Contented Must Be

Product Description:
"Bruce Molsky has tapped in to a mystical awareness of how to bring about the new in something that is old, while still being a 100% traditionalist. That is why to me he is very much a modern musician who just happens to play in the old manner, and so his music always feels like a new experience. Thank you Bruce for this wonderful collection of performances." -Mark O'Connor

A true delight.......2006-10-03

Bruce Molsky is one of a group of artists, including Dirk Powell, Tim O'Brien, and others, who plays old-timey music with great sensitivity and skill. Some of the old dissonances and rhythms are preserved, but in a way that is somewhat less jarring than the kind of playing and singing you hear on old 78s, or on Harry Smith's Anthology. But this "polishing" is not in any way a taming or commodifying of the work. Rather, it brings out the strange loveliness that is already there.

Contented Must Be.......2004-08-10

Contented Must Be is a wonderfully organic recording of traditional music, the material drawn from historic archives. The musicianship is excellent, both vocally and instrumentally, yet what stands out even more is the heart and soul the work is filled with - very special.
