about

All of the pieces on Iménagening were improvised on the spot (the way we always play together -- with no advance planning and no retakes). One song was improvised "in studio", about two years ago. But, the other three were recorded on Betsy's shady front lawn on a lovely day last summer. Of course, there were birds and airplanes and some wind noise, because the recording was made live and outdoors. (And, we were very happy indeed to be together, alive and outdoors, at the time!)

The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful. Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
