Description
Copper Kettle is a five Piece Bluegrass Band out of NYC. We play in a strong traditional style with our own unique sound. All of the songs on this CD are originals written by Fred Skellenger.
Notes
The cd kicks!.... "Copper Kettle does bluegrass that the boyz & galz in the hood can get down with"

Wow Fred your a song writin' super star! Some good stuff on this CD. Played cuts from it this last Sunday on my Radio show and also on my Monday morning show played the Title tune on my Noon day show on www. worldwidebluegrass. com

Fred,
Thanks for selling me the CD, which I listened to today ...
repeatedly ... it is excellent !!! Several or rather eleven hits.
I will NOT be exercising the money back guarantee you offered. Jeffrey R.
------------------------------------------------------------
The CD sounds solid. It kicks off really nicely, and the songs are
straight ahead good bluegrass. I think that "Long Pine Box" is my
favorite track on the disc. Matt Winters- WKCR -Moonshine show
-------------------------------------------------------------
The new album is dead set absolutely brilliant!!
You have clearly mastered the difficult art of playing everything in a minor key, writing and singing songs about heartbreak, human misery and assorted profound human issues and making every song sound extremely happy!!
I have often remarked in my shows that bluegrass is the only musical form I know where people can be murdered all over the place and we still pick and grin and sound extremely happy, and if ever that is true it is certainly true of your new album. I love it.

Wow! Copper Kettle's new CD, Poison On Your Mind, showed up the other day, and took me quite by surprise. With so many new groups out there these days, it's getting harder to develop a unique sound. It was refreshing to listen to this bluegrass band from, of all places, Brooklyn, NY. It's NewGrass for sure, but it's really good. If you like the young, innovative influences to grass music, you'll like Copper Kettle. I'd love to see them live. I can imagine a stage show worth writing about.

Poison on your mind
Bluegrass Music Profiles
By Kevin Kerfoot
I always enjoy hearing a project that contains
Original material and Copper Kettle has done
Just that with 11 songs penned and produces
by Fred Skellenger. Following on the heels
of its first project, Coal Rabbit, this is highly
entertaining from the cover design to the
original song ideas,breaks, arrangements and
intros.Oftentimes, one instrument will begin
the tune with the other four falling in place.
The male lead vocalshave a mountain/folk/
Country feel to them and the harmonies,
Wich include male and female voices blend
Nicely. The styles range from uptempo and
Mid-tempo numbers to slow ballads. There's
Also the jazzy Black Crow Blues and mandolin
Lead ballad You're His To Keep. Favorites
Include the lonesome By My Side; the uptempo
Long Pine Box, featuring lots of banjo and fiddle;
And the nice blend of harmonies on Wicked Heart.
Great job guys-and girl!

Copper Kettle
Reviewed by Kevin Oliver
Most people unfamiliar with bluegrass tend to lump it all into one generic sound, when in fact it has as many subgenres as more popular forms like rock or R&B. There's slick newgrass, gospel bluegrass, traditional mountain grass and more. Though they hail from the non-rural environs of New York City, Copper Kettle's sound is definitely on the more traditional side of bluegrass with more than a few similarities to Del McCoury, especially in the vocals.
The quartet's second CD continues in their all-original songwriting style. They are not flashy instrumentally, which puts more pressure on the songs themselves to hold a listener's interest. Thankfully mandolinist Fred Skellenger has come up with some credible-sounding murder ballads and story songs like, "Mourning Sun," "Wicked Heart" and the swinging, "Black Crow Blues," which pay tribute to their traditional bluegrass and old-time influences without trivializing them into vaudevillian caricatures.

COPPER KETTLE—POISON ON YOUR MIND
[September 2008 Issue]
No Label, NB005.
"Poison On Your Mind" is the latest recording project from Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Copper Kettle band. Its contents are similar to their previous endeavor (BU, August '07) in that all 11 titles were composed by bandmember Fred Skellenger (mandolin and vocals). Skellenger's compositions and verse structure emit a fascinating aura as is reflected in such titles as "Wicked Heart," "Crying Quietly," and "Long Pine Box." "Poison On Your Mind" is original bluegrass music performed at a high degree of perfection and professionalism., www.copperkettleband.com.)
