The picture above is of the view outside
the window of our hotel room.
This professorial gentleman, a sartorial throwback,
is the brilliant Joe Craven. I had been too busy to
preview the listed quad showcase artists on the
NERFA website and was thrilled to see his name in
the program book. Foakee, his collaboration with
Sam Bevan, an adventurous cross of jazz and folk,
is a recent discovery, but has quickly become one
of our favorite albums.
It was especially enjoyable since we
couldn’t pay too close attention to the
spectacular views on the way to the
conference.
We’re always exhausted from
prepping for the Northeast Regional
Folk Alliance (NERFA) Conference.
weekend, but blissful as we drive
the twisting road up the mountain to
Kerhonksen.
Usually, the only time we see this area
is on the way to and from the NERFA
Conference.
Now that retirement has been thrust
upon me, I’m making a commitment to
take a trip up there when I’m rested and
ready to take photos.
We came away from the conference
with well over 2,000 pictures (a lot of
editing for sure).
Scenery aside, when it comes to
photography, musicians are our favorite
subject, and NERFA dishes up a huge
smorgasbord.
—Richard Cuccaro
We didn’t catch their name, but this group was the first we saw setting up in the
lobby on Friday after we arrived. The jams are a big part of NERFA magic.

2013 NERFA CD Reviews
Scott Wolfson and the Other Heroes - Life On
Fire
Scott Wolfson aspires to a fusion of style
and musical audacity. The assembled group
of musicians in the Other Heroes commits to
this goal. Life On Fire showcases the ability
of Scott and company to create an album with
a diverse sound and strong lyrics throughout.
The lead-off track “You Can’t Break Me
Again,” is a buoyant honky-tonk romp. Its sly
declaration, I was born broken, reinforces the
song’s title. The third track, “Memory Of A
Fall,” is reminiscent of Tim Hardin’s classic
“Reason to Believe.” Scott sings softly, If I
seem to lose my way / Do you just leave me? /
Do you think you’d stay? Piano and cello add to
the song’s gravity. “1972” borrows stylistically
from that era -- a synthesizer chortles giddily
-- to create a nostalgic, sometimes comedic
look backward: Laughing at the joke, as your
lungs filled up with smoke starts a progression
as the song’s protagonist attempts to grow
through the decade. “Brooklyn Mermaids” is a
soft lament for a twice-lost love: So don’t love
mermaids from Brooklyn / ‘cause they’re gonna
be who they must be… “Stray Dogs” joins the
rave-up category, reaching the conclusion that
“Everybody learns that even stray dogs find
a home.” Life on Fire rocks effortlessly and
joyously and ruminates softly when it has to.
We’re expecting a lot of airplay for this album.
Suzie Brown - Almost There
We just discovered Suzie Brown last year and
we’re happy to see a new release from her. We
mentioned in last December’s review column
that her voice reminds one of Patty Griffin. Its
combination of softness and edginess prompts
a descriptive catch phrase to cross my mind:
“velvet knife.” This is almost completely
an unvarnished paean to love with a capital
“L.” The title track, co-written with her slide
guitarist Scott Sax, kicks off the album and it’s
just plain beautiful. A slight shift into a minor
chord in the “almost there” refrain produces an
ache of longing for something good to come.
Suzie puts that velvet knife to good use in “Own
Little Show,” a mash note to the man she loves,
telling him that The price of admission / is just
a little kissin’. In other hands this would be a
bit too syrupy, but she carries it off. Another
co-write with Scott, “Receipt for Love,”
is a great little finger-popping number that
automatically gets the listener’s toes tapping.
Showing smart respect for rock history, she
covers “I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday,” an
old Fats Domino signature song. The velvet
in her throat is a perfect match for this nugget
from the legendary ’50s “Fatman.” There’s a
sorrow in “Fallen Down” that seems to point to
the gun violence in America as it laments blood
stained ground / This time we’ve really fallen
down. The particularly evocative slow ballad
“Don’t Know if I Dare” is brilliant. Suzie
balances newfound love with fear of loss with
I think you’re gonna leave me alone / I keep
feeling like I’m home. We’ve been waiting for
a year to make a connection and have finally
made arrangements to feature Suzie in our
June 2014 issue. We can’t wait to learn more
about this exceptionally talented performer!
