Familiar tunes get new readings. Little known gems are unearthed. It's a loosey-goosey affair, with good picking, satisfying harmonies, and loads of fun." David Kleiner of Minor 7th wrote "Put three very diverse singer/songwriters together and try to make them into a group, and you could be looking at a recipe for disaster. Egos, ideas, and experiences all enter the mix. It's remarkable, then, that Redbird sound so cohes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Live At The Cafe Carpe
''Live at the Cafe Carpe'' (or more completely ''Live at the Cafe Carpe: Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, December 2008 & 2009'') is a live recording by Redbird (Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst and Peter Mulvey), released in 2011. Reception Writing for Allmusic, critic William Ruhlman wrote that of the album, "In putting together a repertoire to play to live audiences, the trio sometimes risks coming off as a novelty act, however, as they get laughs for "What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" and the group-written "Phonebooth of Love." Such numbers serve as light entertainment and changes of pace in a show, but don't work as well on repeated listenings of a disc. Still, the singers in Redbird have a workable concept for their group..." Track listing # "I'm Beginning to See the Light" (Duke Ellington, Don George, Johnny Hodges, Harry James) – 2:56 #"Strangers" (Kris Delmhorst) – 3:18 #"What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" (Glenn Sutton) – 3:10 ...

History Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Delmhorst takes on setting some works of famous poets to music along with her own original compositions. The lead off track is named after Italian composer Baldassare Galuppi. Inspired by and quoting heavily from the Robert Browning poem A Toccata of Galuppi's, Delmhorst reflects on the composers times and style: "And the minor third so bitter, the six chord like a sigh, suspension, solution, asking must we die, must we die must we die? And the seventh says well fellas, life might not last, but we can try…" ''Strange Conversations'' was recorded at the same time as Delmhorst's follow up CD, '' Shotgun Singer''. Reception Critic Joe Viglione of Allmusic called ''Strange Conversation'' "an impressive and ambitious work that is evidence of the sophistication enveloping the Kris Delmhorst catalog and one hopes that these important musings get no ...

Songs For A Hurricane
''Songs for a Hurricane'' is an album by singer/songwriter Kris Delmhorst, released in 2003. Reception Music critic Joe Viglione wrote in his Allmusic "This artist is subtle in her approach with music that comes up behind you and a voice that breathes through the speakers... The production by Delmhorst and Billy Conway is commendable, and the different instruments by a host of musicians find their place, all the elements part of a fabric. The singer doesn't use her voice to command the album as most artists do, but there are textures here, flashes of lyrical brilliance with lap steel guitars, accordion, xylophone, fiddle, and cello weaving in and out... Captivating and very intriguing." Track listing All songs by Kris Delmhorst unless noted. # "Waiting Under the Waves" – 3:38 # "East of the Mountains" – 2:37 # "You're No Train" – 5:35 # "Bobby Lee" – 3:07 # "Weathervane" – 3:26 # "Juice + June" – 4:01 # "Hummingbird" – 4:33 # "Hurricane" – 4:19 # "Come Home" ...
