R.I., Brown Bird is a two person acoustic band that plays original, traditional American music in the best sense possible.  Their most recent album was recorded live to tape in Pawtucket, RI.  "Salt For Salt" is the first album by Brown Bird to capture the intense energy of the duo's live shows, surging in waves that often swell into high-spirited, foot-stomping madness. David Lamb and Morgan Eve Swain write simply,  - a tambourine, a bass drum and the cello often the sole accompaniment to Lamb's cracked, wood-smoke voice.  Lamb and Swain work beautifully together, with his banjo providing a backbone to a fiddle break, and her harmonies an echo of the melody.    Horse Feathers
