The 10th disc from this stellar artist, NeGrass (pronounced KNEE-grass) is a collection of original and traditional Negro spirituals, field hollers and bluegrass music. This is an inspired work, Laura's imagined history of how it might have been for her grandparents as they were being released from slavery and stepping into a free, yet uncertain, life. This joyful & heartbreaking story comes to life through Laura's soulful vocals with help from Tim O'Brien, Tracy Nelson, Barbara Lamb, Scott Vestal, Jeff Autry, Rob Ickes, Mike Bub and Alice Vestal. Includes three duets with Tim & Tracy's harmonies on two tracks!
