Description
|
|
|
|
The first recording session of this Prairie Home Companion regular (and sometimes music director) was an uncredited mandolin set on Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. Ostroushko has continued to be breathtakingly brilliant on a regular basis. This disc’s lovely offerings include “St. Augustine Lullaby,” “Baghdad Blues,” “When the City of Angels Sleeps,” “Dayton Cakewalk Delight,” “McCully’s Waltz,” “Montenegro,” and “Meditation on the Thin Space of St. Paul’s Chapel.” “American music of incredible purity and integrity.”—SF Examiner “A veritable folk evocation of Aaron Copland…. One of a group of virtuoso musicians capable of defying boundaries.... As both a composer and a player, Peter Ostroushko deserves a prominent place in the front rank of today’s acoustic music scene.”—Sing Out! “One of the finest and possibly the most versatile of the current crop of multi-instrumentalists.”—Boston Globe
