"Between us all, we are every American laborer." - Ketch Secor

Posted over 5 years ago
This is one of the albums I can't leave off my iPod; there is just so much going on in this album that it’s perfect for my short attention span. The album opens with some about four solid traditional numbers like Gospel Plow and Elkhorn Ridge before moving into a healthy mix of original songs and more traditional numbers. Towards the middle of the album are the gems Oh My Love and Black Eye Susie. The clips included from a jam session from Wawa are a nice touch and add to the toe tapping lo-fi aesthetic. It's the contrast to this aesthetic that makes the picks of the album, Pour It On, Dock and the following Worried Mary stand out. The album finishes with the ridiculous/great Cumberland Gap.This isn't an album to sit and think too, you should put your headphones on and have your own private hoe-down while you run about your day.

    CBSchick says Where did you get this CD? I don't even know where to buy it, otherwise I would. And on another note, are you familiar with "Wawa?" When I saw that (greetings from wawa), I laughed because I know so many people who are fanatical about Wawa.

    Diapason Normal says Actually, I couldn't find this anywhere to buy either, and the only reason I even heard about it was coming across it while looking for what I would later figure out were the 'Woodsongs' radio recordings. I am pretty sure they are refering to Wawa, Ontario. What other Wawa is there to be familiar about?
