"A kind of Americana that has its roots in the music of Appalachia, but possesses a heart big enough to accept the lifeblood of modern musics, Laila and Smitty sounds like something old given new life in the present day. Part sonic journal, part music photo album...Just outstanding" - Bird is the Worm "But this record is different: it feels sincere, present, emotionally vulnerable yet musically confident: a "new thing" with respect for many, many old things...It really does feel like magic" - Words on Sounds Kenny Warren - trumpet, voice Jeremiah Lockwood - guitars Myk Freedman - lap steel Adam Hopkins - bass Carlo Costa - drums Special guest: Ilusha Tsinadze - banjo Pretty Polymorphous Records ℗ © 2015 Kenny Warren .........................................
