Old Man Luedecke - Hinterland

In banjo songster tradition, Old Man Luedecke sings his songs accompanied only by his inspired claw hammer playing and his stomping foot. On this release he branches out sonically yet keeps a spare pallet to let the songs breathe and stand on their own. The album features the fiddling of Halifax Irish session whiz Laura Federson, Halifax scene celebrities drunk in a midnight choir, the best example of a 21st century Kazoo solo by fellow troubadour Petunia, the haunting harmony of indie superstar Ruth Minnikin (Guthries, Heavy Blinkers) and the stunning Weissenborn of Steve Dawson.
