Six Degrees of Separation becomes brotherhood when it comes to the Bacon Brothers CD’s. Kevin Bacon is better known for his acting chops in over 70 ensemble cast movies. His brother Michael, a cellist and composer, is the musician of the duo. Their self-deprecating folksy, familial, collegiate style defies easy categorization and their CD’s are not readily available locally but they’re worth the effort.
No word on what Betsy and Kyra think about “Woman’s Got a Mind to Change”. As enjoyable as I’ve found their music over the years since the release of Forosco ten years ago listening to the brothers introduce their songs and comment on the context that led to their composition adds immeasurably to the experience. The DVD version of this live concert is even more fun. Forosco, by the bye is a brand of guitar pick.
