Acoustic Traveler

Pickers, players & vocalists: John McEuen: Guitar; Matt Cartsonis: mandola.

I don’t know where music comes from; sometimes it comes easy, sometimes it doesn’t. I wrote “Acoustic Traveler” in about two hours with the intent to transport the listener far and away from present day to a place where I travel often—a place somewhere lost in time. The track features an unusual instrument combination (Andy’s alto sax, Amram’s pennywhistle and Matt’s mandola) to take us away.
