Little bit of American Music Club for your morning

The world is held together by the wind That blows through Gena Rowlands' hair

19 June 1930

The band were touring their Mercury record and I was assigned to do some live shots by NOW magazine when they were in town. Being a fan, I talked showed up at soundcheck and talked them into a brief portrait session in the alleyway behind the club. If I had any ambitions toward having the band act out the enormous emotional service they were performing for me at the time, it certainly doesn't show in these photos. It would have been absurd to even ask. Mark Eitzel might have had his roots in punk rock, but AMC were a musically sophisticated group across all their lineups, up to the demands of Eitzel's melodramatic and often orchestral songs. I was a particular fan of guitarist Vudi and pedal steel player Bruce Kaphan, but I'm a big guitar geek. The second frame would be a merely serviceable promo handout; the one at the top is a more accurate snapshot of a band going about the wholly joyless ritual of having their photo taken by some local fanboy photog.

"Hey Mr Ferryman" del americano Mark Eitzel, es uno de los discos más bonitos que han salido estas primeras semanas del año. Un álbum delicado, triste, irónico, vestido de gala para la ocasión gracias a la producción y arreglos del británico Bernard Butler. Caricias incisivas, letras dolientes y una voz hermosa hasta decir basta. Aquí un ejemplo "desnudo" de lo que iba a ser el disco en un principio, sin el oropel que aportó finalmente Butler. Yeah!
