Mike Gangloff: A Threadbare Threnody

Media: CDR
Out of stock

A Threadbare Threnody creaked and strummed mostly on a fretless banjo made by Lo Gordon of Brevard, N.C., with Sundogs pulled from a resonator guitar put together by Bill Blue in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., and a singing bowl of unknown origin. Recorded late nights February 2004 at home, no amps or effects, mostly alone, though with Mikel Dimmick stirring the bowl on Sundogs, family sleeping upstairs, wood stove popping in the next room, lots of ghosts. Best heard soft with owls and trains and probably some whiskey. Songs: West Fork Girls, Ironto Special, Slemp's Farewell, Striped Horse Across the Field, 31 Week Blues, Ducks on the Pond, Graveyard Rambling Hobo, Sundogs.
