Sarah Jarosz is a 2017 Grammy Award-winning artist for Best Folk Album joined here by Parker Millsap, an Oklahoma native whose star is now rising brightly in Nashville. Their collaboration, including a cover of 'The Glory of Love' made famous by R&B crooners, The Five Keys, is smart and harmonious. Also worth noting is the bare bones drum machine and laid-back acoustic guitar, with the spotlight on nuanced vocal interlacing. This one's for the books. The Luck Sessions represent a partnership between Third Man Records in Nashville, TN, and the Luck Reunion Festival on the outskirts of Austin, TX, set on Willie Nelson's Ranch. Both teams collaborated with the hope of bringing interesting musicians together that maybe had disparate styles, yet a mutual appreciation for American music, to see what they would come up with on the spot, in a relaxed but immediate recording atmosphere. We organized two sessions a day with each duo doing one or two takes per song. The Luck Sessions took place during Nashville's annual Americana Fest. Together with the help of the festival curators, we chose from a pool of local artists and acts passing through. It allowed collaborations to showcase not only legacy artists in the world of Americana, veterans of the craft, but an abundance of up-and-comers. We know you'll enjoy these songs as much we do - they're sure to please.
