I recently found this husband/wife duo by God knows what manner. Isn't the Internet wonderful for warping time and space and landing in unexpected places? Anyhow, they're Canadian (from Nova Scotia, to be exact) and they play an interesting blend of folk, old time, bluegrass, etc. The distinguishing characteristic of their music is the ukelele, which could easily be mistaken for a strange mandolin by most pedestrians. James Hill plays it really well. This cut, Ode To A Frozen Boot sounds good on a mid-February evening as we prepare for more snow, here in Maine (and probably Nova Scotia). Hill's fast picking and Anne Davison's pounding bass are deliciously frosty and crisp. Lighthearted and worth a listen as you drive, walk or bike to buy groceries.
