Hungrytown is the new self-titled offering from celebrated
"in fact, Hungrytown's music offers such an aura of authenticity—in titles and in tunes—it could be easily mistaken for original trad transcripts," declared Lee Zimmerman of Performing Songwriter. "Hall channels the graceful, reassuring presence of Judy Collins and Sandy Denny, while Anderson's lithe arrangements provide spare but tasteful support."
Rebecca is an award-winning songwriter whose two previous solo albums were released to much critical acclaim. She has been dubbed "a new folk classicist" by the Boston Herald and her stark ballad "O Lord," written from the point of view of a death-row prisoner, has been covered by legendary songsmith David Olney, among others. Ken is a roots music visionary, and a self-tutored scientist of pop culture, who deftly combines disparate elements—the keening wail of a '60s folk harmonica, a rushing creek of bubbling Appalachian fingerpicking, a heartstring-tugging oboe and even a string trio, to create the seamless musical fabric woven only in Hungrytown. He plays numerous instruments throughout the recording, as well as handling all production duties. "Anderson has a knack for crafting rich arrangements that don't clutter things up," writes Casey Rea of Seven Days, and his characteristic restraint is evident throughout the recording, lending graceful support to Rebecca's plainspoken songs.
