Stay Awhile cover

Stay Awhile is a 1995 Rounder CD (0334) by Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin, who describe their music as old-time, early country, old-style bluegrass, recent songs and very old traditional folk songs. They have sung together as a duo since 1974 and married in 1987. On the album Stecher plays guitar, mandolin, banjo and fiddle and Brislin plays guitar and banjo, and the two share the vocals.

The twelve tracks include “Seven Year Blues,” “Short Life of Trouble,” “Jack Monroe,” “Blue Mountain” and “Fall on My Knees.” Steven Strauss plays string bass on “No Heaven on the Country Road” and on the hornpipe medley. That track pairs two hornpipes, “Laybourne’s” and “The Grants’,” with Alasdair Fraser joining on fiddle and Avram Siegel on banjo. Larry Hanks sings bass on “Long Time Travelling” and on the closing “We Shall Meet Someday.”
