简介
The Mallett Brothers Band’s 5th studio album, “The Falling of the Pine: Songs from the Maine Woods,” celebrates the history of the band’s home state by reinterpreting a collection of songs found in the 1927 book, “Minstrelsy of Maine.” It’s a concept album that began two years ago when Will pulled the dusty old book off the shelf at the family homestead in Sebec, kicking off a labor of love that has kept the band busy since. Recorded at the band’s Portland studio, the album cloaks these historic songs in a modern folk-country-rock aesthetic, with the simple goal of paying tribute to the men and women who penned the lyrics (one song was allegedly written by a young man waiting to die after he had been crushed by a load of logs), and the folklorists Fannie Hardy Eckstorm and Mary Winslow Smyth, whose efforts to preserve these songs for the next generation provided the impetus for the project.
