Where the River Meets the Road, released in 2017, is a multi-artist compilation project drawing together voices from across the acoustic and Americana traditions around shared material rooted in Southern river-country culture. The track "Little Annie" is among the record's more traditional contributions, and the album as a whole reflects a curatorial sensibility interested in continuity between older folk and contemporary acoustic styles. Compilation projects of this kind serve an important documentary function — they capture a moment in which musicians from different generations and backgrounds find common cause in shared repertoire — and this one is well-chosen for its ability to range across the relevant terrain without losing coherence.
