#4798, With Too Sad for the Public

New Sounds | Oct 3, 2023

The sounds of American roots music – folk ballads, fiddle tunes, early blues, New Orleans second line grooves  – may seem like they belong to another century. But the New York-based collective called Too Sad For The Public takes those old songs and remakes them, often in surprising ways. Too Sad For The Public’s arranger and producer Dick Connette, along with a sextet version of the band featuring vocalist Ana Egge, play some of the tunes from the latest album, Vol. 2, Yet And Still, in-studio for the Soundcheck Podcast. Also, hear selections from Vol. 2, Yet And Still, as well as music arranged by Dick Connette and Last Forever, and more.
