Editorial Notes
Personnel: Norman Blake (vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo, violin,
viola); Rich O'Brien (vocals, acoustic guitar, gut-string guitar);
Don Edwards (acoustic guitar).
Bringing together the musical traditions of the Appalachian
Mountains and Texas, Norman Blake and Rich O'Brien convened in
Denver, CO, in July of 1998 to collaborate on a beautiful
recreation of traditional instrumentals and early country forms. A
very loose and impromptu feel pervades the 16 tracks, as Blake
provides guitar, six-string banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and viola,
with O'Brien adding guitar on both combining for classic country
harmonies on tracks like "When It's Lamplighting Time in the
Valley," A.P. Carter's "Homestead on the Farm," and the spiritual
"Heavenly Sunlight." As is to be expected, the instrumentals are
outstanding, incorporating rags, waltzes, and even Spanish
elements. O'Brien's own "Grandpa's Barn" is guaranteed to be a
tearjerker for anyone with rural roots. ~ Matt Fink
