Jim Gaudet is back, no
doubt about it.
Long a favorite on the Northeast folk scene, Jim has been,
let's just say, missing in action for the past few years;
tending to family duties and wondering whether or not he'd
actually open his guitar case again.
Well, he has, and with
a vengeance.
He has now fused his
twin pasts to forge a new sound. Gaudet is anchoring his
deft wordplay and savvy songcraft in the classic roots music
that so thrilled him as a young man. It's a unique, driving
style,firmly-based in Americana; and Gaudet's
own guitar work is now more fiery than ever,
characterized by forceful, percussive rhythms
that lack for easy comparison.
