Obrien Tim - Paper Flowers [CD]

Two-time Grammy award winning Americana artist Tim O'Brien might operate a bit under music business radar, but he's been an essential part of the fabric of the folk, bluegrass, Americana, and songwriter scenes for the past fifty years. Since his emergence as singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter with the iconic 1980s bluegrass group Hot Rize, the West Virginia native has continued down a diverse and constantly evolving musical pathway. In the process he's written songs for people like Garth Brooks and the Dixie Chicks, released rootsy classics like Red on Blonde and The Crossing, and earned a few Grammy awards. For the past ten years, OBrien has performed primarily with his wife Jan Fabricius, and their new release Paper Flowers is tangible proof of that deep collaboration. As O'Brien explains, their partnership started informally. "Jan started adding harmony vocals to shows and recordings soon after we became a couple in 2013. We would play music around the house, and she would learn new songs as I wrote them. Then soon enough we started writing together." When Cathy Fink and Jon Weisberger approached O'Brien in 2023 to contribute to what became 2024s Bluegrass Sings Paxton, Tim and Jan wrote You Took Me In with the man himself. Encouraged by the results, the three scheduled weekly Zoom co-writing sessions and the songs kept coming. Paper Flowers includes twelve of those songs as well as three more originals, two of which Jan and Tim wrote together and one that Tim wrote. Recorded at Cowboy Arms and the Tractor Shed in Nashville with help from longtime collaborators like bassists Mike Bub and Edgar Meyer, fiddler Shad Cobb, keyboard ace Mike Rojas and drummer Larry Atamanuik, the result is a story-in-song of the couples life together. OBrien says "Wed been carving out our duet stage identity for years and now we had a body of our own songs.It was time to make this record".
