"Beautiful... It's another tip of the iceberg he's been building all along, clear and lucid. Eight of the compositions are his, one co-written with Kris Delmhorst, one by Kurt Cobain, and one by John Coltrane. The measure of his writing is that his own tune, "Truro", sits between Cobain and Coltrane, and it holds its own there, a marvel of compact meaning, combining surprise and inevitability. Words are poor tools here. This is like trying to describe the smell of the front hall of your childhood home, or the color of water. It's guitar-based music, but it's not guitar music. It's music. I don't even know what kind. Ellington said there were only two kinds: good and bad. This is the good kind. I think Ellington would have agreed with me on that." –Peter Mulvey | |||||||

A collection of melodic, acoustic compositions melding improvisation and arrangement, layered instrumentation and simplicity, bringing a jazz sensibility to a uniquely folk vision. |

 |
"I just finished listening to Accidentals of the West and it's great—everything sounds purposeful but not predictable. It's great, just great." –Chris Smither "simply beautiful. the melodies are plain spoken and invite you to follow; then they lead to some unexpected places…eerily familiar tunes you've never heard before. not quite standards, not quite old fiddle tunes, not quite blues tunes... but from somewhere near where each of those things come from." –Peter Mulvey | |||||||

| Failure of the Doping Summit
A recording of improvisation-based electric and acoustic music influenced by strains of African, blues and surrealist traditions, Failure of the Doping Summit moves through a moody aural landscape characteristic of Goody's intuitive, evocative sound. |
||||
 |
"The compositions act as natural fulcrums to a multitude of styles…walking through it is to be touched with freshness and serendipity. Overall, Failure of the Doping Summit has a rare kind of musicality, and a generosity of spirit which speaks volumes." –Trip: the journal of psychedelic culture. "It's kind of like Ry Cooder meets Brian Eno in a dark alley, and kicks his ass." –Peter Mulvey | |||
