Album Notes

The Falderals take their name from an old nonsense folk lyric (“fal-de-ral-diddle-o-day”)
and trace their roots straight back to Elizabeth Cotton (they still do a foot-stomping version of “Freight Train”). With Andy on his 000-15 Mahogany Martin (the same guitar Woody Guthrie preferred) and Rebecca on her over-sized acoustic bass, they strum, sing, and pound their way through a melodic songbook of Americana originals, blending harmony and heartache in a way that’s earned them the distinction of being “new folk for old souls.“
