DESCRIPTION:

Thomas Cassell returns to mark his second solo label release—following-up April’s successful Mountain Fever debut, “Traveling Shoes”—with a Mark Knopfler cover, “Redbud Tree.” A slightly haunting, yet beautifully poetic song, Cassell—backed by a supporting cast anchored by vocalist/GRAMMY-nominee Dale Ann Bradley—put his signature acoustic spin on this now decade’s old, former Dire Straits frontman’s original. The addition of mando, dobro and fiddle, here, is a fitting and welcomed homage.
