Let's Go Dancing: Split a Mountain in Two With a Flake of Snow is the second of four seasonal albums released as part of the Kevn Kinney living tribute project organized by his wife, Anna Jensen. Anna explains, What started as a milestone birthday celebration for one of the best people I've ever known, snowballed into a tribute of the highest caliber for one of the greatest artists the world has known... yet who remains unknown by so many even after 40 years of laudable output, both solo and as lyricist/frontman of Drivin n Cryin (22 releases and counting). I am hoping this astounding compilation will help rectify that as the population at large deserves to be touched by this important, profound music. Those who know of Kevn and his legacy of thought provoking, soul stirring songs can attest to how life changing this man and his audible visions can be. He has always been ahead of his time, channeling messages on tough topics then ingeniously transforming them into pleasing forms that can be assimilated by all in a joyful way; never forcing, never didactic. His body of work is astonishingly vast and spans genres, so the collection is organized in four parts. Each starts with the title track Let's Go Dancing, reimagined in a new way and every volume is subtitled based on a lyric from that song. The first installment, Said the Firefly to the Hurricane, leans toward an indie avant-garde vibe, with sprinklings of the high-octane 'drivin' and also the tender 'cryin' elements that are interwoven throughout Kevn's catalog as a whole. This followup grouping, Split a Mountain in Two With a Flake of Snow, brings more of a country/roots feel from bluegrass to gospel. Each record in the collection is, from start to finish, of exceptional musical quality and each fantastic artist/group 'brought their A+ game' to do this incredible material justice. Proceeds from physical sales benefit: -Alegandro Escovedo's SIMS Foundation offering mental health and addiction services for folks in the music industry. -Ike Stubblefield's affiliated How Big is Your Dream, an education-based youth empowerment organization -Shelly Colvin's Out of the Woods Foundation inspired by her son Judge; helps kids with spinal cord and brain injuries -Tom Gray's suggested FarmLink Project partnering farmers with food banks to tackle food waste AND food insecurity -Jesse Malin's Sweet Relief rehabilitation fund Streaming/digital will benefit the individual artists and each artist will also own their master for future uses, so it's a win win win.
