Dear Meadowlark [CD]

Purity still exists in modern-day music. There's the purity of real instruments - violin, acoustic guitar, upright bass, percussion, and even cello - coupled with homespun harmonies that magically float into the ether. Then, you have the purity of songs written from the soul that fill a human void. None of that ever goes out of style.Folk-Americana trio The Wildwoods, hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska, continue to bring sonic beauty and simplicity to today's increasingly complicated and cluttered musical landscape. With Dear Meadowlark, the band's fourth full-length album, The Wildwoods have once again taken the hallmarks of the folk-Americana sound and dressed it in indie sensibilities a la heroes Nickel Creek and Gillian Welch as well as genre mainstays Bon Iver and Mumford & Sons
