CD Review: Tim O'Brien - Chameleon

Tim O'Brien's last release was in the form of two separate albums: Fiddler's Green and Cornbread Nation were two remarkable albums paying tribute to traditional music via various collaborations and full-band arrangements of traditional Celtic and southern songs, respectively. Now he's back with a killer solo songwriter record full of country- and blues-inspired original folk songs.

Tim O'Brien's career has been built on the sheer fact that the man can seemingly do anything musically. Navel-gazing folk songs, check. High-powered bluegrass fiddle tunes, check. Meandering mandolin noodling, check. Toe-tapping blues tunes, check. Classic old timey Celtic and American gospel songs, check. Bazouki, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, vocals...get the point?
