Waterloo, Tennessee (Rounder Records, 2007) is the second album from Uncle Earl, the all-female old-time string band of Abigail Washburn on banjo, Rayna Gellert on fiddle, Kristin Andreassen on fiddle and guitar, and K.C. Groves on mandolin, with Erin Youngberg, Dave Haney, and Karl Lauber as additional contributors. Produced by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin — whose long-standing interest in acoustic folk music made him an apt choice — the record presents old-time, Appalachian, and folk material with close-harmony singing and acoustic string-band instrumentation. The band's membership represented some of the most accomplished younger players working at the intersection of old-time revival and singer-songwriter sensibility, and Waterloo, Tennessee captures them in the period when that combination was generating some of the most vital acoustic music to emerge from the roots community of the mid-2000s.
