Product Description

Beauty Will Come was recorded and mixed in late 2011 at Hollow Reed Arts Studio in Asheville by musician/engineer extraordinaire Chris Rosser, who co-produced the record along with Red June. The innovative young graphic artist, Peter Gaillard, designed the album art using an old lithograph of a Mourning Cloak butterfly. The image resonates with the album's themes of transition, hope, loss and renewal. Beauty Will Come is a brilliant integration of old-time, bluegrass, and beyond, and feels like a holding of hands... The blend is beautiful. It's world class music. says singer/songwriter Kari Sickenberger of Polecat Creek. More personal than their debut album, Beauty Will Come begins with an uplifting song by Straughan titled These Old Chains. Every Hard Mile, by Miller, is an expansive song featuring the band's signature three part harmonies. Track three is an exciting old-time inspired fiddle tune written by Weinstein & Miller titled Piney Branch Breakdown. Straughan then brings us All that the Fall Leaves, a playful waltz about the search for true love. Bittersweet is a pensive song from Weinstein, and is the song from which the album title was drawn. Next is the only cover song on the record, a gospel a capella originally recorded by Ralph Stanley called I'm Willing to Try. Following, is John's nod to his bluegrass heritage with Cloud of Dust. Straughan's beautiful and powerful Soul's Repair follows and Miller then brings us the light-hearted Foolish Me. Next is a set of Irish reels, Scott's/Connors penned by Straughan and named after his young guitar student and student's brother. The final track on the album Red Sky of Morn is a collaborative song written by all three band members along with Laurelyn Dossett. Renowned NC musician Riley Baugus of Cold Mountain fame sums it up-- 'Beauty Will Come is INCREDIBLE!!! I loved it. It is full of wonderful songwriting, beautiful vocals and remarkable instrument work. John, Natalya and Will really have it going on with this recording. Congratulations guys!!!! Super CD!!!'
