Monte Dunn and Karen Cruz

Fallout, 2008

A rollicking good, completely hippified time circa 1969 with Tim Hardin, Fred Neil and Richie Havens sideman Monte Dunn and his wife Karen Cruz. Straight up female-fronted folk-rock songs that sound so of an era that at times they resemble something from Christopher Guest's folk parody A Mighty Wind - in fact one of the tracks, “Outside Looking In”, sounds like it was directly ripped off for one of the tracks in that movie. Other reference points include Curt Boettcher productions like the Goldebriars. The album features A-list session players including Hal Blaine and Bruce Langhorne. A gentle hootenany, with lots of acoustic instruments – no screaming psyche guitars here. Top notch stuff!
