John Hasbrouck : Ice Cream
© John Hasbrouck 2003
John Hasbrouck burst onto the national acoustic music scene with the release of his critically-acclaimed debut cd, Ice Cream – cited by Acoustic Guitar as one of the Top CDs of 2002. His second release, Some These Days (June 2004), is a deep meditation on American Roots Music.
It demonstrates Hasbrouck's firm grasp on the rich musical heritage that has shaped his art over three decades of music-making.
“(Ice Cream is a) whimsical gem, melding Delta blues with John Fahey-and Michael Hedges-style picking and a wicked sense of humor...(Hasbrouck) projects a postmodern whimsy...like a cross between Kelly Joe Phelps and Lou Reed.” – Acoustic Guitar
“(Ice Cream) is a well-recorded, wonderfully diverse collection... to be savored through repeated listening.” – minor7th.com
“(Hasbrouck) plays in a haunting way...with fingerpicking and slide that are funky, bent and altogether exceptional.” – Music Matters Review

John Hasbrouck : Some These Days
Solo Acoustic Guitar
Working with indie recording engineer Steve Albini, Hasbrouck has produced a follow-up to the critically-acclaimed ICE CREAM that is rootsy, dense, and personal. SOME THESE DAYS is a many-sided collection of vocal tracks and instrumentals, originals and covers. Hasbrouck's original compositions are sometimes moody, sometimes playful, often emotionally complex, and always daring.
