My new favorite album is being released today, and I thought I would share. The Lowest Pair , the amazing banjo duo of Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, has recorded their second album of acoustic goodness in an old church, and aptly named it “The Sacred Heart Sessions.” Some of you may remember my post about the Lowest Pair’s House Concert back in June: Give Me the Banjo, when I had the good fortune of attending an intimate, back-yard concert where they played beneath a pear tree on a summer evening. I had a front row seat on a couch, and it was one of the highlights of my lifetime musical experiences. Even farther back, I used to go see Kendl Winter play solo shows, and before that as a part of the Blackberry Bushes Stringband whenever they came through town, which was always a kick-up-your-heels sort of good time. Needless to say, I am a long time fan of all Kendl’s musical ensembles, and was glad to discover Palmer T. Lee’s music through her.
I enjoy Kendl and Palmer’s individual songwriting enough on their own, but the stuff they are writing together is really the sort of music that digs down into the soul and puts it to sound. They’ve been busy on the touring circuit across the country, and opening up for some bigger acts like Trampled by Turtles, so check the tour dates on their website and try to catch them if they are happening by.
