notes

"She Waits For Night" - Uncle Earl's first full-length album, released in 2005 on Rounder Records positioned the all-g'Earl quintet as one of the most exciting and promising new bands to emerge in any genre.

Call it old-time for our times: with their infectious energy, undeniable charisma, sharp musicianship, and unique repertoire of original and traditional songs, Uncle Earl are bringing the stringband legacy proudly into the modern era. Their debut album, She Waits for Night, is that rare project that is enriched by tradition but never enslaved by it - at once both defiantly old-fashioned and defiantly contemporary.

"The most exciting of the new string bands gleefully kicking old time music into the 21st century. Its sound is enticingly raw, urban-edgy, and irresistibly high-stepping." - The Boston Globe "

...spellbinding." - No Depression

    No guys are needed on this excellent album. The "Uncles" do it perfectly well. Pale Moon is my special favourite.

    An absolutely brilliant album, I love the tempo and can feel the girls are really enjoying themselves.

  • Fun!

    This is a great disc with a lot of energy and variety! What a fun band! It's cool that the ladies trade primary vocals on different pieces, and that the pieces have wide-ranging tempos/instrumental focus. It gives one the opportunity to see the range of each band member vocally and instrumentally. Really enjoyable.

  • Foot stompin' pleasure

    This cd became an instant favorite as soon as I began to play it. Amazing musicianship, beautiful tunes - sounds like old but new, heartaching but uplifting, free and easy, toe tappin', foot stompin', pleasure creating music.
