It’s been a while since Zachary Cale was last featured on this site but a glance at his band camp page shows he hasn’t been silent. In addition to the treasure trove of already available music he has new material in the works, and we were treated to a bunch of it during this performance.
While this is the last set to be posted from the Island House night at Tubby’s, this was actually the opening set of the night. With Robert Boston on keys and J.R. Bohannon on pedal steel Cale eased the audience into 5 straight new tunes. This is easy listening in the best sense of the phrase. On three separate occasions I sat down at my desk to mix this and then found myself, several minutes later, slowly drifting back to reality. I wasn’t “processing” anything; I was just enjoying the experience of hearing new music and allowing it to transport me to dreamland. The trio also treated us to a beautiful version of Neil Young’s “Motion Pictures”; a song perfectly tailored to Cale’s relaxed and comfortably honest vocal delivery. The set closed with “Dear Shadow”, the loan old song of the night, from 2013’s “Blue Rider”.
These unreleased songs will be released on a forthcoming instrumental based record Cale has in the works. I’m very excited to see how this flesh out. Additionally, he has several shows in the coming days including a July 2 bill with the excellent Stella Kola at Mama Tried in Brooklyn which is a must see if you’re in the area.
I recorded this from my usual spot by the soundboard with the MBHO’s and a board feed from Tubby’s FOH engineer Kyle. Enjoy!
