KARISMAKATZ 'SPIRIT ON THE RISE' CD NOW AVAILABLE
Don't Cry Sister (copyright The Blues Cowgirls 2005)
"This album is something special... superb performances... lyrically powerful and
thought provoking... a strong message of getting on with life through adversity...
the spirit and adaptability of love shine through beautifully..."
Phil Birch-Marston, Artsound FM

  DJ Gosper, harp/vocals/songwriting and Christo Carlsen, guitars, have produced a
very interesting album that is going to be hard for anyone to pigeon hole (so I won’t
try!!) ... Both are highly regarded for their blues playing in the Canberra scene and
not although standard blues this album certainly covers the blues’ most important
ingredient, feel. 14 original tracks covering over an hour of material traverses
through style’s, genres, rhythms, grooves even sparseness! Lyrics and music combine
to paint a picture of places, events and people with travel through the mystic, even
some free association? These are songs about real things, born from experience,
both true and imagined, love, pain, joy, sex, cars, family, mortality, spirit, drugs and
psychology to name but a few. When it does all this it doesn’t need to be pigeon
holed as it will mean so many things to so many people.
