Review: Local musicians Eric & Suzy Thompson have devoted their lives to the pursuit of weird and obscure old-time American music – warped fiddle tunes in odd tunings, cinematic ballads, country blues songs that contain mysterious metaphors, & early Cajun music. Using fiddle, mandolin, guitars, Cajun accordion, & banjo, they bring these early 20th century sounds right into the present day. Here they perform with their daughter on bass & vocals. Check the liner notes for the sources of the tunes
