Song of the Week - Kevin Fox

Kevin Fox - Away Too Long
Album: Songs for Cello and Voice

It's always nice to hear about a new artist that's typically found as a back-up to many greats. With the exception of Yo-Yo Ma, cello players never get their time in the limelight. Kevin Fox has recently released his third album, Set Right, but he is still often an unknown background personality composing for bigger names such as pop sensation Justin Bieber and regularly touring with another great Canadian artist, Chantal Kreviazuk.

All the while, Kevin Fox has created a solo album that really simplifies the music down to, as his album states, his cello and voice. The combination creates a soft, relaxed feel that, despite the melancholy, creeps into the foreground of the room. One just has to sit back and listen.
