Special Consensus's The Trail of Aching Hearts, released on Pinecastle Records (PRC-1156) in May 2007, is the Chicago band's 13th album. Greg Cahill plays banjo; Ron Spears, mandolin; Justin Carbone, guitar; David Thomas, upright bass. Guests include Tim Crouch on fiddle and Phil Leadbetter on dobro. Note: catalog personnel also lists Alan Johnson and Joe Cox; neither has been confirmed for this album's session lineup, and the entries may reflect a data error. A mix of songs and instrumentals in the band's established style, the record extended their strong Pinecastle run immediately before the Compass Records partnership produced the Grammy-nominated and IBMA Album of the Year-winning Rivers and Roads.
