Description
At it's best, harmony duo singing can transform simple math into a magic trick. One plus one, instead of equaling two, suddenly yields an unexpected third thing. An upper-case ONE. A universal hum. A deep vibration that encompasses two different points of view. On their latest release, Every Time I Think About You, brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey, aka The Cactus Blossoms, once again prove themselves to be among the most adept - and instinctive - modern practitioners of the classic tradition. - All sorts of emotional colors shine through on their new album. "Something's Got A Hold On Me" is pure Saturday night two-steppin' joy, "Keep Walkin'" has a Stones-y swagger and "There She Goes" casts it's romantic regret against a danceable bop beat. "Statues" is a gorgeous meditation on the weight of permanent honor, "Is It Any Wonder" weaves it's pledge of enduring love through nature images, and the title track is a heart-wrencher about loss and letting go. In all, the ten beautifully open-ended songs here invite listeners in to find their own stories as they revel in the old-school melodies and harmonies.
