Newberry & Verch - Blessing on the Wing - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Even before they head to the studio to record, well-known musicians Joe Newberry and April Verch are hard at work - brainstorming, practicing, writing, and identifying themes that echo and underscore the world around them. In their new album, InchBlessing On The Wing,Inch the powerhouse duo blends fiddle, guitar, banjo, and two singular voices to celebrate the seasons that pass and the things that mark that passage - birds, sunrises and sunsets, traditions, and love.InchBlessing On The WingInch marks a new and exciting turn for Newberry and Verch. In their previous duo projects, in addition to beautiful found fiddle tunes and songs, they brought pieces they had written on their own or with talented collaborators. The new album features plenty of that, but also two numbers written together especially for the recording - InchThankful For YouInch and InchTurtle DoveInch - and InchHeaven's In My View / CardinalInch which combines a song Newberry wrote with Bluegrass icon Jim Lauderdale with a tune composed by April Verch. Other original songs and tunes include InchHonky Tonk Heaven,Inch InchRobin On The Wagon Wheel,Inch InchWhere The Songs Come From,Inch and InchTune Thy Heart.Inch Of course, no Newberry and Verch album would be complete without tunes that draw from Newberry's Ozarks traditions and Verch's Ottawa Valley traditions, such as InchRed Fox Waltz / Red Fox.Inch The only number on the album that doesn't come from the pen of either Newberry or Verch is the beautiful InchNeighbors,Inch popularized by Grandpa Jones. It is particularly fitting, as the duo has always experienced a true kinship through their music, and have always felt that they could have grown up being neighbors! Album Tracks 1.
