BETWEEN THE NOTES is Kevin's first new studio album in over five years. This one was well worth waiting for. It features brand new songs, as well as a companion DVD of original paintings, song lyrics, and interviews. This new medium gives the audience an insider personalized look at the artistic and creative process. Special guest, Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary), performs on several pieces, and offers insight on the DVD as well - "In the day and age in which we live, where artwork is all around us, just like music is all around us - this colorful representation that Kevin has control over, I am just in awe! I resonated so much with it (BETWEEN THE NOTES). It's an exciting piece of art!"
This recording also features the guitarcimer, an instrument made especially for Kevin that combines the best elements of guitar and dulcimer. This beautiful rich sound makes this art/music collection all the more interesting and beautiful.

At first glance this CD looks like a standard release. But, once you open it up, there are many things to become immersed in. The package includes a CD AND a DVD!
The CD includes some of the best songs Kevin has ever written,and plays almost like a film. Each song leads into the next with an uncanny feeling that they are all connected in some way.
Highlights include "Love Is" and "Just Like Lauren Bacall (Margo)".
Kevins Dulcimer playing is flawless,and his Piano playing is seamless. One cool feature on this CD is the inclusion of Kevin's Guitarcimer,an instrument that is half Guitar and half Dulcimer. It was designed specially for Kevin, and his playing on it is beautiful.
The DVD that is included contains Interviews with Kevin, and his good friend and mentor, Noel Paul Stookey (of "Peter, Paul & Mary" fame). They both explain aspects of this wonderful package in great detail.
But then, the bonus!!! The complete album of songs along with artwork by Kevin that goes with each song, along with the lyrics, are included on the DVD.
It was great to "Watch" these songs unfold to the colorful pieces of art created by Kevin.
This CD/DVD is something that should be in every music collection. Kevin is a major talent and this is a major piece of work.
Pick up this CD/DVD. It is a "must have".
