The Duhks - Migrations

Since the release of their self-titled, Bela Fleck-produced album in 2005, as well as the consequent re-release of their Canadian debut 'Your Daughters and Your Sons', they've won admirers as diverse as David Crosby, Dolly Parton, and Doc Watson. This is not surprising, given their Duhks-alone blend of soul, gospel, North American folk, Brazilian samba, old time country string band, zydeco, and Irish dance music, and the attack they bring to these interwoven acoustic styles - which might as well be called sheer rock and roll. Their unique sound has also earned them a Juno Award, two Folk Alliance awards, and an Americana Music Association nomination for Best Emerging Artists. With the release of Migrations The Duhks profile will doubtlessly elevate, as the talented young quintet continues to develop its singular brand of eclecticism with an album that is increasingly confident, personal and distinctive.
