Songs: Most of the Time [Bob Dylan cover] + Blank Lace [excerpt, in two parts]

Country Phasers feat. Thom Gill - Most of the Time

Country Phasers - Blank Lace [excerpt, part 1]

Country Phasers - Blank Lace [excerpt, part 2]

This version of Kurt Newman's Country Phasers included frequent phasers Andrew Furlong (double bass) and Patrick O'Reilly (guitar) alongside first-timer Madeleine Ertel (trumpet), as well as a special appearance from guitarist Thom Gill, who not only added his usual crafty, subtle tones but also stood up to close out the second set as the group's improvised abstraction coalesced into a spare version of Dylan's "Most of the Time". The first set, meanwhile, was given over to "Blank Lace", Newman's open score that here was rendered in a manner that can be best described as "country ambient". An album version of this, please!
