with a descending circular flourish of acoustic guitar notes, the bluegrass influence on follow me down is evident, but the almost weightlessness suggests something else, something perhaps more. by the time the husky alto voice comes in, inviting us to follow me down through the cotton fields/ moon shadow shine by the well / lead us down a road, where no one goes, we can run away and the bewitchment is complete. sarah jarosz, now 19, made quite a mark two years ago with song up in her head, but rather than hone the traditional appalachian discipline, the sensualist singer explores the possibilities of acoustic / roots music conjuring songscapes, erotic tableau and enough tension to hold listeners transfixed throughout follow me down. largely self-penned save for a shimmering rendition of bon dylan's ring them bells featuring vocals from vince gill and a lean, brooding meander through radiohead's minor-keyed gem the tourist with the punch brothers, plus a banjo-and-fiddle-strewn haunter based on edgar allan poes elegiac poem cannabel lee made all the more haunting by dan tyminskis counterpoint vocals these songs could serve as a map to the bohemian gypsy heart of a young woman coming into her own. theyre rife with desire, hope, the hunger to see what the world holds, a little uncertainty and always the exultant joy that can be found in the playing.
