released on bandcamp November 19, 2021
There may be a few other releases by people with related visions but this is largely uncharted terrain. The bandcamp notes are fantastic and I encourage you to read them. I’m going to quote a copy and paste to share what’s going on instrumentally
“Henry Birdsey – pedal steel, lap steel
Bob Driftwood – banjo
Ira Dorset- fiddle
Rev. Clarence Lewis – pipe organ
Harper Reed – resonator guitar, nylon string guitar
Ann Rowlis – orchestral bells”
The past fifteen years or so has seen a beautiful reclaiming of the Americana tradition. Sharing the culture sonically after a much needed purification, or in this case baptism is probably the right word.
This is the sound of the peace and love that’s either going to fill our garden or, if it doesn’t, we’ll die never knowing what would could’ve been.
