Yo Yo Ma & Friends - The Goat Rodeo Sessions

[EasyRyder]

"The Goat Rodeo Sessions is an ambitious and groundbreaking project that brings together four string virtuosos: world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma, fiddler Stuart Duncan, bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolinist Chris Thile. While each artist is a prominent figure in his own music sphere, they have come together as a unified ensemble on a most remarkable and organic cross-genre project. The music, including two tracks with female vocalist Aoife O'Donovan, feels both new and familiar it's composed and improvised, uptown and down home, funky and pastoral and above all, uniquely American."

Attaboy (Live)

Need anything else be said/heard??? This will most likely be my favorite of 2011, and everyone should give it a chance! It's exhilarating to hear music of such a kind in this year of our Lord, 2011.

I've been listening to it on Spotify. Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile are two of my favorite bluegrass players. It is quite wonderful.

I believe I have another collaboration with Yo Yo and Edgar Meyer called Appalachian Waltz that was quite nice.  I'm looking forward to this, though vinyl would be nice (doesn't appear to be available 'cept as CD or mp3, tho).

I'll have to look for that one. Thanks for telling me about it.
