Good Summer Rain (Digital Download)
The 11 songs on Good Summer Rain span from the intimate streets of Greenwich Village to the sweeping vistas of Jackson Hole, reaching out to where farmland gives way to urban sprawl, wilderness gives way to industrial growth.
The CD creates a vivid travelogue of the North American landscape, often feeling as expansive as the land itself. They encompass both the beauty and the grit of our world today, leaving the listener to contemplate the impacts of change, and the dilemmas that ensue.
Produced and recorded in Boston by Crit Harmon (Martin Sexton, Mary Gauthier, Lori McKenna) Good Summer Rain draws on some of the Northeast's finest session musicians, fusing the rootsy Americana sounds of dobro, mandolin, guitar and drums with the elegance of piano and upright bass to offer a rich textural foundation for Erica's expressive lyrics and intimate, conversational vocal style. The CD was sponsored in part by The Trust for Public Land, a national organization.
