Biografia:
A Rusted Root é uma banda de Pittsburgh, Pensilvânia, conhecida por sua fusão de rock, ao estilo bluegrass da Grateful Dead, com uma forte seção rítmica, e influenciada pela música africana, latina, indiana e dos nativos americanos.
O grupo formou-se em 1988 e fez seu debute, de forma independente, com o disco "Cruel Sun", em 1992, depois relançado em 2002. Mas a sua estréia por uma grande gravadora aconteceu em 1994, com "When I Woke", um sucesso nas rádios universitárias americanas e disco de platina. O álbum atingiu o 33º lugar no Top 40, no início de 1995. Paralelamente às suas apresentações ao vivo, a banda contribuiu para as trilhas sonoras dos filmes "Twister" e "Home For The Holidays" (nota minha: "Feriados Em Família", em português). O próximo disco foi "Remember", de 1996, seguido de "Rusted Root", de 1998, e "Welcome To My Party", de 2002. "Welcome To My Party" foi criticado pelos fãs, que são carinhosamente conhecidos como "rootheads". Muitos acharam que a troca do groove tribal por um som mais pop foi uma tentativa de tornar a banda mais comercial. "Remember" alcançou o Top 40 nos Estados Unidos, enquanto "Rusted Root" teve sua venda impulsionada pela utilização do cover dos Rolling Stones, "You Can’t Always Get What You Want", gravado no disco, num episódio de Ally McBeal. Um álbum ao vivo duplo apareceu em 2004. Seu disco de "grandes sucessos" foi lançado em abril de 2005, como parte da série "20th Century Masters", da Universal Music. A banda lançou três EPs, "Evil Ways", "Airplane" e "Live", o último acompanhado de um documentário.
A música "Send Me On My Way", que chegou ao 72º lugar na Billboard Hot 100, em 1995, é a canção mais popular, comercialmente, da banda. Ela foi utilizada nas trilhas sonoras de "Matilda", "Ice Age" (nota minha: no Brasil, "A Era Do Gelo"); no filme "Pie In The Sky" (nota minha: no Brasil, "Corações Em Trânsito"), de 1996, no filme "Race The Sun" (nota minha: no Brasil, "Corrida Rumo Ao Sol"), no programa "Are We There Yet: World Adventure", da YTV, do Canadá, e no vídeo promocional da Boy Scouts Of America, Order Of The Arrow Philmont Trail Crew, lançado no final de 1990. A música também apareceu nos programas de televisão "Party Of Five" e "Homicide".
Embora a banda continue a excursionar, seus dias de rígidas turnês parecem ter acabado, já que os seus integrantes estão dedicando mais tempo a projetos individuais. Michael Glabicki lançou um álbum solo ("Uprooted"), assim como também o fizeram Liz Berlin ("AudioBioGraphical"), Patrick Norman ("Digital World") e Jenn Wertz, com sua banda Isabella (também do disco "Lovechild"), e o seu atual lançamento, "Shotgun Sessions". Jim DiSpirito, ex-percussionista da banda, também lançou "Big Silence", em 2003.
De maneira independente, o baterista Jim Donovan lançou cinco CDs solo altamente aclamados, bem como quatro CDs ensinando a tocar bateria. Seus mais recentes lançamentos são "Drum The Ecstatic International", "The Yoga Of Drum And Chant" e uma série instrucional de bateria, chamada "Rhythmic Foundation Volumes 1 And 2". Cumprindo a sua vontade de compartilhar o poder do ritmo, Donovan tem realizado uma série de workshops de bateria nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, passando por universidades, festivais, escolas, empresas e eventos especializados. Recentemente, Donovan tornou-se instrutor de música, em tempo integral, na Saint Francis University, em Loretto, Pensilvânia, e é o atual diretor da Saint Francis University World Drumming Ensemble. Donovan também assina uma coluna mensal na revista "Drum!" (Wikipedia; tradução livre do inglês).
