Quite a nice recording of a really enjoyable night at the now-defunct Albert Hole.  Hard to classify (just look how many headings DIME categorises Tim O'Brien under!)  I've settled for Bluegrass, but the set encompasses Jazz, Singer-Songwriter material, several songs by Gillian Welch and Bob Dylan, including a superb Subterranean Homesick Blues, great harmony singing, fiddling and guitar.

Please share this recording freely, (I asked permission to record first) but DON'T pass it on in a lesser format.  Treat yourself to investigating Tim and Mollie's music further, seeing them live, and buying their discs and DVDs.
