New Release from Barbara Lamb - "Twisty Girl"

I got to see Barbara Lamb a few years ago when she was playing Fiddle with John Cowan and was really impressed with her energy, musicality and stage presence. She's just released a new album called "Twisty Girl" and I got the chance to hear a couple of cuts off of it. Now I have to say if all you like is die hard traditional bluegrass then you won't enjoy this. BUT, if you enjoy music where you can definitely hear the folk/bluegrass roots but has been taken to a different level, then you should definitely give this a listen. You can find the her new album on the iTunes Music Store.

Here is the press release from her PR company followed by a video of her doing some interesting looping music live.

Barbara Lamb's newest album "Twisty Girl" incorporates elements of Americana, bluegrass, traditional folk, live looping and electronic beats.  A fiddler by trade, Barbara gathered inspiration from her transition to electronic looping and from tales about her friends, relationships and her dog.  Produced by Barbara herself, "Twisty Girl" is a hodgepodge of genres and stories and a landmark in her career. 

Barbara started the expertly run NashCamp in Nashville in 1996 and is a producer, composer and a teacher.  She's been featured on albums with Peter Rowan, John Cowan, Asleep At The Wheel, Laura Love, Peter Rowan, Tony Trischka, Riders in the Sky and many more.
