Watch West Virginia native multi-instrumentalist Tim O’Brien treat us to a 3-song session in the press box above DelFest alongside Jan Fabricius on mandolin and vocals. There is a sense of calm about Tim and his wife Jan as soon as they walk in, both seem completely at ease with themselves. Tim does not hesitate to share the fact that their “tour bus” is a Volvo station wagon when they travel as a duo. The lightly self-deprecating humor continues through the session, not so much to put himself or anybody else down, just enough to remind us to take it easy, like a woodpecker with a headache.
All three of the songs heard in this No Depression Session are on the current record 'Cup of Sugar,' which features an all-original track list, a surprising first in O’Brien’s career. First up is “Little Lamb Little Lamb,” watch the sense of mutual serenity permeate Tim’s playing and Jan’s effortless background vocals.
Second is the title track from 'Cup of Sugar,' a co-write with Jonathon Byrd musing on how sturdy a fence is needed to make for good neighbors. Sturdy-ish is the answer, stay in your lane but don’t hesitate to ask the occasional favor! The third and final song in our No Depression session, “The Pay’s a Lot Better Too,” fits perfectly in Tim’s laid-back worldview. The song, co-written with Thomm Jutz, points out that whether we savor or bellyache during our time on earth, we all turn to dust eventually, so we may as well enjoy the ride:
“Got nothing to do with being satisfied /
Or liking the work that we do /
The weather is better than six feet under /
And the pay’s a lot better too”

Tim is the man! It was so cool being in the same room with Tim and Jan and capturing that moment! I want to thank AEA and Universal Audio for all the support!

I would have flipped as well! .... been listening to Tim since I first saw him in I think 1986 at the northern rockies folk fest in idaho. I was just a 16 year old punk new yorker that didn't know a thing about bluegrass or western swing. That show changed a lot for me musically! Great work!!
