 Gob Iron release debut album 'Death Songs' "Some classic recordings are premeditated, but in certain rare instances, when an artist has something else entirely in mind, art barges through the studio door and takes over, bending the artist to its will."
That's the word on the forthcoming album 'Death Songs For The Living' -- the debut from Gob Iron, featuring Son Volt's Jay Farrar and Varnaline's Anders Parker out October 31 on Transmit Sound/Legacy Recordings.
 "This spontaneously created but strikingly coherent album stands as a real-time landmark from these two musical and spiritual kinsmen."
"Employing what Pete Seeger once dubbed "the folk process," Farrar and Parker have reimagined songs by the likes of Stephen Foster, the Stanley Brothers, the Rev. JM Gates and others, interpolating elements of other traditional pieces as well as writing new, sometimes highly personal lyrics, so that the results sound both ancient and immediate, bringing a new layer of authenticity to the material. It was as if the very atmosphere of America was filling the lungs of the two artists as they sang."
