SOUND OF THE DAY - ARTHUR RUSSELL :: Love is Overtaking Me

“Love is Overtaking Me”

Arthur Russell

Slightly different edge to this . . . . . . . Americana? Country? Folk? . . . . . yup all of the above!

Found this over at O My Soul thanks guys . . . . . . . . 


Anybody notice the rhythmic session going on here, there is some strange time signature stuff going on here under the basic track but what does anyone else think? His roots may go some way to explain the use of the percussion and what sounds to me like a tabla but it is nearly country meets avantgarde . . . .  tragic loss and again someone who was taken from us by the AIDS outbreak.

Fascinating guy! Haunting sound . . . . . . check him out! (see link on his name above!)
