  • Amazing...by the way, isn't it just "The Sparrow Quartet"? I mean if you count her separately, it would be 'Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Trio' wouldn't it?

  • I love this group - the CD "Abigail WAshburn and the Sparrow Quartet" is a masterpiece - and I think this is my favorite piece. Something otherwordly about the innovative instrumentals supporting Abigail's gorgeous voice. I hope they get back together at some point and produce another Cd that's just as magical as this one.

  • @javy150 I'm for the theory that her voice is Abigail Washburn but her body and instrument is part of the Quartet.

  • Casey Driessen kids!! Minnesota boy done good. A ginger @ that, just like me!! If u r wondering where the future of acoustic traditional music lies... Look no further.

  • This is amazing.

  • Also, this song is beautiful, and the group is amazing. Wish they would get back together!

  • That commenter down below, strange. I had a friend once who went crazy due to psychedelic use. He also touted Jim Morrison as better than everyone else and stuff like that. He thought that there was a cabal trying to bring about a New World Order, and that me and one of our other friends were instrumental in bringing it down. I was the Seventh Angel, or something like that. Just strange to see stuff that reminded me so strongly of that in comments on a random song.

  • I am in love

  • Very enjoyable!

  • 25 people are f'ing deaf.

    Hi, some time's gone by since you posted, but it looks like an old time 5-string banjo to me. (Freeze frame at 4:51 )

    I think the bouzouki sound might come from the two banjos being played one low and one high. Hope that helps.

  • This is superb music. Anyone that gives it a negative rating needs a kick in the britches.
