(Sep. 2004)
An album recorded live and with an ear and mind toward song craft Genauer seamlessly melds the two and uniquely bridges that gap once and for all. The disc's nine songs are a mix of new AOD songs and re-imagined versions of songs Genauer wrote for his former band, Strangefolk. Culled from a show in Troy, NY in early 2004,
The Honest Hour, the band's spirited sophomore disc, boasts both the open-sky breeziness and energy of a live show, but also the pristine production of a studio album. The songs on
The Honest Hour are genuine, timeless, and substantive: a testament to critics who early on dubbed Genauer one of the most vital voices, singers, storytellers and songwriters of today's live music scene.
