Infamous Stringdusters Track-By-Track

You don't want to miss this one...a Track-By-Track preview of the new Infamous Stringdusters CD, which is simply titled The Infamous Stringdusters. The album won't be released until June 10, but we'll be playing through the entire CD this Tuesday morning at 8:00 A.M. E.D.T. The best part about it is that Travis Book, Chris Pandolfi, and Andy Hall joined me for the taping of this show and, as usual, their comments were interesting and insightful.

This is the 'Dusters' second release for Sugar Hill Records. It's interesting that there is no unique title for this album--usually, a band will release a self-titled release, if they do one at all, as their first disc. The guys told me that they felt titling the album The Infamous Stringdusters seemed appropriate because with this second release, their sound had matured and they had "gelled" as a group, both from a performing and writing standpoint.

I couldn't agree more. As much as I liked Fork in the Road, this disc knocks me out. It probably will do the same for you, too. I'd be interested to know your thoughts.

By the way, if you can't listen on Tuesday, catch one of the rebroadcasts. Here's the schedule:

Saturday, May 24 at 4:00 P.M.
Wednesday, May 28 at 6:00 P.M.
Thursday, June 5 at Midnight (or Friday, June 6 for you "Monk"-types)
Tuesday, June 10 at 3:00 P.M.

All times are Eastern.

More information on the album, including a couple of clips, is here.
