Best Of Gloucester Country

Description

It had been 5 years since 'Ships' that Daniel Christopher Smith, a.k.a. Brother Danielson, a.k.a. Danielson, had released any new recordings. Well, that's changed with 'Best Of Gloucester County,' produced jointly by Sounds Familyre (his own label) for the United States and Fire Records for Europe. For this new baroque orchestral pop album, Danielson has surrounded himself with his faithful companions (Patrick Berkery - drums, percussion / Rachel Galloway - vocal / Evan Mazunik - piano, organ / Megan Slaboda - vocal / Daniel Smith - vocal, acoustic guitar / Elin K. Smith - vocal - Joshua Stamper - bass, horn arrangements / Andy Wilson - electric guitar) to whom a few friends have been added, such as Sufjan Stevens - banjo, vocal / Jens Lekman: Swede vocal on "Lil Norge" / Emil Nikolaisen (Serena-Maneesh): electric guitar #2 on "Olympic Portions", "Hovering Above That Hill" / Glen Galaxy (Soul-Junk) / Mark Shippy (US Maple) / Chris Cohen (Cryptacize): electric guitar solos on "But I Don't Wanna Sing About Guitars"...
