July 20th, 2011 · 1 Comment

June 22nd, 2011 · No Comments
It’s interesting to see the ways people are exploring the meeting point of folk and classical instruments. Here’s a banjo and a string section. His new album is called The Jessamine County Book Of The Living. Matt Bauer dips into the hauntedness of things, so a “Blacklight Horse” is probably not a purple glowing stallion [...]
