DVD cover

So dig it here we go...from Seattle to Boston at 10 MPH. And along the way beyond a bunch of other great tunes you can get an earful of an alternative take of Polly Loved Me ( I Know), a tune from my latest Tea with Leo.

And in case yer wondering well, 10MPH is a comical documentary that follows a pair of aspiring filmmakers as they quit their jobs and turn a friend's ludicrous idea into a movie.

It's been shown at a host of festivals and has even won several best documentary awards. To score yerself a copy just clink on the links below.

And oh say yeah if ya want to know even more about the film you can go to www.10mph.com.

Here ya go…Tea with Leo.

It was at the 12 Bar in London way back in December 2002 that me and Anna Phoebe first got together. Since then because of that ocean between us and all her running around with the likes of Jethro Tull, Roxy Music and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra we have had only a few occasions to perform together, but each time, well it's been real special.

And this here release is no exception. Recorded in London over the course of just two days it is indeed a fine example of what can happen when two truly gifted musicians stop sippin' tea and eating biscuits long enough to lay down a few tracks.

Now here’s some of what some other folks have said, (if ya click on the link ya can check out the full review).

“ NYC / London acoustic work-out of unspeakable gorgeousness…a record to treasure”
              - Americana UK

“As fresh and inspiring as watching the sunrise…Ms. Phoebe’s violin sounds like heaven in digital format…Extraordinarily fulfilling”
              - Babysue.com

“Extremely lovely…one of those records you reach for to ease you into or out of your day as it brings with it great calm and untroubled prettiness of sound that can’t help but induce wistful sighs and fond memories”
              - Comes with a Smile

“a short but brilliant collection of Americana instrumentals…lovingly crafted, masterfully honed, and hauntingly beautiful …whether folkie, or blues fan, or chamber music aficionado, you’ll find pleasure in this album”
              - KyndMusic.com

Tea

 

Believe it was the summer of 2003 when me and Paleface got to working up the tunes for the band that would become Just About to Burn. Several nights a week for hours on end we distilled them tunes down to what we thought was their bare essence. Come September Lil' Mo was brought in on the kit and the whole gang went to see Paul Kostabi @ Court Metrage Studio, NYC to make this record.

Course now prevailing winds being what they are, a trip to England, a bunch of NYC shows, and a Southern US run later I got to feeling like the third wheel and decided to beat feet. Even still the record is a real good listen.

Tea

 

london time out got it right, when they described breadfoot live as “gritty guitar picking and homespunwisdom”. and on “i’m ok, yer uk”, the proof is in the pudding. recorded over the course of his last two runs over to the uk, breadfoot rambles thru the six tracks offered. along the way he disses bush, remembers his third grade crush and touches on 9/11 conspiracy theories. oh, and yep, he does manage to shut up long enough to pick a few tunes. and we should tell ya this, two of the tracks feature the amazing fiddle of anna phoebe. if’n ya want you can get yerself one from the good folks at www.cdbaby.com.

Had the pleasure of being joined on stage for the last song of the evening by the wonderfully talented, (yet chilly handed), Anna Phoebe. We had never played this song together before, but I'll tell you what, I think this is an awfully beautiful recording. Don't believe I ever realized just how much sadness was in this tune.
