Whether you call it poetry, spoken word or performance art, this is a well-done CD. Taken in a piece at a time or listened to all at a sitting, it works. Eliet’s voice is pleasing to the ear and matches perfectly with the soundscaping provided by a litany of Riverwesters and friends. Paul Setser, Paul (the fly) Lawson, Richard Pinney, The Aimless Blades, and Mariah Myerson all provide music for the poems. Tequila Dreams adds a restaurant background soundtrack to a number of readers you might recognize, including Frank Chandek, Paul Cotter, Rhonda Greenhaw Wood, Rustle of Luv, Voot Warnings, and more.
