Live at WFMU July 25, 2011 on Irene Trudel's Show Radio Program

On his latest album, The Jessamine County Book of the Living, The whispery-voiced Matt Bauer has once again made a record that is an intimate, personal, and often fantastical interpretation of the natural world surrounding his native state of Kentucky. Matt said this was his most rewarding, fun album to create, but it's also the most complicated, logistically tricky, and expensive project he's attempted. It features a 4 piece band, 11 piece orchestra, 14 singers, and a number of other guest musicians who live in 10 different cities spread out across the states. Matt Bauer brings a live version of this beautiful album to WFMU. - DJ Irene
