Album Notes

"Traditions" is an exploration into the roots of Americana music. There are 19th century ballads, cowboy songs and African-American narrative songs. And with "Summertime" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" the collection forays into the realms of Americana showtunes and pop classics, It is mostly acoustic except for the first song "About Time" which features an electric orchestration and sounds reminiscent of late-forties bluesy-jazz. Many of the songs feature fiery mandolin solos coupled with a revivalist gospel-type drum beat. For fans of Americana and traditonal songs and they messages they provide, this collection should not be overlooked.
