Editorial Reviews

Ordinary Seasons,, Polecat Creek's newest release, follows on the heels of 2004's critically acclaimed Leaving Eden. While still rooted in traditional music, the songs of Ordinary Seasons are of 2007 - tales of life and death, love and loss, all grounded in language of the natural world. With the foundation of Laurelyn Dossett and Kari Sickenberger offering up their dazzling songwriting and stunning command of vocal harmony, Polecat Creek once again showcases the talents of Riley Baugus on banjo and guitar, and introduces talented young fiddler Natalya Weinstein and mandolin player Eric Robertson. It was recorded and produced by Grammy-winning Steven Heller, known for his work with artists like Doc Watson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 14, 2009

Excellent, well-rounded album. Does not grab you as quick as the more bluegrass "Leaving Eden", but it showcases a broader range of styles for the songwriters and is a more polished album in both production and arrangement. Polecat Creek leans more to the "alt-country" side of the country music spectrum in both lyrics and composition - more Appalachia and less Nashville.

I saw Polecat Creek in concert and enjoyed every minute of it. They were fun and personal, and had great harmony. I think "Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate" is particularly fun, and their a cappella songs are excellent.
