Nate Wooley — Ancient Songs of Burlap Heroes (Pyroclastic)

Photo by Julia Dratel

Ancient Songs of Burlap Heroes by Nate Wooley

The second album by Nate Wooley’s Columbia Icefield band adopts an almost Tom Petty-like stance vis-a-vis hard luck. His liner note reads, “This album is dedicated to those who recognize living as a heroic act: the occupiers of sunup barstools; the cubicle-planted; the ghosts of Greyhounds; the reasonably sketchy. A Burlap hero is one who marches—consciously or not— back to the sea in hopes of making no splash, who understands and embraces the imperfection of being, and in that way, stretches the definition of sainthood to fit.”

The music’s sound can easily resonate with suffering. Each ensemble performance plays out at length, with two or three players moving at a pace that would make it easy for the titular glacier to keep up while one or two generates stress from within. The core band contains musicians — guitarist Mary Halvorson, pedal steel guitarist Susan Alcorn, drummer Ryan Sawyer — who are equally adept at inhabiting and subverting stasis, and guest Mat Maneri and Trevor Dunn thicken the atmosphere with further murky layers of (respectively) viola and electric bass. Framing them are much shorter pieces constructed from icefield recordings and amplified trumpet exhalations so cold that they’ll turn blood to slushy ice. 

When he takes the lead, Wooley’s horn comes wreathed in reverb, floating gradually decaying melodies that hover like Miles Davis blowing cold and lonely from that ski-lift overhead.  Taken in combination with the CD’s frosty artwork, this could almost be The Great Lost Miles Davis ECM Record, with production and imagery converging far up the fjord where the snow never melts. In the past, when Wooley has taken on an historic monolith, he’s talked about it. This time, there’s no direct commentary, but a sympathetic vibration emerges. The ECM look and sound was nothing if not romantic, and Petty sang about losers in order to celebrate them. There’s a moment partway through Ancient Songs of Burlap Heroes where the action bogs down in a puddle of melting water, and then rouses itself for another round of baleful, slow-motion melody; you can almost imagine the musicians taking turns putting down their instruments and coming over to pull a coat around the trudging hero’s shoulder.

REVIEW: Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life (1976)

PAT METHENY – Bright Size Life (1976 ECM) The eight tracks that make up Pat Metheny’s debut album Bright Size Life are exactly what I was looking for.  They hit the spot. One Saturday afternoon in the summer I was enjoying instrumental jazz on the front porch.  I wanted more, and was recommended Bright Size Life by jazz enthusiast Robert Lawson.  The presence of the legendary Jaco Pastorius on…

My father wrote "Blues For Pat" for his guitarist friend Pat Metheny. The tune originally appeared on the Metheny/Haden/Higgins LP Rejoicing (1984, ECM).
