The first proper LP from this duo of longtime collaborators is nothing short of mesmerizing. It will rattle you.
The vocals are spot-on and so is the musicianship — lots of virtuoso violin; you'll have to wait until the end for the whistle - but it also has the warm, first-take feel of two old friends having a fine old time.
These 13 has little to do with Mathus and Bird recalling past glories, and much more to do with the beauty and mysteries of the music of the American South.
