Here’s a lovely album of old-time music by the Herrmanns (Joe & Sam), who our long time customers will recognize for several neat earlier LPs and CDs as the Critton Hollow String Band. They are joined by a few other musicians including Mark Schatz on bass—he also gets credit for producing the record, which was recorded in 2008-2009. The 16 tracks are a mixture of songs and tunes, some with Sam Herrmann’s trademark hammer dulcimer—especially nice are BONAPARTE CROSSING THE RHINE, SARAH HOGAN, HOBO’S LULLABY, and a medley of Norman Blake music in BILLY GRAY and the lovely FIELDS OF NOVEMBER. A very nice album here.
