The first time I saw RS was when he opened for Dar at (I think) the Beacon (which is in my neighborhood--the upper west side). Both my friend and I were sitting in a box next to the critic for the NY Times (hre brother was working for Razor & Tie at the time) and all three of us were probably more impressed with RS than Dar! Ah NYC opening acts...you just never know who will turn up and just make you sit up and take notice. Almost makes you happy to put up with overcrowded subways and rents that approach campaign budgets. Well...almost. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 08:06:04 -0500 From: "Susan Koval" Subject: [RS] Are You Happy Now on 92.5! Howdy all, I was flipping radio stations this morning on the way into work, and on 92.5, a country radio station out of Philadelphia, I caught the last 10 seconds or so of "Are You Happy Now!!" The DJs really liked the song but said they didn't know who sang it, could someone let them know. (Someone had sent the song into them as a Halloween song.) Well, I just called the radio station and let them know it was Richard!! (Hmmm, I just realized I should have told them about his web site....) Charlie, the number there is 215-263-6700 if you want to follow up on it! They also kept singing the refrain, but as I got closer to New Brunswick I started losing the signal.... But they really seemed to like it. Sue K ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 08:19:26 -0500 From: "Susan Koval" Subject: [RS] Re: Are You Happy Now on 92.5!

Box 106 Whately, MA 01903 A review written for the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange by Michael Gasser (migas@compuserve.com) Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer call their music ''all original, post-modern, mythic American.'' But don't be scared, you won't need a dictionary to understand their music. ''Tanglewood Tree'' is their second collaboration and their first for the thriving Signature Sounds label, which seems to amass nothing but great talent on its roster. The new album has earned a lot of rave reviews, and was the most played album on folk radio for three ensuing months this year. The two have chosen Portland, Oregon as their adopted hometown, but Dave Carter's Texan background still shines through. He writes the songs all by himself, but it is mainly due to Carter's joining forces with Tracy Grammer that a different kind of potential became possible for the duo. One plus one can sometimes be more than just two. You can get lost all too easily listening to this album, where killer harmonies meet up with masterfully played instruments. Listen to Tracy Grammer's gutsy vocals on ''Crocodile Man'' and enjoy. In that song Grammer shows more steam and eroticism than all the world's assembled material girls. Her fiddle playing is equally impressive and is of such sheer and astonishing beauty that whenever it can be heard, the already magical album torpedos itself onto an even higher level. The music of Carter and Grammer is sure to bring down any house. You can call it country, you can call it folk - it's not that important. What is relevant is that their sound belongs to the top of the crop in any of these genres. Sometimes the duo is a tiny bit reminiscent of Gillian Welch and her partner David Rawlings, although far less somber. In comparison, Carter and Grammer seem to write more upbeat lyrics, which are sometimes tongue in cheek. Carter's lyrics possess a tremendously graceful flow, making his songs convincing creations with subtle meanings and wonderful wording - pure poetry. His is a talent among talents. Asking for more than this album offers would come close to a deadly sin. From the CD's first second to the very last, there is not even one remotely boring moment. They start picking their instruments and the record reveals its wonders right away, non-stop . No doubt, this year's laurels will go to Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer.
