Description
Two nights, two chairs, a dozen songs. On Seven Curses (CRS, March 2010) the American songwriters Mark Erelli and Jeffrey Foucault match an elemental approach with the elemental subjects: love and death. Under the banner of the Murder Ballad, Foucault and Erelli execute uncanny harmony arrangements with a list of songs that decidedly expands the genre: Blackie Farrell's dusty cowboy ballad 'Sonora's Death Row' brushes shoulders with Neil Young's mystical narrative 'Powderfinger'; Porter Wagoner's darkly comic 'The First Mrs. Jones' makes a stark contrast to the bleak beauty of Paul Siebel's 'Louise'. Jaunty and doomed, the characters in these songs inhabit a world where everything hinges on a single irretrievable act, and a reckoning looms. Critically acclaimed veterans of the Americana circuit in the United States, each having made a series of well-received solo albums, Erelli and Foucault team up for the first time on Seven Curses and the result is by turns rollicking and chilling, raw and poignant, a timeless interpretation of a classic American genre.
