KOHRS
I'm Torn
Released 2004
Randy
Kohrs is
a talented, distinctive dobroist and
singer who’s appeared on a growing
list of albums by bluegrass, Americana
and mainstream country artists alike.
For many musicians, that might be enough,
but Kohrs has a bigger role in mind,
and his third solo album finds him
not only playing and singing lead,
but producing, engineering, and writing
or co-writing almost all of the material.
It’s a bold move, but in most
respects, Kohrs pulls it off with distinction.

Packaging
is a clear jewel case with an 8-panel
lyric booklet.
NOTE: There is no CD shipping charge for US orders. Shipping fees for non-U.S. destinations are listed on the drop down menu with each album.
Though Kohrs is a broad-ranging musician – his
last album consisted of vintage honky-tonk – he
sticks pretty much to bluegrass on “I’m
Torn” with the exception of
a classic-sounding acoustic country
duet with Dolly Parton on the Carl Jackson and Pam
Tillis divorce story “It
Looked Good on Paper” and the
bittersweet “Fifty Good Years.” Helping
out are two different sets of musicians,
one consisting of players familiar
to anyone keeping an eye on the bluegrass
scene, the other of up-and-coming
youngsters who one suspects, will
be familiar soon, including the superb Patton Wages on banjo and mandolin
phenom Aaron Ramsey.
Kohrs has always had a unique melodic
sense and edgy tone to his playing,
and
there’s plenty of that here. Those who have heard him only as a harmony
singer will be pleased to find his leads are strong and expressive.
