Description
Tim O'Brien transforms with 'Pompadour' and channels his inner James Brown.
"...classic-sounding material stamped with his own perceptive personality" - The Wall Street Journal.
Multi-award winning bluegrass-folk-singer-songwriter Tim O'Brien greases the musical wheel with 'Pompadour'. Produced and recorded by O'Brien, he continues to meld his love for the traditional sounds of bluegrass and country with his dash of modern that finds him in a new place in life.
The seeds of Pompadour took root about three years ago when O'Brien welcomed his New Zealand traveling colleagues to Nashville. "Gerry Paul is a guitarist from Wellington, New Zealand, and Trevor Hutchinson is a bassist from Dublin, Ireland," O'Brien says. "We grabbed a couple of days and recorded. Pompadour swirls together bits of bluegrass, deep-roots Appalachian music, field hollers, old-school rock 'n' roll to traditional jazz and even James Brownian funk. The same applies to the perspectives from which O'Brien addresses the central theme. "It hangs together and tells a story. It's honest. It shows who I am as a person as well as a musician. That's something I can be proud of."
