The Low Anthem were the musical guests on the Late Show with David Letterman last night on CBS. They performed "Ghost Woman Blues," the opening track off their soon-to-be-released Nonesuch album, Smart Flesh, the follow-up to their 2009 Nonesuch Records debut album, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, due out February 22. The band had promised "a simple affair" and made good on that, gathering close with Ben Knox Miller on guitar, Jocie Adams on clarinet, Jeff Prystowsky on jaw harp, Mat Davidson on hammer dulcimer, and all four band members making sweet four-part harmony. Letterman even came around at the end to compliment their playing, not least Jeff's jaw-harping.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
