Produced by
Kenn Fox. All arrangements by Kenn Fox.
Named among the "Best of the Year" for 2007 by B-Side Records
in Madison, WI!
Road to Tivoli is the eighth
solo instrumental recording by Wisconsin guitarist/composer Kenn Fox.
This collection of new pieces showcases Fox’s innovative solo acoustic
and baritone guitar work, but it doesn’t stop there, expanding on
Fox’s extraordinary sound with several full band tracks as well. The
band, comprised of Dave Finley on fretless bass and Jeff Moylan on drums (both from the Mare Edstrom Band), Susan Nicholson (Frogwater) on fiddle,
and Jon Peik (Nob Hill Boys) on banjo, pushes Fox’s brand of Celtic
fusion into uncharted territory. This music is melodic and dynamic,
often riding heavy acoustic grooves hard. The entire CD flows remarkably
from song to song, providing, as the subtitle suggests…A Soundtrack
for the Movie in your Mind!
There
are also guest appearances by Wisconsin singer/songwriter/guitarist
Tracy Jane Comer, on a gorgeous fingerstyle duet titled "Faith," and Blues
singer Mare Edstrom, who plays some Celtic flute and even a bit of guitar.
Beautiful cover images are provided by Wisconsin artist Ilga Reke Andersons.
