RICK SHEA & BRANTLEY KEARNS: Trouble and Me
In January 2002, Los Angeles area roots and country stalwart Rick Shea and fiddler/singer extraordinaire Brantley Kearns started work on a project they had discussed between themselves for nearly five years. They decided to record a collection of older songs - some reworked traditional melodies, songs by California folk icons Jim Ringer and Mary McCaslin - and a few of Rick and Brantley's own understated originals. The album is based loosely on the connection between the music and traditions of North Carolina where Brantley grew up and the more contemporary folk and country music of California that they both have spent the better part of their lives playing. The result is a great new disk entitled "Trouble and Me".
David Jackson joins Rick and Brantley on bass and James Cruce provides drums and percussion. Guests on the release include Dave Alvin, who also produced, Greg Leisz, Don Heffington and Chris Gaffney.
