Chuck Ragan - Feast or Famine

FEAST OR FAMINE is undeniably a folk record in the most traditional sense. The violin-driven Do You Pray is reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen's SEEGER SESSIONS; Don't Cry recalls Uncle Tupelo, and the austere Symmetry is dripping with so much raw emotion that you can almost feel Ragen's presence next to you as he delivers his lyrics with his trademark urgency and passion. Contributors include Matt Skiba, Jolie Holland, Tim Barry, Nathan Maxwell, James Fearnly, and the album's producer Ted Hutt, who has worked with the Bouncing Souls and Flogging Molly.
