What? Where?

Last Forever is Dick Connette, songwriter, arranger, and keyboardist, Sonya Cohen, vocalist, and Scott Lehrer, producer and recording engineer; the album is called Trainfare Home. This music is elegiac, funky, raucous and stately. It is traditional in the sense that it often refers back to an earlier time – the fifties for instance. In the case of Last Forever that could be the 1850s and/or the 1950s. The past is evoked but somehow the music sounds right up to date.

When I go looking for Last Forever albums for my friends and loved ones nobody in brick and mortar retail seems to know exactly where to look, i.e. in which section. Is it Folk, Country, Classical, Rock? I'd call it the "Very Good Indeed" Section. Like its name implies the music of Last Forever is enduring and indestructible.
