NEW MUSIC FROM CHRIS THILE AND MICHAEL DAVES
Chris Thile and Michael Daves met in New York City at a joint called the Baggot Inn just after Thile had transplanted from San Diego to NYC. A music friendship ensued and has led to an incredible new album titled “Sleep with One Eye Open”. Recorded at Jack White’s Nashville studio, the album is a series of little production and a lot of musical prowess! The stripped down sound leaves front and center the blistering interpretation of bluegrass-based tunes of two amazingly matched musicians. I’m featuring a bunch of it in this mornings second hour.
More information is available at Nonesuch Records website including a great story of the journey these two have taken to lead to this album.
