The Matchsellers – The Matchsellers See The Light

I wrote about The Matchsellers last year and also about the weird circumstances that this american folk duo was living near to me, in Leipzig for quite some time. Unfortunately we never met and I missed them in Atlanta last year. But who knows - some day I will meet Andrew and Julie and talk to them in my broadest saxony dialect and they might be able to understand me.

The Matchsellers are back in the US now and playing here and there. This album is some kind of Bluegrass-gospel-folk. It's hard to describe. Fiddle, guitar strumming and picking and harmony singing, more traditional songs incl. the burner Amazing Grace.

I'd say they are living for the music - probably not from it - but that's another thing.

The recordings were made on their travels through Europe and the US and if you have some money overy, get it on bandcamp or stream it for free.

Peace!
