I posted about the Get Up in the Cool podcast already. When I caught host Cameron DeWhitt playing at a pub in Newcastle I grabbed a couple of copies of the related CDs. This CD (Vol.1) is more or less a mixtape featuring the show's best performances from 2016.
The tracks are edited together so that, much like the podcast itself, you feel a bit like the fly on the wall at an old time jam. The eclectic nature of the podcast means this album is full of variety with different styles, voices and instruments taking the spotlight from track to track. That said, the presence of Cameron's particular style of banjo playing gives the album a unified quality.
Top tracks Hang Me (with Luke Chohany), Billy in the Lowground (with Brad Kolodner) and Rolling River (with Jake Blount).
It's possible I got one of the last physical copies (or at least one of the last physical copies he had in Australia).
It is however available online or listen here below:
A personal journey into the world of Folk, Bluegrass, Celtic, Old Time and more.
