about

Over the years, “Icarus” has proved itself to be a “song for all seasons.” In this iteration, seven years after our original recording of it on the Road album, the guitar of Oscar Castro-Neves, and the snare drum of Steve Gadd, bring it to Brazil. There is, to me, an elegance and a majesty to this laidback version.

The tribe on this performance was part of the Common Ground “village” of musicians who came together at my farm that summer to make this album. You can also hear Susan Osborn’s voice, and Bill Cahn’s steel-drums, if you listen carefully.

David’s signature embellishments, throughout, are the icing on the cake.
