Steve Gunn and the Black Twig Pickers are key figures in the current resurgence of American traditional and folk music. Gunns songwriting and inventive guitar playing are driven by his restless mind, having released 9 solo and collaborative albums and appeared as a guest on nearly as many since his debut in 2007. The Black Twig Pickers play a fervent form of traditional music from their Appalachian homeland. The group performs often forgotten traditional songs, especially from their Virginia stomping-ground, creating a living history of old time music. They also have an ongoing residency at the legendary Floyd Country Store. Seasonal Hire collects four original tunes and one traditional piece, with Gunn and the Black Twig Pickers' Mike Gangloff and Sally Anne Morgan, all taking turns with lead vocal and songwriting. Like all of the Twigs' albms, it was recorded live, without overdubs or amplification. Gunn fell right in with this aesthetic and threw down guitar parts like he'd been sparring with banjos and fiddles for years. The majority of the album was recorded at Joseph Dejarnettes Studio 808a in rural Topeco Virgina, where Gunn and Gangloff recorded Melodies for a Savage Fix, an improvisational masterpiece of pan-cultural meditations. Echoes of Melodies can be heard on Seasonal Hires titular b-side, an extended, beautiful ramble equally indebted to old time music and Indian ragas. Additional recording was done closer to Gunns New York home at the famed Black Dirt Studios. Black Dirt has been the home for many groundbreaking records by artists such as Charlie Parr, Jack Rose, Bill Orcutt, Expo 70, and Tom Carter. The album was mastered by Patrick Klem. Seasonal Hire shows the impressive range of some of most talented and imaginative musicians that have made a name for themselves experimenting in folk forms today.

Quality!
Color: Brown
Bought this for my husband. It is a bit weighty, which makes it feel substantial.
The covering material feels like velvety suede. We got the brown one. It looks like we spent good money for it but the price was really reasonable.
He just needed something in between small and large and this was perfect for storing his glasses, watch, billfold, etc.
Great quality! Very pleased!

Man Tray!
Color: *Black, Color: *Black
Love it my girlfriend had a “purse bowl” and i always left my stuff laying around so I wanted something to hold my daily essentials all in one spot, So i chose the most minimalistic and simple tray for myself and i gotta say, it’s really nice, it imitates the leather feels and simple luxury look. I highly recommend this for men if you need an area to leave your items. Size is great imo.

Great valet tray!
Color: Brown
I needed something to help me keep my personal items organized, and saw this valet tray. I like how it looked and bought one. Then a bought a couple for my kids for Christmas presents, then a few more for around the house. We all like them because it feels good to be somewhat organized. I would definitely recommend them.
