Stirring the Soul with Strings by Brad Bucholtz

Imagine what might happen, suggests Taylor, if we took Austin's most popular singer-songwriters -- Abra Moore, or Jimmy LaFave, or Patrice Pike, or Ray Wylie Hubbard -- and let them perform, live, in a church? Then imagine if you paired those artists with acoustic "chamber" instruments -- cello, violin, viola, trumpet and hand drums -- and wrote new arrangements, adding dashes of jazz and classical music, that revealed new facets of their most beautiful or familiar songs?Imagine what might happen if you dared to blur all these boundaries between pop music and jazz, between rock music and classical music, between the musical realm and the lyrical realm, between the honky-tonk and the church, and in the spirit of art and fun and experimentation, you reached out for something . . . transcendent? Imagine.

Will Taylor and his acoustic ensemble stage this dream at St. David's Episcopal Church once a month.

"The singers, all apparently inspired by the setting, gave extra thoughtful, extra intense efforts. If this album has a theme, it is celebration of the human spirit and the joy of musicians getting together to participate in an uplifting performance. Truly a feel-good album for a most worthy cause. Collaborations is a stirring, memorable work." MT, Sing Out Magazine.
