cd cover
Crooked Jades
World's On Fire (self-released)
In my continuing campaign to find a select group of uinique American recordings to offer to you, here is The Crooked Jades. A potent mix of all-acoustic old-time mountain instruments (banjo, guitars, jews harp, fiddle, double bass, etc) and modern edge, this band (mostly) writes their own material in a style that at first seems to be in the tradition, but on closer listening reveals a sharp, contemporary approach to lyrics and playing style. Highly Recommended!

Can't Stare Down a Mountaineer
