VARIOUS – LET’S GO DANCING: SPLIT A MOUNTAIN IN TWO WITH A FLAKE OF SNOW / KEVN KINNEY – OPAQUE BONE VINYL

Lets Go Dancing Split a Mountain in Two With a Flake of Snow is the second of four seasonal albums released as part of the Kevn Kinney living tribute project organized by his wife, Anna Jensen. Anna explains, What started as a milestone birthday celebration for one of the best people Ive ever known, snowballed into a tribute of the highest caliber for one of the greatest artists the world has known yet who remains unknown by so many even after 40 years of laudable output, both solo and as lyricistfrontman of Drivin n Cryin (22 releases and counting). I am hoping this astounding compilation will help rectify that as the population at large deserves to be touched by this important, profound music. Those who know of Kevn and his legacy of thought provoking, soul stirring songs can attest to how life changing this man and his audible visions can be. He has always been ahead of his time, channeling messages on tough topics then ingeniously transforming them into pleasing forms that can be assimilated by all in a joyful way; never forcing, never didactic. His body of work is astonishingly vast and spans genres, so the collection is organized in four parts. Each starts with the title track Lets Go Dancing, reimagined in a new way and every volume is subtitled based on a lyric from that song.
Split a Mountain in Two With a Flake of Snow, brings more of a countryroots feel from bluegrass to gospel. Each record in the collection is, from start to finish, of exceptional musical quality and each fantastic artistgroup brought their A+ game to do this incredible material justice.
