After 13 years in the music business, four albums, an ever-expanding worldwide fan base, a press kit that takes up half a bookshelf and CD sales in the thousands, Dan Israel and the Cultivators unveil a new album that takes all the best elements of Israel's earlier work and expands his musical vision. Recorded in Minneapolis by Israel and Cultivators drummer/engineer David J. Russ (Minnesota Music Awards Drummer of the Year in 2000), the CD infuses a pure pop sensibility with elements of folk, country and general roots. A solid rhythm section (drummer Russ and bassist Kris Bowring) anchors the arrangements, while tasteful flourishes from guest veterans Randy Casey (guitar) and Pete Sands (keyboards) create a broad musical palette.
