Description
The people with whom we live and work are often our greatest blessings. On his latest record, Comforts of Home,singer/songwriter/guitarist Chris Bergson celebrates family, both biological and chosen. Bergson said the title track '"was the first in a new batch of songs Kate and I wrote focused on the theme of family. I think the songs are more interconnected -- like a suite -- than anything we've written and recorded before." The 12 songs on the record were written by Bergson and his partner Kate Ross, with assistance on a few tracks from soul singer Ellis Hooks and multi-instrumentalist Craig Dreyer. It's an intensely personal suite of songs that also trace some of the challenges family can pose.
From the sweetness of "Chloe's Song," written for his baby daughter (now a teenager who sings with Bergson on the track) to "Feelin' Good Today," the Chris Bergson Band's first album since 2017 sighs and sizzles, marking the 20th anniversary of the founding of the band. The Chris Bergson Band played their first show in June of 2004 at the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party in Madison Square Park, NYC with Jay Collins on tenor sax and Moses Patrou on drums, both of whom also play on the new album.
Bergson's wife and daughter are the inspiration for some of the songs on the record, particularly the lovely "Uptown Side." With sweet tenor sax fills and a soulful solo by Collins, the track is a love letter to New York City and to home as a joyful place of refuge. Its celebration of Ross and Bergson's new home in the East Village - their "sky palace of love" -- echoes an earlier song, "Gowanus Heights," an ode to their earlier Brooklyn neighborhood.
