2015 album from the acclaimed Grammy-winning musician / composer / producer /
entrepreneur. With The Song of the Banjo, her first album since 2009, Alison
Brown plants another flag in her journey of musical exploration. As one of
todays finest progressive 5-string banjo players, the 2015 IBMA Distinguished
Achievement Award/2014 United States Artist Fellowship recipient and Compass
Records co-founder mixes seven masterful originals with six surprising covers of
pop and rock classics from the 70s and 80s, boldly going where no banjo album
has gone before. For their mission, Brown and her co-producer, husband, label
co-founder and bassist Garry West have assembled an equally unconventional
all-star ensemble, including Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, Keb Mo,
Colin Hay, uke master Jake Shimabukuro, legendary studio drummer Steve Gadd,
fiddler Stuart Duncan, Irish phenom guitarist John Doyle, bassist Todd Phillips,
guitarist Jim Oblon, Dobro player Rob Ickes and pianists Will Barrow, Joe
Davidian and John Jarvis. Combining stunning virtuosity and unerring taste,
Brown, with her signature model Prucha banjo creates a roots rainbow of folk,
jazz, pop, Celtic, classical, Latin and Americana. Dynamic, introspective and
even romantic, The Song of the Banjo is an album for people who didnt know they
liked the banjo. For banjo lovers, Alison Browns 2015 CD rekindles that affair.
