Love this entry into the Pick review pantheon. A few albums I haven't heard yet, that i look forward to checking out soon.
One small quibble Steve. In your review of Im with her, you write that aoife o'donovan has always been a solo artist. In fact she led a wonderful new england based bluegrass/americana band called Crooked Still. They've put out more recordings than Aoife has as a solo artist, and surprisingly popped up on season 2 of the tv show the last of us.
They are really quite good, tho theyve been dormant since 2011 i think. Aoife has her solo career, and im with her. Brittany Haas, the fiddle player, is busy with her other band Hawktail, and is out on tour with the punch brothers (plus has a degree in evolutionary biology from Princeton). Hadnt heard much from CS til they showed up as a band in a scene in the last of us this year.
I am immediately on that Cowsill - Peterson record! Thanks! Great job as always!

I was not aware of Crooked Still, or if I was I had completely forgotten it. I'll update the post on the website, anyway.

Anyway, check them out. Theyre really good.
