SUMMARY:The Kennedys
DESCRIPTION:Pete and Maura Kennedy\, both East Coast natives\, met in Austin\, Texas\, joined forces with Nanci Griffith's Blue Moon Orchestra for a couple of years\, and set out on a road that\, for two decades\, has led them not only west but all over the US and the UK many times. This year\, they celebrate their twentieth anniversary both as a band and a married couple. Rather than indulge in a nostalgic look backward\, they've taken Dylan's dictum "don't look back" to heart\; writing and recording forty new songs. 2015 sees a Maura solo CD\, a Pete solo CD\, and the release of "West\," an instant classic Kennedys duo set that seamlessly weaves their influences over the last two decades\; Buddy Holly style roots\, the tuneful cadences of the Everly Brothers\, and the ringing 12-string jangle of the early Byrds\, interspersed with darker moments that recall British folk rock a la Fairport Convention. Ultimately\, Pete and Maura knit these disparate threads into a coat of many colors that sounds like a "best of The Kennedys\," but is in reality an all-new collection of songs. The road west is central to the American mythos\; it's the search for musical roots and the fulfillment of a personal American dream that takes shape in songs. Two decades on\, The Kennedys are hitting a songwriting high point\, and from that point they follow the well-worn American path West. "West is a collection of thirteen enchanting tracks whose heartfelt and passionate execution makes for a wonderful listening experience." -Dave Simpson\, Pure M Magazine
