 Uncle Earl – About the Band
One of the members of Uncle Earl, who declines to be named here, swears that she saw a road sign for it while driving to the quiet countryside just beyond Nashville where the band recorded what eventually became their second full-length album.

Uncle Earl's previous Rounder album, the much-heralded She Waits for Night (2005), was produced by old-time stalwart Dirk Powell (Cold Mountain, Balfa Toujours, Linda Ronstadt and Ann Savoy), and introduced the band to the world as an exciting new voice within the emerging young old-time genre.
