Conjuring up the spirit of legendary producer Joe Boyd, The Court and Spark's new album "Witch Season" has all the elements of folk-rock music so near and dear to my heart. Led by singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist MC Taylor, with lead guitarist Scott Hirsch, The Court and Spark's roots are in the punkier, Ex-Ignota. Meeting up with drummer James Kim after that band's demise they began playing quieter music. After a move to San Francisco, lap steel guitarist Tom Heyman completed the ensemble and they began making music that has been compared to The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Low. |
