about

Released on Paleo Music 2005

“What he does is really amazing. He still keeps that traditional feeling, but pushes it into this almost dreamlike place.”
— Lucinda Williams, No Depression: The Journal Of Roots Music

NPR’s All Things Considered observed that Clothesline Revival’s first CD, “Of My Native Land” was “on to something special by re-inventing the roots genre known as Americana.” Clothesline Revival’s second release, “Long Gone,” continues with that re-invention, working with archival field recordings collected throughout the U.S. in the middle of the last century. Composer-producer Conrad Praetzel combines a cappella vocals, from blues tunes, ballads, spirituals, skipping rhymes and work songs, with maverick musical treatments, beats and live roots instrumentation. Joined by guitarist Robert Powell, the results are captivating, untamed, off-beat and deeply moving.
