Music Review
Take a trip to Cornbread Nation
Evidently, for many years, there’s been a lot of great music being made by a songwriter/vocalist/fiddler/mandolinist, named, Tim O’Brien, without my knowledge. I stumbled upon a portion of his remarkable output, relatively recently, whilst (and at the same time) watching a PBS broadcast of a Missouri gig featuring songs from his Howdy Skies Records releases, Cornbread Nation and Fiddler’s Green. I would highly recommend these to fans of string band, old-time, and bluegrass musics, but that would be a waste of time for it is an absolute metaphysical certainty they’re already well-acquainted with the brilliant artist. I expect the unique appeal of his work could easily reach well beyond the hardcore fan base if there were greater exposure. Although, this blog is likely to do little to that end, I thought I’d mention it, just the same. Tim O’Brien has a website located here. Book a room at the Dew Drop Inn, say howdy to Tim, and help yourselves to some Cornbread Nation and other tasty morsels!
