<br />
<span lang="en"><span title="">Ah, charming: Bel Air, a small band from Brooklyn - a group that two years ago debuted with the excellent album "Pole to Pole" has a new CD "Fortune". </span><span title="">Allison Langerak (vocals, harmonica, keyboards), Jeff Mensch (vocals, guitar), Wyatt Tuzo (lap steel, guitar, vocals) toured the past two years from the East to the South of America. Their sound has been deeply enriched by the contributions of</span><span title=""> Stough Turner (bass) and Eric Kuby (drums), making "Fortune" a step up from Pole to Pole. </span><span title="">By adding the rhythm section features this new album is clearly fuller and warmer than its predecessor. </span><span title="">The creative energy that the group radiates by way of the drawling voice of Jeff Mensch and the sensual vocals of Allison Langerak is boundless.<br />
</span><span title="">Playing with the enormous possibilities found at the interface of folk rock, indie and country, they create a world where nothing seems impossible. </span><span title="">Mood and emotion</span></span><span title=""> are central to the songs, with a big role given to vocal harmonies.. </span><span title="">"Fortuna" is a beautiful and diverse album. </span><span title="">Just listen to the lazy and graceful Getting There or Over Mexico,a</span><span title=""> song with a jangly sound. </span><span title="">A tormented keyboard (Christmas), groaning electric guitars (Northern Lights) and acoustic guitars (Longing).<span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white;" title="">All passionate, thoughtful or whimsical compositions by Bel Air, which remind you of a playful lamb hopping across the meadow. </span><span title="">Sounds reminiscent of those such as Neil Young, Cowboy Junkies, The Cranberries and The Sundays. </span><span title="">Highly recommended!</span>Bel Airhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04724494868989351277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991323757181364895.post-36127650488107180052010-12-13T12:17:00.000-05:002010-12-13T12:17:37.292-05:00MARQUEEThis was on the Zebulon chalk board on the night of our CD Release party!<br />

I've been waiting for a while to do this so you're going to need to be significantly ready to handle what I'm about to "drop". <br /><br />First, though, the back story: A while ago, a little band called Bel Air released a little album called <span style="font-style:italic;">Pole to Pole</span> that had a little song on it called "Almost". "Almost" is a simple song. A country ballad, sad and slow.

Recently, I was going through some old files on my computer and came across a 20 minute recording of Breakup Breakdown leaving a venue in Savannah, GA and going to Krystal, which, if you've never had the pleasure of going to one, is like the White Castle of the South. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdm60NYqlCjj_DeuwqoSadiOVyBeMo_qZCpSYRyHJGPuPKbE5cs5ObiCNBGuq6k9bgnCNrIOXtpeOIAWbAp5fxl9IKmV-f0CkXD2PjPo2SqLi4ZiIDB2S-N2gP5xhm9FJIiippwdPj7JZi/s1600/800px-Krystal.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdm60NYqlCjj_DeuwqoSadiOVyBeMo_qZCpSYRyHJGPuPKbE5cs5ObiCNBGuq6k9bgnCNrIOXtpeOIAWbAp5fxl9IKmV-f0CkXD2PjPo2SqLi4ZiIDB2S-N2gP5xhm9FJIiippwdPj7JZi/s320/800px-Krystal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464518781755777874" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On the recording we decide who's driving, discuss what's on the menu at Krystal, what's the best fast food ever and the end is me ordering at the drive-through. At one point someone tries to drag race us. It's pretty classic. Once we get to the Krystal, everyone gets really grossed out at one of the options on the menu - breakfast-in-a-bowl. After googling a picture of it, I can see why we had that reaction.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIDtH9BMTp7Q9ynA4vSHfZ5teGUT6rBQokeVmdxxagfvqLj49BQcUxq9wSM9eBymj3Uwmf2da6tElVAn5hieOQNrvs73GkxOAoqCMIC22rYEyFORumDi0NazmxBfanKYJhMSfPGYUATkrJ/s1600/original-scrambler.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 306px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIDtH9BMTp7Q9ynA4vSHfZ5teGUT6rBQokeVmdxxagfvqLj49BQcUxq9wSM9eBymj3Uwmf2da6tElVAn5hieOQNrvs73GkxOAoqCMIC22rYEyFORumDi0NazmxBfanKYJhMSfPGYUATkrJ/s320/original-scrambler.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464518419503652674" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Wyatt had a similar reaction to something he saw on TV this morning: the KFC Double Down. The KFC Double Down is a sandwich made up of two fried chicken filets, two pieces of bacon, two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel's Sauce, which I'm guessing is some kind of mayo based concoction. There is no bun involved here.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7EG0lSWuv7bBRRYyh9-M-PkVAZKAxaDbh1SSRsDljwB9r6fO6rWUSuN1CwEex1cERP85g8hFdZlm8ZPDwmztzhXoMQyfVgnKcCHi9v0Q-YiLCugy2laLNE4nA0d8OoiWI8nw6xe2lEtL9/s1600/KFC-Double-Down.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7EG0lSWuv7bBRRYyh9-M-PkVAZKAxaDbh1SSRsDljwB9r6fO6rWUSuN1CwEex1cERP85g8hFdZlm8ZPDwmztzhXoMQyfVgnKcCHi9v0Q-YiLCugy2laLNE4nA0d8OoiWI8nw6xe2lEtL9/s320/KFC-Double-Down.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464520136288004194" border="0" /></a><br /><br />When he told me about this, I immediately thought of the burger that Paula Deen once made on her Food Network show, <span style="font-style: italic;">Paula's Home Cooking</span>. Her "brunch burger" is not served on a bun either. It is served on Krispie Kreme doughnuts. Not one Krispie Kreme doughnut cut in half, mind you, but TWO WHOLE DOUGHNUTS. One on the top, one on the bottom. Oh, and it also has bacon on it.

We mixed our 10 song album in 5 days at <a href="http://www.excellorecording.com/">Excello Recording</a>. We were thrilled to have mix master Hugh Pool at the helm because he is so talented and such a great guy. Mixing can sometimes be a daunting process but Hugh made it a really fun experience and the songs sound better than we ever imagined they would. Plus, he made a toast at the end of the session. I love it when people make toasts...<br /><br />Next up...
