Mandolin Orange – “Clover Tune”

Prairie Hymnal has been on a short hiatus due to a PhD exam (passed!) and the birth of sweet little Asher. We return today with a song and video from one of my favorite acoustic duos, Mandolin Orange.

The song “Clover Tune” is from the band’s new double album Haste Make | Hard Hearted Stranger and was produced by Anson Burtch. Anson has one of the best ears I know and is my go-to guy for all things bluegrass. Enjoy the video and be sure to check out both albums from MO’s Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz.

We’ll be back with much more regular blogging going forward. I’m especially excited about the recent announcement that the Lomax archive that I have talked about here before is now wide open. All of the archive’s 17,000 songs are now (or will be very shortly) available for streaming on the site. We’ll be exploring a song a week.
