ADAM
LEVY
BUTTERMILK CHANNEL
2001 Lost Wax Music
"Stunning.
Absolutely stunning. Adam Levy is a guitar player
with a difference. His fluid, loose, and sometimes
loopy style reminds us in some ways of guitars
in the band Durutti Column . . . although the
songs themselves are vastly different. The songs
on Buttermilk Channel are subtle, yet
they have a strange mesmerizing quality that
is inviting. Levy's backing musicians on this
album offer near perfect accompaniment. Larry
Goldings offers some fine and absorbing organ
work, and Kenny Wollesen's drumming is right
on key (we love those atmospheric cymbals).
This music touches on jazz, easy listening,
lounge, and could also pass as the soundtrack
to a film. Seven lengthy tunes here, and all
of them are superb. Our top picks: 'Buttermilk
Channel,' 'I Guess,' 'Dear John,' and 'Sphere
of Influence.' (Rating: 4+++)"
