Kasey Rausch

Little Lagoon Sessions is the first full-length album from The Country Duo (Kasey Rausch & Marco Pascolini.) After releasing singles and an EP recorded at the Legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, Kasey & Marco connected again with the former head engineer of Sun, Curry Weber, this time in Gulf Shores, Alabama, where they lived and worked for a week in a house right on the banks of the Little Lagoon. Watching stingrays and jellyfish swim by on their breaks, and giant herons land out on the pier, 12 songs were recorded during the sessions. Ten of those songs, Rausch's originals, make up this album filled with acoustic guitar, pedal steel, baritone electric guitar, and a touch of Dobro, with meandering harmonies throughout. Two songs, covers of a couple of their favorite songs to play, will be released later as digital singles.

The album was produced by Kasey Rausch, Marco Pascolini and Curry Weber. Finishing touches were recorded in Kansas City by Duane Trower at Weights and Measures Sound Lab, where one special guest, Sweet Matt Brahl, offered some light percussion. Chad Meise of Oddio Hut did separate mastering for the vinyl and digital tracks.
