Starch & Iron by Rayna Gellert & Susie Goehring

"Old-time music is at its best when the focus turns inward. For every banjo-twirling performance projected towards an audience, there have been thousands of shared intimacies when a few musicians, a few dancers, and perhaps a few friends or family were all that mattered.
With this CD, Susie and Rayna have brought us into the center of those moments when true personal interchange is taking place. You can feel the energy before and after each tune, in the laden silence between the players. Hearing them together centers me and has me wondering where my fiddle is, right now." — Dirk Powell
