Is that a crow?

Christian Kiefer's new album was released on March 7th...he just sent me a promo copy. The Black Dove has some lush and comfortable tracks on it. Apparently recorded in one week with Sharron Kraus, the album is a work of extreme love of the music...an acoustic trip through their emotions and dedication to what they do.

Christian Kiefer & Sharron Kraus - On The Chase

Definitely worth a listen...I'm not by any means an expert on the folk music scene, but it doesn't matter. The album is a pleasure...and it exists in its own world...somewhere between the traditional sounds of folk music and the new folk movement that is Sufjan Stevens and Devendra Banhart.

Give a listen to this track, on which Christian sings...
