Tim O’Brien Band- Tim O’Brien Band review
Tim O’Brien Band Tim O’Brien Band Howdy Skies You never quite know which Tim O’Brien is going to make an appearance: fiddle slinger, folk singer-songwriter, bluegrass maverick, or Celtic-crosser, half of a dynamic duo or as part of an ensemble such as Hot Rize and (briefly) The Earls of Leicester. With Tim O’Brien Band (no… Continue reading Tim O’Brien Band- Tim O’Brien Band review
The Earls of Leicester review
The Earl of Leicester had nothing to do with bluegrass music. But, The Earls of Leicester are most certainly bluegrass through and through. The ‘Earl’ refers to Scruggs and ‘Leicester’ is pronounced Lester, as in Flatt, and this six-piece band, whose performance at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival of a couple weekends ago I am… Continue reading The Earls of Leicester review
Roots Song of the Week: Eric Brace, et al- El Dorado Two-Step
Eric Brace and Karl Straub have created a most ambitious album based upon and extending “Sweet Betsy From Pike,” a song from the California Gold Rush era.

Tim O’Brien & Darrell Scott- The Power of the Unknown
In 2001, I interviewed Tim O’Brien and Darrell Scott at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and wrote about them in the October 2001 edition of That High Lonesome Sound, a local bluegrass society newsletter. While writing about their recent live release We’re Usually A Lot Better Than This for Lonesome Standard Time, I reviewed that… Continue reading Tim O’Brien & Darrell Scott- The Power of the Unknown
Walkin’ Talkin’ Dancin’ Singin’- August 16, 2010
Danielle Doyle- The Cartographer’s Wife I’m getting closer to finding the words for this album. It is one of those discs that I discover something new to appreciate with every listen. Her voice is especially appealing, reminding me a little of one of the Be Good Tanyas. Seek out this one. Red Horse- Red Horse… Continue reading Walkin’ Talkin’ Dancin’ Singin’- August 16, 2010
