Dakota Nights by Peter Elman takes the listener on a musical journey across America, with original pieces ranging from beautiful acoustic to rollicking road music. With the synthesizer used sparingly and a wealth of instruments such as piano, acoustic guitar, violin, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, harmonica and pedal steel guitar (to name a few) the album has a full, live band feel rather than the stiff, highly technological sound common to a lot of music. It feels more grounded and earthy. If Dakota Nights could be described in terms of fabric, it would be called it calico silk; This wonderful instrumental release evokes imagery of a country dance 100 years ago when times were simpler, with sweeping expanses of wheat-gold as far as the eye can see, wind-tanned faces and places of the heartland. Yet with its country feel, this album is jazzy, stylish and smooth.
