This is exciting news. The bass duo is a great format. I don't think these two as different as it might seem. Edgar gets that roots/country/BG stuff to swing hard.

 

[Joshua Pickenpaugh]

I _love_ the title!

 

[J_Bass]

Thank you for sharing!

 

[Jim Dombrowski]

I saw them together live in Denver in 2017. Quite a treat.

I think Barnyard Disturbance should have been the album title as well. Very few people who buy this will be shocked that the bass can play melodies.

Great track! I can't wait to listen to the whole thing. Christian is obviously a very fruitful performer, and thank the lord for that, but it's always a pleasant surprise when Edgar pops up with something new.

I wonder how this music will sound to someone who doesn't listen to a lot of solo double bass?

Edgar's recorded Barnyard Disturbance before. Not that it would be a terrible title for the album, but it's not a new tune for the album, and Edgar has probably had other albums that title would better fit.

Another track from this album is out and it's quite charming

Ripping. The LP version is out now as well. I hope they keep this going.
