A Musical Odyssey from Appalachia to Himalaya: We know pretty well the connection between hillbilly and Celtic music, but Tim O‘Brien and his pals take it a step farther here by connecting hillbillies to Timbuktu. And it works. Because he's Tim O'Brien---with a couple of real traditional pals at the helm. It certainly doesn't sound like anything from the British Isles and it's a pretty wild trip for world beaters out for new kicks from old pals they trust. Maybe all folk music really does come from the same place. 05/04/12