Robby Hecht - Last of the Long Days / Late
Last Night
I’ve admired Robby Hecht’s music for a long
time, but didn’t actually see him until this past
NERFA conference. As a former struggling
singer/songwriter wannabe, I listen to Robby’s
albums with their great songs spooling off one
after another, and I can’t help but wonder:
“How does he do it?” One key element seems
to be his ability to create melodies, tempos and
lyrics that fit his voice, an instrument of reedy
perfection. “Real Someday,” from Last of the
Long Days, explores some of life’s existential
questions: Hey old friend, would you come
back home / I’m still here and I’m all alone /
I know that you would find your way / Come
back now it’s all OK / and I swear we’ll make it
real someday. It has a repetitive refrain toward
the end, I’m gonna be somebody, that repeats
about eight times. I’ve gotten aggravated with
other singers who’ve done the same thing, but
Robby’s sound and his varying modulation
makes it thoroughly enjoyable.
His cover of Townes Van Zant’s “If I Needed
You,” a duet with Jill Andrews, formerly of
The Everybodyfields, is exquisitely done.
The title track from Late Last Night, is a
resigned, sad goodbye: Days will come when
I’ll miss you so / and I’ll pray to God to have
you back home / but I will not move, I’ll just
watch you fly away … Spread your wings, ain’t
no one gonna make you stay.
A searing anti-war indictment, “Along the
Way” examines the mind of a soldier on his
last day alive: Only heaven knows where I’m
goin’ today / trying’ to be so strong and brave /
I killed a soldier for the greater good / I crossed
the lines and shot him where he stood / I killed
a man because they said I should / Another
came and shot me in return / Screamin’ at me
how I was going to burn / That’s the last thing
that I ever learned / along the way.
A Nashville writer, many of Robby’s cache
of songs on these two albums sound like they
could be or have been hits for some of the major
label names. One in particular, “Losing You”
has more hooks than a tackle box: I don’t want
to start, no / talkin’ ’bout my heart, no / Pull
the pieces apart, no / No more … I don’t want
to tear myself in two / I’m already losin’ you.
We’ve already reached agreement with Robby
on an Acoustic Live feature for March 2014,
coinciding with a new CD release, so there’s
more material coming on this song craftsman.
The Echo Hunters - Fortuna Beach
This veteran six-piece Canadian folk/rock band
has 20 years experience writing and playing
together and they know their way around a
recording studio. Fortuna Beach has a layered
sound that slides down the ear canal like
quicksilver. On the lead-off track, “The Dark
Room,” overlapping slide licks with heavy
reverb float on top of the vocal, strummed
guitar, drums and bass. We like it. Their
harmonies have been compared to CSNY. The
hymn-like “Come to Me” has an especially rich
sound. It starts off slowly as the lead singer
gently intones: Well, you don’t know what you
came for / You can’t recall the plan / As you lay
beside this riverbed, your face down in the sand
/ waiting for the word to rise up within you /
you’re looking for a sign to take you by storm
/ well, I’m not sure that’s how it goes / I hope
these words will take hold / when you don’t
know where you belong / will you come to me?
The use of cello in combination with a 12-string
guitar results in a sublime piece of music. “If
I Had” is a light song of devotion — If I had
something to prove, I’d prove it to you — that
showcases the band’s CSNY-like harmonies.
We’ll be giving this album repeat listenings.
Moors & McCumber - Against the Grain
This is the third album from the harmonizing
multi-instrumentalist duo of James Moors and
Kort McCumber. The two present a mix of
folk, blues, Celtic and bluegrass. At a recent
gig, they said how many instruments they play
between them, but I can’t recall the number.
Glancing at their online bio credits, it looks
to be around 20. “Love and War” is a wise
choice for the lead-off track. It establishes their
ability to smartly dissect societal issues as well
as the well-stocked personal trove. Fiddle,
cello, guitar and mandolin weave around their
tight harmonies as they sing: Everything is
rosy when you have the right of way / Some
will claim they’re holy as they try to take your
rights away / There are no hard fast rules when
it comes to love and war / So you’d best know
what you’re after and what you’re in it for.
