This is a wonderful abum released on the Waterbug label. Some of you might be familiar with Jonathan Byrd here he has teamed up with Chris Kokesh to form The Barn Birds. A beautiful album of love songs and duets that will make you laugh and cry. Songs written with feeling and on occaison humour, as on  Sundays Loving You, this is a great album I just keep playing and playing which makes you feel the world is a better place. Highly recommended.

Jonathan Byrd and Chris Kokesh met as teachers at a song academy in Sisters Oregon in 2006. Enamored with Chris’s fiddle playing and singing, Jonathan invited her to play with him at the Sisters Folk Festival that weekend. They played two encores, and the festival audience voted them the “Encore Performer” to return the following year. The duo toured the Pacific Northwest and Midwest, and came back to Oregon to make their first recordings in a barn in Sisters. Jonathan and Chris had to stop recording when the birds in the walls erupted in song. They called themselves the Barn Birds.
