about

full liner notes at ajsrubasmusic.com

Sweet Bunch of Daisies is our first duo project. We started working on it in 2020 and finished in late 2022. Both of us like listening to fiddle tunes accompanied only by guitar. Combinations like Cyril Stinnett and Dwight Lamb with Elvin Campbell, or Pete McMahan with Fred Stoneking are some favorites. Neither of us would claim to be a singer, but there are so many great songs out there and the process of arranging songs and singing harmony lines is something we've always liked to do. While we both love playing in larger musical projects, we've been wanting to make a more pared-down recording that represents some of these other musical interests. It was more challenging to make than we expected but we learned a lot in the process!

The arrangements vary from traditional to newer interpretations, all of them both rooted in what has come before, and in some ways our own. Old time music is thriving in the upper midwest, and while people including us play all sorts of types of tunes from all over the country, a lot of what is played where we live is somewhat different that what is played in the southeast or the east or west coast. A lot of this album comes out of the music we hear here.

We are grateful to Andrew Bartleson, Brian Miller, Eric Mohring, David Robinson, and Addie Rosenwinkel for lending their talents to this album as guests.

This rendition of Virgil Anderson's "Jenny Hang the Kettle On" is wonderful. It perfectly grabs the simplistic beauty of Virgil's version, but has such clarity. Amazing album! Payton Scott
