TYPE OF BAND: Songwriter/Singer
MUSIC GENRE: Folk
SONG LIST INCLUDES: Long Cold Nights, More Things Change
"Minnesotan folk singer/songwriter Eric Rhame’s storytelling begins with Spider John, a
tribute to fellow Minnesotan John Koerner, who helped shape the course of folk music. Greg
Brown’s influence is also evident on Long Cold Nights, one of the year’s best folk albums.
More Things Change with Danny McIntosh’s excellent harmonica playing conjures Brown’s
Spring & All. The title track, Long Cold Nights is brought to perfection with the added cello,
adding warmth to Eric’s acoustic playing. The production (Wayne Murphy at Bear Grass
Studio) is invaluable; Eric Rhame’s Kelly Joe Phelps rasp like voice on Can’t Stay Here
Anymore is succeeded with Way Out In the Country and On The Road. This year’s midwest
winter will be the warmest on record thanks to Eric Rhame’s Long Cold Nights" Jules Brazeau, Altcountrytab.ca |
