Irish vocalist Maura O'Connell, one of whose CDs Douglas produced, appears in the tasteful arrangement. <<>> The album's title track, Lookout for Hope is a kind of acoustic jam, the 10-minute long piece written by jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, with whom Douglas did an album.
While the Dobro will immediately grab your attention, Maura O’Connell’s voice on "Footsteps Fall" is beautifully recorded, as is Taylor’s. In fact, the vocals are so well recorded, I wish there were more of them on this album.
Lookout for Hope is the eighth solo album by dobro player Jerry Douglas, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music). It reached number 5 on the Billboard Top New Age chart. The title piece was written by guitarist Bill Frisell who released an album with the same title in 1988.
The arrangements vary from a bare bones approach — just dobro — to fuller ones that utilize drums and saxophone. Two pieces include vocals, one by Maura O’Connell and one by James Taylor.
Blue Is the Colour of Hope is an album by the Irish musician Maura O'Connell, released in 1992. She supported the album with a North American tour that included shows with Loudon Wainwright III. The album title comes from a line by J. D. Salinger.
“Footsteps Fall”, while a showcase for Maura O’Connell’s vocals, has some winsome, elegant phrasing on both dobro and lap steel. The sprawling title track (by Bill Frisell), on the other hand, plunges into jam jazz.
As the album is so new to me I haven't had the time to establish favourites although the tracks 'Footsteps Fall' with Maura O'Connell vocals and 'Lookout For Hope, the title track stand out. another good one is 'The Suit' featuring James Taylor vocals.
