Review: Fabulous Americana CD filled with gorgeous harmonies and superb musicianship! Rebekah Rolland, fiddler & vocalist for the stellar Americana quintet Run Boy Run, releases her debut solo album, a record born during a stint as an artist in residence in a rustic, beautiful slice of Nebraska wilderness. Rolland arrived at Nebraska’s Homestead National Monument with a plan — to write moving stories based on the characters from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and pride of Nebraska Willa Cather, one of the first female editors of a major American publication.
