American Primitive

Bill Shute and Lisa Null
American Primitive

American Primitive is a collection of North American folk songs of various origins. It includes gospel hymns, Quebecois dances, Child ballads, and more. Null and Shute (who sing and play guitar respectively) are joined by a host of other musicians throughout the record, providing vocal harmonies, dulcimer, harmonica, bass, Northumbrian pipes, and clarinet. Despite this rich instrumentation, individual tracks maintain an uncluttered sound that centers around Null's powerful vocal performance. Liner notes include detailed descriptions of the songs and their provenance.
