NOTES

Compact disc

The Goat Rodeo Sessions is an ambitious and groundbreaking project that brings together four string virtuosos: world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma, fiddler Stuart Duncan, bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolinist Chris Thile. While each artist is a prominent figure in his own music sphere, they have come together as a unified ensemble on a most remarkable and organic cross-genre project. The music, including two tracks with female vocalist Aoife O'Donovan, feels both new and familiar; it's composed and improvised, uptown and down home, funky and pastoral and above all, uniquely American

Program notes by Alan Light and lyrics ([16] p. : ports.) inserted in container
