About Getting There
Amazon.com The Bacon Brothers named their debut Forosoco, an acronym for their combined influences: folk, rock, soul, and country. The title of their second album, Getting There, aptly describes the fraternal duo's stage in merging these styles. Taking the lead in most of the vocals, brother Kevin's arrangements and vocal stylings are a bit self-conscious and contrived at times, but he takes risks, assuming a honky-tonk rasp in "Not Born to Beauty," and a soft, folkie croon in "Ten Years in Mexico." "T.M.I." ("Too Much Information") is a humorous jab at the impossible paradox of being a sought-after movie star (yes, it's that Kevin Bacon) while trying to also make it as a rock star. Brother Michael, a formally trained musician with a dead-ringer James Taylor voice, provides warm intermissions between Kevin's character changes. Throughout, Michael's experience as a career composer is evident in the rich layering of harmonies and instrumentation that is neither taxing nor complicated, but as narrative as the lyrics. With a full back-up band at their disposal, the Bacon Brother's sophomore effort is part Nashville, part roadhouse soul, part Jimmy Buffett, and so full of good ol' wholesome Americana even the stuffy old fogies in Bomont, Iowa would embrace it. --Beth Massa Product description Getting There [Audio CD] The Bacon Brothers …
