Details:
Kalichiâs work draws inspiration from Rumiâs mystical love poems as well as the songwriting of Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.


âIâd like to imagine that Iâm linked with the tradition of the troubadour, the poet-musicians who brought Europe literature, a vision of egalitarian politics, an ethos of comradery and the belief in the redemptive power of love.â


Time for the Turning. A song cycle of redemptive love and of loving that spins towards the light, that gifts its lovers with a âcrazy sense of futureâ. Here are songs rooted in loveâs varied sources, personal, spiritual, sexual; in lullaby and healing; in waiting for those kisses we need; songs hewn from flawed relationships and from public as well as personal tragedy. At the core of this Time for the Turning cycle lurk two powerful contrasts, âIn This Towerâ on the Twin Towers falling, and âAge Old Questionsâ, a lullaby for a baby daughter. Kalichiâs lyrics confront and inspire, tell stories and open dreams.


As Kalichi writes, these are â
songs from the heartâs lowlands where loss strips you of what is familiar. Where falling into the water of unknowing, you look for signs and a purification is called for, a pouring out from the eyes. And where tears burn away all that blocks the true sunâs arrival. Then the crazy sense of future may come â out through your heart like a radiant sun. Come on, let the crazy sense of future come â let it come, let it come.
