Dubl Handi, "a
lovely small washboard with a Galvanized metal rubbing surface. This
washboard was specifically designed to take away with you so you could
wash your clothes on the move!" Whoops, wrong Dubl Handi. I mean
Dubl Handi, the acoustic duo of Brian Geltner and Hilary Hawke, not the washboard from the
The Columbus Washboard Company. Well, you can see where their name derives. We were sent a preview copy of their new CD "
Up Like The Clouds" and we will never be confused again. First, this album brings back many memories with historic classics such as
Little Birdie,
New River Train,
Cluck Old Hen,
Single Girl, and
Poor Ellen Smith. And it introduced me to some other classics such as
Katie Cruel,
C'mon Baby, and
Randy Lynn Rag. How did I miss that Earl Scruggs hit? But a single song, alone, sums up this release. Check out
Undone in Sorrow. Beautiful vocals, soothing banjo from Hawke, and melodic snare drum rhythms from Geltner. Awesome. We've been listening to a lot of great music coming out of Brooklyn (
Yarn,
Spirit Family Reunion). Dubl Handi can be added to that list.
