Traum has been featured on more than 35 albums. He has produced or recorded with such luminaries as: Richie Havens, Maria Muldaur, Eric Anderson, Paul Butterfield, Rory Block, James Taylor, Pete Seeger, and David Grisman among others. Traum's songs have been featured on PBS, BBC, ESPN, and CBS and now WYCE! Artie Traum’s album, Thief of Time, is somewhat hard to describe. It’s part jazz, part soft rock and a pinch of country. Traum’s music has a simplicity that is pleasing. The album doesn’t rely on heavy production to make it sound better. Instead, the singing and background instruments are enough and the songs are varied enough to keep the album fresh from the first track to the last. - Anne LamontPIETA BROWN
