Recipe for Alabama
On my bay back from N.C. to S.F. my traveling partner D. suggested that we take a detour to Birmingham, Alabama to visit Butch Anthony, a folk artist she had recently met. Butch was showing his art: a dinosaur made of found objects, strange paintings, a blue bottle fly. I met his amazing fortune telling chicken, Bob Ross. Drop a quarter in the jar, look the rooster in the eye and receive a fortune inside an egg. Throw in Les Blank's great filn, "Sprout Wings and Fly", a documentary about old-time fiddler Tommy Jarrell. Stir it all together and you've got some Alabama Chicken
The album Alabama Chicken was recorded on December 9th and 10th, 2002 in Suki Hill's living room in northern California. It was recorded by Paul Scriver. Joining Sean Hayes on the record are: Eno Garcia on banjo, jaw-harp and musical saw, Jolie Holland on harmonies and violin, Garth Wells on bass, Dave Mihaly on marimba and drums and Will Waghorn on drums.
The recording has ten orginial songs including Dream Machine which was re-mixed for Mark Farina's new record Air Farina. The album also features the old-time tune Little Maggie and a new version of Bob Dylan's Walkin' Down the Line.

You Heard Something Here First,
By artSF (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alabama Chicken (Audio CD)
Sean Hayes is too good to stay obscure for much longer. This album, while locally known in San Francisco amongst an increasing fan base, is really going to be enjoyed by many once word gets out. When you listen you'll be transported elsewhere, to a magical and melodic universe. Can't recommend this enough. Buy it and enjoy!

the great unknown,

This review is from: Alabama Chicken (Audio CD)
I heard Alabama Chicken on the Emerson College (Boston) radio station and liked the vibe, so I bought the CD. What a treat this entire album is! Sean's voice is so expressive, like he's singing to your heart. Musically, it sounds like a group of very talented friends getting together for some serious play and hitting that magical place where everything comes together. Little Maggie is a great rendition of a traditional tune and Walkin down the Line is a nice version of the Dylan classic. The rest are originals, with Here We Are a standout for me. Some sad love songs on here as well, for those times when you need a sad love song. Highly recommended and I hope his work gets the airplay it deserves.
5.0 out of 5 stars
