Bio / Background
"It takes a little close listening to appreciate what Kolmar has done here, but it is well worth the extra effort." -- Indie-Music.com
On AS IF I WAS ALMOST HERE, Kolmar worked with Josh Powell--who
has also recorded neo-delta Bluesman, Samuel James and now Signature Sounds artist Moses Atwood, among others--to achieve a recording of intimate
simplicity,and detail. The basic tracks were recorded live and maintain
the intricate interplay of guitar and voice that one finds in Kolmar's
performances, enhanced here and there with touches of electric guitar,
bass, and violin (courtesy of Jamalieh Haley on NEW ENGLAND). The addition of Alan Dickson
on mandolin for SAILOR SONG creates an appropriately rowdy sea-faring duet.
