Description:
"An Irishman, an Englishman, and two Canadians walk into a recording studio. That may sound like the setup for a joke, but it actually works as a description of Richard Ferreira`s Somewhereville, which brings to mind Van Morrison, Elvis Costello in King Of America mode, Rick Danko, and, on the album-capping "Guilford Mill," Gordon Lightfoot. Working with some familiar names from non-mainstream Nashville (Greg Trooper and Gwil Owen are among the co-writers, and the players include bassist Dave Jacques and drummer Rick Schell), Ferreira has created an album full of memorable songs -- some of them blessed by horns, all of them soulfully delivered. At the center of Somewhereville is the majestic "Moon Over Memphis," the best rendezvousing of roots and soul this side of Solomon Burke`s recent record." -Rick Cornell, MoMZine
