While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band." Americana as a radio format had its origins in 1984 on KCSN in Nor ...

Silver Ladder
''Silver Ladder'' is an album by American singer/songwriter Peter Mulvey, released in 2014. ''Silver Ladder'' was the first album released by Mulvey after a five-year hiatus from songwriting due to personal issues. He decided to write one song a week and collected enough to record the album. The basic tracks were recorded live over two-and-a-half days followed by overdubs. Reception Writing for the ''Irish Times'', Joe Breen called the album "impressive" and wrote that although Mulvey "can go overboard... he compensates." Martin Chilton of ''The Telegraph'' called the album "grown-up country" and wrote that Mulvey had excelled himself. Jason Noble of CultureFly called the album "not a bad return, but it’s not likely to set the world on fire" and wrote "The songs are decent enough, but do suffer from a lack of impact at times, and a little more variation would help..." The ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'' placed the album 7th in its year-end review of the top 10 best albums of 20 ... [...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 ...
