New Mexicana

I do not have much of a bio for Boris McCutcheon but I do have his first album Mother Ditch. It is an excellent folk/roots/americana deal. I believe he grew up in Massachusetts and moved to New Mexico where he currently resides. His first album is great and has a few Boston area players on it. What I truly like is his off beat songwriting and the fact that the album has touches of Old Time instrumentation. The whole album is solid but I will throw up my favorite. This track has Aaron Goff on mandolin and Mark Lever on tuba. Just the whole mood of the track is exceptional. And I always love the old school tuba replacing a bass. Throw that mandolin in there and I am hooked.

Enjoy.
