Sierra Ferrell, In Dreams, , Gems On VHS
I know everyone was clamoring for another sharing of Sierra and her unique jinglejangle sound. Well, when I was in New Orleans, Casper Allen brought me to a hazy late night oldtime show. Accordions blared on a stage lit only by bonfire and shrouded by a giant treehouse, like something out a childhood fairy tale. People danced and whirled, drank and laughed. None other than Sierra herself blessed my eyes, unchanged since i d seen her last, enjoying the fire, company and music. Trying to track her down was always a failing effort, so finding her in the wild was always one of those things you re both surprised and not surprised by at the same time. It s just the way of things. She told me she d soon be in Nashville, and was surprised to hear so many wanted to hear more. She said of course we d make another. Though she wasn t there when she said she d be, she showed up sometime. Sometime being as good a time as any, we made this recording one rainy afternoon. You can find her latest release with Rounder Rec
