Post Description

Pacific Northwest musician/producer Eli West may not hit the top 100 mainstream charts with this material. But his musical sincerity certainly shines on these songs.

Recorded in 2020 just before everything shut down West manages to reshape from traditional musical clay to sculpt something refreshingly new & his own.

A late entry Eli West – Tapered Point of Stone (Tender & Mild/Released April 23, 2021) is a collaborative effort mindful at times of the fine work the late fiddle/violin/banjo player John Hartford produced throughout his career. Though not as traditionally engrained.

Some instrumental tunes may not resonate with city folk but there are little jewels among the stones. All the playing is superb. The title cut “Tapered Point of Stone,” is the most accessible. Well sung, good lyrics & the playing is attractive. Nothing here sounds vintage or antiquated. It’s a well-constructed song.

Despite the Pacific Northwest locale, the music is filled with the type of melodic undercurrent found in many Appalachian melodies. Delicacies for an audience of listeners. This music is good for early morning or late-night listening. Relaxing, satisfying & consistent.
