Earnest Cumberland Gap moods are delivered by Swiss singer/songwriter and violinist Mala Oreen and her rotating team of Chelsea McGough/cel, Dean Marold/b, Fats Kaplin/fi-stg-dob, Garrison Starr/voc, Joshua Britt/mand, Kris Donegan/g-b and Neilson Hubbard/dr-p. There’s a casual country and folk/bluegrass feel with cello, guitar and voice on pieces like “Breathing Hope’ while effects add richness to the Nashville skyline of “Threshold”. Tender pickings and her warm voice create a morning dew to “Moon Same Moon” with a troubadour and rural stroll are taken on “Ragged Queen”. A new minstrel of the dawn.
