Search - Albert and Gage :: Dakota Lullaby

You can almost hear the prairie wind and see the endless plains in this collection of songs by South Dakota songwriter, Tom Peterson. Written thirty years ago and largely untouched for the last couple of decades, the tunes sound tailor-made for this Austin, Texas duo. Christine Albert and Chris Gage wrap their voices around the ballads, the blues, the country, swing and bluegrass that grace this album. Gage's instrumental chops are well known through his work as a producer and sideman (Roy Clark, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Jerry Jeff Walker, Slaid Cleaves) and Albert and Gage are joined here by some equally hot players - Lloyd Maines on pedal steel, Canadian Mike Stevens on harmonica and South Dakotan Kenny Putnam on fiddle - to name a few. The music is pure Americana and Albert and Gage deliver it with the integrity and care that these great songs deserve.
