CD ReviewsAn Ode To The Adirondacks Martin A Hogan | San Francisco, CA. (Hercules) | 02/27/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "While "Hey Music" explored a few more non-Adirondack topics and styles, "Back To Nature" bares homage to the Adirondacks mood, seasons and legends. In a return to "Forever Green", this album is a complete set of wonderfully pleasant songs that set moods throughout the entire album with actual places and personal feelings.
"Living In These Mountains" is the perfect set starter describing the various seasons, pleasures and pitfalls including lyrics like "august sun on your skin" and "springs promise of new life" against the hardship of winters. Adding a little spoken word, "Jamie Savage" sings the history of the legendary `Adirondack Chair', a unique comfortable design that has made its way around the world. Songs like, "Thank The Earth", "Back On The Trail", "Climb Away!" along with others all bring forth visceral images of the Adirondacks along with personal lyrics that all describe a story or event. Legends of the mountains are given fair coverage including "Beckett's Joy" and the truly fascinating story of John Januck. "Janack's Landing" is a bouncy tune with fiddle and banjo that is an ode to John Janack, a colorful Adirondack legend who lost a leg in a mining blast, had one eye, was a fire warden and raised eleven children in the wilds of the Cat mountain area. "Perfect Day" closes the album with colorful lyrics and just about the prettiest piano accompaniment I've heard in a long time. It perfectly captures the mood of the mountains, the theme of this album and befits the closing of this third work. The lyrics, emotion and talented musicians on this album are part of a love affair to the Adirondacks. Multi-talented Dan Duggan, Dave Ruch and Henry Jankiewicz all accompany Jamie Savage on his musical tour. Frank Orsini's fiddle winds its magical way throughout the album and vocalist Peggy Lynn's vocals compliment every song she covers. "Back To Nature" is a great compliment to "Forever Green", Savage's first album. Welcome back to nature! " |