“It’s Different Now” takes advantage of the
sonority of a sighing cello as the two sing about
not being able to recapture a love: It was a
bright white snow fallen down / to cover tracks
that we laid down / the night before … Why
wait for this thing to come undone / mistakes
were made … bouzouki and banjo heighten
the sorrow of this beautifully sung piece.
The title track, using mostly just guitar and
harmony, is a cry of quiet defiance of a tiller
of land against encroachment by modern
advances: You can’t take away the land / that
I’ve built up with my own two hands / I’ll take
the land, I’ll make a stand / against the grain
again. Moors & McCumber blend harmony
and strings with precision and grace.
2013 NERFA CD Reviews
Continued
Laura Marie - The Season
If my interpretation of her online photographs
is accurate, this is a little woman with a very
big voice. A Texas belter and folk rocker, Laura
Marie pushes her voice easily over drums and
electric guitar. She pulled me in immediately
with catchy melodies, a husky alto and
passionate lyrics. In “Dark Horse,” she sings:
Maybe you’re a lost cause / or maybe you’re a
dark horse just like me. Even a contemplative
song like “Hard Rain” can’t hide the power in
her vocal as she glides over a Dobro’s keening
wail. A somewhat abstract pondering, perhaps
about an approaching emotional storm, she
sings: Sometimes waiting, sometimes not /
now not to sleep, but to breathe / lying alone
in the heart of what’s cold and dark / searching
for peace … So don’t start, baby. Don’t start
now / It’s too late to sparrow away / Come in
from the porch and lock all the doors / There’s
nothing to do now but pray.
On the familiar sounding, but nevertheless
lovely anthemic ballad “If You Don’t Feel
A Thing” Laura’s voice soars: Don’t say you
never ever know / The right from the wrong, the
things that belong / from the things that we try
to find long after / It’s gone, It’s gone.
I know I’m going to enjoy using this album to
drown out the drone of egocentric cellphone
users on the buses and subways of New York
City. Big sound or small, loud or soft … it’s
just beautiful. You got me, Laura.
Lou Dominguez - We the People
This album has a simple, homespun feel. The
singing is no-frills, straightforward storytelling
by a Jersey boy of Cuban heritage. Lou
Dominguez’s parents fled the Castro regime
in the 1950s. They seem to have imparted a
passion for what democracy is supposed to
mean. While I was slow to warm to its low-key
approach, I couldn’t resist “Citizens United.”
This guy’s been reading my mail. There’s a
party on the hill, you and me we ain’t invited
/ Citizens United / The lobbies and the super
PACs are all super excited / Citizens United /
They argued corporations and people are the
same / Five judges rushed it through in the thick
of night, rigged the game / Now money equals
speech but my speech can’t buy a thing / We
had them on the ropes, they bought the referee
and ring / Charles and David Koch are delighted
/ Citizens United. As far as I’m concerned, that
encapsulates the situation as good as anything
I’ve said or read. Lou also tackles our inability
to deal with our gun crisis, our imperfect justice
system, veterans returning from war with post
traumatic stress disorder, crazy Facebook rules
and a few other current topics. His approach is
simple and earnest. It can seem like preaching
at times, but I find myself agreeing with him
anyway. A lot of food for thought here.
Heather Pierson - The Hard Work of Living
My first contact with Heather Pierson was
her walk-on during a Brad Cole showcase at
our booth at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival this
summer. She played a melodica, the small
wind instrument that works with a keyboard.
I pegged her as a keyboardist who probably
sang pop/folk/rock. Well… not quite … not
even close. She played guitar on two of three
songs in her Acoustic Live guerrilla showcase
(melodica on the third) and showed herself to
be quite a good singer with a flair for gospel.
The Hard Work of Living enlarges upon that
observation and adds one more: she’s a damn
fine writer. Her songs are folkier than I expected
— there’s an embrace of roots — but it seems
logical, coming from someone who grew up
in Maine and now lives in New Hampshire.
