New Review of Front Row Seat
Bryan Farrish Radio Promotions recently reviewed the latest album, with this to say……
Tortoise and Hair
A Front Row Seat
For married couple, Adrienne and Dustin Cotrell music is key. The two have taken the best of their abilities and churned out a record that is both soothing with tracks like “Confessor” and ones that make audiences tap their feet like “Faultline’09.” The Cotrell’s voices blend so well together that one can sense not only their musical connection but their personal connection to one another. There is an overtone of humbleness that radiates from each track that isn’t seen in a lot of today’s music. Tortoise and Hair are a well received throwback to the folk of the 70s. They put words to music to create sound poetry. Music lovers who appreciate the styles of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen will want to take in Tortoise and Hair’s A Front Row Seat.
Track 1: “Traveling Song” is the perfect tune for, well, traveling. Adrienne’s voice accompanied by Dustin’s playing takes listeners, comforts them and makes weary travelers feel like home is not that far away.
Track 6: “Voices of the Wind” has a harder edge than a lot of the other songs on the album. Dustin takes charge of the vocals on this one and executes nicely. The marching drums drive home the power of the song.
Track 10: “Forever Yours” is one of those songs that touches the heart of hopeless romantics everywhere. Anyone who has ever felt the joys and pains of love will turn this song on and relate to every word from beginning to end.
