Fe singer-songwriter Jaime Michaels has released a stunning new CD called
the man with the time machine. Recorded in New Mexico at Jono Manson’s
famed Kitchen Sink studio, the man with the time machine runs the gamut from
a lullaby to welcome Manson’s new baby girl, “lullaby for natanya”,
to the magical midnight leap, “wish on the moon,” to a comical goodbye
to a lost love, “china dog”, to the poignantly romantic title tune,
“the man with the time machine”.
The
CD features a stellar cast of musicians from all over the globe. Blues
Traveler’s John Popper blows his instantly recognizable harmonica, and
Joel Guzman lends his expert accordion. England’s one and only
George Breakfast comes pickin’, as does Kevin Trainor, frontman for New
York
City’s legendary alt-country groundbreakers the Surreal McCoys. Jono
Manson lends some grooves, as do Austin’s The Flyin’ A’s, New
Zealand pedal steel guitarist John Egenes and banjo wizard Jeff Scroggins.
Michaels
graces these songs with beautiful, sophisticated folk-inflected writing, rounding
them out with exquisite arrangements and the aforementioned killer guests.
Of note is an elegy to families working with pride of place throughout generations,
“Black River.” One hundred percent
of sales of the single version of the song, along with ten percent ofalbum
sales, are being donated to the Greater New Orleans Foundation (gnof.org)
to help those affected by the Gulf oil spill.
This is Michaels' best work yet. At least so far…
