Victor, Idaho — Ben Winship has announced the release of two recordings after a considerable haitus since his last solo project. Two brilliant new albums packed with original compositions feature his considerable talents as mandolininst, singer, songwriter and band leader.
On Acorns, Winship wades deeply into his love of of old time string-band music, while Toolshed delves into everything from blues, funk and Dixie to folk.
About the project Winship said, "Its been a LONG time since I recorded a solo project of my own. I’ve recorded loads of collaborative projects in the interim, but nothing truly my own. I was guessing that it had been 12 or 15 years, but then I checked, and its been 22 years since One Shoe Left came out!
"I'd been working on these two projects simultaneously for a while now, and when it became apparent that they were both nearing completion at the same time, I figured why wait? Kind of like bread — I really want you to have it while its fresh!"
