Hahaha I worked on that CD cover!! I’m so excited that it’s finally out (actually it’s been out for a while now, this is just the first time I’m seeing it on Tumblr). It’s so cool to take a small part in something I truly enjoy.
Banjo-player Noam Pikelny, better known for his work in the Punch Brothers, has recently come out with his own album, called Beat the Devil and Carry a Rail (Compass Records, 2011), which features guest performers such as Aoife O’Donovan, Steve Martin, and Chris Thile.
Most of the pieces are Noam Pikelny’s own compositions, with a couple of exceptions including one Tom Waits and one which Steve Martin contributes to. This track, The Broken Drought, is a more like a ballad and works very well for banjo.
Our folk/bluegrass section is growing, and this album is one that should certainly be checked out!
