Susan Alcorn Quintet - Pedernal CD RSD2019 Misty Lane paves a path

Misty Lane paves a path to Dark Entries to deliver some quirky Quebecois disco pop

wishing they were in Van Halen (for the ladies)

cities permanently scarred by heavy weaponry

let me tell you what it was like

Total Punk’s hardest working band Pyrex

Susan Alcorn Quintet - Pedernal CD RSD2019 Misty Lane paves a pathPedernal opens with Alcorns graceful pedal steel line suggesting a dark, minor blues thats joined in an undulating caress by Formaneks lithe bass. Descending chords introduce the second section as the band steps into the gathering maelstrom, eventually resolving into a beatifically lyrical theme that seems to summon the abiding power of the iconic vista.
