Strange Fascination – Three Weeks Early!

March 25, 2020

Greetings from a socially distanced bunker in temperate Raleigh, NC. Presently John is playing his fiddle in the shower, Greg is homeschooling his daughter and Dave has re-caned a chair.  Reading in the paper that Lady Gaga has delayed the release of her new album, we here at CCL Inc. have decided on an equal and opposite reaction - therefore we are releasing our newest masterpiece Strange Fascination THREE WEEKS EARLY!  Please click here to pre-order and put a little note on your calendar to start streaming away on April 24th.  Meanwhile you can enjoy the lyric video for the title track by clicking here or viewing below.  All the best and we hope to return to a stage near you as soon as common sense allows.
Love,
CCL

Stay Well & Listen to Strange Fascination

March 16, 2020

Howdy Friends,
As you are all most likely well aware, any large gatherings are on-hold at the moment. We are regretfully but dutifully cancelling all performances for the near future. We love playing music for all of you so stay tuned as we will still be releasing songs from the upcoming record as the days go by and hopefully John will keep releasing videos of him playing the fiddle in his shower on instagram. Stay well and in the meantime, here is the second single and title track from our new album "Strange Fascination" featuring our good friend Sharon Van Etten on harmony vocals.

Yours (at a safe distance),
CCL

10th Anniversary Remastered Reissue of Wildwood

March 12, 2020

Wildwood was a landmark album for the band.  Coming on the heels of IV where the band finally felt embraced by an audience for being themselves, Wildwood captured music that no longer felt beholden to any sort of genre specific rule book - to us it was as much U2, REM & The Band as John Hartford & Bill Monroe.  We hit Echo Mountain in Asheville and felt free to experiment in the studio with electric guitars and upright piano and were lucky enough to snag our good friend Zeke Hutchins on the drums for a few cuts.  The band is excited to present this fully Remastered and Clear! Vinyl version on its 10th anniversary for all the fans to re-discover and enjoy.  All the best from the boys.

Whilst over in London for the Americana UK Conference we stopped by the BluesKitchen studios for a short session.  We performed Station to Station, Nothing and a cover of Warren Zevon's Carmelita thrown in for practice.  Have a look-see below or by clicking on the song title above and enjoy the fruits of our jet-lagged labors.

Cheers,
