Tim O'Brien - Chameleon

Tim O'Brien is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist of rare ability, and also a songwriter with a great talent. Over the last two decades or so he has made a lasting impact on the American music scene, noted for his incredible musicianship and a wide range of styles. Though he first won renown as a member of one of bluegrass�s premiere bands, Hot Rize, O�Brien�s been doing solo performances for a long time, and pressed for antecedents, he offers up figures like James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. The folksinger with a guitar is a sort of unassailable icon,� he says with a laugh. �Dylan, Woody Guthrie - what can you say. And I remember that when I heard the first Doc Watson album, I thought, what does he need a band for? This guy has got it all. But what happens is that when you go into the studio, you can play with a band and get the juices flowing and maybe do things that you might not be able to do on the road. So there�s a temptation to go that way. With a Grammy and numerous other awards under his belt, Tim O'Brien is now recognised as one of the finest purveyors of Americana and Bluegrass.Tracks: Where's Love Come From / Hoss Race / The Garden / Red Dog In The Morning / Phantom Phone Call / Megna's / Chameleon / Father Forgive Me / The Only Way To Never Hurt / Get Out There And Dance / This World Was Made For Everyone / When In Rome / World Of Trouble / Safe In Your Arms / Crooked Road / Nothing To Say.
