Rain (Peter Mulvey Album)
''Rain'' is the second album by American singer/songwriter Peter Mulvey, released in 1994. It was reissued by Signature Sounds Recordings in 2001. Reception Writing for AllMusic, critic Evan Cater wrote of the album, "His singing voice still sounds young and somewhat green... there was still plenty of room for growth. Rain is not nearly as polished as Mulvey's mature label-backed efforts. But if Brother Rabbit Speaks is the musical equivalent of an embarrassing high school yearbook photo, Rain is a portrait of the artist as a young man.."

Folk Music
Folk music is a music genre that includes traditional folk music and the contemporary genre that evolved from the former during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, music with unknown composers, music that is played on traditional instruments, music about cultural or national identity, music that changes between generations (folk process), music associated with a people's folklore, or music performed by custom over a long period of time. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that. Starting in the mid-20th century, a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk rev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brother Rabbit Speaks
''Brother Rabbit Speaks'' is the debut album by American singer/songwriter Peter Mulvey, released in 1992. It was reissued in 2001 by Signature Sounds. Reception Writing for Allmusic, critic Evan Cator praised Mulvey's guitar playing, but criticized his songwriting, writing, "the songs are generally ramblingly wordy lyrics slung haphazardly into semi-melodies that get lost in the intricate guitar work. At times one gets the impression that Mulvey was attempting some sort of jazz-folk hybrid, but he seems to have appropriated only the most self-indulgent and careless qualities of jazz. It doesn't help that he didn't yet have much control over his singing voice... The album will only be of interest to the artist's most devoted followers."

Rapture (Peter Mulvey Album)
''Rapture'' is an album by American singer/songwriter Peter Mulvey, released in 1995. Reception Writing for Allmusic, critic Darryl Cator wrote of the album, "Mulvey is a talented performer, reaching with all his strength for greatness. Because he hasn't grasped it yet, he appears to be overreaching, but it can be pretty entertaining watching him try."

Singer/songwriter
A singer-songwriter is a musician who writes, composes, and performs their own musical material, including lyrics and melodies. In the United States, the category is built on the folk-acoustic tradition, although this role has transmuted through different eras of popular music. Singer-songwriters often provide the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song, typically using a guitar or piano. In the early 21st century, digital production tools such as GarageBand began to be used by singer-songwriters to compose their music. Definition and usage The label "singer-songwriter" (or "song-writer/singer") is used by record labels and critics to define popular-music artists who write and perform their own material, which is often self-accompanied - generally on acoustic guitar or piano. Such an artist performs the roles of composer, lyricist, vocalist, sometimes instrumentalist, and often self-manager. According to AllMusic, singer-songwriters' lyrics are often persona ...

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
