Description
|
|
|
|
This Canadian trio—Sam (Samantha) Parton, Frazey Ford, and Trish Klein—got their name from a song by music pioneer Obo Martin ("Be Good, Tanya"). Channeling the likes of the Carter Family, they conjure up the folk, country, and blues roots of American music with a dollop of the contemporary. This 16-song set includes the classic tracks "Littlest Birds," and "Scattered Leaves"; two new tracks ("Little Black Bear" and "Gospel Song"); Townes Van Zandt's "Waiting Around to Die"; the traditional "In My Time of Dying"; and Parton's "Dogsong," aka "Sleep Dog Lullaby." "Soulful, rustic tales of woe, wonder, happiness, and heartache…. The band's tight, effortless harmonies, understated arrangements, and inventive, highly competent musicianship reigns supreme, imbuing even the slightest tale with a considerable weight."—All Music Guide
