Boste: "Scrambled Eggs" Hi David |
"Come
on in my kitchen" ...where the eggs are scrambled and the sounds are intimate and engaging. Join a select group of Melbourne's musicians as they gather with Boste at a Rose Street abode to record a collection of her favourite songs. Kitchen, back porch, living room? Here is a musical space where voices, lap steel, banjo, acoustic guitar, dobro, violin and accordion coalesce beautifully. Scrambled eggs? This is more like an exquisite omlette, down home style! The ingredients? The musicianship of Linda and Vika Bull, Mia Dyson, Dave Steel, Garrett Costigan and Tonchi McIntosh ... all gelled by the Boste psyche. Yes come on into Boste's musical space ...where the listening is melodious, mournful and captivating. >Those slurring, raspy and haunting vocals of hers on the opening track, "Oh my country" offer a lamentation of what our dear home land has become. This mood of lament continues into Track 2's "Never look back", an Andy Cowen song featuring Mia Dyson on electric guitar. >Track 3's "Ride on" drives you down that lonely road connecting country and alternate. Ride on? ...many times ...any time ...especially with that beautiful dobro playing of Dave Steel's!  " SA Roots 'n Blues" features this track on its Audio Clips page. Have a listen to it ...it's a gem. Radio stations should be picking up on it and giving it some air play! Track 5 is a highlight (among many) for me! "Bridges" is a haunting anthem to that bridgeable rift that exists in our rural and urban psyche. Here is a collection of songs that has beauty, breadth and depth. This CD offers the uninitiated an introduction to the song writing prowess of Viki Simpson (The Waifs), Dirty Lucy, Andy Cowen, Suzannah Espie (Git) Tiffany Eckhart and Barb Waters. "Scrambled Eggs" offers the listener an opportunity to tap into one of the richest veins of contemporary Australian Roots Music. Stake your claim now! Visit www.chaosmusic.com and get yourself a serve of "Scrambled Eggs".> Hope Boste finds her way over to Adelaide for a few gigs ...if not it will sure be worth a trip over to Melbourne to catch her there! ...must track down some of her earlier material.
