Tim O'Brien - Chicken & Egg

The thirteenth solo album from Grammy-winner Tim O'Brien mixes originals, collaborations and a handful of outside compositions. The earthy wisdom of Chicken & Egg's songs are delivered in appropriately spontaneous fashion, largely recorded live in the studio with a core group of collaborators. O'Brien says, It was time to make a more acoustic record- more along the lines of a bluegrass thing, with an ensemble and not a lot of production: something pretty down-home, featuring a more cosistent band.Most recently, O'Brien has been performing before capacity crowds in the band of Mark Knopfler, who desribed him as a master of American folk Music, Irish music, Scottish music- it doesn't matter; a fine songwriter and one of my favorite singers.Tracks:You Ate The Apple/My Girl's Waiting For Me (River Driving)/Suzanna/Sinner/Gonna Try To Make Her Stay/The Sun Jumped Up/All I Want/Workin'/No Way To Stop That Flow/Not Afraid O' Dyin'/Letter In The Mail/Old Joe/Mother Mary/Space Between The LinesAdvertising in CMP and Maverick
