The Gathering
The Gathering
Laurelyn Dossett, Rhiannon Giddens, Mike Compton, Joe Newberry and Jason Sypher.
"Five established folk-roots artists gathered in a Greensboro, N.C., house to record this unusual album. The first six songs by singer-guitarist Laurelyn Dossett were commissioned by the North Carolina Symphony and tell the tale of a wandering daughter's return to her family home on a winter's night. The next seven tracks are a mix of traditional and old-time holiday folk songs. Three voices work in harmony backed by banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and bass. What the season must have sounded like before shopping and Irving Berlin." - The Wall Street Journal
