“The Spinning Leaves defy easy classication - they just make excellent music. Superficially a Folk/Americana duo (Barbara Gettes and Michael Baker), their music is rich enough to lend itself to complex treatment, as witness the lovely brass band accompaniment on “Try Try Try Try Try Try Try. ” When they stick to a folk/country sound, as with “Bridges for Free,” it works just fine. Their music can be wistful or raucous or, I suspect, anything you want. As music oughta be.” Dennis McNally, former publicist of The Grateful Dead.
The Good Problems - Lyrically brave and significant acoustic based “urban folk” from the ongoing city of brotherly somethin like love. beautifully adorned by four-part harmonies and a string duet. like an ice sculpture in cashmere.
