937 Dante Street (BTW
Records, BTW 22) Take a Louisiana swamp and zydeco-punk guitarist,
a New Orleans based Swiss songwriter , one of New Orleans finest
athmospheric guitar players, a European jazz rhythm section, an award
winning Australian folksinger, and a renowned Scottish acoustic instrumentalist,
put them together to create music in the Louisiana bayou and you
have B-Goes. Produced by Dave McNair (Silos, Sonny Landreth), B-Goes
latest release Dante Street pushes the boundaries of American roots
music. Comparisons can be made to Los Lobos, Dire Straits and Cowboy
Junkies. A New Orleans reviewer remarked that "Dante Street is the record that folk rock
legend Robbie Robertson tried to make with Storyville". Using
storytelling, Daniel Lanois-style ambiance, multiple layers of vocals,
strong electic guitars, varied acoustic instruments and percussion,
Andi Hoffmann is able to evoke the mystery and soul of New Orleans
with his songs. Hoffmann's international cast of characters lends a
perspective to the music that makes it decidedly new American music! |
