Tear in the Eye Is a Wound in the Heart

Portland's Black Prairie follow up their critically acclaimed debut album, Feast of the Hunter's Moon on Sugar Hill Records, with a second on the label, A Tear in the Eye Is a Wound in the Heart, again featuring the band's eclectic take on alternative Americana, mixing bluegrass, string band reels, Gypsy loops and swoons, folk, blues, and a dose of klezmer into a fascinating set of songs that are as carefully arranged and composed as they are ever-shifting.
