist of Tom Waits, The Lounge Lizards and Marianne Faithful. The result was a series of recordings that could only be created by friends. They represent the great art of guitar playing by three exceptional musicians looking for new sonic adventures in search of the sound of our time. “I hear in their playing both a step into an unknown future and wild growth from a deep past,” says Elliott Sharp. “The contradiction is resolved in improvisation – the transcendent sonic path of the now.”

In 2001 Dan Michaelson was living in Reykjavik, Iceland. Pondering the practical applications of his Fine Art degree and fussing over a handful of demos he had made in England 6 months previously, he returned to London, moved into an abandoned Jewish tearoom and theatre (which also housed the Lithuanian Social Club in the basement) and committed himself writing songs for the foreseeable future. The first fruits of this were heard on 2005’s DonkeyStock, one of three records under the name Absentee.
