"World Music" - Fran Dagostino

Fran chose two of my songs for this compilation CD - Bill Copeland has something to say on each:

"Fran Dagostino’s experimental, progressive, and transcontinental CD World Music should not be overlooked by fans of adventurous explorations of song possibilities. It also features a lot of good guitar playing. World Music is Dagostino’s compilation of songs he has recorded with musicians from all over the world."

"Australian composer Neil Porter turns in his own solid performance on vocals and acoustic guitar on 'Blown Away'. Dagostino adds his own special twist on the lead guitar phrase underneath Porter’s mesmerizing voice and lyricism. The lead guitar shimmers brightly in its self-restrained, sublimated place."

"'Wrong Way Home' is another contribution from Australian songwriter Neil Porter. Porter has the appealing vocal style, acoustic guitar, and midi drums in tact. The lyrics are world weary while the voice delivering them are almost Tom Waits gruff and low. Dagostino pays out a high frequency lead guitar phrase alongside it all, framing as well as accompanying it."

Thanks for the invite to the CD Fran - "Wrong Way Home" (a complete remix with Fran) will be getting another run on my 3rd album coming out in November "Life On The Trapeze".
