Chris Kasper released Bagabones on October 1, 2013. The self-produced, indie output is the 4th album from the Philadelphia mainstay. Bagabones was written in a small cabin owned by Chris’s late uncle in West Hurley, NY, just outside the town of Woodstock. The energy of Woodstock danced its way into these songs, along with the calm of Byrdcliffe Mountain and a generous homage to Chris’s musical heroes. While the album was engineered by Matt Muir of Kawari Studios and mastered by Philly soul producer Jim Salamone ( Teddy Pendergrass ), Chris Kasper stepped into the role of producer and arranger for this new work. Despite Bagabones being Chris Kasper's fourth album, this is my first album to listen to for Kasper as a relative new-comer to the Philadelphia scene. I knew of Chris Kasper only by reputation from others in the scene. In fact when going to his album release show in late September, I went without knowing any of his work, but it felt like a must-see after
