Album Notes

This album looks back to the sounds of early blues/bluegrass/jazz pioneers such as Robert Johnson, Bill Monroe, & Django Reinhardt, while feeling the new sounds of groups such as Hot Butter Rum, Boulder Acoustic Society & Creaking Tree String Quartet. Stranger Creek String Band does not morph their material into a jam band-style or twist them beyond recognition. They simply stir familiar material together in a way that makes each song original, and stylistically, their own. While their music has a unique sound, it also feels very familiar, and brings a laid-back groove coupled with the drive of a bluegrass tune.
