Spirits - LP or CD

This long-awaited album, our first in 7 years, was produced by Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Dropkick Murphy's, Old Crow Medicine Show) and is a return to our raw, roots-driven style. “We wanted to use these musical forms to talk about current issues,” explains Pete Bernhard.  “We didn’t want to just sing about trains and mining and drinking. For myself, it didn’t seem relevant. Folk music should be about what’s happening now, just as it was when Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan did it. Our music is not just a re-enactment of something old and dusty.” The song titles alone describe the band’s return to a stripped-down, drum-less sound and songs that reflect the ongoing struggle to survive amid the uncertainties of the current volatile climate: “Dark Gets the Best of You,” “Divide and Conquer,” “Ghost are Weak,” “Hard Times,” “I Love Doing Drugs,” “Poison Well” and “The Devil Wins.” The tracks were recorded at Dreamland, part of a converted church compound outside Woodstock in upstate New
