New Sun Rising
Richard Leschen classifies himself as a songwriter/guitar player, with a background ranging from bluegrass and jazz to Turkish folk and Hindustani classical music. New Sun Rising is Leschen's latest release with his trademark cinematic lyrics and improvised guitar playing. Though the lyrics of New Sun Rising are not pop-oriented there are plenty of fills and rolls between syncopated rhythms and melody lines to entertain. The beautiful improvised section following All Saints Day is particularly moving. Leschen, a Grateful Deadhead, follows the Dead's principles and encourages careful listeners with a live recording reminiscent of a poetry reading. The album was superbly recorded by Robbie Duncan at Braeburn Studios (Wellington) and Leschen is joined by blueswoman Carol Bean on backup vocals while poet Chris Price adds percussion to Young Man Down. Torch of Freedom. Written just prior to the swearing in of US president Obama, this gospel addresses neo-conservatism and it's concomitant effects upon the workingclass and apathy for the environment. Scenes of torture precede love's rescue, endowing the narrator with the courage to remain solid as a "rock in an acid ocean." Episode of Susan: The Limit of Love. This reggae song describes the death of lead character, Susan, in an episode of a fictional TV soap. The audience observing the filming ("smoke the stage and focus tight") become more involved with the script to the point of shirking their obligations and "seat themselves" daily in front of a mind-numbing TV set. Finally, there is reality meltdown where the division between audience and actor is blurred. Bardoni's Picasso. An Italian streetartist residing in London is the subject of this ballad. Antonio frames his lover in a painting that is eventually "offered for sale and sold." The unusual time signature in the chorus under the line "angel of redemption" is the listener's clue that Bardoni's affair is a fantasy but serves a spiritual purpose. Auckland's famous busker Luke Hurley is cited in the last lines. Young Man Down. Written during a stint in South Africa, this rock song speaks to the angst of the downtrodden poor in that country. Chris Price's afrorhythm progressively builds while Bean and Leschen's voices unite in the forceful chorus lines. Eve of the Steel Blue Moon. A desert sunset is described by the narrator who gains renewal through the observed quietude. This is the first of a suite of four border songs. Aye General. This simple corrido is about a peasant uprising against a cruel Mexican chancellor. The guitar solos are clean and succinct. Parnassus. Shame, fear, and regret enter the minds of renegades in this surreal cowboy ballad. It was written from scribbled notes in North Canterbury near Parnassus and Homeview Cemetery. The narrative was completed in the Hokianga during a trip with American songwriter Peter Rowan, where Leschen incorporated Rowan's "walls" metaphor for nature, timelessness, and emotion (from his and Bill Monroe's Walls of Time) into the introspective and confused thoughts of the narrating desperado. All Souls Day. A Mexican farmer betters himself by arranging an illegal crossing into the United States. There is a lesson learnt when we discover that the Texas Ranger is in cahoots with the people smuggler. The four minute guitar solo following "a band of mariachis play" symbolizes the ascending soul of Jose-Luis to heaven. The Great Divide. This waltz is a kind of Deadheads lament: what it was to be on the road following the Dead, being at a show, the kindness one meets, the friends made, love affairs. Leschen used the "8th of July" as a throwaway line and it was months later when he realised that this date in 1995 was the penultimate Dead show, which was the last he attended. Mystical ain't it. New Sun Rising. This upbeat little tune is about the birth of a baby in Rarotonga. The muse for this song was a melody by Tarika Sammy from A World Out Of Time by Henry Kaiser and David Lindley in Madagascar. Robbie Duncan says, "great guitar in this one."- Shop: odax

Angels in Cahoots
This month, Hendersonville's own Jenny Arch releases her debut album, Angels in Cahoots, a wonderfully-titled effort which will no doubt find a welcome reception amongst the acoustic and contemporary folk crowd, and certainly has the potential for a much wider audience. Having vocal chops rivaling some of her more well-known singer/songwriter peers, I'd still have to say that her strongest asset is in the accessibility of her songs. Arch displays a seemingly effortless talent to write tunes that are new and unique to the ear, but comfortable and familiar to the soul. The songs all come together to create a bittersweet musical journey, some moments so upbeat and carefree, and others so coated with melancholy and longing, reminding me at times of The Sundays or Fisher. Her band - The Hand Me Downs - does a superb job of laying the foundation for Arch's well-crafted melodies, with some beautiful cello work by Aaron Coffin. Coffin's no Yo-Yo Ma, but he still coaxes some great emotion out of the instrument. With the release of Angels in Cahoots, Arch takes a definitive step further into the realm of some of her stated musical influences such as Joni Mitchell or Ani Difranco. This seems like the kind of album WNCW would champion (and I hope they do), and I wouldn't doubt if Angels in Cahoots made their next year's list of Top 100 albums.
