Weighted Mind

Description

Sierra Hull has been recognised from age 11 as a virtuoso mandolin-player, astonishing audiences and fellow-musicians alike. Now a seasoned touring musician, Hull has delivered her most inspired, accomplished, and mature recorded work to date.

With production by Béla Fleck (who also appears on two tracks) and special harmony vocal guests Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn and Rhiannon Giddens, adding to the lustre.

Weighted Mind is a landmark achievement, not just in Sierra Hulls career, but in the world of folk-pop, bluegrass, and acoustic music overall. With instrumentation comprised largely of mandolin, bass, and vocals, this is genre-transcending music at its best. Hull speaks eloquently, in her challenging and sensitive originals, her heartfelt vocals, and once again breaks new ground on the mandolin. Béla Fleck special guests on banjo on two tracks and duo partner, Ethan Jodziewicz, not only anchors the record on bass, but introduces us to a major new instrumental voice.
