简介
Gone ... aloft ... joins Amy & Adams’ 4 previous albums(all critically praised and receiving national and international airplay) in the celebration of the musical and emotional journey. The journey that rarely repeats itself or rests for long in the same place. From the Country/Blues/Grassified amble of Gold In Colorado, to the silken intimacy of the whispered Bossa Nova Gone Not Forgotten and the romantic ballad My Sweetest Taste, through the icy jazz combo attack of So Sick Of The Winter, the steel drum Caribbean Buffet I Don’t Want To Work For The Audio King No More, to the soaring orchestral finale Aloft, the writing, the arrangements, the vocals, and the instrumental performances on Gone ... aloft are simply stunning. These 13 wonderful original songs were brought to life by the same band of exceptionally gifted artists Amy & Adams used on their 4th CD Dancing Through Time: sister Mary Adams, as always, on vocals and harmonica, drummer Ryan Hurn & bassist Rich Brown (one of Branson, MO’s top tier rhythm sections), fiddler, mandolinist, and guitarist extraordinaire (oft Grand Ole Opry sideman) Tim Crouch, and the impeccable Steve Kuether on 7’ grand piano, Hammond B3, accordion, and synth keys. Recorded at Steve’s Panther Creek studio in the Arkansas Ozarks, Gone ... aloft, is quite fine on iPod, or in the car, but Gone ... aloft awaits full life and breath on the radio in the best audio or home theater systems. Gone ... aloft was a fulfilling musical journey for us. We hope it will be for you too.

Amy and Mark each has a distinctive style -- Amy's sweet vocals play foil to Mark's earthy tones. Together: Dynamite." "Nice harmonies and lovely acoustic work throughout." "KASU did receive the CD, and it has been added to our music library for airplay. It’s a collection of fantastic songs, all done extremely well. Thanks for sending it! Marty Scarbrough, KASU Program Director. 'You guys really ROCK!" from a student after a recent all school assembly. "I liked Mark's melodic vocals the first time I heard Surrender and now I am glad I have a recording so I can listen to it any time I want. As much as I like "Sail Away" some of the songs just don't feel complete without the nifty eye movements Amy makes at live shows!" "It's always a pleasure to hear Mark and Amy live, but when that's not possible I pop the CD in and soar! Thanks for the hours of enjoyment." "Thank you for sharing your talents of musical harmony with the universe! Great to know that there is more musical choice as a result of your efforts!!! Heres to saying yahoo!" "I love the tune "I'm Flying". Definitely "humable". Looking forward to the next offering!" "Listening to your cd right now in Charleston WV and loving it--the teddy bear song is definitely a favorite with all my women friends--hope you guys find your way to West Virginia. I'd love to see a live performance." "Amy And Adams have not only made it into my music collection, but they've barely made it out of my CD player! " "We got the CD as a gift and really enjoy it! Thanks!! " "When I find music that speaks to my heart I want to listen to it everywhere!" "Go hear these folks in concert~~you'll have a great time." "One of the best indie CDs I've ever heard--play it at parties, for stress relief, for meditation. Solid gold." Here's a word from Freesia: (10 year old fan!) "I listen to your CD alot and I really like the songs! You have really good talent! And your voices are beautiful! Good Luck!!!!!!! Love, Freesia" Your music has been a gift to us, and listening to you keeps our family buoyant & centered. I have to confess that we keep moving it between the house & van because we want to hear it so often! All of your songs are fully engaging." " “... reminded me of early Les Paul and Mary Ford.” ...seem to have conspired with Jimmy Buffet, setting their sweet words and melodies to jumpy and often Caribbean-sounding rhythms." SoundBytes “ “... it’s for anyone who can still appreciate music with genuine tunes and feelings...as fresh and entertaining as folk music has ever been.” Roots Music Report. "We got the CD as a gift and really enjoy it! Thanks!! "
