Uproot

Description

This CD is driven by the unique and sweet songwriting of Nate Silas Richardson. You may know him as “the musician” from Life’s Most Dangerous Game, but he’s a highly accomplished singer and songwriter in his own right.  Nate began working on this CD while playing solo gigs around Boston under his chosen middle name, Silas.  One fateful night in 1998 he opened a John Brown’s Body show, and they have been making music together ever since.  UPROOT features members of JBB as well as other extraordinary Boston musicians.  The music is full of haunting dub, rocksteady rhythms, natural melodies, soulful singing and playing and highlights Nate’s melodic approach to the guitar.  The crowning jewel on this project is a crushing dub mix by the one and only Dub Fader.  Artwork by Brenda B. Buck.  Tracked at Kissy Pig Studios, Boston, MA.  Mixed at Pyramid Sound in Ithaca, NY.”
