Album Notes

Following up on his debut album Retrospective Lives, indie folk rocker Brett Terry takes things up another level with the 10 song collection, Instant History. Packed full of soulful Hammond Organ, Fender Rhodes keyboards and other vintage vibe filled instruments, the album evokes classic 70s folk rock and just feels right. Tapping into the same deep wellspring that bands like Dr. Dog, Blitzen Trapper, Fleet Foxes, Wilco and Ryan Adams are currently exploring, you can both hear the influences of the Beatles, CSN+Y, James Taylor, Bob Dylan and Indigo Girls as well as savor the degree to which Brett carves out his own unique style felt on every song and in his multifaceted voice and acoustic guitar work. Multi-instrumentalist Eric Lichter contributes his talents on a diverse range of vintage instruments and the result is a great listen!
