Not About Nightingales is the new album from Eric George, slated to drop August 23. Hailing from Vermont, the singer/songwriter has one foot firmly planted in tradition folk music, while the other foot fluctuates between soft rock, Americana, bluegrass, delta blues and jazz.
Not About Nightingales features Eric George on guitar, banjo and harmonica; Luke Hauserman on bass; Sean Keenan sits in the pocket; Pete Sutherland plays fiddle; Shay Gestal plays violin; Monique Citro plays cello; Erich Meisberger plays pedal steel; and Henry Finch tinkles the ivories. Jocie Adams and Addie Herbert provide vocal harmonies.
The album has ten tracks. The first track is “Few Little Lines,” an upbeat folk number with a steady, sparkling melody emitting a shadow of bluegrass influence. Eric’s tenor is laid-back, effortless and agreeable. “River For Your Dam” begins with twangy, drawling guitars that drive the flowing, moderate melody. Sutherland’s fiddle gives the tune an old-fashioned brightness that works well.
