My friend Charlie Peacock is about to release a new CD, the
first vocal album he’s recorded in 13 years. The video here was recorded at The
Art House in Nashville, where Charlie and Andi live and where Charlie has his
recording studio. He wrote “Big River” years ago, but this is the first time
he’s recorded it. He was joined by Andy Leftwich (mandolin) and Bryan Sutton
(acoustic guitar) while Sam Ashworth filmed the session.
There is a simple and haunting sound here, something that
draws you in so you wish you could be sitting beside a river with nothing more
important to do than watch it flow past. There is something inevitable about
such motion, like the passage of time, which can be accepted as a gift or
fought, as if our efforts can somehow transform reality. This is a wonderful
recording, a reason to yearn for more.
