Tony Barnard & Casey Golden – Inventions

Who would have thought such depth and diversity could come from just two instruments.

The preceding statement is the easiest way to describe the new record from Tony Barnard and Casey Golden. Inventions has the two artists combine their powers to produce a record which makes for a lovely soundtrack to any day.

Blending Tony Barnard’s exquisite playing on a 21 string harp guitar with the silkiness of Casey Golden on piano has created a record which is truely unique. The blending of instruments on this record is something to behold as the musicians seamlessly pass the focus back and forth between each other.

The moments that truely standout though are when both instruments are allowed to shine together, which can be a difficult task to conquer, but is done quite often on Inventions.
