a0216663870_10

Our friendly fellow stringer stranger, Grandpa Egg  (Jeb Morris) has been busy relocating from Nashville to Philadelphia and some how, has still managed to track a sophomore release titled “Praying Mantis”

Grandpa released the following statement : “These recordings focus on a cast of characters who live in a meadow across the road from the house where I grew up.  They include, but are not limited to: a girl named Sally, a bluebird named Hank, a daisy called Daisy, an Earthworm Wally, a Christopher Cricket, and a praying mantis named Pellapetisimo.”

Produced by Morris’ brother, Bart.

We highly encourage that you visit EGG’s website to keep updated and buy/stream the album from start to finish via the link below:

OLD SMOKEY / “DEAD MAN’S POSE”

This message arrived yesterday via the OSO :

Old Smokey at GF House Fest 2012 by WJAY

AMERICA!! LOOK AWAY from yon Stupor Bowl. This promotion commotion, courtesy of Benjamin McCormick, Esq., appeared at our offices earlier today. The video is for “Dead Man’s Pose,” the lead single off Old Smokey’s debut album, “Wester Easter,” which is due out any day now (April 29, 2014 to speak specifically) as a joint release on Cloud Recordings and Gypsy Farm Records. Mr. McCormick, who has no time for such trivialities as The Facebooks, also lent his talents to the album’s artwork, for which (and for this) we at the offices of Old Smokey are eternally grateful.
