Description:
`Grammer wraps her rich, ethereal voice around Neil Diamonds Solitary Man, evoking Joan Baez in her prime, while a lovely ray of hope rings out in Emory Gordon and Joe Henrys When I Reach the Place Im Goin... classic Americana.` - Dirty Linen The Verdant Mile is a 7-song all-acoustic EP with two originals and five covers. The title track is a poignant, upbeat meditation on loss and survival, written by Grammer to address the 2002 passing of her musical partner, Dave Carter. The CD also includes a rollicking fiddle medley and lovingly-performed covers of songs by such respected artists as Kieran Kane and Carole King; recorded live in an Oregon studio over two days and features Jim Henry on mandolin, mandola, dobro and vocals.
