Item Description
Polecat Creek has released its third recording, Ordinary Seasons, co-produced by Steven Heller, who has multiple Grammy Awards for his work with Doc Watson and David Holt. Ordinary Seasons was recorded live over five warm June days at Upstream Productions in Asheville , NC. It features Sugar Hill artist Riley Baugus, whose distinctive banjo and guitar work has characterized Polecat Creek's sound over the years. And it introduces two young artists, fiddler Natalya Weinstein and mandolin player Eric Robertson, both of whom bring a fresh take to the traditional sounds, with the virtuosity of veteran bassist Jeff Hersk.
More personal than its predecessor Leaving Eden, Polecat Creek's third CD grabs the Tough Subjects - death, temptation, old age - with both hands and stares them down…in a nice way. Laurelyn and Kari are true roots musicians, rooted in 2007, rooted in life as they see it around them. They're not paying homage to tradition for tradition's sake, and they're not hearkening back to some bygone era. Ordinary life, in Ordinary Seasons, where cardinals fly through the yard, hurricanes happen, temptation is tough to resist, and people around you might speak Spanish. Where ultimately you will grow old and die, and the only thing that matters is what's in your heart. This album takes those seemingly ordinary things, and shows us the extraordinary within them.
