In April of 2005, Dead Men's Hollow released their debut CD, "Forever True", on Acoustic Americana. That debut CD gained national airplay and in February of 2006 earned two Washington Area Music Association Awards—Wammies—for Best Bluegrass Recording and Best Debut Recording (across all genres). The group won a third Wammie for Best Bluegrass Duo/Group.
In March of 2006, Dead Men's Hollow stepped back into the studio to record their second CD. This Washington, DC sextet has expanded their repertoire beyond old-time country, bluegrass, southern gospel, fiddle tunes and country blues. On "Two-Timin'", listeners will hear western swing, a capella, honky tonk and even a baroque lullaby.
Recording: "Two-Timin'" was engineered, produced and mixed by Chris Murphy of RHL Audio both in Studio D Cue Recording Studios in Falls Church, VA (track 17) and at "home" in Clifton, VA (tracks 1-16). Mr. Murphy has 30 years of recording experience and counts on the Discovery Channel, Disney and Fox as clients.
Mastering: The CD was mastered by GRAMMY winner Charlie Pilzer at Airshow in Springfield, VA. Mr. Pilzer won his award re-mastering "The Anthology of American Folk Music" for Smithsonian Folkways in 1997.
Guests: Dan Mazer played banjo on tracks 2, 7 and 11 and Ron Goad joined us for our "Angel Band". The rest is us with one track each per voice or instrument.
