Dominique Eade: Town and Country
Il materiale scelto è ampio. Abbiamo «It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)» di Bob Dylan, «Give My Love to Rose» di Johnny Cash, il colto «Thoreau» di Charles Ives, lo spiritual «Elijah Rock», canti di denuncia sociale come «Eastern Tree» o «West Virginia Mine Disaster», qualche nota ballad come «Moonlight in Vermont» o «Moon River». La decostruzione tematica, i contrasti timbrici, il canto colloquiale e le dissonanze del piano creano un clima di rarefatta (e spesso allucinata) bellezza, che può risultare ostico a chi è avvezzo a esecuzioni tradizionali. Una narrazione che si snoda nella penombra, con i temi che appaiono nudi e scarnificati.
Eppure il fascino è enorme, per chi sa entrare in sintonia.
