Arlen Roth
Toolin' Around Woodstock
Album US 2008 on Aquinnah Records label
Rock
" February 2008 CD from veteran guitar maestro Arlen Roth, with a selection of rootsy classics drawing from the music of Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Buck Owens, Bob Dylan, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee and others. The record was recorded at Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock, NY. Levon plays drums on 12 of the 14 tracks. He also sings the lead vocal on 2 of them including an incredible version of "Sweet Little Sixteen" and the Buck Owens chestnut "Cryin' Time." Other guests on the album include Sonny Landreth, Bill Kirchen, Amy Helm, and Arlen's daughter Lexie. Bass was handled by Paul Ossola & Mike Merritt, keyboards and accordion by Brian Mitchell, drums by Joe Bonadio, and rhythm guitar by Matt Rae. The recording sessions were filmed and a free bonus DVD featuring candid "behind the scenes" footage of the proceedings in Levon's studio was included with the initial pressing. The album is produced by Arlen Roth and Jon Gershen. Gershen recorded with Garth Hudson and Richard Manuel in the '70s as a member of the group Borderline."
