Dave Alvin leads his Guilty Women on CD
After the death of his Guilty Men accordionist and best friend Chris Gaffney (The Guilty Men were Alvin's backing band), Alvin set out compiling a tribute to Gaffney.
According to Alvin's label, he "felt the wound was still too raw to record with the Guilty Men. "
The Guilty Women line-up of Cindy Cashdollar of Asleep at the Wheel, Nina Gerber, bluegrasser Laurie Lewis, Christy McWilson, Sarah Brown, Amy Farris and Lisa Pankratz debuted at the 2008 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. "It just felt so natural," said Alvin. "It was like I had been playing with them for a hundred years."
