Little Lagoon Sessions is the first full-length album from The Country Duo. After releasing singles and an EP recorded at the Legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, Kasey Rausch & Marco Pascolini 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 a meandering of harmonies throughout. 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 mastered both the vinyl and digital tracks, making the album available on an LP record and Compact Disc. Track Listing: Side A: 1. Bird So Free 2. Falling Apart (Might As Well Be) 3. Goodwill 4. Come Out and Play 5. Simple Reflections Side B: 6. Empty of a Worried Mind 7. Color and a Hue 8. Shine a Little Brighter 9. Tender Hearted Kind 10. On the Revolutions of Celestial Spheres Bonus Song available with Pre-Order: “Come Back Home To You,” written by Jeff Burke & Vida Wakeman. Kasey also recorded a bluegrass/acoustic version of this song on her 2007 album, Live How You Love. "Okra Flower," written by Pete Okie Weiss (originally recorded by Gritones) was also recorded during the Little Lagoon Sessions, but won't be on the record for the same spacing reasons. You will also receive two additional songs that we recorded with the same engineer as Little Lagoon Sessions, Curry Weber, at the Centerville Steamboat Inn in Centerville, Louisiana in 2017, but have been sitting unreleased since that time. One of those songs, an original titled "Until We All Ascend," was inspired by the life of Solomon Northup, author of 12 Years a Slave. It’s rumored that Mr. Northup played violin in the historic hotel where the song was recorded. The fourth song, "Weeping, Sad and Lonely," (Charles Carroll Sawyer and Henry Tucker) is a tune from the Civil War era known to be sung by all sides involved, gently uniting the human experience of loss and grief. We are so excited to share this music with you! THANK YOU for your support. We don’t have an estimated release date for the full album yet, as it really comes down to how quickly we can raise the funds to have it sent off to the vinyl and CD pressing plants. Your pre-purchase of the album helps us make it happen a little faster. Thank you! Can't make it to the FUN(d)raiser?
