Infamous Stringdusters plan second CD for June
The disc is their first record with guitarist Andy Falco and his blues-infused licks. Tim O'Brien produced the set of nine band originals supplemented by a few tunes from colleagues in the acoustic music community.
Dobroist Andy Hall's "Well, Well" captures a character in limbo between desperation and optimism. He also penned "Black Rock." Bassist Travis Book contributed several songs, including "Bound For Tennessee." Fiddler and singer Jeremy Garrett goes lonesome with his "When Silence is the Only Sound." Other songs are "Loving You" by Grammy nominated writer Sarah Siskind, the bluesy "Get It While You Can" by Bad Livers' Danny Barnes. Mandolinist Jesse Cobb contributed "Golden Ticket," while banjo man Chris Pandolfi wrote "Glass Elevator."

The Infamous Stringdusters are keeping busy. Their third release of 2017, "Undercover Vol. 2," the second-half follow-up to 2015's "Vol. 1" is a five-track adventure that pays respect to a few of the band's favorite artists. From Marvin Gaye to The Cure, the 'Dusters once again push the limit of bluegrass.
