Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck to Release Debut Album
The family that picks together sticks together.
Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck have been trading banjo riffs since 2005, when both joined the left-field folk band Sparrow Quartet. Now, after a decade of shared gigs and five years of marriage, the two have announced plans for their first album as a duo.
Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn hits stores on October 7. In contrast with the Sparrow Quartet's 2008 release, which combined bluegrass music with Chinese lyrics and Tibetan influences, the self-titled album will focus on Appalachian murder ballads, gospel tunes, blues and other traditions from the American Bible Belt. The couple's cover of "And I Am Born to Die" pays tribute to the late Doc Watson, who famously recorded the hymn with fiddler Gaither Carlton, while "Pretty Polly" tips its hat to another husband-and-wife duo, E.C. and Orna Ball. Many of the other songs are carryovers from Fleck and Washburn's national tour in 2013, which found the pair traveling the country with their two banjos, a catalog of new tunes and a brand-new addition to the family: 15-month old son Juno Fleck.
Rounder Records, who originally worked with Washburn on her acclaimed solo record, City of Refuge, in 2011, will release the album. Anyone expecting cameos from family friends (and Sparrow Quartet members) like Casey Driessen and Ben Sollee is bound to be disappointed, though, since Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn is strictly a family affair.
"We didn't want any other instruments on there, because we're into this idea that we're banjo players, and that should be enough," Fleck said in a statement. "Sometimes, when you add other instruments, you take away from the ability of the banjo to show all its colors, which are actually quite beautiful."
