Tim O’Brien will release an acoustic-oriented “Chicken & Egg,” his 13th solo album, on July 13, on Howdy Skies Records (distributed by E1 Entertainment).
“It was time to make a more acoustic record – more along the lines of a bluegrass thing, with an ensemble and not a lot of production: something pretty down-home, featuring a more consistent band,” O’Brien said.
O’Brien spent four days in the studio with Stuart Duncan (fiddle, mandolin, cello, banjo), Bryan Sutton (acoustic and electric guitar),and bassists Dennis Crouch and Mike Bub. Drummer John Gardner is also featured on several tracks.
