Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion - Bright Examples

Husband-and-wife duo SARAH LEE GUTHRIE & JOHNNY IRION's follow-up to their first album 'Exploration' and their first album in six years, 'Bright Examples' was produced by VETIVER's ANDY CABIC and members of VETIVER provide the instrumental accompaniment. Guests include GARY LOURIS and MARK OLSON (Jayhawks) and NEAL CASAL. More atmospheric or psychedelic, sort of dreamy but colorful is how Guthrie describes the album and it's obvious that their songwriting musical horizons have matured and expanded considerably beyond the confines of alt.country.Second LP from Woody Guthrie's granddaughter and husband. Irion's warm but bittersweet voice and Guthrie's, pure and breathy, work beautifully together and alone. Mojo ****'Bright Examples' is imbued with the hazy tones of the Laurel Canyon folk boom.
