"Pedal steel guitarist Bruce Kaphan has a rare gift: he makes music that sounds indisputably new. Bruce has recorded and/or toured with a diverse crowd, from David Byrne, Thomas Dolby, and Mike Errico to The Black Crowes, Jewel, and REM. Accordingly, his latest album, Bruce Kaphan Quartet, finds him at high levels of creativity, conviction, and craftsmanship, using pedals, knee levers, and a metal bar on strings with an easy authority."
