Album Notes

Kentucky singer/songwriters Mitch Barrett and Carla Gover comprise the duo Zoe Speaks.

Their recording "Pearl" hints at the traditional Appalachian music with which they were both raised but covers varied musical territory, with nods to contemporary acoustic, pop, and folk.

It features the artists themselves on guitars and clawhammer banjo, and they are helped by a host of America's best acoustic musicians, including Marcy Marxer, Ronnie and Ricky Simpkins, Chris Norman, Sally Van Meter, Ralph Gordon, and Bruce Molsky (who also produced the project).

The featured songs are the artists' own originals complemented with a few select covers by other Kentucky writers.

The content, emotion, and craftsmanship in these 12 songs render this recording a favorite of diverse age and interest groups.

This husband/wife duo's seemingly telepathic harmonies are a highlight of the entire project.
