    KRiSTi NEBEL : Detour
    Encore une découverte tardive, puisque, s”il
    s”agit du premier CD solo de Kristi, elle en a
    déjà neuf à son actif en duo avec son époux
    Steve et deux avec leurs groupes, les Madrones
    et le Filucy Hootchie Kootchie. Imprégnée
    depuis longtemps de western swing, elle s”est
    enfi n décidée à s”offrir un détour par ce style musical. Il débute
    par une version mi-western swing mi-hillbilly bop du grand classique
    de Space Cooley, qui a donné son titre au CD, sur lequel
    on trouve quelques autres exemples du même genre, comme
    Stay all night, ainsi que I”m an old cowhand, ce dernier plus
    sur le versant western, et Swingin” in Tucson ou Six packs to
    go, qui sont tous deux nantis d”un rythme plus rock”n”roll. Pour
    agrémenter le tout, Kristi y ajoute un peu de ballade cowboy, de
    honky tonk, une reprise de l!une de mes valses préférées, Waltz
    across Texas, une version guillerette, avec un accordéon qui lui
    donne un parfum mex, de Just because, et trois compositions
    de Steve, deux ballades western folk mélodieuses et Bats in the
    belfry, morceau Americana à la Wise Guys. (BB)

    Album: Detour
    Artist: Kristi Nebel
    Label: Icebird
    This very enjoyable new 15 tune CD features Kristi in the vocal spotlight and on bass on both new and classic items. The great Paul Anastasio is fiddle player except on rhythm guitarist and back-up vocalist, Steve Nebel’s Texas dance hall style composition, Bow. Dave Harmonson plays pedal steel and Dobro on the album except on “Bow” where Jeff Moore plays pedal steel. Barbara Collins plays fiddle on that tune. Jeff plays lead guitar on another of Steve’s compositions, Bats in the Belfry. Other musicians are Denali Williams- drums, Mike Nelson- rhythm guitar and accordion and piano player Toby Hanson. The album opens with Paul Westmoreland’s Western Swing classic “Detour”, from Spade Cooley, Elton Britt and so many others. Other standards include Johnny Mercer’s “I’m an Old Cowhand”, Willie Nelson’s “Crazy” and two from the Ray Price library, Ralph Mooney’s “Crazy Arms” and Harlan Howard’s “Heartaches by the Number”. Also included is a wonderful tune with huge hit potential, “Swingin’ in Tucson”, the standard “Just Because” and Cole Porter’s “Don’t Fence Me in”. There are also from Bob Wills, “Right or Wrong” and “Stay All Night” and from Hank Thompson, “Six Pack to Go”. The two remaining items are a wonderful version of Waltz Across Texas from the Ernest Tubb band and Steve Nebel’s original country tune “Would You Hold My Hand”?
    This CD can be obtained for $15, postage included, by calling 253-573-1504. It can also be obtained on line from http://www.cdbaby.com, Amazon.com or most popular digital download sites.

    Somewhat surprising that “Detour”, solo record for Kristi Nebel, an important figure of the folk scene of the Pacific Northwest and currently living with her husband in Tacoma, Washington State.Paired with Steve Nebel fact he has recorded works by the characteristic imprint folk and touching sometimes the more traditional country music but this album proposes it with great skill by the swing of Texas brand and a country & western definitely noticeable. Produced by pianist and accordionist Toby Hanson who is also part of his band, flanked by her husband who is also the author of the three moments of the original collection and supported by a well-matched set of musicians including the brilliant Dave Harmonson on pedal steel guitar, Paul Anastasio on violin and Mike Nelson on guitar, Kristi Nebel shows its excellent vocal talents in a repertoire full of famous moments and little gems of country and western music. The song that gives title to the disc, a significant honky tonk where the fiddle really makes the numbers to “Swingin ‘In Tucson” in which the whole band’ swinga ‘great, from country-rock inflections of “Bats In The Belfry “the beautiful” Right Or Wrong “we can let ourselves be carried on the wings of sounds that still have large following throughout the American West. Among the most famous songs find beautiful transpositions of “I’m An Old Cowhand”, a classic ‘Wetsern number’ of Johnny Mercer, “Crazy Arms” signed by Ralph Mooney and Charles Seals, “Crazy” by Willie Nelson who really needs a few presentations for whoever knows even a little ‘of country music, “Do not Fence Me In” by Cole Porter, “Heartaches By The Number” Harlan Howard, “Six Packs To Go” by Hank Thompson, “Waltz Across Texas “by Ernest Tubb and” Stay All Night “by Bob Wills, as you can see an excellent roundup of names that are part of the history of American music. A disc really very nice that deserves a little ‘attention and that’ customs clearance ‘Kristi Nebel as good performer country. (Remo Ricaldone) Kristi
