Synopsis

Product Description
Profiled in Newsweek (2008) for creating a 'gorgeous, joyful new sound,' songwriter and clawhammer
banjo player Abigail Washburn takes her bold and expansive musical vision to new heights on her third recording, City of Refuge (August 31st / Foreign Children Records). Raw, ethereal and at times lushly orchestrated, the album melds the joined forces of renowned producer Tucker Martine (the Decemberists, Spoon, Sufjan Stevens) with Washburn's classic songwriting, striking voice and old-time storytelling aesthetic. Abigail and Tucker amassed an impressive group of artists and friends including songwriting collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Kai Welch, guitarist Bill Frisell, old-timey fiddler Rayna Gellert, guzheng (the ancient Chinese zither) master Wu Fei, with string arrangements by Jeremy Kittel of the Turtle Island String Quartet. Chris Funk from the Decemeberists and Carl Broemel
of My Morning Jacket also appear on the record.
