Review Text
Red Yarn's Old Barn is the fifth album by Austin-born, Portland-based family musician Red Yarn (aka Andy Furgeson). With originals, traditionals & a honky tonk cover song reflecting Furgeson's roots in the Texas Hill Country, Red Yarn's Old Barn tells of an epic barndance where all critters are welcome. Furgeson co-produced with GRAMMY-winner Dean Jones & engineer Adam Selzer. Furgeson & his wife Jessie Eller-Isaacs are backed by Jones, Dan Hunt (Neko Case), Annalisa Tornfelt (Black Prairie) & Paul Brainard (M. Ward, Richmond Fontaine), with guests like Jenny Conlee (the Decemberists), Justin Lansing (Okee Dokee Brothers) & Jazzy Ash. Red Yarn paints the Old Barn as an inclusive microcosm of the USA. "We'll all feel better if we could all just be together," Red sings, "and there's room here in my Old Barn for you."
