Far From Home by The Capos

Description

This is definitely a collector's item. Imagine the slide of the dobro, the trill of the mandolin, the thumping of the bass, the tapping of the washboard, combined with the beautiful harmony of two female voices. This was the foundation of the very popular Baton Rouge trio The Capos, composed of Catrina Rogers, Dorothy LeBlanc, and Mike Whitney. Far From Home is their debut, and only, project. Time and distance has separated this group, but their sound will stand the test of time. Here's what you'll hear:

drinkin with the devil (M. Whitney)
i'll fly away (trad'l)
mountain song (C. Rogers)
poor jolie (M. Whitney)
flying solo (D. LeBlanc)
shady grove (trad'l)
i could've said i don't, but i didn't (D. LeBlanc)
house of the rising sun (trad'l)
do not stand by my grave (M. Whitney)

Recorded in 2006 at Fred Weaver's studio in Baton Rouge, LA. To hear a few tunes from this project, go to www.myspace.com/shadygrovemydarlin
