Notes
This fourth album from Boston-based husband-and-wife duo Matt & Shannon Heaton features traditional songs and tunes about love and loss. Produced by Eric Merrill (Crooked Still, Lissa Schneckenburger, Rachael Davis), WGBH's Brad Paul called it, "a fantastic blend of deft musicianship and solid vocals.' Firmly rooted in Irish traditional style, and also brimming with American musicianship and attitude, "LOVERS' WELL" brings both timeless and modern touches to centuries-old love songs. The title track "Golden Glove" (aka Lovers' Well) is a giddy tale of infatuation and unorthodox courtship; "Lily of the West" details a desperate obsession leading to murder; in "Lady Fair" a sailor returns to his love in disguise; "Lao Dueng Duen" is a Thai serenade from the 10th century: "Where the Moorcocks Crow" is about love at first sight. "Bay of Biscay," "Botany Bay," and "Lover's Lament" all deal with parting, the saddest aspect of love. Guest musicians include Keith Murphy (mandolin, guitar, piano, backing vocals on Botany Bay) and Dan Gurney (accordion). Percussive dancers Kieran Jordan and Nic Gareiss each add feet to a track, demonstrating Matt and Shannon's connection to traditional dance. Kieran wrote, 'Matt and Shannon play happy, bouncy tunes with a persistent groove that makes me want to dance. Their arrangements are complex yet always tasteful, inviting both lyrical and percussive movement. I use their recordings in every aspect of my work - for dance warm-ups, choreography, rehearsal, and performance. This is inspired dance music-it will appeal to Irish dancers at every level!" ON RECORDING THE ALBUM: 'Conceptualizing and recording "Lover's Well" was very much a labor of love for us. Several factors shaped this collection. While assembling songs for the record, we realized that each song told a tale of love, of one kind or another: one is a giddy tale of infatuation and unorthodox courtship; one tells of a desperate obsession that leads to murder; in one a sailor returns to his love in disguise; and the rest deal with parting, that sad and central aspect of love. Meanwhile, while assembling sets of tunes for the album, we began working with dancer/choreographer Kieran Jordan to explore ways to tighten the connection of percussive dance with arranged traditional Irish music. Inspired by this marriage of tradition and innovation in music and dance, we intend all of the tunes here for dancing and dance practice. You may notice the titles of the tunes are also love-themed! Finally, while deciding where to record, our friend Sarah James offered her cottage in Wellfleet on Cape Cod, and producer/engineer Eric Merrill agreed to load up his gear and spend a week recording there with us. Eric's holistic musicianship, beautiful engineering, humor and love guided us through the project, from start to finish. The result of the material (love songs and tunes), our creative team, and the forest home in which we recorded made for a thoughtful, natural, and sweet working process which captured the music in the spirit it was intended. The tracks have an organic nature about them-cricket chirps, bird calls, and the pattering of rain all made their way into the microphones. There was no isolation booth or clock to watch. We cooked together, walked on the beach, and weathered Hurricane Hannah, all while playing the music you hear on this album. For a few days we were treated to the impeccable and transcendent playing of Keith Murphy and Dan Gurney, whose ideas and playing helped shape the sound of the album... and our own well of musical experiences." --Matt & Shannon Heaton HEATON HISTORY Matt met Shannon when she was an undergrad at Northwestern University. She needed a guitar player for a friend's wedding: she'd gotten three names of grad students from the guitar teacher at the University. Matt was second on the list, but the first guy wasn't home when Shannon called him. Though Shannon had a travelling background (she had lived in Th
