Of Dogs And Bones (Audio CD)

Customer Review

The yardstick for his musical work was the singer and multi-instrumentalist Niels Cremer very ambitious with his 2009er EP Seed, Creed & Generation. Whether songs like the wonderful Take the early train, with whom he Competition Song of the Year took part in 2009 as a finalist in the international songwriter in Houston / Texas, have to beat all? Such thoughts of listeners should not even do it! Niels Cremer it has not and it shows the album to. Consistently he walks his musical career continued without his hit to constantly want to copy and offers to his debut album of Dogs and Bones his prime Fine New Folk, a blend of blues, folk, country and rock!

Already the opener The quiet acres of your soul, which begins with a quiet acoustic guitar solo and then discharges in a beautifully delicate played mandolin solo, lets suggest large. The first song spoils the audience with a beautiful and at the same time catchy melody, so that one hums the chorus equal. You do not know how one happens, and is already captured in the musical world of singer / songwriter.

Whether the thoughtful and quiet Further From The Truth, the studded Heart on My Sleeve, the flaky-rocking-folky-country-heavy time or the slightly jazzy-inspired Space Odyssey which the musician wrote for his sons Joshua and Noah with beautiful vocal harmonies, Niels Cremer has the perfect song for every mood. Of Dogs and Bones is as diverse as life itself!

The album was recorded with a lot of passion in various studios and comes without cover versions made. All songs were written by Niels Cremer. In addition to all the vocal tracks Niels Cremer has also recorded guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass and Harmonicaparts.

On drums string magician was supported by brother Jan, who has a very good sense of timing. For beautiful and precise Keyboard inserts Atze Ton is responsible, of the album has also partially mixed. Uli Biniasch (Backstage Sound Center) has incidentally also mixed and mastered the album.

The individual songs are straightforward and thus authentic. They are versatile and grandiose instrumentation, but not overloaded. The instrumentation works because of the great guitar playing and dexterity on guitar, mandolin and banjo often breathtaking virtuosity. Simply fantastic and without sounding playful doing that. Skillful finger picking and ingenious stroke techniques alternate. The songwriting generic quality is consistently high and the emotionality and the dynamics of individual pieces make the music of the artist into something very special. Of Dogs and Bones is listening at the highest level! Musically and vocally needs Niels Cremer no comparisons to international competitors to fear. It should be noted that Niels Cremer is an excellent exceptional talent world-class !!! Fans of the Americana Music be the album that way, is published by Time Zone Records love! Everyone likes the Handmade yet honest music, this album should call his own.
