Simple Gifts performs My Horses Ain't Hungry

Simple Gifts performs a traditional Appalachian ballad arranged by group member Karen Hirshon. Accompanied by Linda Littleton on hammered dulcimer and Rachel Hall on tabla. The guitar is tuned CGCGCD, and Karen is using a Mississippi John Hurt fingerpicking style.


Based in State College, PA, Simple Gifts draws on an impressive variety of ethnic folk styles, this award-winning trio plays everything from lively Irish jigs and down-home American reels to hard-driving Klezmer frailachs and haunting Gypsy melodies, spicing the mix with the distinctive rhythms of Balkan dance music, the lush sounds of Scandinavian twin fiddling, and original compositions written in a traditional style. This song was named "song of note" by Indie Acoustic.
