Elkhorn - The Storm Sessions, album review


Improvising Our Emotions

This isn’t how I remember Elk Horn. It was the Beach Boys in my childhood and then a little later, when things had changed, Iron Butterfly.

That’s the town in Iowa, obviously.

Elkhorn the duo – trio on this album – produces a seamless soundscape from Jess Shepherd on acoustic and Drew Gardner on electric guitars, effects on the latter adding elements of evocation, especially for the more dramatic, ably supported by Turner Williams with electric bouzouki on one side of the album and shahi baaja on the second.

Improvisation that soothes and rouses. Get it here.
