"Demonstrating a respect for tradition, Last Fair Deal presents a creative mix of enlightened acoustic music drawn from tried-and-true catalogs complemented by well-crafted original songs."
---Stephanie P. Ledgin, author, Homegrown Music
Last Fair Deal redraws the map of American roots music with fluid energy and creativity. Their new CD, True Tales, serves up twelve original and three re-grooved, traditional tunes. Thier live performances, with stellar vocals and unique acoustic synergy, will captivate any audience.
Last Fair Deal has an eclectic repertoire drawing on old-time string-band, bluegrass, swing, and popular music. The band's live performances feature originals from True Tales and their previous three albums. They also put their own spin on John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dan Hicks, Lennon/McCartney, John Hiatt, Nat King Cole, and Bob Dylan.
