Berkley Hart Selis Twang is the first collaborative CD released by UK sweetheart Eve Selis, Marc 'Twang' Intravaia, Calaman Hart and Jeffrey Berkley. The four have recently been on tour together from San Diego, promoting the CD in the UK and it is safe to say that the songs went down a treat.

Once combined, their songwriting, musicianship, vocals and harmonies, are a force to be reckoned with. Covering all musical bases, the CD effortlessly encompasses, country, Americana, rock and bluegrass. Alternating lead vocals and harmonies, the musicianship on guitar from Jeffrey and Marc is both stunning and intuitive, adding a wonderful depth to each song. Calman also adds harmonica and the eagle eared among you may spot some bass and banjo. Eve and Calman, demonstrate their awesome vocal talents as they switch between lead vocals and harmonies; their voices blending together beautifully.

I am not going to spoil the often humorous stories behind some of the songs and it is impossible to pick out any specifically as they all stand out as exceptional, be they ballads or uptempo. I will, however, say that with songs such as Tomorrow on Mind, Life Won't Wait, Boomerang Love, This Is Home, California Mountain Time, Don't Say Goodbye, If I Lost You, Oh Washington, Burning alright and Peaceful Easy Feeling, to name just some, this is a must for all Eve Selis and Berkley Hart fans and a great introduction to all four if their names are new to you!

If you are in any doubt, head on over to Eve Selis' bandcamp page, where you can listen to the initial few songs the foursome released on an EP. If they don't leave you wanting more....well...they will.
