Re: Sarah Jarosz signs on to Michael Daves' new BG album project
I kicked in on the Kickstarter funding for this album and followed along as Michael sent updates and sneak peeks at early tracks as they were completed. The CD showed up in my mailbox recently and it has been in heavy rotation ever since. Daves' guitar and vocals are fantastic, as is the entire band he assembled. A special nod to Sarah Jarosz' harmony vocals - simply outstanding. The electric versions are completely different - moody, low fi, heavily distorted vocals, sparse drumming that sounds sequenced, and simmering electric guitar. It might not have the same broad appeal as the bluegrass versions, but I found it fascinating and was glad to help fund Michael's muse if that's where he wanted it to go.
"Well, I don't know much about bands but I do know you can't make a living selling big trombones, no sir. Mandolin picks, perhaps..."
