SUMMARY:Sean Rowe
DESCRIPTION:Sean Rowe has been playing a haunted cover of Bruce Springsteen
 's "The River" on tour lately\, usually using only his battered Takamine a
 coustic guitar\, a harmonica and his well-deep\, Old Testament baritone vo
 ice. It might give an impression — abetted by his impressive beard — t
 hat Rowe\, originally from Troy\, NY\, is some Dust Bowl folkie throwback.
 \n\nBut his albums paint a richer picture. Magic\, Rowe's 2010 debut\, is 
 full of singer-songwriter balladry with Leonard Cohen echoes\, rock 'n' ro
 ll outbursts and spooky modern production. Its follow-up\, The Salesman an
 d the Shark\, adds offbeat junk-shop arrangements that recall labelmate To
 m Waits. Madman shows Rowe twinning his styles together with new elements:
  soul\, blues\, gospel\, R&amp\;B.\n\nIf there's a spiritual forebear to M
 adman\, it's Van Morrison\, whose best records have woven the above styles
  (and more) into seamless cloth. Exhibit A: Madman's title track\, with it
 s handclaps\, brass\, bright melody\, and burly "whoa-whoas." But there's 
 cryptic humor here that's all Rowe's own ("You can call me a madman / but 
 I'm spoken for.") The manic mix of "Shine My Diamond Ring\," with its barr
 elhouse blues swagger and screaming gutbucket sax\, shows a man who likes 
 rough textures and exposed seams. But maybe the most striking number is "D
 esiree\," a Motown-styled reverie with scats and screams\; if only Amy Win
 ehouse were around to make it a duet.\n\nAt the core of every song is Rowe
 's remarkable voice\, which sounds inescapably melancholy\, tremendously s
 exy\, and often slightly menacing. It does all sorts of things well\, and 
 its full range is on display here. It seems worth mentioning Rowe's intere
 st in foraging and wild-crafting (see his series of videos on the many use
 s of milkweed). It's the idea of taking the bounty that's out there\, and 
 of using your skills to transform it into something useful\, beautiful\, r
 emarkable. It's what Rowe does with his music\, too.\n\n- See more at: htt
