Steve Gunn and the Black Twig Pickers are key figures in the current resurgence of American traditional and folk music. Gunns songwriting and inventive guitar playing are driven by his restless mind, having released 9 solo and collaborative albums and appeared as a guest on nearly as many since his debut in 2007. The Black Twig Pickers play a fervent form of traditional music from their Appalachian homeland. The group performs often forgotten traditional songs, especially from their Virginia stomping-ground, creating a living history of old time music. They also have an ongoing residency at the legendary Floyd Country Store. Seasonal Hire collects four original tunes and one traditional piece, with Gunn and the Black Twig Pickers' Mike Gangloff and Sally Anne Morgan, all taking turns with lead vocal and songwriting. Like all of the Twigs' albms, it was recorded live, without overdubs or amplification. Gunn fell right in with this aesthetic and threw down guitar parts like he'd been sparring with banjos and fiddles for years. The majority of the album was recorded at Joseph Dejarnettes Studio 808a in rural Topeco Virgina, where Gunn and Gangloff recorded Melodies for a Savage Fix, an improvisational masterpiece of pan-cultural meditations. Echoes of Melodies can be heard on Seasonal Hires titular b-side, an extended, beautiful ramble equally indebted to old time music and Indian ragas. Additional recording was done closer to Gunns New York home at the famed Black Dirt Studios. Black Dirt has been the home for many groundbreaking records by artists such as Charlie Parr, Jack Rose, Bill Orcutt, Expo 70, and Tom Carter. The album was mastered by Patrick Klem. Seasonal Hire shows the impressive range of some of most talented and imaginative musicians that have made a name for themselves experimenting in folk forms today.
