Subject: Wily Milo - good sounds
Just heard this band on Hober. Went looking for more info and found them on CDBaby. Interesting sounds/mix/etc. Here's a little bit about them:
Wily Milo is an old time music string band from the Southern Tier region of Western New York and North Western Pennsylvania. The current members of the group have been playing together since 1993.
Wily Milo String Band plays songs and tunes from the Civil War era and earlier. Most of the tunes are of the Southern persuasion, however the occasional Northern tunes, schottiches, and polkas do pop up.
You may listen to samples at CD Baby. I esp. liked #8 - One Morning in May. I think it is a stunning rendition with stark beauty.
