Product Description
Mark Knopfler
"a master of American folk Music, Irish music, Scottish music- it doesn't matter; a fine songwriter and one of my favorite singers."
CD Description
The thirteenth solo album from Grammy-winner Tim O'Brien mixes originals, collaborations and a handful of outside compositions. The earthy wisdom of Chicken & Egg's songs are delivered in appropriately spontaneous fashion, largely recorded live in the studio with a core group of collaborators. O'Brien says, "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 cosistent band". Most recently, O'Brien has been performing before capacity crowds in the band of Mark Knopfler, who desribed him as "a master of American folk Music, Irish music, Scottish music- it doesn't matter; a fine songwriter and one of my favorite singers." Tracks:You Ate The Apple/My Girl's Waiting For Me (River Driving)/Suzanna/Sinner/Gonna Try To Make Her Stay/The Sun Jumped Up/All I Want/Workin'/No Way To Stop That Flow/Not Afraid O' Dyin'/Letter In The Mail/Old Joe/Mother Mary/Space Between The Lines Advertising in CMP and Maverick

Brilliant work from a master craftsman
19 April 2011
Format:Audio CD
Just saw O'Brien in Lafayette where he played many of the songs on this album. They are wonderful, indeed. O'Brien combines the technical magic of Tony Rice with the artistic nuance of of Norman Blake to fashion bluegrass that is timeless and ineffably beautiful. The quality of his playing - and that of the other musicians on this album - is of a remarkably high level. You Ate the Apple - the opening tune - is irreverent and humorous (I wish my mother was still here so I could play it to her), and is immediately followed by My Girl's Waiting for Me, a song so besutiful it makes one ache. The album is a gem from start to finish.
Tim still rocks!

Tim O'Brien remains the best representative of singer/songwriter/performer in this genre. Though he's been very much into celtic/irish music lately, he's back to bluegrass with this record. It doesn't exactly match his album "Traveler" (to me his best "solo" record) but it somehow sounds like it and I enjoyed that.
And once you've met this remarkably nice guy at one of his concerts, you can't but love his work.

Tim O'Brian is a master of multistringed instruments. The lyrics on this album are as good as his last album Chameleon. Looking forward to seeing him live again.
