Tim O’Brien brings springtime sounds with “Little Lamb Little Lamb”
Just in time for Easter, Tim O’Brien releases a new bluegrass original “Little Lamb Little Lamb” April 7th. Written last spring and recorded in December, the track features O’Brien on guitar and lead vocal with longtime band members Mike Bub (bass), Shad Cobb (fiddle), Jan Fabricius (mandolin and vocal), and Cory Walker (banjo). With lyrics contrasting the joyful rebirth of spring with the narrator’s advancing age, the track is a preview of O’Brien’s upcoming full release “Cup of Sugar”, which drops June 16th, 2023

Jan and I took a few quiet days in west Kerry during an Irish tour in 2017. This was an area with a few farmers and a lot of sheep. We asked the nice older woman running our B&B if she was local. "Oh no", she said, "I was born three miles away and they'll never accept me here." It was the middle of May and the new lambs were jumping all around in the fields there. Then last spring I wrote the song lyrics really quickly, and made a repeating melody to fit them. Like newborn babies and spring in general, a jumping little lamb is somehow reassuring to me.
