Album Notes

With one guitar, five mics, a whirl of musical ideas and the sound of hands, wound wires and wood, Brian Cutean weaves together instrumental songs with dynamic playing on this disc. “The four elements I reached for in this recording, “ says Cutean, “are melody, rhythm, a fun bassline and silence. This album is a breather from a world shrill with opinions, instant message me-me-me blogs and 24 hour news chatter. It is universal in every language and the stories it tells belong to us all."

Based in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, Road Scholar, Oregon Country Fair and Kerrville Folk Festival veteran Cutean continues to tour throughout the country, worded and wordlessly.

Musicolgist, guitarist, banjoist and instrumental luminary Dick Weissman says of Guitarred and Feathered; "As far as I'm concerned, anything the quixotic Dr. Q. does is worth listening to. Who knew that under the brain of this excellent singer-songwriter beat the heart of John Fahey, John Hurt, and other acoustic guitar heroes?"