“Speak Wisely” is a blues number that sharply
observes: Well, who am I to complain / And just
add to all the noise? / ‘cause people will be
people / And they’ll use their tools like they’re
toys / But silence is golden and all you talk
is trash / It’s gonna come back around and
knock you on your ass / So speak wisely or not
at all. “Let It Roll Off Your Back” is one of
those gospel rave-ups that makes me wish it
didn’t have to end. If people can’t see things
your way / Let it roll off your back / Or if you
can’t understand what people do / Let it roll
off your back … The homilies in the song are
basic — Sometime you have to smile — but the
drumbeat power of repetition and the power in
Heather’s voice give me a thrill. We’re looking
forward to seeing a lot more of her.
Spuyten Duyvil - Temptation
I find myself using the term rave-up probably more
than I should. If I had to shut it down except for
one musical act, this would be the one. Mark Miller
has assembled one of the most kick-ass ensembles
we’ll get to see in the Northeast. The album leads
off with a cover of “I’ll Fly Away,” the most
recorded gospel song of all time. Theirs is a worthy
addition to the best versions. I might be sitting
around having a cup of coffee at 10a.m., but if
the speakers are pumping out track three, Spuyten
Duyvil’s version of Abbie Gardner’s “Honey On
My Grave,” well… It’s five o’clock somewhere
and time for a beer … or three. I’ll probably take
a Captain Lawrence IPA. Beth Kaufman handles
most of the lead vocals and her voice is an exquisite
bell-like clarion call. Mark’s gruff and gritty vocals
are a perfect counterpoint. He takes the lead vocal
on the title track. I especially love that first line:
Watchin’ you walk / like watchin’ the last train
leavin’ the station tonight. The band really runs
on all cylinders on this one. Blues harp, lap steel,
fiddle, drums… sheer perfection. The last track,
“Everything I Am,” features the silky voice of
Mark and Beth’s daughter, Dena Miller. There’s
promise here of a generational carryover on this
terrific third album from Spuyten Duyvil.
Cricket Tell The Weather - Sample EP
This is perhaps the hottest new bluegrass
band in the Northeast. They were chosen as
one of the 25 emerging artists to showcase at
the 2013 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Mark
Miller of Spuyten Duyvil asked them, on the
spot, to join the bands playing at his pig roast
festival at Urban H20 in Yonkers, N.Y., one
week after Falcon Ridge. The band is working
on their debut nine-song album scheduled
for a December 2013 release. For anyone
who doesn’t have a copy of the sample, there
are six songs available for listening on their
website, crickettelltheweather.com, under the
tab “music.” The one song on the sample that
isn’t on the website is “Embers from Afar”
(judging by the refrain — there are no titles
on the sample). It really cooks and we’re eager
for the album release to make it available to
everyone. Fiddler Andrea Asprelli handles
much of the lead vocal work and her voice is
smooth and sweet. She sings the first track on
the sample, “Remington.” On a day in 1816, he
said, that rifle’s mighty fine / but I can make one
better than you, better than you can buy. The
lead line mirrors an online quote that “Eliphalet
Remington II believed he could build a better
gun than he could buy.” While the song lyrics
don’t exactly match the online Wikipedia
account of how Remington Arms developed,
it’s a great song and well played (however, since
it got an award from the city of Bridgeport,
Conn., where Remington Arms had a factory,
their research might just have eclipsed mine).
All four songs are a harbinger of great things to
come for these five fine musicians.
Amanda Pearcy - Royal Street
Amanda Pearcy’s set in our Saturday guerrilla
showcase at NERFA was so powerful that
I said she was “a female version of Steve
Earle.” It was partially the Texas connection
and the gravity of her performance but I’ll
stand by that statement. She might lean a little
harder on the romance than Earle, but there’s a
hardscrabble grittiness to her that’s irresistible
Her song “The Story Of My Heart” might just
be illustrative of that: The story of my heart
/ Is so much more than a photo in a locket /
Shot of whiskey / Pool stick chalk / Eight ball in
the corner pocket … I ain’t where I oughta be,
baby / Take me anywhere. A song of leaving,
“Unbind,” with its shimmering sadness, shows
some of that grit: In a truck of bad luck antique
furniture / she’ll cross her heart and pray for
a kind future / Ramblin’ right on past that hill
top grave / she’ll say a little prayer, blow a kiss,
and wave / Goodbye to her love, so young, so
brave / Sad memories, like ivy vines / they
don’t easily unbind.
If Amanda takes a break from Austin to visit
New York City, we’ll do our best to give her a
warm welcome.
