about

Holland & Dozier were 3 of the major songwriting engines of the unforgettable Motown Sound. No urban summer would have a fraction of the vibe without the Motown Sixties soundtrack. And The Supremes reigned supreme for many of those years, with Diana Ross's mysteriously tender vocals in everyone's ears. This song is one of the most intense of breakup songs, with a rising tide of emotion toward the end that is unparallelled in pop music of that era. We went with the pounding near-hysteria that the original conjures, with bass virtuoso Ethan Jodziewicz duplicating James Jamerson's original byzantine electric bass line on the big acoustic... and who can conjure hysteria better than Greg Lizst on the 5-string banjo? Re-imagined as a phone message in response to an inaccessible not-quite-Ex, Emy's vocal showcases her extensive theatrical background.

lyrics

Why don't you be a man about it, and set me free? You don't care a thing about me, you're just usin' me! Get out, get out, get out of my life , and let me sleep at night! 'Cause you don't really love me... you just keep me hangin' on.

Peripheral Visions
by Grant Gordy

It's simply the best music to come out of Acoustic String bands for this decade or any decade. Deeply emotional, atmospheric, virtuosic, deeply embedded in Jazz and original string expressions. darol anger

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
