Info for Powderhouse Road (Remastered)

Steve Strauss stellt sich mit Powderhouse Road als sensibler Singer/Songwriter von ungewöhnlichem Tiefgang vor. Der Inhalt seiner Lieder ist schwer erklärt. Bilder aus zärtlicher Melancholie und naivem Verlangen. Zynismus und zuweilen morbide Subversivität, musikalisch höchst eigenwillig präsentiert - in zeitgemäßem amerikanischen Songwriting.

Überhaupt lässt sich Strauss viel Zeit, denn viele seiner Stücke schlagen im ruhigen Erzähltempo einen großen Bogen, erzählen von Reisen nach Jerusalem und Brügge oder spielen mit weltverlorenen Assoziationsketten. Seine Gitarrenbegleitungen dazu sind in ähnlich ruhigem Puls angelegt und schaffen die nötigen Räume. Auf der CD wird Steve Strauss von einem ziemlich elitären Haufen begleitet: Chris Jones spielt die zweite Gitarre (in perfektem Verständnis mit Strauss), Hans Hartmann zupft den Kontrabass, Hans-Jörg Maucksch den bundlosen Bass und Steve Baker bläst die Harmonika." (Christian Emigholz im WESER-KURIER, 22.8.99)

Steve Strauss
has been a singer/songwriter for more than twenty-five years. Powderhouse Road, Steve's first collection of songs, was released in 1998 after a serendipitous collision of events brought him to the attention of Germany's audiophile folk label Stockfisch Records. Steve followed up with Just Like Love in 2004, and then spent several years honing his electric guitar skills with jam band Monkeys Typing (still known to emerge every now and again for a show in their home town of Binghamton, NY). Steve's latest Stockfisch release Sea of Dreams showcases the union of his songwriting with his love of the electric guitar. Steve (aka "That Guy with the Gretsch") currently fattens up his folky oeuvre with his bluesy combo Strauss & Co.
