The 4 singers of Anonymous 4 depart from their a capella tradition and invite a few friends into the studio with them as they bring an all-American program of ballads, shape-note tunes, and folk hymns. Darol Anger accompanies on violin and mandolin, along with guitarist Scott Nygaard. Your spirit will dance along.
Very nice, and educational – but what is the accent of the presenter? Short vowels, almost Canadian, but not quite, and yet other sounds are almost New York. I can’t place it.
Bill McGlaughlin is originally from Philadelphia–he had a grandfather with Scottish ties.
